Actually, the entire mind wipe was extememly formulaic - to me. I was following a very specific path of how the memories would be lost and how it is affecting the inner Lex at each part.
ah, but see that's formulatic in the theme and the storyline not in the presentation and in the storytelling, which is marvelous.
how it is affecting the inner Lex at each part
ooooooh! ::rewatch:: beginning with Clark saving him (don't it always? ::smirk::), to Clark watching him (am assuming Lex's POV), to Clark leaving him, to Lex trying to touch him, to Clark getting hurt by Kryptonite, to Lex staring at his hands? ("blood on my hands" metaphor? I don't know the context of that scene), and of course Lex shooting at Clark and Clark falling...
I did try to keep a lot of the timing inconsistant - but that was just a happy accident
oh hush. Quite a lot of genious comes from happy accidents, and it says a lot of your abilities that you've recognized it for what it is instead of going back and trying to 'fix' it.
btw. rewatching it for the nth time, you did the Lex!face fading to the sun...::boggles:: and what with Clark getting his powers from the sun, and what with Clark discovering his powers because of Lex and forced to use them because of Lex and. dude, that's neat, especially with the "sun falling to earth" and then switching to Clark being taking away from him...to the superman symbol to Lex holding krypotonite, to Lex with the Clark=superboy proof, to comparing Lex with Lionel to the "I'm unclean line"...
oooo.
neat
I think the future is inevitable with these guys - in many ways they live in a state of pre-determined destiny and I think the show is strongest when it plays up that theme.
heh, that's actually why I went cold turkey on the show/fandom for awhile. Couldn't have the show without the fandom and the fandom is so on angst. Not that I don't love a good angstfest, but I didn't need to be jerked into a pit of gaping depression by every. single. fic. (do that quite well enough on my own, thank y'kindly)
nevertheless, I'm a sucker for great vids, and a sucker for great music, and.
