How is the show going to deal with a Lex-less season?

Honestly, how often have they explained anything important these last few years?

This was a really tough poll. There were too many good answers.

They'll just get poor TW shirtless in an attempt to distract people.

This is bad how? Oh... sorry.

On my browser tab, all that shows is "Hiatus Poll#2: Lex's abs..." Now I think they should just get a body double, wrap his head in bandages, and have him showing up without a shirt on.

I'm down with this! The show should now just have Clark shirtless and a Lex-body double who will be shirtless throughout too. The long awaited Lex-shower scene would be greatly welcomed, although that would probably not be as effective with a body double. MR was, and is, simply Gold.

How about have JG come back as Lex and use another transference explanation for it?

There was just so many choices but I think this one jimmy4 was a good one. I know it wasn't an option but you know I could see tptb do this one


But my two favorites are he's been seriously injured and has a lengthy recovery and they're just not going to explain anything at all.

I like Shirtless Lex, though without MR it won't have quite the same effect. As for how the show will explain his Shirtless status -- everyone will just keep saying Lex is too evil for his shirt.

(The younger generation might not get this joke.)

AH HAHAHAHA! It's funny 'cause it's true.

I don't know which to pick either. I like the Hide and Seek option because it's so darn cute. I like the Yeti one too because, in my mind, the Yeti and Lex can bond and become BFFs. I'm always up for shirtless!Lex, but no MR is a deal-breaker. I'm certain the most likely option is the "half-assed explanation". I'll tune in to hear it, if only for the lulz.

A Lex-less season....

I think everyone in town will immediately forget he ever existed, as SV residents have a tendency to do that. If Lex does get mentioned, it'll be "Lex who? Oh, that sexy EVOL bald guy that randomly did EVOL things!" and then change the conversation. ;)

Shirtless TW...I could live with that. *g* I'd like it if he went around wearing a piece of crystal on a necklace like Lana did. Clark wearing a necklace containing a piece of the crystal that pancaked Lex...(Anyone like this idea?)

I guarantee you, they'll say he's been injured, and that injury will involve him being unconscious. For some reason the show loves to knock Lex out. Maybe the writers like seeing him lying around on the floor, I don't know, but he will be knocked out.

What was the total count for the times Lex had been unconscious? I read it somewhere but can't find it.

I got it! :-) But then, I'm not that young! :-(

I just noticed that no one thinks Lex would become a monk and take a vow of silence. :-)))

Uh, that's slightly brilliant. Partly because I can sort of see it happening somehow, if not using a crystal, then maybe having Clark branded or permanently marked up in the destruction of the Fortress, thus forever carrying the reminder of Lex's demise on his person.

Or maybe some kind of transference will take place and Clark will return to town totally fucking bald. Then MR can come back with a full mullet if he'd like and that takes care of that.

Tom once said in an interview that he was up for shaving his head, for a chance to play Lex...


I do!


Yes!!! Lex needs someone to look after him and in my mind it would look like this.

Hahaha! *beams at Durq*
I think I was like 13 when that song came out so it's forever imprinted on my brain. Dammit, if Clark gets 2 Right Said Fred videos, then Lex deserves one too, it's only fair! And that reminds me...This video still hasn't been made : (
Well, I'd be down with it if he were to become a priest. He could belong to a sect called the Order of Brotherly Love. How does the joke go, "preaching to the perverted?" Or, wait! wait! he could become a nun! I hear the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are recruiting... Yes! Now all we need is a poll to come up with his drag name! : D *bats lashes hopefully at Tennison*
ETA: A few suggestions that came to mind as I was falling asleep last night:
Sister Ann T. Hero
Sister Wu B.
Sister Tse Xzhi Le Xzhi
Sister I. Sue Inge Botha-Weiss

He'd have to be chaste and that's just not right! After all Lex has been through, he deserves some lovin'.This is the greatest idea that I have ever read in my entire life. I would forgive everything if this happened. Well, almost everything...OMG, of course! :DI LOL'd. There is genius at work here, Chicle.

This is perfection.


Yes. *loves him*

Maybe Clark ate him.

Oh, I sure he did. Hehehehehehe...

So if Clark shows with a big belly it doesn't mean that Lex got him pregnant?!

"And I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George..."

I'm all for this. IMO, the Yeti is better looking than Clark and more likely to be loyal. Also warmer on those cold nights in the Arctic.

Oh he did! First Lex got Clark pregnant and then Clark ate him:)

Oh yes! I'll hug him too.

Ideas for the next poll?

Ha! Clark is a Black Widow Spider.
