Lexmas

I don't have much to say about the episode. I really, really enjoyed all the Lex parts of him in the future. I don't want Lex and Lana to get together, but I did like them married and I loved the kids. I do have to admit that when Lex lifted his shirt and found the scar, I couldn't help but think, "Well, now we know where Alexander came from."

The Clark/Chloe/Santa Claus thing was... lame. But I love Clark. And I love Chloe.

Lex makes me want to squeeze him hard. I want someone to write a fic where Lex makes the right choice for at least 7 years of happiness. After Lana dies, Clark has Lex and the kids come live with him for a change of scene, etc. They end up falling in love, of course, and get marrid, blah, blah.

I know it's not an original idea, but neither is having a woman die in childbirth. I'm so fucking sick of that storyline. I think it's my least favorite way to kill someone off. It's cheap and lame and I'm tired of it. *grrr*

But, really, overall I liked it.

Oh, and I need someone else to write the typical happy-ending fic because I may write the Hamlet one. And I'm not good at domestic future-ficcy things. I'm more AU-LLAR-pirate ficcy things.

ETA My desire for Lex making a different choice is no way indicative of my dissatisfaction with the episode. I'm perfectly content for Lex to make all the wrong choices in his endless pursuit to protect himself from the whims of a harsh Lady Fate and harsher father. This is the final cummulation of seasons of abuse and hurt and lack of control Lex has been through, and he's finally made the choice that he believes will reap the greatest rewards for himself (keep him the safest.)

*However*, I live in a land of denial. And, in fanfic, I want that denial and happiness and love. And that's why I want an AU of this episode, because it was so good and yet so painful.
