Wow!! I'm amazed and overwhelmed by the number of responses to this! Thank you all, so very much indeed.
- not only have I never watched Smallville and never intend to, I'm a great fan of John Shea.
I adore the way he played Lex Luthor. He's extremely attractive, and his Lex played on that - we have the personable manner, the lavish amounts of charm and the way he has of seeming to give his whole attention to the person he's with. If all we ever saw was the public persona of Shea's Lex Luthor, and we didn't know from Superman mythology that Lex is a villain, we'd be taken in. In fact, without knowing his evil nature I'd see him as a deserving rival for Clark!
Anyway, I'm going to try to post part 2 tomorrow; part 3 some time during the coming week (I have a houseful of visitors for the next 10 days, which will reduce my internet time somewhat!
).
Thank you all again, so much indeed!
Wendy
