Lex Luthor’s Descent


Scifi Wire interview the producers of Smallville, they go into more detail of one of the five new episodes after “Veritas”, “Descent”, where Lex finally becomes the Luthor well all know.

“Descent” deals with Luthor’s decline into “his own personal hell,”
Peterson said. “There is a major turn that happens in his life that drives him
into pure darkness. … It’s Lex’s real descent into the villain he becomes. I
think that is what fans have been waiting for. It’s what I’ve been waiting for,”
Peterson added with a laugh.

I’m afraid that since “Traveler”, “Veritas” will have it’s moments, but will have no effect on the series whatsoever, it’ll just be full of fluff.

Afterall these episodes were written before the writers went on strike and like we talked about on the show, that they didn’t make an effort.

So hopefully they come back, start cracking out some winners, and that this Lex-centric has a huge impact on the series as a whole.
