I squealed like a little girl when I saw what they'd done with Lionel's past. I love both Lex and his father. If it wasn't for the amazing Luthor dynamics I am convinced the show would have died a stagnant death already.
People should just face it that the best episodes are the Luthor centric ones.
See, the thing is, I love sv!Lex, to hug and to have and to hold, but I love Lionel pretty much the same way. And I've loved Lex before sv. I think he's cute.
And you are also a cute thing, in a different, less evil way. *Pettings*
Anyway. My Lionel is happy to think Lex would grow up. So I let him see random comic canon and he's smiling. Not to mention the Kon/Tim/Bart. ;)
My unofficial opinion is everyone hates Lionel because they're jealous of his fabulous hair.
That might be part of why Lex reacts so badly to him (although I think he doesn't really hate him).
But seriously, the interactions between them are so much richer because of that similarity, both within their universe and on a meta level. On the meta level, I love the complex relations in the construction of the two. But then, I've always loved Lionel, since he appeared on the scene and I love the complex villain that Lex is supposed to become (not the movies' parody though!)
