Reunion:
Loved this one! The flashbacks were awesome! Loved the teaser!
Loved the supportive Lexana! Although one thing I have noticed is that some people have been saying now that Lexana has grown on them as a pair after Arrow, but they still don't consider them very sexy. I mean don't get me wrong, I am loving the Lexana we get! But considering they have kissed just once all season (during the sex in Wither), it wouldn't hurt to have them kiss occasionally. The writers fell into the trap of making Lex and Helen rather passionless back in season 2, but Lex is a sexy character (as seen in Bound!) and should be kissing his girlfriend more.
I am still wondering why a set can't be build for Lex's bedroom. But that's a minor complaint I suppose :P
I did love the Lex/Duncan friendship, it reminded me of early Clex. And it was fabulous character development which really showed why Lex was always so desperate for friendship with Clark, and keen to prove that he can be trusted. I remember Leech when Lex insisted "I'm not going to hit you, Clark". And in the Mortal fight, Lex got punched a lot, and took a very long time to hit back. I think that all relates to Reunion, and Lex not wanting to let his temper out with his friend. Back in Diochtic Lex was attending anger management courses, in Perry he is afraid of his own anger, and that's why he goes to therapy after all. Love love love the continuity.
My only slight quibble is that I thought Lex's furious reaction to Duncan was a bit too quick. It seemed that he just unleashes after getting thrown in the fence, and considering Duncan was his only friend, I'd have thought it would take more to make him crack like that. But anyway, wonderful flashbacks still! Reunion added a lot to Lex's character. And more continuity! Continuity with Warrior Angel! *cheers*
This is another petty complaint, but it bugged me that Oliver and Lex weren't more evenly matched. It didn't fit that adult Lex was still getting pushed around by Ollie, he should have done his kung fu on him! I mean he was utterly humiliated and just tossed around the room easily, what about his previously claiming to have been taught how to fight and defend himself by an expert? After seeing Oliver bully young Lex, it would have been satisfying for Lex to get a couple of punches in as an adult (other than the one that Oliver let him have anyway)
Oliver continues to be really hot and wonderful though! I'm actually preferring Lex/Oliver and Clark/Oliver scenes to the Clex scene, which kind of surprises me *g*
I was disappointed at minimal Chloe again *sighs* But it was nice to see her outside of The Daily Planet, and having dinner with the Kent's. I liked her interest in Oliver *g*
Oh and I'm enjoying the writing of Lionel still. I love that he's not being build up as such an obvious good man this season, which was just hard to buy last year. Great scenes between Lionel and Lex! Especially Lionel's attempts to comfort Lex, and Lex just not needing the love of his Dad any more, but joking about dry-cleaning. Oh I also liked Lex making a comment about how easily Lionel has buried the past (very smooth!) That seemed like an acknowledgemnt of the fan complaints about how Lionel is now being set up as a good guy, when he has such a sordid past. Lex sems as amused by it as we are *g*
Then the next scene with Lionel's smile as Lex plans to still use the results for Duncan (foreshadowing for Lex's future interaction with Clark as well maybe...). Lex's character development is just awesome this year, especially when compared to more emotional Lex in seasons 1-3. The Lionel/Lex scenes show how far Lex has fallen, and I am loving it
I would love to read any boarding school fic with Lex, Duncan, or Oliver...

If I wrote this show, Lex and Oliver would have had a real evenly matched fight. They'll roll on the floor together, shirts would get ripped
