they should def bring him back. since the 9th or 10th will be the last, might as well go out with the good people that started!

i felt they destroyed the 'superman' part when lex 'died.' then jimmy dies??? i dont think so. clark beats doomsday?? i dont think so. lois needs clark and clark should be flying now. in the 1st season he dreamed of flying and did!

ok anyways, yeah, dude should come back

Of course Michael Rosenbaum should return to the show! The man has portrayed the best Lex Luthor by far! In both Looks AND personality! His character is far superior than even Kevin Spacey's or Gene Hackman's Luthor. Bar NONE. I really wish he would return. He helped make Smallville what it has become.

I was talking with a friend the other day about the episode Requiem, since it made it seem like Lex had died. But I have a different theory. We know Lex still had a number of resources before Tess pronounced him 'dead'. We also know he likes cloning technology. What's to say he didn't pull a Season Six Lana and fake his death. We know he was in a much larger space than a truck would give him. He was also continously watching things via a computer screen. What's to say he did not put a clone in there, and then was watching things as they went. Lex is not a moron, and this type of thing would free him to become the criminal mastermind we all know and love from the comics, cartoons, and movies.

They are actually down in ratings. So that is probably why they are floating this rumor.

If he did not come back at all this year, I cannot see why he would return next year. He was my favorite character in previous seasons.

The drop in rating is telling since the show that follows Smallville is up. That shows people are deliberatly skipping the show. The one before is usually the lead in.

Trailing NBC's Earl (6.42 mil)/rehashed Office combo, Smallville hit some "Turbulence," dropping 12 percent to 3.29 mil. Next week: Zatanna hits town, ...

This is your story? That the writers want him to come back??? Stop the presses!

I will never understand the hatred of Lana. Yea, the "Will they or won't they" got old after awhile. But Kristin Kreuk is one of the best actors on the show, and Kreuk and Welling have some of the best chemistry on the show.

The bottom line is, the show benefited greatly from her recent return, it certainly wasn't hurt by it.

Rosenbaum was a big asset for the show, and he definitely would be again. They're down to very few believable actors at this point--Allison Mack (and to some extent Justin Hartley and Sam Witwer) is pretty much it. The rest of the regulars act like they're auditioning for the high school play version of "Smallville".

I wont mind if Lex comes back and kills Lana

Season 9 will have new show runners as well.

What is this, Days of Our Lives? How many times must a character die on Smallville until they are actually dead?

Yes, I am aware that Lex Luthor never died at that age. He was alive to challenge Superman bla bla bla bla.

I've really liked this current season. But please, let dead characters rest in peace, especially after you've killed them more than once!
