Thread: Why bring Lex back in Season 8

If they were willing to get someone else to play Lex, if only just the face like in last season, then they might as well recast and bring him back properly for a few episodes. As long as they cast properly, they could really make it work.

Ok, first things first... That wasn't Lex in that van . That said, of course Lex would set that trap for Lana. She had spent close to the last 2 years trying to destroy him.

that he was able to walk (unless that was someone else's footprint) I always assumed that it was Clark since he was the one who hiked to a russian camp when he was powerless.

The footprint is Clark's, which is directly answered by Tess over the course of the season. It is never stated one way or another whether Lex can walk. However, I am sure (off my own guess) he can walk no problem and the Lex in the van was a clone. Steal a play off his ex-wife's rulebook.
