Yes, Clark was SO young when that happened with Lex and on rewatch his confusion and angst comes through so much--he was looking to everyone else including his parents for direction back then and was kind of like a little boy lost in the woods.
Now it's different--he's a grown up man who makes his own decisions. And he's seen the consequences of things like people learning his secret over years and years.
It wouldn't surpirse me if Brainiac targeted the Justice League. Oh, same! It wouldn't surprise me at all. He's so insidious, he'll go after anyone and for all we know he remembers stuff about them from being in Chloe's brain. EEEEEK!
I'm so glad the 'Father' moment worked for you too! It's been such a tough relationship but I always felt it had potential to be constructive, but I did wonder for a while if the show would ever go there. I love the writing of those scenes in this episode and it was just wonderful to think that Clark has reached a place where despite feeling betrayed by some of the Fortress/AI's actions, he will acknowledge the support and help that he does receive.
