If we take into account the two personae shown to us in "Onyx", the evil, ruthless Lex is the one coming to the surface now. Whatever regret he does feel would be consciously shoved down with the part of Lex who originally felt it keenly. *nods* I've felt the evil, ruthless Lex had the upperhand where Lex was concerned for some time now. To be honest, I think Onyx was a real signal that 'Alexander' was going to dominate from then on. But I think the show supports several potential readings of Lex and the degree to which each half influences him at this point in time--and that mystery works really well to keep us intrigued.
Do you think Chloe's on to him? *g* Def'ly! ;-) She's a smart girl.
