Because he was trying to avoid his fate as the person who conquors Earth and rules over humans.
In other words, he wanted to feel that sleeping with Lex was his choice, and not the ship's.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked yesterday's Highlander. Methos and Kira should have a spinoff together. With lots of sex and leather.

Who the fuck was Lex marrying? We figured out that she's evil, but we were quite surprised to see a wedding at all.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I thought the doctor Jonathan spoke to at the hospital might have been meant to be the real Helen, and that was a fake Helen on the plane with Lex.
And I wonder if they were going for an odd sort of symmetry by having the truck flip over - the last time that happened, it was right before they found baby Clark.

Oh yeah, and Bo pissed me off. A lot. A lot a lot. You know, I leave the show alone for, what, most of a season, and you people let this happen? Bo's all "You're not my REAL kid, and I hate you anyway, this is all your fault!" and Clark blows up Smallville and Lex gets married and it's to a girl? The heck?

I was kindof wondering the same thing, the few times I flipped over to SV.

If you find out Clark's secret, you're shmuck bait. Plain and simple.

Wait - - there were two Helens? How did I miss that? Is the fake Helen an alien?

I just saw Bo's pissy, "Your actions have consequences, dumbass!" moment, and it did seem natural, because Clark had done something that had resulted in injury and death. Bo might have had the same reaction if Clark had been testing his x-ray vision during a hay-ride and fried a whole church group.
