I'm probably beating a dead horse here with my theory, but I was just thinking about how interesting it is that the writers chose the word "PARALYZES" for Lex's "cognitive recognition" or memories.
Doesn't it seem that the word "paralyzes" leaves it open to interpretation how much Lex will remember in the future? If they wanted to make it clear-cut that Lex loses all his memories and DOESN'T gain them back Tess would have said, "this serum makes you lose ALL your memories" or "gives you PERMANENT amnesia".
So again, clearly the writers realized we would all be wondering how much Lex remembers and would draw our own conclusions from that. This is another piece of evidence that points to the argument that the Lex Luthor we see 7 years later as president is basically the same Lex that we grew to love and hate during "Smallville", albeit probably without the concrete knowledge that Clark Kent=Superman.
Thoughts?
