Now Lana turns souless murderers into sex slaves. The Smallville Universe revolves around Lana and that's always been the problem. It was supposed to be a show about Clark growing up but it's all about poor abandoned Lana. Lana has always been a self-centered, backstabbing witch just as she was in the comics and we should never have had to endure the horror of Clark wanting to sleep with this nasty girl, twice, the second time being especially offensive. Clark hates Lex because he lies, kidnaps and tortures people but when Lana does the very same thing he hugs her and tells her she's not that bad. And now, worse still, Lana accepts Bizarro as Clark and is so excited that "Clark" now wants to sleep with her again she beds Biz without a thought because after all, having a man who caters to and worships you, a guy who makes it all about Lana, is what she wants. Lana's BFs are all interchangeable; all that matters is that she gets to be the center of the universe. She doesn't care that "Clark" might be giving up his life, his land or his destiny and his ability to help people as no one else can. WHy the producers of this show ever thought if was a good idea to shove Lana down our throats for seven years and trash the hero as they do it is inexplicable. Smallville jumped the shark long ago in season five with the first awful Clana sex and with a few exceptions such as Vessel and Zod, has gottten worse and worse. And don't even get me started on the equally awful Not-at-all-like-Lois Lane. She's another ridiculous addition to the show we could have done without. Smallville has ruined what could have been a wonderful and memorable additon to the Superman legend and they should be thrown out of the Writer's Guild for doing it.

Clark hates Lex because he lies, kidnaps and tortures people but when Lana does the very same thing he hugs her and tells her she’s not that bad. And now, worse still, Lana accepts Bizarro as Clark and is so excited that “Clark” now wants to sleep with her again she beds Biz without a thought because after all, having a man who caters to and worships you, a guy who makes it all about Lana, is what she wants.

Nice job writers, making two iconic characters look like petty high schoolers. Shark still jumped, has been jumped ever since they made Lana the reason Clark and Lex dislike each other.

Not very Supermanly, in my opinion. Then they decide to "kill" Lana and bring her back, only to put them in a relationship again! 6 years of that crap wasn't enough, they had to beat the dead horse some more? The producers have killed this show by making Clark Kent a nutless wonder around Lana. Nice job, asshats. Smallville jumped the shark last season by having Clark pursue a married woman.

Clark's transformation into Superman doesn't have to be an overnight thing and it would be nice spending a few seasons seeing this transition take place. At some point, the show will have to make a nod to what we all know eventually happens. Now is the time to start and it would be a story I'd love to see play out.

I still watch it...but have no idea why. Maybe I just hope it will get better. Even Beverly Hills 90210 grew up when the kids left high school. This show has more teen-angst than when Clark was a teen. Lana, light or dark, annoys the hell out of me. A terrible character and a terrible actress...definitely not eye candy. But, I still watch the show...so I have noone to blame but myself. I felt that Smallville jumped the share awhile ago. I still watch it…but have no idea why. Maybe I just hope it will get better.
