What bugs the bejeesus out of me with regard to Lana isn't that they make her a perfect icon - its that they insist on shoehorning her into the plot whether she belongs there or not and then making her the focus of Smallville - and if that means pushing Lex Luthor and Clark Kent off to the point where they are almost minor characters, so be it. We haven't been calling it "Lanaville" for no reason, and it is bloody annoying. It's as though I tune into watch a series called "House" and find it is all about this doctor named Cameron...
