I'm a few eps behind in watching (try just finished Onyx the other day, but don't mind spoilers), but I am seriously rethinking my interest in SV. I liked Season 1--it was fun, lighthearted even with the "I'm an alien! oh no!" angst thrown in. AND we had the trio of Clark, Chloe, and Pete. Then they started throwing the whole Clana thing at us. And then FINALLY Clark and Chloe started getting a bit closer--after all, if it wasn't about "Superman", or the future one anyhow, SV should have definitely gotten the two of them together (Chloe IS Lois, in essence, anyways--but that's another rant). But of course, they had to mess it up, doom us to a couple seasons of sickening on-and-off Clana, heaps of angsty indecisive ignorant BDA, and lots of mopey!Chloe. Pete kinda got sidelined, but then I didn't care for Pete THAT much (too shallow for me), so seeing him leave at the end of Season 3 wasn't too bad. And Season 4 was starting to look pretty good--Lana had someone ELSE at last to look at, and Clark and Chloe were getting closer, since she didn't actually die. The only bad part was having Erica Durance come on--because to me, she is NOT Lois. She drives me nuts--Chloe is a LOT more Lois-like, which is why I still love the Chlois theory, even if I know it won't happen (and keep my eyes peeled for Chlois fics). Her presence also decreased the Chlarkiness, pairing her and Clark WAY too early. And now they're having more Clana scenes, and Chloe is going to be gone next year???? Is Smallville still worth watching? I'm leaning much closer to the "no" answer.
P.S. About the Lexana--I've kinda liked that ship ever since discovering this site called The Talon. They had all sorts of predictions about Lexana. I think those would have come true, too, if it weren't for the strong anti-Lexana crowd. (WHY? Lex+Lana means Clark's free to be with Chloe, lol . . . works great for Chlarkers.) I still don't see how they'll pull off the canon Plana ship, if they even try . . .
LOL, this really turned into a rant. And kinda got off topic from the thread. Hope that's OK . . .
