A Case of the.... Smallville - Episode 7-18

While I really enjoyed last night’s episode of Smallville, it wasn’t without its quirks. As I’ve made it abundantly clear, I think this series has far outgrown the whole Clark/Lana thing, so I was really, really annoyed by the fact that he was willing to give up his EXISTENCE and, in turn, the well being of everybody he’s ever known, because of his super duper Lana love. I mean, c’mon, that was a little much. While it’s fair to say that in this particular instance Lana wouldn’t have been targeted, there were countless times throughout high school that she was at the receiving end of a meteor freak attack. And this episode wasn’t a clear cut “hey, imagine if Krypton — and in turn Clark — never existed.” It was a “imagine Krypton still blew up, but Clark wasn’t sent to his rescue” deal. That means all the meteor freaks and Brainiac still exist, Clark just isn’t there to save the day.
