I refuse to believe Lana is gone forever... why? Well, obviously because she hasn't hooked up with Supes yet... and as far as I know, she was his first girlfriend... or maybe I'm messing it up and she was only his 'highschool sweetheart', and in that case, that's already been completed. But yes, the show can't go on with only Clark... it doesn't make sense. But yea, the season finale was ultra super lame. I miss the simple days when Smallville was just 'young superman' where he just kicked the crap out of crazy villains and stuff. Now it's Superman Meets Teen Drama, which is lame.
