LOL! Again with the "you watch Smallville, so I don't have to". This is fun! ^^
... seriously, based on everything you've written of the last couple seasons, I'm glad I stopped watching, because it sounds like everything I was afraid of the first season has come to pass. Sort of like the third Star Wars prequel movie (which I still haven't seen, for basically this reason) -- "friendshipper" that I am, I *hate* seeing fictional friendships crack and fall apart, seeing characters fall without being redeemeed, isolated without recovery. I know SV is pretty much AU with regards to the comics, but in order to follow the overall Superman/Lex Luthor dynamic at all, it would basically have to do that. Watching people fall into darkness and then come back into light is fun for me, but when the whole story is about falling into darkness one slow episode at a time, with little hope of ever seeing the light again, that's like Chinese water torture for me.
