Sorry for the lateness of this comment, but I have to agree with you on Lana's role in "Nemesis." Before seeing the episode, I just wanted her dead, however I could get it. Now, having seen her utter willingness to let Lex die, I want to see the bitch suffer before she buys it, preferably in some truly horrible and agonizing fashion.
Granted, if Lex was the one behind the fake-baby business, Lana has reason to be upset with him, but -- given all the times she's emotionally jerked him around with her 'I really love Clark far more than I love you, but if he doesn't want me, and you're properly worshipful, maybe for now I'll settle for you' -- I figure Lex manipulating her into marrying him by whatever means just makes them even. And let us not forget all the times Lex has risked his own life to save Lana's, while I recall her returning the favor only once (and ineffectively, at that).
On Clark's side, I am feeling more friendly toward him now that he's finally shown enough honesty to question his own role in Lex's recent actions. (I can still adore Clark in fanfic, but lately I've been really wanting to see him smacked around hard on screen, given all his ranting about Lex being evil incarnate, and all his hesitation over saving Lex's life.)
So, for me, the upshot of watching "Nemesis" is that I adore Lex even more than before, detest Clark somewhat less than before, and loathe everyone else more than ever before. And I'm still convinced that Lex is trying to save the world.
