However else the Kents frustrate me, their devotion to Clark always moves me...
The thing about the secret identities...it is a problem, sharing your secret with too many keepers. But with a secret this potentially dangerous - and Clark is putting people in danger. "Mortal", when the freaks come after his family & Lana to get to him? Whether or not it was Lex's plan, it's still because of Clark, if not his fault. The only way to deal with it fairly is to only get close to people you can trust with the secret. I don't think Clark's obligated to tell everyone - but if there's someone close to him that he feels he can't trust, then there is an alternative: he should cut off ties with them. He shouldn't put them in danger. It's lonely but it's the only way that's fair...later he decides not to tell Lana to keep her safe, but really to keep her safe he needs to break off all relations...
...The problem with SV is that it makes one think realistically about comic book scenarios which really don't hold up well to the difficulties of real life!
