I just discovered Smallville on Hulu in January, and I have watched most of the episodes 3 times. I really have enjoyed the show, but there are certain things that are bothering me.
I understand why Clark has to lie, but he never seems to try to find ways to distract or redirect focus onto other things so that he wouldn't have to that much. Or he even share what info he can, without full disclosure. Sometimes, he just stands there looking dumb, and his character is not supposed to be dumb.
Which brings me to the fact that Clark Kent is supposed to be extremely intelligent, as shown in one of the early shows, when his parents are tallying up all their finances, and Clark just does the math in his head. We really don't see that side of him very much at all.
Also, the whole thing with Lana should have ended by senior year, so that he could discover how to be self reliant without a girlfriend. Yes, I know that the writers loved KK. Now, I have met couples that have done the on off thing for years, but it really served no purpose in the show.
I know that there are other things, but I am spacing them out now. 😜
