Oh, man, I KNOW! What a friggin douche bag! scream

I hope Lana kicks him in the coin purse. But we all know she wont. She'll probably look at him like she's hiding something (again) and pretend everything is alright (again).

Lex = Weiner (I love to hate him)

Exactly, I mean it isn't like Lana would have married him because she was pregnant. That was made clear in Promise. I guess it shows Lex's level of deceit but come on, we already knew he was evil.

No it wasn't; the reason they had us fooled was because they themselves had no idea where this plot was going.

Why was Lex suprised to find out Lana was pregnant? Because the writers decided it'd be cool if Lana was pregnant and wanted to play with the Clexana dramarama llama. dramallama

Then they realised they'd started this arc and it had to have a conclusion, so they muddled through, and then decided it never happened and wrote it off as Lex trying to trick Lana into marrying him even though Static established that she loved him (and that he didn't know she was 'pregnant') and Promise established that her pregnancy had no effect on her decision to marry him.

I don't even know where to start on my list of grievances with the writers.

I just look at Smallville, and the premise is so fantastic, and the possibilities are endless, and I just think it could be so awesome and it's just not and it depresses me so much.

I also don't really blame the writers too much because they are really pressured by the public and producers fro more "angst", or whatever. I'd like to think they have good intentions and ideas (cause they've had plenty of amazing episodes), but the pressure to have a lot of drama, sex and intrigue is really intense. stare

Anything that comes out of it in terms of plot and character development probably could have been achieved through a different story arc, since I'm pretty much convinced it wasn't planned from the start.

That's why I'm annoyed at the writers. I know it's partly public pressure, but come on - what happened to staying true to your artistic vision?

I guess the only thing that the baby contibuted to was when Clark found out about it and refused Lana in Hydro saying,"everything's changed/diffrent now." But come on, they could have had other ways for Clark to feel like Lana would be better off with Lex.
