Love your post. So much correct. TPTB still really don't like Superman/CK.
Full disclosure - huge Clois fan. They're the only reason I'm still watching TBH. {Not even TW could've kept me watching Clana one second more!} Not that I think this super rushed Clois is super great. But, I do like it alot.

I'm a Clark Kent fan, first , last, always. When I started watching a show about Clark Kent I was over the moon! Superman not really there yet?! Woo-Hoo! And then Lana happened. And happened. And happened. JFC. She ruined SV for me for nearly 7 whole seasons. There were many seasons I hated, and I only wanted to bitchslap CK. Lana had his balls and Chloe had his brain. It was torture for this CK fan. Then Lois came in. YAY! She will be his friend and ... wait, they barely interacted for THREE seasons. Sigh. IMO Clois should have started slooowly in Season... 6ish maybe. (I'm ragey about the Lana years so...) I think if Clois had really started all those years ago, things wouldn't feel so crowded. And the complaints that Clois is taking over, wouldn't be so loud. (Heh. Who am I kidding, this mental fandom...)

It would have made a striking contrast to the kind of love that Clark and Lois share, and could have been a heartbreaking reminder of the traumatic histories Oliver and Chloe both have been through on the show.
You could have made excellent Chlollie. Instead we have nails on a god damn chalk board.

Sorry to post so much about Clois but y'know -- S.10 RECAP -- Clois, check. There are some villains doing something bad, somewhere, or something. Sad Ollie is sad. Tess is completely MIA, or completely awesome. (Take your pick.) And OOC Badass (barf) Chloe is coming back to ruin the back half of an uneven final season. Eh. I've watched worse seasons.
In short, at least Lana's gone.

Thanks for your comment! Most of my favorite moments this season have been between Clark and Lois. Tom and Erica are so great together. I love your icon! That scene took my breath away. In the space of a heartbeat Clark took their relationship to a whole new level, and the heat in his gaze as he stared into Lois's eyes made me weak in the knees. Yowza!

Once Lois joined Smallville, I think they had one girl too many, and the problem was compounded by AlMiles' seemingly incessant need to simultaneously throw all three shipper groups a bone. At best they made it look like Clark didn't know his own heart, and ultimately I think it was a slap in the face to the lifelong love he was destined to share with Lois.

I couldn't believe it when they went back to the Clana well AGAIN in S7, and I still think Lana's return completely derailed S8. I think Clana should have broken up for good when Clark got his powers back in S5, and Lana should have left the show at the end of that season. S6 should have been all about Clark and Lex, without Lana being the catalyst for their growing discord. Still, as happy as I am that Lana is no longer part of the show, I would have liked to see KK return one more time in S10, to give Clark and Lana the ending they should have had, rather than the ridiculousness we were subjected to in Requiem.
