Smallville: Ten things I loved about Fortune
I should probably warn you that this entry isn't as complimentary as the subject line might suggest, and any Chloe fans will definitely want to scroll on by.

I said the exact same thing in your journal! :D
What Lana's arc did do that I think distinguishes and elevates it from Chloe's final arc, is show a Lana who was inspired BY Clark, and they textually made that point very clear.
That's a good point. Lana said in Bride, "If we want to fight for the greater good, maybe we all have to be a little more like Clark." Chloe has spent the last two years rejecting Clark's way of doing things, and forging her own path, which she has mostly kept secret from him.
The thing that bothers me most about the exit arcs for both Lana and Chloe is that the show created these two wonderful characters, who, love them or hate them, were complex, passionate, altogether human women who played a critical role in Clark's development, and then TPTB basically threw all that away to reinvent them as larger-than-life heroes. Weren't they worthy of celebration without all the added bells and whistles?
I'm still disappointed that Clark and Lana weren't given the chance to stay in each other's lives as friends, and enjoy a relationship like the one Oliver and Lois share.
I would love to see anything you care to create! Your artwork is always beautiful, especially when Tom is the subject.
