[quote=@Retired] Lois' characterization in Smallville was awkward at times, and they leaned too far towards the abrasive angle that it went past the classic spit-fire, inquisitive woman and was just annoying. She had her moments, sure, and the teasing could be fun at times, but her character in that show was always the lesser of the two. Lana, meanwhile, despite early on being the cliche damsel in distress, quickly developed into a more unique and fleshed out character. And even though they fucked that up for a season with the whole Lex thing, that just made me more sympathetic to what could have been done better had they not gone down that route. And in her final season's appearance, she was much more interesting and compelling than Lois. And had they not been committed to the Lois angle by that point, would have made a better happy ending for Clark, in my opinion. They made it very clear at the end there that she was the real love of Clark's heart. Also, Erica Durance isn't that great an actress. [/quote] "Hello, Tombstones Incorporated?
