Helen Slater was terrible as Lara. Just terrible. Weak, ineffectual and apparently so dim she never knew she could toss Zor-El through a wall whenever she wanted to. Ugh.
I agree that HS was just terrible, but to be fair, part of that was obviously the writing, because you're right: she should have been allowed to toss Zor-El around rather than whining ineffectually. It was completely fucking annoying, and I hated it.
Not just how dangerous she is, but how sexy, too. I might have wibbled a little when he said that because (a) she's totally his type, so I've always found it odd that the show hasn't really played it up that Lex would, um, notice that about her, and (2) Lex/Lois exists in some versions of the uber-canon.
Yeah, it's really too bad that Lois already knows how shady Lex is, because that would be a kickass pairing. I'm not really up on the comics continuity, but they practically got married in Lois & Clark, as I recall.
