Good lord! Yes, I can't really understand the depth of Lana hatred these days. I find it hard to read as anything other that prejudice built up over years of her indeed being a very annoying character. But she's far more coherent, sympathetic, layered and interesting than ever before!

And the argument that she should have been looking for Chloe is ridiculous. I think Lana's being all sorts of generous in remaining friends with Chloe to the degree she is, given Chloe's alliance to Clark and (at best) indifference to Lex. And I'm sorry, but in a riot, I'd be looking for my loved one too--who wouldn't?!

Grr.. This is why I avoid TWOP!
