Hee, yeah Smallville gender politics... scary world! I hadn't really thought about the fact that Lana is becoming more domestic at the time that Martha is moving out of the domestic sphere. I wonder if that will continue in S6. I do hope there's not a terrible moment when Martha has to give up her political career because it's just too dangerous. *shudder*

So you don't think they'll Chlark it? I thought it might be a popular option at least briefly. Though I'm really baffled about where they can take Chloe's character, other than repeating the same old patterns.
