Though (since I've seen this complaint in a lot of reviews), there are three leads on this show, not just one--and he got more screentime than Lex did in a lot of season 4 eps. And basically I prefer Clark to have less screentime doing more advance-toward-Superman type things, rather than more screentime when he's not. And it's possible I should have directed this mini-rant at other people, not you, sorry!
Oh, no, don't worry! I'm so pleased with the storyline and character work for Clark this season that I'm not counting screentime minutes at all. It was just weird this week because I missed the narrative set-up for Clark being out of town... and tuning in at the 15-minute mark meant that I didn't see him until about the 40-minute mark, which was just... like he'd suddenly dropped out of existence. Which wouldn't have been the case if I'd watched from the beginning. It wasn't until the last scene that I found out he was in Seattle.
