(OT note: Yes Mary Jane angered the hell outta me for leaving the poor groom at the alter. I honestly think that's one of the top ten worst things you could do to somebody.)
//This was the most I've liked Lana all season because she was smart and capable and an active agent in her own life. Proactive!Lana is one of the best incarnations of the character. //
It was nice that I actually enjoyed Lana for an episode. I wouldn't go as far as to say "liked", but at least I felt as if she was moving the plot along instead of halting it.
//At the same time, I wish she would just dump Lex because I honestly can't understand why she's marrying him. She cares about him, but she doesn't love him and it's clear that she doesn't trust him (I don't think she believed him at all at the end, but I think she's resigned herself to the fact that he's going to keep things from her). I suppose the money's an angle, but she really doesn't seem to care about that.//
That's why I can't get into the Lexana. Why is she even with him? And I don't buy the "she loves him" idea, either. We're talking about a girl who told the guy she is supposed to marry to his face that she also loves another guy. I wonder if she's just with Lex to get back at Clark and got in way over her head.
Furthermore, they've actually given her a storyline that's interesting but not dependent on her romantic feelings for either Lex or Clark. She wants to know Clark's mystery, yes, but that really is different from wanting to be with him. She can pursue that storyline without being tethered to Lex.
