Do they really not get what makes fans hate Lana so much? That every time they return to the Clana, they make her into a selfish, spineless, cowardly little twit?

I think the network is just asking them to cater to Clana at this point

And apparently Clark says something about losing Lana being the worst day of his life. Yeah that's right, worse than the day his father DIED just last season.
