“Smallville”: Lana=Robot

I wonder if the show’s producers were alluding to Jennifer Lopez when casting the movie star character Rachel Davenport. Larger than life, flashy, vain, secretly thrilled by paparazzi, etc. How nice of her to give Clark a present (of a red cape, no less. Why she gave him that specific item is beyond me, 
although I do “get” the future superhero allegory) for saving her life. Though the photo in this entry shows Clark and Lana in front of a barrel, that scene wasn’t in the episode. (The barrel is there to hide whatever the diminutive Kristen Kruek is standing on to make her look closer to Tom Welling’s 6-foot-4 height.)
Clark and Lana’s shocking platonic relationship continues. No smooches, hugs or even pecks on the cheek—even after psycho production assistant and fanboy Ben threw her off a building and CK saved her from being sidewalk splatter! Lana has turned into a robot whose passions for Clark are being surpressed by her mission to get back at Lex and Lionel. That’s no fun for us, who’ve waited patiently for them to FINALLY get his secret out in the open and start a REAL relationship. And BTW, Clark’s ultimate fear—that Lana’s knowing his secret would result in her being used as a pawn against him—came true with the building toss. Oops! Especially since Ben is still alive to rat him out.
Anyone else think about “Misery”—the feature film where Kathy Bates’ character holds James Caan’s hostage—with Marilyn holding Lionel in a crappy, desolate cabin? Our formally sweet little Lana is now out for revenge, and it ain’t getting pretty. I could almost feel Lionel’s physical pain—scraaaaaaape…..—when he removed that creepy metal contraption from his hand. My prescription: a huge jar of Bacitracin!
