*pets* I didn't really like Calling either. Lionel and Lex are great, and I want to be interested in this whole "Clark fights his destiny as evil Kryptonian warlord" thing, but the CLana plus the butchering of Chloe's character sucks so much it's getting hard to focus on the good points.

Yes! Yes! If you want me to buy something, sell it on it's own merits. Don't detract from one thing just to sell the other. It won't fucking work, plus that's just jacked up.
