I'll be honest. The KK/Lana bashing in fandom makes me uncomfortable. Believe me, I want to throw things OFTEN when I see the Clana crap go on and on and on and on, but at the end of the day, Lana is still part of the mythos and I feel like KK does the best she can with what she's been given.
TPTB should have never made her sole purpose be the damsel in distress/everyone's love interest. That can only go on for so long.
But there have been times I geniuely liked Lana. I liked Lana in S1 and S2 when she was trying to figure herself out. I liked her in S5 when she was trying to learn more about the meteors and aliens. I liked parts in S6 when she was trying to find the truth out about Clark. And I've been liking her struggles in S7. She still is not even close to being my fave character, but some of these moments made her interested or sympathetic and I wish the writers would have built on that more.
I even don't mind the Clana that much this season> it has this broken, finality to it. I see two people desperately clinging to some fantasy that doesn't exist, and both are just not ready to let it go.
That is sad, but real and I appreciate it. The characters should learn from it. (I hope!)
So yeah, I'll be sad to see her go or to see her just make limited appearances. But hopefully with the appearances she has left, they'll do the character justice.
