My Ideal Superman and SV Casting Spoilers
Okay, so I did that Ideal Superman quiz and I got Dean Cain. Interesting. I'd post it, but my computer crashed and I'm too lazy to redo it right now LOL
Also, I'm sure you've all heard but...
Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kreuk will not be back as series regulars.
*cries*
I love Lex. I love him to pieces. I am very sad about this. MR is my fave Lex out of all the Lex Luthors I have watched. For me, SV was all about Clark and Lex and the choices they made. It was a parallel journey. But, both he and KK are looking to negotiate some limited appearances so they'll still be around in some capacity. But I'll still miss him.
I'm sad for KK, but I admit she was my least favorite character. It's not that I hate Lana. I didn't like how prolonged Clana was and I also felt the writers had nothing to give her. As an actress, she must have been frustrated that her character really didn't have much to do. They certainly tried several times, and I appreciated the Small arc in S2. I *like* Lana this season. So it will be sad to see her not as a regular, but at the same time, I hope this gives the writers a chance to write Clark unattached and moving on in his life. Just please don't make her a martyr, PTB.
I assume that everyone else will be back.
We'll see what happens. If handled right, S8 could be pretty good. Maybe Clana can be put behind us, Clark can focus on journalism and his destiny, and we can see more with Lois, Chloe, and Jimmy.

no subject
I believe it's been confirmed that she's looking to be in at least part of S8. That makes me feel a little better. I'm tired of Clana like you would not believe, but she is a huge part of Clark's youth and his time in SV. As much as I complain about Clana, I don't think it's fair to dismiss her so easily. She's his first love.
The problem with Lana isn't the actress or the character, but how she has been written. She's basically the damsel in distress. Unfortunately, a lot of what made Lana LANA in the comics was stripped away from her.
Some incarnations of Lana had Lana very much like Chloe - close friend, spunky, inquisitive. But other versions have had her as the cheerleader, sweet girl-next door. Both versions are fine and I have no problem that they did the later. Only, they should have fleshed her out more instead of just making her the girl everyone wants and the damsel in distress.
I've actually been liking Clana this season. it's falwed and faulty and you know it's not working. The relationship just ins't meant to be, but neither one wants to recognize it yet.
Losing MR is a bigger loss for me since this show has been established on the two of them. The entire foundation of the early seasons were on Clark and Lex. I really hope that he does agree to some limited engagements like has been reported.
