On Smallvile [for Lana], it's date other people but reject them for 4
years, and then finally throw yourself and your virginity at a big
doofus who doesn't care at all about you. Every other boyfriend has
treated Lana well, but she wants Clark who treats her bad.
I could see the parallel to reality if Clark was a "Bad boy", but
there's no way Smallville Clark would be attractive to any girl. The
moping, self pity, wimpy, lying act would get old very quick with
women. I really liked it better in Season 1 when Clark was treated like
a geek and bullied by the football team. It made Clark a much more
sympathetic and likable character. A couple seasons later, Clark is the
stud football hero that everyone in town loves. Women throw themselves
at him, everyone becomes instant friends with him. Strangers send him
expensive TVs for free, etc. What's Clark's response? He spends all
day in that part crying about Lana (a girl he doesn't even want)and
feeling sorry for himself.
I agree with you, that this show has very little rewatch value. Heck,
after season 3, my local station stopped showing all the reruns (it's
still hit or miss, and they now moved Smallville from 11 pm to 11:30 to
accomodate "friends" reruns).
