I'm just not sure the writers are actually going to make that tie-in, which is why I find it irksome.
Oh - I think they are aware of a lot of this - maybe not the Lana thing, but the issues surrounding the darkness of the Kents to the sexuality of Clark - I think they are purposely playing or at the least touching on some of this. BUT - remember that Clark, et al is totally owned by DC and DC is notorious about wanting to control the image of Clark and Superman. No way are they gonna permit a lot of this to be more than subtextual at best. At least not at this juncture in time. So I glean what I can and watch the show mainly in my imagination.
