This wonderful serie marked a before and an after in Superman universe. Lana Lang, who has been a minor character in Clark Kent/Superman life, became the great youth love of his.
Nods, the starting events of Reckoning should have remained, with Jonathan Kent dying at the End as it had taking place. Then have Clark and Lana work together against Lex and the series Finale be season 7 with Lana and Clark's wedding. Even though I understand the character arc of Lana as it exists in the show, honestly, the Lex relationship didn't need to take place after the Jason relationship. It was at times just a repeat of that scenario, even though the Lex is the one that drove her into her darkness. Each time she returns to Clark after trusting someone who played at being trustworthy, due to not trusting Clark and her own heart. I mean seriously, the CW Infinite Earth matter showed that Clark gave up his powers and returned to Smallville. Not to mention that Clark didn't choose Lois, he chose Lana first, and he was quit literally forced into his "destiny" relationship. As so many have stated, if you are going to have Blue Kryptonite exist on the show, and each character knew about this from the Bizzaro incident even, and the ring during the Lara/Zor El incident, then they could have been together even after Requiem.
