You can't wait for Clark and Lana to hook up, even though you already know their relationship will fail. You want to see the changing dynamics of Clark and Lex's friendship, even though you already know they will become bitter enemies. It's kind of like a classical Greek tragedy, only with less eye-stabbing and more football coaches who can toss fire from their hands.

Oh, and I think Smallville High is rapidly catching up with Sunnydale high in the fight for the highest student mortality rate. ^_~

True, they may be catching up, but remember: Sunnydale has at -least- four seasons on Smallville. And that's only counting what happened AFTER Buffy got there. ^_~ I think they'll be able to hold their own.
