Smallville Spoilers!

From BuddyTv:

Millar stated in no uncertain terms that Lana would be back, and would, for the first time, take a shot at an actual relation with the young man of steel. The exact circumstances were not divulged, but Millar definitely accented that the relationship is not going to be an easy venture at all.

“The relationship between Lana and Clark, that takes on a new level as they try and make it work. Can a superhero really have a girlfriend? Which is a classic superhero dilemma. They never had a real shot before. With a secret, how does a superhero's girlfriend cope.” The detail is a major chunk to digest when pondering everything else that will be going on in Season 7 of Smallville.

Side from this relationship, we know that Clark will now be taking charge of his teenage cousin from Krypton – who is actually older than him, go figure – and lets not forget that Michael Rosenbaum is not returning for Season 8 of Smallville, so his departure must be set up as well. Aside from the Lana revelations, Millar made reference to the return of a mysterious and deadly villain but only teased the identity. Besides discussing the series from a fanboy friendly

perspective, Millar was surprisingly open in addressing the short comings of Smallville.

Hearing Millar discuss the reality of not getting it right 100 percent of the time was worth the price of admission alone. The full interview can be found on the Voices From Krypton blog and podcast.
