Heh, I used to hate that in SV too - and I was a Lex fan. It's not that I didn't like Clark, but sexy does it for me just a little more than pretty. (It's like dS too - Fraser=pretty, RayK=sexy, so my affections are like 45%/55%).

This is truly the bestest fandom ever. And not just because most of the writers are so goddammed talented.
