I find myself agreeing a little with both sides here.

Smallville has always been a show that i never got the feeling from that the history mattered. Well unless it was the drippy teen love triangle blahness. I missed last weeks show so i dont know if they even mentioned the person who died again. Last season on Smallville a supposedly important character was killed off and they didnt even mention that person the next week! Although, to thier defense, they did mention the character the next week this time (episode 101), but im curious to see if they can remembered this person at least til 102. So, in this paragraphs conclusion, not knowing a character is going would be a shock and possibly strengthen the emotional toll of the story.

But it is true, not all tv is going to be as good as something Joss produces. Although id like to mention Veronica Mars and inside the genre of sci-fi and/or horror Battlestar Galactica and Supernatural. Not all shows can live up to the potential that they should and i really should realize that. Although letting go of such aspirations is probably the only reason im still watching Smallville. That and im somehow bonded with the character of Chloe. But it was a hard lesson i was forced into learning after Angel went off the air. All the deaths on Joss related things have made me sad the way they were supposed to. Other series have fallen flat on that (Smallvilles 100th by the way). But even the good ones can miss. I wasnt really effected by the death on Veronica Mars this season because i didnt know the cahracter all that well. But the difference is its still part of the ongoing storyline.

I wish all tv could be wonderful, but then again i guess if it were we would all be stuck inside watching television all day! ;D
