That's a "sloppy writing" thing. ;) I know what you're saying, and seeing years upon years of it in television as I've grown up has made it real familiar, but I prefer my favorite shows to stay as cliche/chestnut free as possible. So I sincerely hope they don't go that route.
Amnesia? She'd be lucky to have any skin. Seriously, as violent as that explosion was, and considering how fast it went after she set foot in the place, I'd consider any writing that lets her survive that to be sloppy. Not that "Kal-El's Creek" hasn't had it's share of sloppy writing from time...
That's a pretty interesting quote, isn't it? It kind of insinuates that they'd been thinking about killing her off anyway. I just don't see why it's an impossibility that she's dead. I mean, if you're not going to give ANY weight to the creators and writers, what's the point of even paying...
