It would be interesting - and explain a lot, to see Lex go bad because of some lie or omission of Clark's - maybe doesn't save someone when he could because it would blow his secret (which isn't that much of a secret at all). Clark would be responisble for the consequences of what he did/failed to do.
Which is I think back to one of the points you two made on Sunday, that Clark doesn't ever seem to experience the consequences of his lies, actions and inactions.
He's sixteen. He's been brought up all his life to lie. He has extraordinary abilities. It should be a disaster waiting to happen.
Here's hoping they use it intelligently, but I wonder if maybe we're possibly too used to a Joss-verse, where everything has consequences, sometimes years down the line -- does Smallville have anyone in the driving seat with the kind of vision and grip on continuity that Buffy and Angel have? It would be nice to think it does.

Or are you overestimating them?!
