Mind Wipes or Convenient Unconciousness, How Many Times?

[Superfreak]

so, here's a question for a knowledgable SV fan:

1) How many times have characters had their minds conveniently wiped in order to undo everything that has happened in an episode.

how many times total. Lex has had a full mind wipe, what, atleast once a season. And Lana has had a couple as well. And others aswell.


and...

2) How many times have characters been conveniently knocked unconsious in order to hide clarks secret?

I mean Lana has nearly been knocked out every single episode so that Clark can save her without her finding out.

So, how many in SV total have there been?




If someone has a number, great... but recalling as many of the instances as possible is good too. I ask these questions because as I begin to think back over the course of the series... I'm realizing that both these events happen A LOT. Infact, IMO, they happen so often, that any writer connected to the show should be ashamed of their lack of creativity. That's just me.


Anyhow, can we try and list these convenient mind wipes, and convenient unconciousness's.

I think the more important question is how many times has Lex been shot & kidnapped

So what do you guys think should be done? Should Clark not use his powers in front of the main cast that doesn't know his secret? Or should Lex, Lois, or anyone else that doesn't know his secret find out about his powers? Or should they just continue to use mind wipes and people getting knocked out so Clark can do his thing without exposing himself? Because when you really think about it,it's really not that big of a deal that they use that as a cop out.

the mind wipes and concussions will give everyone except Clark permanent brain damage. He won't even need to hide his disguise because no one will be able to tell whose who

lana's only got seven concussions left

You forget the many car accidents their rates must be threw the roof!

I think one of the most used sets is the hospital room. Can any of these people even get insurance anymore? Each of the main characters should have a wing named after them with all the money they've given the hospital.
