It terms of the show being more bearable week to week, it would probably be better off without Lana, than without Jonathan. So in that sense, I guess it sucks. But in terms of what's going to affect Clark's outlook on life in the longrun (to the purpose of him becoming Superman), having his father die seems more relevant. Now he has Jonathan's legacy as an upstanding man to live up to. If it were Lana, he'd focus more on his anger and vengeance.
I read too much into this show, I know.
