My only complaint is they are making Kryptonians into some sort of conquerers. Not even really a complaint... Just found it odd.
I do believe they have left this open. By leaving it open I mean that they have the possibility there that the symbols have just been misinterpreted. Reasons I say this:
Only three people have said anything about the nature/origin of the Kryptonians.
* Dr. Swan - he doesn't mention them as conquerers (or maybe he does and I forgot?) ... plus, I would imagine Swan would be more frieghtened then curious about Clark and therefore not wanting to meet him if Swan really believed Clark was there for conquering.
* Clark - but he hasn't seen the symbols before so he could just be misinterpretting them (and I think both his parents keep reminding him of this fact)
* coma guy (forgot his name). He doesn't actually say that clark was sent to take over the planet. Only that he is an alien and that out of fear for what the alien could do ("if he was here to conquer") that is why he must be stopped...
-- Of course, add the qualifier that I don't watch the show regularly enough and have missed more than a couple episodes (and even those I see, I don't get to see all of them sometimes) so I may have missed some specific references to his origins.
but, yeah, what you say is true, that is generally what they are trying to get the audience to believe. That all signs that have been understood so far show the Kryptonians to be a race of conquerers.
... ah well, maybe this season's finale will have some answers since Jor-El will apperently be speaking so origins and all will most likly be mentioned if not discussed at length.
(hey, I just brought this full-circle
