I kind of liked Lana...

[AndiGirl]

I know, its insane. But this new and improved Lana...I can get on board with her. I know she's keeping some major secrets...and doing some sort of undercover work. But she has seemed to have lose the whiny, needy little girl complex she had season after season. She isnt throwing herself at Clark at all....infact she seems to be the one telling Clark its done and to let it go.

I expected her to say how much she loved him....instead she told the truth and said it was never going to work, and both of them were just too afraid to say it.

Not to mention her comment about Chloe. When Clark tells Lana he erased Chloes memory of his powers and Lana says "If that was me, I would never forgive you." That yes...it's hard to keep this secret, but in the long run it's making her a better person. And allowing her to be apart of something amazing. Which is why I'm so sad for Chloe...

Basically Lana hit on all of the areas I felt she needed to address. She let Clark know braking up was for the best...and someone needed to stick up for Chloe. Then with a broken or seriously injured leg she hobbled up the stairs to move the kryptonite for Clark. The old Lana would have either been unconscious or laid there forever.

Sorry folks...I didnt mind Lana at all. :)

[Chlois Supporter]

I'm chalking up the new and improved Lana to the same thing I chalk up all the goodness of this season too. The new Powers that Be. Gone are the days of the Gough/Miller run, and the Clana obsession. If this keeps up there's a good chance we'll get another season out of Smallville. The run they're having so far, I see no reason they can't stretch it out into one more year and make it believable.

[kris10]

I really dug her she was great and just like her to interrupt another kiss huh :)

[zorasuperman]

i also liked her too. def a significant improvement
cant say lois was happy and jumping for joy lol

You don't have to be sorry I loved her as well I agree with everything you said. I was a bit confused with what the writers wanted to show us really...first they have Chloe telling Clark that nothing will change between them, which was different than what she said a few episodes to him, and also what she said about a weight off her shoulders, that kinda made Clark think he was right about what he did...which I am still not sure if it was right or not, well and after that they have Lana saying that about not forgiving him if he would do that to her. I think I am as confused as he seemed lol about that. Now he is going to have to rethink his decision about this, maybe this is what the writers wanted after all. I loved this episode anyway

[davidbrenton]

I wish it was Clark that had the change of heart about Lana. I dislike that their making it her choice and hope that will turn around by the end of her arc.

[double L]

It was the same Lana. She is keeping secrets, and can not be in a scene without adding melodrama to it.

[AndiGirl]

I wish it was Clark that had the change of heart about Lana. I dislike that their making it her choice and hope that will turn around by the end of her arc.

I agree, I wanted clark to tell her off or something...but no such luck. :\
I did love him saying "Chloe is thrilled you are here...me...I could have used some warning"
That was incredibly blunt...for Clark atleast.

Maybe as the episodes move along he will let her know just how badly she hurt him, and if she thinks its ever going to happen again she has another thing coming.

She is keeping some huge secret...yes. So I'm not fully on board yet. But this was a refreshing Lana. I expected her to tell Clark she had made a mistake and bla bla bla. But she laid it all out there and said it was just better this way. Which we all know it is.

I honestly thought Clark was the one being dramatic about it. She seemed very calm about the entire thing. If anyone she be dramatic its clark though....I really expected more of a reaction out of him. But who knows...maybe not blowing up shows he has truly moved on and only wants whats best for her.

[SnowBird]

I did like Lana this episode but I'm not sure I believe her about wanting to break up with Clark. She saw Clark and Lois almost kiss and I'm thinking she is pulling away because of that. She does still have secrets and lying about what she said to Ollie when he found her. I don't know whether she can be trusted or not. Time will tell.

[SteveS]

I liked Lana tonight, except that they turned her beautiful mane into a mop. Other than that, she was strong and assured, yet showed her openess to Clarkman by telling him of her fantasizing their marriage in the barn. It is true that she is up to something, but the bond is still there between the two first-loves of Smallville. Doomsday comes in the barn and who does Clarkman rush to of everyone there? Lana, not lois. And when Clark is thrown through the barn, who though badly injured makes her way to him? Lana.

Glad to have her back to bring closure to their relationship.

Speaking of backs, I noticed that ClarkMan and myself were both admiring her excellent derriere. True love!

[pizzahead2490]

what is there to like about her?? the only thing i liked is when she said that lana and clark is not meant to be. other than that nothing. she ruined my clois kiss, she is keeping some kind of secrets that i think is bad for clark in the long run.

lana has not changed one bit

[Alexander III]

Me too! I like her new look, personally I tho her season 4 LOOK was the prettiest but I was wrong, her new look this season makes my heart melts, KK is DEAD GEORGOUS!!!

[OneShotClois]

Well.. I liked her more than Clark this episode.

She just needs to stop having the look of pain behind her eyes. She needs to be happy. I've seen Lana look so sad too much, it's annoying. But yes, she was alright this episode.. and it's pretty weird coming from a Cloiser like me.

[jqedward]

Did you see Lois' face whe she saw Lana? You could tell Lois was hurting and fearing that she will never get her chance with Clark now that Lana's back. I honestly don't think either Clark nor Lana want to try to get back together. Like Lana said "Maybe we were not meant to end up together" Maybe Clark would have a little more reservation letting go. Honestly I think his feelings for Lois will help him get over Lana. It's like saying I have met someone that I actually could have a future with.

[Welling21]

i liked lana in this episode...although i've always like lana, she has annoyed me at times, but i never hated her character, she's just more flawed them most people.
her interaction w/ clark was well played. her line was dead on "clark kent and lana lang are not meant to end up together", or something like that.

[zorasuperman]

i soo wanted clark to tell lana off, but i have seen clark kent's character. he is a true gentlement through and through. through the thick and thin. to all of his ex or anyone who has had feelings for him. i mean alicia tried to kill lana but he was still a gentlemen towards her. lana will be no excpetion.

[Liquid-Prince]

She's still essentially acting like the same Lana, except she's trying to stay away from Clark so he can save people without being distracted.

[AndiGirl]

what is there to like about her?? the only thing i liked is when she said that lana and clark is not meant to be. other than that nothing. she ruined my clois kiss, she is keeping some kind of secrets that i think is bad for clark in the long run.

Well in her defense I dont think she meant to ruin their kiss. Infact, I dont think she was even aware it was going on. She walks in...Clark notices a figure, Chloe runs and hugs her....then Lana meets eyes with Clark.

I honestly expected the old Lana Lang to walk in and tap Clark on the shoulder as he went in for the kiss. Now thats the old Lana I oh so adored....(please note the saracsm in that). :lol:

[NaYa]

You have to give her some credit. She ended things with Clark completely this time. Clark seemed disappointed though...I am sure if Lana would have said let's get back together he would have lol. And Of course Lana still has deep feelings for him as so does he but I liked the fact that they both now know they need to move on. I am sure there in the next episodes with Lana there are going to be some Clana moments where they see each other across the room and drool, but that's about it...well that's what I think. There was nothing romantic about Clana in this episode tonight though so calm down people. It was great to see KK/Lana...she kicked ass!

[SteveS]

NaYa, I agree. You could see the pain in ClarkMan's eyes and in his swallowing, he still loves Lana to one degree or another, but the character of Lana handled everything pretty well.

[FLyxNERD]

NaYa, I agree. You could see the pain in ClarkMan's eyes and in his swallowing, he still loves Lana to one degree or another, but the character of Lana handled everything pretty well.

she kicked ass tonight...and there was no romantic clana moments even tho clark wanted it

[Billy Jor-El]

KK totally rocked this ep, and yeah, LOVE the new look :)

I got that Lana could easily still walk away from Clark, but Clark will never do the same for her (as, uh, Lois undoubtedly picked up on). She's more than grown up, and after all, she was a Luthor, so her devious methods are well honed. "Did the Archer believe you?" Who was that text message from? The Ninja Princess is certainly more than a little interesting.

Mucho conflicts, as mentioned in other posts; whether it was right to wipe Chloe's knowledge of Clark, how Lana would feel if it was done to her, etc.

I kind of pegged that Chloe would be abducted by DD, but not to the Black Fortress, nor the pools in her eyes....great freaking ep!

January 15?????...eek, not even a "Lexmas" type break.

[davidbrenton]

I hated her the first time I watched it. The second time I watched it, I thought, "Okay this is Superman Lana--The Lana that supports him, protects his secret, but knows her place in his world-his past."

It's even clear that Lana saw Lois & Clark about to kiss. I think (Optimistically) she knows they're meant to be and is following that up with actions that support Clark.

That is great. If this continues, it will have, in essence, salvaged the character of Lana.

I know, I did a 180 degree turn. It took a second watching.

[Clana4Life]

Wow, Lana was great in this episode. And I enjoyed the Clana moments, even without the romance. Those two just have an awesome bond. I think the January 15th episode is supposed to draw them closer again and I believe her secret will come out and Clark won't be mad. As for the text, I don't know who it was from - maybe her doctor? After watching the Clois moments before Lana showed up, I wasn't exactly looking forward to Lana's reappearance, but when she did come, it was pretty great. She seemed to fit into the element. I'm looking forward to her next four episodes.

[faz]

I never thought I would say this, but I have to agree. Props to PS3 for making Lana LIKEABLE for once. She was the part of the episode I was least looking forward to, but they did a great job with her return.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

My money's on Tess, since Lana was supposedly in Cuba looking for Lex and the bald mannequin was conveniently placed in a sunny window so GA couldn't tell exactly who (or what) it was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I totally agree with you SteveS.

They should have just used her real hair. Her short cut without the extensions. That would have made her look different. A sexier different dress would have been nice, too. This episode has so many cliffhangers..I am definitely going to watch the next episode. I also loved the scene, where Oliver comes upstairs and sees Clark and Lana and tells them that its too late to help Chloe, because she was taken away. I would love to be sandwiched between TW and JH. YUMMY!! LOL!!!:D

[FLyxNERD]

u cant deny that TW and KK have awesome chemistry on the set

[SnowBird]

Lois was on the front porch with Ollie when Doomsday came which was good so she was safe. Clark ran to Lana because she was hurt. I wonder if Lana and Lois had both been in the barn, which one he would have run to.

[FLyxNERD]

I'd say Lana, because he's in "Lana-mode" right now. Once she is gone, he'll go back to slowly making his way toward "Lois-mode". He didn't know where Lois was; he didn't bother to look. All he saw was Lana. Even though several other people had been thrown, stabbed, etc., he ran straight to Lana. And even when Lana made her way up to the barn to close the box of kryptonite, he stands there just looking at her. He could have supersped back down stairs, but no, he just looks at Lana until Oliver comes up and says "it's too late."

[FlashInSV]

Okay, those of you how know me (through my posts) you understand I'm most definitely NOT a Lana fan.

I have to say I was irritated with Lana the moment she interrupted the CLOIS kiss. But technically, if you think about it, it was CHLOE the one who said "Oh, I can't believe it!" - or something along those lines - and then we see Lana coming out of the shadows. So, technically, she wasn't the one that interrupted them and had no one noticed her presence, she would have witnessed a CLOIS kiss.

Now, it is painfully hard for me to admit, but I liked Lana this time more than I expected. I spent days bashing her in the forum and now I'm taking some of those things back. I liked the mystery surroundnig her character, the cryptic text messages she received, even her Lana-Fu air-kick - I laughed out loud at that. And I liked the line "Maybe Lana and Clark were never meant to be"

I don't know if I can tolerate her for another 3 episodes, however....That remains to be seen

[NaYa]

Here we go again another argument...I mean "debate"...but this time Lois vs Lana :rolleyes: gee noticed the common denominator in all these "debates?" :rolleyes:

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

Boy have I missed Lana. When she left last season I was happy to see her go, but seeing her back, makes me realise how much I've missed her. Not to mention the hairstyle which I loved. Other people have been giving her a hard time, but I thought her acting was so classy, and her character is so strong, both physically and mentally. Her pressence in Bride overshadowed everybody but Clark. I want to see more, maybe with or not with Clark, but I want to see more. Great actor is KK, I had forgot how good for a while!!

[smvlladdict]

Me too! Thank goodness for DVRs you can fast forward through the first half of the episode and get straight to her scenes. This episode was all about Lois face time! UHH. Pullease!! Even Lois had more air time than Clark.

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

Haha, I know what you mean. A bit much. But there were a couple of Lana faces that had me like wooow!!

Plus her accent makes me all dreamy. Its strong and soft at the same time like a thick cream. A tape of her voice could put me to sleep at night!!:lol:

[cklookalike89]

Yeah it was great having her back on the show. She has always been one of my favorites and i definitley understand what you mean about her being dreamy!

[one]

It's great to have her back, but they better give her a better story.
if we find out that she's really working for lex, i'm going to be pissed.

[jimmyolsenblues]

the cliche' stands for me....
if i never see lana ever again,,,,it will be too soon.

[justme_007]

she is such an excellent actress.!!!!!! Producers, get her better and better arcs!!!!!!! =)

[Billy Jor-El]

While I have been fine not missing the classic Lana one bit, KK's performance as the re-introduced Lana was awesome...and I, for one, love the hairstyle. Love Lana? Tough to do when she's keeping more secrets and being more deceptive than a certain Kryptonian we know, but a Lana like this can add to the show, not detract from it...

[redeem147]

I've never been a Lana fan, but she seemed a little more grown up last night, and a little less annoyingly perfect. I'm dying to know who she was texting, and wondering if she's working for Lex. I don't think it was ever all over between them.

[melissan02]

Lana's line was brilliant last night! :D That's the best, smartest, truest thing she's ever said in all her time on the show...

"Lana and Clark just weren't meant to be together." hahahahaha!!:lol:;)

Truer words were never spoken!!! ;) THEY weren't meant to be!!

She has darker motives right now...something is up w/ her...be SURE of that!
Who WAS she texting???? :mad:
Um-um...still lying and keeping things to herself!! :rolleyes: Shame on you Lana!!

The good thing...just as I suspected...she's not interested in delving back into a relationship w/ Clark. She realized they are NOT meant to be. Lana's not going to give into such a thing this time around...I honestly think that. She might show interest and concern for Clark, but those two will PART on mutual terms when she leaves.
Makes me convinced that the kiss they share will be nothing more than a goodbye and MOVE ON kiss for those two!!!!!;)

Then Clark will have to do some major fixing of Lois' heart. She'll come back w/ a new attitude too. Clark had better be good at tearing down walls 'cause Lois will have some built up for protection. BUT, I think he'll go for it...he DOES HAVE strong feelings for Lois...it was made clear last night...those feelings just got a little cloudy when the BLACK CLOUD (Lana) showed up!!:mad:

[davidbrenton]

At the expense of Clark's.

But I essentially agree with everything you said.

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

Thanks for the SPOILER in your penultimate para!!

[Iluvgreen]

I've never like Lana. And I was impressed with her. She's definately keeping things to herself. I think she's working with Lex personally. Lana is being great about the whole Clark thing. "Clark there's nothing else you can do for me." that was great. She was trying to get him to go find Chloe. She was way better in this episode than I've ever seen her. Except that she thinks that she had to have guts to do what she did, breaking up with Clark through video. Meany!

[SnowBird]

That was good but I don't think an honest remark from Lana. She still loves Clark but is willing to let him go for the greater good. As far as Lois putting up a shield and making Clark do the mending, I'm not convinced. Hey, if you loved a guy and he looked like Clark, I think those walls are going to be tumbling down pretty fast with little effort from Clark. I could be wrong but I hope I'm right because it is hard to wait for those two to get together.

[bmwhype]

i like her "annoyingly perfect" character. i dont think i would watch much of smallville once kreuk's tenure ends.

[last man of krypton]

Lana's line was brilliant last night! :D That's the best, smartest, truest thing she's ever said in all her time on the show...

"Lana and Clark just weren't meant to be together." hahahahaha!!:lol:;)

I couldn't help but notice that everyone else started cheering and celebrating when she said that. :)

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

I totally agree with you, Lana is way smarter than we think!!

Lana had more love for Ck back in the day than Lois has ever had. Lana gave him up for the greater good of mankind and himself. Lois, as we know doesn't give him up, whether she holds him back or not its hard to say, but you cant say Clana doesn't work because Lana doesn't love him. Its their situation that doesn't work.

Sorry but Lana just isn't as selfish as Lois.

[melissan02]

I can tolerate her knowing that she'll be gone soon AND that the CLANA relationship is/will be dead and buried--MUTUALLY when she does leave.
It will be a parting of the ways with she and Clark, friendly, ;)but nonetheless a parting!!

[RawKrypton]

Now, even Lana has to announce Clois... At the rate this is going, soon Doomy is going to arrange a special candlelight dinner for those two :p What are they thinking anyway, the more you say it, the more the audience is gonna buy it or what:p Let's see, who is gonna be end up as the next salesman ;)

[harryandginnyfanatic]

She's definitely a clone.

[melissan02]

Well, accorging to legendary mythology, Lois isn't selfish either. And Clark doesn't, or won't, see it that way.
PLUS, as I recall, Lana wasn't SO QUICK at letting Clark "go for the greater good" at first. :rolleyes: Nope, at one point (last season or the one before that) she was willing to keep Clark stuck to her side. She hasn't been so giving initially!:rolleyes:
Plus, her motives are dark now...something is up w/ her...still lying and keeping information. :mad: Whether it's for Clark's good or not doesn't matter...Lana isn't completely driven out of her love for Clark or "the greater good"...it's something a tad more sinister IMO.

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

Well, accorging to legendary mythology, Lois isn't selfish either.

Who cares, not me anyway, about legendary mythology, when we are watching Smallville. I comment on what I see now, and don't believe differently because of what hasn't happened yet. If you were in Smallville you cant judge a character on other happenings, because Smallville is the present, and those are the future.

[AndiGirl]

Yes....no Lois vs. Lana arguing on here please. :)

I completely agree...Lana really didnt interrupt their kiss. Now...if she walked up and ripped their heads apart, then yes she did. But she just showed up and Chloe was excited, which was when Clark noticed Lana.

[justme_007]

well, yesterday it´s clear for all of us, that first love is unforgeatable... as soon as Clark saw Lana, he forgot completely about Lois.... when Doomsday start to crash the party, who was the person that Clark first started to think: where is Lana? (Lois, who is Lois?):rotfl:, when he was in the hospital, who was the first person he was looking for.... guess what... lana again :D

For those who think that Lana is past :cool: well, get wrong ... ;)

[RawKrypton]

Yes, Lana/KK was great, i'm guessing a whole lot more people liked/loved Lana this Season but are too afraid to voice it, in case they get bashed on this board or are so into this Clois/Clana fight that they won't admit it...

[tyson08]

I liked her MUCH better than the other seasons tonight!

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

I would love to see KK be confirmed for a full set of episodes for season 9. That would get some people angry alright.

[avisray1992]

I LOVED Lana's return last night! All of her scenes were excellent, and I loved the part when she told Clark that she'd never forgive him if he erased her memory of his secret like he did to Chloe (or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong). And when she saved Clark from the kryptonite to try to save Chloe, even though she was injured.

[theotherJane]

I hope they redeem this character after AlMiles' vast screw ups.

[biggkoz]

It felt like a little more complete having her back but its not big deal if shes leaves again.

I'm already angry with her 2 seconds back she can already trap and beat GA in a fight, and is likely working with the guy who forced her into marriage.

[BadaBingBadaBoomsday]

(pointing) Stone him.

What did I say!!

*stops and thinks*

I knew saying that about her hair was pushing it.

[Bizarrolover]

Surprisingly, I liked her too. It's nice to see that they have both outgrown their 'puppy love' and that they can be friends. I have never seen a young couple display so little passion as season 7 Clana.

[mark08201981]

Um.. he saw Lana get whacked by the falling beam and went to check on her. He stopped in and saw her at the hospital because she was hurt and she just saved his life from the kryptonite. Clark never got to get his own closure, Lana got hers.

[SteveS]

At this point, if it really came down to it. It would be Lois, no doubt.

Oh, easy one, Lana. It was Lana that ClarkMan ran to when she was hurt, it was a seriously injured Lana that make her way to aid ClarkMan. The lois character was with her champagne bottle where?

I also noticed yet again, how intelligent and mature Lana is, she is able to carry on a mature conversation with ClarkMan without immature quips or 3rd rate faux pas. Good on Lana.:o

Ok, well, I'm not going to say that I missed her. Because, honestly, I haven't. It's a whole other (new and improved) Smallville when she's not there. She brings angst, melodrama, and general depression into the show that I find to be off-putting.

HOWEVER, I didn't mind her last night. Surprisingly, I kind of enjoyed her part of the convo with Clark in the loft. (His side I hated.) She raised some good points. She had an interesting convo with Oliver and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out with the two of them... I liked that she told him that he's the Green Arrow that he's above killing.

KK definitely played Lana as a much more mature and adult Lana... however, she was still weighted down by the Clana angst that they always give Lana. She was heroic when she saved Clark from the Green K. She was also very strong when she told him to leave her at the hospital. (Again, she handled that better than Clark did.)

I think there were only a couple of things that annoyed me. I didn't like that she could use her Lana-Fu on the Green Arrow and his hood slipped off. I mean... c'mon. They gone out of the way to show Lois has military training and she wasn't able to get the better of the GA back in "Rage". There's no way that Lana should have been able to do that so easily. Also, does she have minions working for her? How did she track down Lex the same way that Ollie did? Ollie is capable of doing these things because he's A) a billionaire; B) A super-hero; and C) the head of the Justice League.

Lana is none of those things, but she's accomplishing the same things that Ollie is. In fact, she's doing it better, because Ollie needed Clark (Superman) to help him and Lana managed to do it WITHOUT Superman. So, really, she's actually superior to the head of the Justice League. They should fire Ollie and just hire Lana to be the head of the organization. Actually, since they've told us that she's got better hacking skills than Chloe, she should go ahead and replace Chloe as the Watchtower, too. That'll definitely address the whole, "Does Chloe remember the JL" problem.

Other than that bad flashback to AlMiles' days, I have to say that this Lana was improved in some ways. How Clark reacted to Lana is not her fault. The fact that she walked in on the Lois/Clark kiss is also not her fault. The fact that he came to see her at the hospital room and the scene between them broke Lois's heart is not Lana's fault.

I thought she handled herself well... I'm kind of interested (with some fear) in seeing how they handle her arc. I do think it's the "Lana redemption arc" and that she'll be a freaking martyr by the end of it all.

[justme_007]

I liked Lana tonight, except that they turned her beautiful mane into a mop. Other than that, she was strong and assured, yet showed her openess to Clarkman by telling him of her fantasizing their marriage in the barn. It is true that she is up to something, but the bond is still there between the two first-loves of Smallville. Doomsday comes in the barn and who does Clarkman rush to of everyone there? Lana, not lois. And when Clark is thrown through the barn, who though badly injured makes her way to him? Lana.

Glad to have her back to bring closure to their relationship.

Speaking of backs, I noticed that ClarkMan and myself were both admiring her excellent derriere. True love!

Yeah, i think these producers will give lana a good arc to play, she is such an excellent actress :cool: And, Clark´s first love, that´s unforgeteable..... =) i want the producers give them a good closure...! :rolleyes:

[Who]

I've always liked Lana. I liked the new Lana even more.

[eas]

Lois was on the front porch with Ollie when Doomsday came which was good so she was safe. Clark ran to Lana because she was hurt. I wonder if Lana and Lois had both been in the barn, which one he would have run to.

I would rather not wonder about that.... ;)

[haydenclaireheroes]

i got to say in the beginning of this series at least towards the middle we hated lana we could not stand that she was so lovey dovey. I was one of those people i like lois to be his true love which i still want because come on clark and lois the best couple ever. but anyway when lana left something was missing and i think i speak for everyone we missed her and the show was lacking but now that lana back and more clark friend then girlfriend the show got a step up and mabe even get its season 9. now the only thing they have to fix is for chloe to get her memory back. lana was so right and i think if chloe remembered she would say the same thing!

[redRound]

It's always been so difficult for me. I love Kristin, and I've wanted to like Lana, but I absolutely hated the way Al&Miles wrote her. This time around, I feel the character has been refreshed, she has been allowed to breathe. I loved her interaction with Ollie, and the Clana scenes were enjoyable!!! Which is shocking!!!

It'll be nice to see Lana and Clark as friends in the coming episodes.

[Clana4Life]

I never hated Lana. I was leery at her coming back though because the show still seemed good, perhaps even better with her gone (and Lex, too), so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, after seeing last night's episode, I'm glad she's back. I wish she'd stay. Lana seems very mature and I think she should be in the Justice League. I wish they'd give her some sort of power. I also think that Clark and Lana could work at this point. She's mature, he's following his calling. It makes me wonder why it wouldn't work at this point. Oh well...

[Deana]

I liked her this episode and I have no problem in admitting it. She kicked my Ollie. *giggles deviously*

I agree with your post! Although I haven't missed Lana one bit, I haven't minded her in this episode, and I think her coming back gives Clark an opportunity for closer, and as far as their relationship goes she has handled hersel much better than he has, he is still much too mopey and adolescant when it comes to that! As for Lana mad hero skills, that is deffinately over the top and unrealistic, so TPTB need to dial it down a notch if they wan't to makes us buy Lana's storyline this season! And with whom was she communicating? Batman?:confused::\:lol:

[hyped4lnc]

I enjoyed her more than I thought I would. She does seem more mature. She is definitely a woman on a mission. I wonder if she has a permanent home somewhere. I can't wait to see what all she has been up to lately.

We are the chorus and we agree.

[SparkleforSmallville]

I'm so happy, that Lana is finding her place in Clark's life.
She admires and respects him, they are both growing up
Good job PS3!

[Smallville6]

I actually have always liked the character of Lana, so I was glad to see her back :)
I was mad she ruined the Clois kiss, but I was already expecting it and you cant really blame Lana..

[doodie8808]

lana is the same coniving b***h she has always been only with a smile this time

[Marissa]

I didn't liked Lana for interrupting that kiss, but I think she was pretty great the rest of the episode. I really liked her!

[Clana4Life]

I didn't liked Lana for interrupting that kiss, but I think she was pretty great the rest of the episode. I really liked her!

Me, too. Maybe Kristen might come back again toward the end of the season. I wish she'd stay. I think it would be great if she become GA partner. The two could fight crime. Or Lana should join the police force and help fight crime.

[The Great Ymmij]

Besides Ollie, Lana's the only one out of the the cast that knows Clark's secret now. So if she didn't come back, Clark would still be in the barn lying next to the kryptonite withering away. Lana saved Clark's life!

[HeartChakraBabe]

Yeah, she was cool in this ep. I didn't mind seeing her at all. In fact, I liked her. Loved her new look and tougher attitude, and I'm very pleased with her for saying all the things to Clark that should have been said a long time ago. Because God knows Clark would never have had the guts!

[luvinChlark]

I was actually happy to see Lana. She seemed so much more maturer and really liked her new look too. Glad that at least she mentioned that taking away the memories of Clark's secret is wrong. Ollie disappointed me there..

Anyway can't wait to find out more of lana's storyline. Involves Lex, always interesting :)

[SuperJedi]

I know, its insane. But this new and improved Lana...I can get on board with her. I know she's keeping some major secrets...and doing some sort of undercover work. But she has seemed to have lose the whiny, needy little girl complex she had season after season. She isnt throwing herself at Clark at all....infact she seems to be the one telling Clark its done and to let it go.

I expected her to say how much she loved him....instead she told the truth and said it was never going to work, and both of them were just too afraid to say it.

Not to mention her comment about Chloe. When Clark tells Lana he erased Chloes memory of his powers and Lana says "If that was me, I would never forgive you." That yes...it's hard to keep this secret, but in the long run it's making her a better person. And allowing her to be apart of something amazing. Which is why I'm so sad for Chloe...

Basically Lana hit on all of the areas I felt she needed to address. She let Clark know braking up was for the best...and someone needed to stick up for Chloe. Then with a broken or seriously injured leg she hobbled up the stairs to move the kryptonite for Clark. The old Lana would have either been unconscious or laid there forever.

Sorry folks...I didnt mind Lana at all. :)


I totally don't get that much hate on her in the first place!

She has ALWAYS been alright with me, but some people TOO impatient to want Clark become Superman, or want Clark to get with Lois instead.

Just be patient, this is Smallville after all, NOT Superman!

Clark and Lana did have a relationship in the comics/myth, so I don't see what fans are whining about exploring that aspect?

It really has Nothing to do with Lana, or Kristin the actress, at all! The MAIN problem is really the Smallville writers don't want Clark to become Superman yet!

IF you have a problem, just tell the writers to make Clark more Superman, but Lana DON'T have to go away!!!

[Clana4Life]

Rock on Lana. Can't wait for more of Lana in the upcoming episodes. I really wish the writers could convince her to come back for more episodes this season. Things are really starting to get interesting with her and I think the "new Lana" would bring a whole different dynamic to the Clana relationship. It would be interesting.

[justincredible]

i'll admit that i hated always hated Lana with a passion but she wasn't too bad in bride. she stood up to clark, learned some lana-fu but she interupted the clois kiss!!!! and i'll never forgive now

[Theshadow129x]

i stopped liking lana in season 3 when she told Clark she didnt want to be around him anymore and turned her back on him at her welcome back party. Asylum i believe it was. I hated her since then. She was utilized to be a plot device and thats what sucked about her. Plus they reverted her back to the same old thing every year.

I actually liked Lana and liked how they brought her back. She's more mature and her and Clark actually talked about the issues and didnt hold anything back on what went wrong and what worked and what didnt. I thought that was very mature and i hope that continues in her next 4 episodes.

[Kid Collins]

Things are really starting to get interesting with her and I think the "new Lana" would bring a whole different dynamic to the Clana relationship. It would be interesting.

I think the only way Kristin would even think of coming back for future eps would hinge on how well PS3 writes Lana in the five episodes she's contracted for. If she's happy and they leave the future open for Lana to return then maybe she would consider it.

If I were a Clois, I would be glad that Lana interrupted the Clois kiss. Because it would be worst if Clark kissed Lois and then he dropped her when he saw Lana. From this ep, Clark is still very much in love with Lana. At least now Lois realizes that Clark still needs to get over his ex before he would ever be ready to start anything with her.

[Hopefulsuicide]

i was shocked how much i liked her... and i used to hate the girl with a passion. but after a Lana break, i guess her character got a little perspective and she came across really well...

the line was wonderful :)

[Hopefulsuicide]

Sorry folks...I didnt mind Lana at all. :)

agreed on all counts! i used to hate her, but this Lana surprised me. she was real, she was honest and she didn't hold back. and she's got an exciting new secret :p

[friday]

Um.. he saw Lana get whacked by the falling beam and went to check on her. He stopped in and saw her at the hospital because she was hurt and she just saved his life from the kryptonite. Clark never got to get his own closure, Lana got hers.

But there were other people getting hurt and he just stood there. It wasn't until Lana got hurt that Clark came out of his funk and ran to her. And Lana actually had to shoo him away when he visited her at the hospital so he could rescue Chloe. He didn't want to leave.

From what I got, Clark doesn't want closure. Lana says the word, he would take her back in a second.

[tarrow21]

Well, accorging to legendary mythology, Lois isn't selfish either. And Clark doesn't, or won't, see it that way.
PLUS, as I recall, Lana wasn't SO QUICK at letting Clark "go for the greater good" at first. :rolleyes: Nope, at one point (last season or the one before that) she was willing to keep Clark stuck to her side. She hasn't been so giving initially!:rolleyes:
Why in the world should Lana be THAT QUICK to let Clark go? She loves him to death after all. If she let him go that easily, there would be probably those here who say "See?? She doesn't love him that much."


Plus, her motives are dark now...something is up w/ her...still lying and keeping information. :mad: Whether it's for Clark's good or not doesn't matter...Lana isn't completely driven out of her love for Clark or "the greater good"...it's something a tad more sinister IMO.
yeah she's keeping something on the down low, but 'course it matters whether or not it's for Clark's good. If it's for Clark's good, it's obviously driven out of her love for him. I think some ppl feel a bit threatened that Lana's selfless.

[melissan02]

Okay...fine...so Lana's a saint because she's being selfless. :rolleyes:
Luckily, we only get to see her sainthood for four more episodes:rolleyes:...then she's outta here!!:p


It's the way it was meant to be...not Lana and Clark, BUT
Clark and Lois!:)

Yep, Clark needs his closure...and he got it in "Bride" when he said..."so that's it...it's over...it's that easy?" He knows....both Lana and Clark know....it wasn't meant to be!!

Enjoy the Lana you get for the next four.....I can enjoy those episodes more---- now that I know they won't be reconciling!!;)

[SteveS]

Who cares, not me anyway, about legendary mythology, when we are watching Smallville. I comment on what I see now, and don't believe differently because of what hasn't happened yet. If you were in Smallville you cant judge a character on other happenings, because Smallville is the present, and those are the future.

The purported 'legendary mythology' don't mean diddly-squat, what counts is what is shown on the screen in Smallville episodes. You have it right, 'Smallville is the present', all other claims are subjective and everything is subject to change.

[Clana4Life]

But there were other people getting hurt and he just stood there. It wasn't until Lana got hurt that Clark came out of his funk and ran to her. And Lana actually had to shoo him away when he visited her at the hospital so he could rescue Chloe. He didn't want to leave.

From what I got, Clark doesn't want closure. Lana says the word, he would take her back in a second.

ITA. That wasn't closure. That was just Lana giving her reasons for leaving. Clark didn't really get to talk about how he felt/feels about everything. I do believe if Lana said "Let's try again." Clark would say yes. But if I were him, I'd have to ask her to stop leaving. I like Lana, but she does leave a lot. I don't know that Clark could feel very secure in the relationship at this point, because she might up and leave if she thinks it helps Clark.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----


Why in the world should Lana be THAT QUICK to let Clark go? She loves him to death after all. If she let him go that easily, there would be probably those here who say "See?? She doesn't love him that much."

I don't understand how she can let him go now so easily. Clark wonders about that, too. But she has left him before. Something must be going on. I guess we'll have to wait and see what this secret is.

[xrayvision]

One thing that I noticed was how she said that everyone should be more like Clark. Yet, it still seems like she's using some underhanded techniques to get around. To me, it's obvious she's working with someone, and I'm pretty sure it's Lex. She seemed to have an expression of anxiety & was somewhat reluctant to answer the text message she got. That is a hint that whoever she's working with isn't someone she likes and that working with that person is troubling her. Time will prove if that person is Lex, Tess, or someone else.

[Clana4Life]

I don't think it's Lex because she hates him. I don't think it's Tess because of what the spoilers say about their interaction. I wonder if Lionel may be alive. Maybe it's someone we don't even know. "Archer" sounds like something Lionel would say. Would be interesting if it was Martha or Pete.

[smallvillerocks45]

Now that I think about it... she could be working with Reagan from Odyssey. The man just disappeared, and he called Green Arrow an Emerald Archer. I don't have a theory as to why she would be working with him, since Reagan is supposedly loyal to Lex, but it's just another theory. I don't know who else would care enough about tricking the "Archer." Unless, it's Oliver's pilot, AKA WiFi systems manager, she's working with... I can't wait to find out.

[minerva73]

what is there to like about her?? the only thing i liked is when she said that lana and clark is not meant to be. other than that nothing. she ruined my clois kiss, she is keeping some kind of secrets that i think is bad for clark in the long run.

lana has not changed one bit

Chloe Anne Sullivan ruined the Clois kiss. Not Lana Lang, but Chloe Sullivan. Chloe was the one who yelled "Oh my god" and everybody's head turned. Had Lana walked into the room like she intended on doing without Chloe screaming and ready to jump on Lana because she returned, Clark and Lois would've kissed, Lana would've probably seen it and said that she's glad that Clark is moving on, and Lois and Clark would probably try to apologize, but Lana would say that they doesn't need to because she's not hurt by it and she's happy about it.Chloe fetl that she was helping Clark by not telling him, but in the end it hurt her and him even more.

But INSTEAD, Chloe shouts, Lois and Clark pull away from each other (because Chloe yelled), and Clark gets that "oh crap" look on his face because Lana is there, and Lois is heartbroken and goes out to drink.

Concerning the secret, even if it is "bad" for Clark in the long run, her motives may be good, but the whole thing may just hurt Clark. So you can't really blame her for having good motives and just hurting Clark by accident by keeping it from him. Chloe has done the same thing by keeping quiet about her infection and look where it got Clark. He got a warning by Oliver about it and eventually had to remove her memories of the secret and gets scolded by his ex about it. Chloe thought that she was helping Clark by not telling him, but in the long run, both of them suffered.

[Hopefulsuicide]

I don't understand how she can let him go now so easily. Clark wonders about that, too. But she has left him before. Something must be going on. I guess we'll have to wait and see what this secret is.

When Clark made her happy it was the most wonderful feeling in the world. But it never lasted. Something always got in the way, and the relationship kept stopping and starting with so much heartache and pain in the middle. She took a chance on him in the first place and he kept changing his mind about what was best for her.

After 7 years of this dance that, to her, seemed like it would never end. It must have been so frustrating, feeling trapped in something that simply wasn't working, because she simply couldn't let go.

But she finally worked up the courage to fight every natural instinct she had, and leave. She didn't do it in the most corageous way, but she did it. And in breaking that routine, she in turn got a break, gained some perspective.

Having gotten out of the slump, she would never go back in. She fought hard to break free of the feelings that had kept repeating, and the situations that always lead to the same thing. She found that she was happier figuring her life out alone.

So yeah, i can see entirely why she is over him. I don't think it was quick or easy. I think it was probably one of the hardest things she ever had to do. But once it's done, it's done.

[Clana4Life]

Hopefulsuicide, your pic is nice. "Her memories taken without permission." You know Clark actually referred to the memory wipe as a "gift." He actually talked with Lana about how things might have been different between the two of them if he had given her Chloe's gift - "memory wipe."

[xrayvision]

What annoys me a little is how Chloe was never granted permission to know Clark's secret. Alicia went behind his back to do that. Even though it wasn't Chloe's fault, the knowledge of his secret was never given out with Clark's permission.

I have no doubt that Chloe knowing his secret made Clark stupid back in seasons 5-7. It was mainly the writers' fault, but it was also somewhat Clark's fault for becoming lazy by relying on Chloe too much when big things happened where he should have rather been going to Jor-El than her.

As good as Chloe's intentions were, she has/had no business getting as involved as she did with Kryptonian affairs. She got so wrapped up in them that she not only gained Brainiac's presence, but then even killed someone with those powers because her flawed judgment led her to believe she was doing the right thing. If Clark taking her memories away ended that problem (well, until Brainiac messes her up again), then it was a very positive thing he did. It was his way of taking responsibility for his own problems.

Some may say Clark had no business taking away memories of a secret she was never granted by him to have in the first place. I say that Chloe had no business killing in the name of Clark or his secret. If she would have continued her ways, she would have turned into another Edward Teague.

[Becc]

Okay...fine...so Lana's a saint because she's being selfless. :rolleyes:
Luckily, we only get to see her sainthood for four more episodes:rolleyes:...then she's outta here!!:p


It's the way it was meant to be...not Lana and Clark, BUT
Clark and Lois!:)

Yep, Clark needs his closure...and he got it in "Bride" when he said..."so that's it...it's over...it's that easy?" He knows....both Lana and Clark know....it wasn't meant to be!!

Enjoy the Lana you get for the next four.....I can enjoy those episodes more---- now that I know they won't be reconciling!!;)

I'm not a clana shipper and until this episode I didn't really even like Lana that much- but I've got to say I find your post to be rude and insulting. This seems to be a bit of a trend I've noticed the same several several clois shippers who pop in and add nothing constructive or worthwhile to the conversation except to say clois is endgame, the future ha ha ha etc etc etc. You're reiterating what people already know so what's the point of disrupting everyone elses civil conversation? As far as I'm concerned it's unlikely that Clark and Lois will get together before Clark's invention of his "superman"alter ego and once the show hits that point Smallville will be over.

[RedKRules]

I really liked Lana in this episode as well!! :)

Thank you very much!! ;) I mean this thread is about LANA !!! isn´t it??? back to the topic...

I really liked how Lana was more mature and down to earth ... I hope it continues!!

AS long as a hint of "secrets and lies" taints the atmosphere around Clana, the dynamics of the relationship will be basically the same.Even with the black garb,make up, and hair extensions,Lana STILL needs to mature some more and have open communication with Clark.
She needs to stop having all this secret agendas and come clean as to her feelings and expectations with him.In my POV ,until it happens, she is the same Perfect Pink Princess who needs to grow more under the new black wrapper.

PS:She STILL brings out the insecurity and angst in Clark.

why does she have to share anything with Clark anymore?

he's her ex, i hardly think she owes him all the information she has going on in her life. besides there are probably very good reasons why she isn't telling Clark whatever it is that's going on

Lana has moved on... if she started being all honest with Clark and saying she felt she had to tell him because she hated that he was never honest with her, it would feel like the hideous old Clana gone by

this Lana, who is perfectly comfortable living her own life that Clark needs know nothing about, didn't even feel the need to ask Clark what had been going on with him

she was there for Chloe, but she gave him what he wanted... the final 'yes, it's really over' that cements it. i think he sort of thought if they saw each other again she might feel all those feelings come rushing back... but she held onto her cool and didn't show the emotions that must have been brewing underneath the surface (as there always are with an ex that you loved as much as she loved Clark)

i had so much respect for her

I'm chalking up the new and improved Lana to the same thing I chalk up all the goodness of this season too. The new Powers that Be. Gone are the days of the Gough/Miller run, and the Clana obsession. If this keeps up there's a good chance we'll get another season out of Smallville. The run they're having so far, I see no reason they can't stretch it out into one more year and make it believable.

ITA with that, i believe PS3 has created a better portrayal of all characters included. I became a firm believer of this after 'Bloodline' and the way they portrayed Kara as opposed to last year:cool:

I liked Lana on Bride and I'm really interested to see what the text message was about. I know a lot of people have been surmising that she is working for Lex but I just don't see it. Anyway I'm looking forward and hopeful as to where her story goes in the next 4 eps.

This new Lana looks better, and I'm starting to like her more.

[Sunny8]

That was good but I don't think an honest remark from Lana. She still loves Clark but is willing to let him go for the greater good.

Is this true? Did Lana really let go of Clark for the greater good? If so why did she wait until she was Brainiac-ed before she made this decision? Maybe she is afraid to be with Clark because of the possible hazards that result to your person when you are by his side.

That being said. I have not liked the way Lana's character was written over the last few seasons but in Bride I liked her. I hope the writer's continue to do well by this character and make people like her again.

Just get rid of the extensions on her hair!!
It looks horrible onher!!

[Johnny_Luck]

Nah bangs look horrible on her the extensions actually make her too short hair look good. Her hair needs to be shoulder length at its shortest IMHO or done up.

[zorasuperman]

yes lana did look better this season
she was really thin in season 6 and 7. the meat on her bones def made her look pretty

[Clana Kent]

Somebody mentioned that Lana ruined the Clois-kiss. Actually, she didn't destroy it at all. If you look closely, you can see that Lana is standing in the dark, watching at Clois- but she doesn't do anything about it. She starts walking toward Clois as soon as Chloe starts screaming her name.

Btw, I love Lana's hair, it makes her look much older. I liked that. I think Lana will be great this season! Especially looking forward to Bulletproof and Power! :)

For all the Cloisers here: Lana hasn't made a move to get Clark back (on the contrary), so please give the girl a chance.
