Was Lois gonna talk to Lana?

[skizzo]

At first I thought she was at the hospital with Jimmy. But then we actually see her coming towards the room where Lana was and almost coming in until she sees Clark. I think she knew she was there and was gonna talk to her. Anyone agree?

[Sunny8]

I don't know. Maybe she was going to talk to Lana. Maybe she was going to find out how Lana feels about Clark and whether she was going to try to get back together with him. With this information from Lana she could see whether she needed to move on or wait to see if Clark would return her feelings.

[Bizarrolover]

I think she was passing in front of the door and saw them together. Maybe she was looking for Clark, to tell him the news about Jimmy and that she was leaving with him.

[alejandrita439]

yep, maybe he was looking for clark.. to tell him about jimmy :o

[dunkman]

She was there because that's where the writers put her at that spot on the episode.

[zorasuperman]

i thought that too for a split second but then i was like lois has all these feelings for clark can you say "awkard factor 8" in chloe's own words. i think the uncomfortable silence would have gotten to lois.

[pizzahead2490]

i think she was walking pass the door when she stop abruptly when she notice lana and clark. i doubt lois wanted to speak with lana.

[SacredK]

IMO, if she was going to talk to Lana, it def wasn't about Clark. It was about the disaster that just occurred.

[Iluvgreen]

It's a possibility. One I hope was true for some weird reasons. But I don't think so. Because if Lois was going to talk to Lana, they would've had the conversation. I think she was looking for Clark.

[Isabel14]

I don't think she was going to talk to Lana. I think she was passing there by chance and saw them. But it might be a chance that she wanted to talk to Clark.

[darkone]

Well if she wasn't going to talk to Lana then why the heck was she there? If Clark was her reason she could've easily called him. Probably just a plot device to create angst in the triangle.

[OneShotClois]

I agree.

[supes0]

exactly..

She had to see him with Lana, so she'll think they're getting back together.

[Clois4eva89]

I hope we get a scene this season where Lois gives lana the third degree.She dumped Clark via video and suddenly she shows up again in Smallville.When she told Clark he didn't want her to look for him,seems rather hypocritical of lana to come back.When she was the one who wanted to leave Smallville behind.

[Deana]

I am not surprised if she were going to talk to Lana. I thought that they were friends at the very least. I kind of liked their relationship Season 4-5.

[Jade4813]

Meh. She was probably there to check on Lana. After all, while she and Lana couldn't be said to be the best of friends (they've rarely been seen together in Smallville), they have been on friendly terms. It would make sense for her to check on Lana's wellbeing.

Lana wasn't all jumping for joy to go back. Oliver convinced her and while there was a certain ambiguity about her motives, she made it clear that she didn't came back to immediately get back together with Clark even though he seemed to be very much willing to do so. :p

If that is friendship then Lana doesn't need enemies anymore. Her dumb comments about her or the Clana is not something that I call friendly. And no the argument that this is how ICONIC!Lois acts is NOT an excuse to me.

Personally, I hope Lois doesn't do such a thing. If Clark's upset about what Lana did - and I could see him being so - then it's his place to ask her WTF. Not Lois's. Clark's a big boy; he doesn't need Lois to take his hand and tell him how to deal with his relationships. And while I would understand if she didn't like what Lana did, I also am sure she's aware that there are two sides to every story and she doesn't even know one of them.

I know some people want Lois to take Lana to task for what she did, but I don't think that's necessary. If someone's going to confront Lana about leaving a videotape goodbye, it should be Clark...and I doubt they'll really go this route anyway. They only have five episodes and they've never had a good track record of having Lana face up to her bad behavior towards others in the past. I can't imagine they'd spend much time bringing the entire thing up, at least not to the extent of showing how much it hurt Clark. It might make Lana look bad to remind people that Clark cried. *shrugs* I'm sure they'll redeem the entire incident, have Clark and Lana confront their relationship problems without either party acting the injured innocent (which would show a nice maturity for both of them), and then have a nice goodbye before Lana leaves again.

I think they're probably going to do what they can to repair Lana as a character and the Clark/Lana friendship, to put it back on track with what it's supposed to be in the comics. I've read a couple of posts from others suggesting that this is probably why they took away Chloe's memories of Clark's secret. In the comics, Lana is the high school friend/ex-sweetheart who's Clark's confidante, who's in on his secret. By removing Chloe's secret-knowing, it gives Lana the chance to step up and take that role. It was even pointed out in "Bride" that, with Chloe ignorant of Clark's secret, Lana had the chance to step forward and be the hero, rescuing Clark from the Kryptonite.

I expect this will continue. In the end, it will be clear that Lana will have taken as much of her mythos-based role as they can manage in five episodes. She'll be Clark's high school friend/ex-sweetheart, Clark's confidante, and the only person from that period of his life outside of his family who will be in on his secret. It will be clear that the two of them remain friends in the future, so that she maintains this role. As such, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they never give Chloe her memories back, at least not for keeps. She can't and have Lana really step fully into the role she's supposed to have; she would then be relegated only to Clark's ex-girlfriend. Not to say she couldn't be a confidante as well, but it would still make more sense for Clark to go to Chloe, since he has (for this, at least) for quite a bit longer.

Anyway, that's my prediction. And, personally...I'm fine with there not being a huge confrontation between Lana/Clark, Lana/Lois, Lana/Chloe...or Lana/anybody really. After seven years of having angst in 99.9% of her scenes (or so it feels), I'm sure it would be nice for KK to get to play a Lana who's grown up a little, who's put her angst behind her. Yes, she and Clark need to talk through some things, but there's no reason why the two of them can't have put their angst behind them. An adult conversation without recriminations and tears...that's what I'm hoping for. And, who knows? Maybe I'll get it. :)

Yeah, I could see how saying Clark and Lana were "meant to be" was terrible. And her telling Clark to move on after he'd gotten his heart broken via videotape? Terrible. *snort* Whatever. I don't need Lois to point out that Clana is a trainwreck; I've seen as much for seven years. And I certainly don't need Lois to throw Lana's hypocrisy in her face. Again, I've seen it for seven years. Personally, I'm glad they won't have a scene like that, because I think Lois is above it.

Anyway, we only have four episodes left for them to try to fix Lana - and Lana and Clark's relationship - so I'm looking forward to what they do.

Back on topic, I do think Lois was probably coming by to see Lana, though she could have intended to also tell Clark what she had planned when she saw him. When she saw the two of them together, though, she didn't want to interrupt. I do hope that this is the last scene KK has to play in a hospital. :lol: Alas, I fear Chloe has some hospitalization in her near future, so they'll have plenty of use for the set. ;)

[eas]

^ I agree.

Even if Lois and Clark were full-on dating (hell, even MARRIED) it still isn't Lois's business what happened between him and Lana.

[Clois4eva89]

You make some good points Jade but it's implied that in episode Requiem that lana dies since it's her last episode,because in the prior episode power,lana is going through experiments at Luthor Corp to keep herself alive. And in Infamous it appears that Chloe has her memories back of Clark's secret.

What dumb comments has Lois made about Lana or Clana? Lois has been nothing but respectful towards Lana AND Clana. Sure, every once in awhile, she got annoyed that Clark was going down the angst path again, but it was pretty clear that they hung out a lot and he spent a good portion of that time talking about Lana. I'd totally say that to a friend, too, and - in fact - have upon occasions.

She called Lana "sweet vanilla" when describing her... she also felt really bad for Clark back in "Apocolypse" when he was trying to find a cure for Lana. I've never seen Lois being anything but friendly to Lana both in front of her and behind her back. And, to be honest, I think it's the same for Lana. I've never seen Lana be anything but friendly and respectful to Lois, either.

In fact, it's one of the things that SV has handled right -- they haven't had Lois and Lana be all rude to each other.

She was walking past Lana's room while looking for someone. And, then, she sees Clark in Lana's room, stops, and steps back. It was pretty clear that she was planning on walking past the room and the scene she saw when she glanced that way made her stop.

Lana has "died" in pretty much every season finale (or left town), so I think we can be rest assured that she is not going to die in "SV".

She's a canon character who has a pretty important role in Superman canon... at least to the point that folks recognize who she is and she gets her own arcs. (Insect Queen comes to mind.) She was also a character in the Superman animated series (a good one, too) and she was the Superman movie, as well as "LnC".

In short, I think that there is no chance that they're killing her off.

Personally, I think that episode has a memorial service for Lex Luthor & finishes the Lex arc. I think that Lana will be there to end the arc on behalf of Lex, because she was integrally tied to that arc.

I'm not so sure about that. I do remember that ages ago, it was said Lana was unable to be killed off. If that's changed, I haven't heard it. Also, I really just doubt they'll do that. Instead, they'll probably find a way to heal her in some symbolic "washing her of the taint of Smallville" fashion. Taking away her health issues from experimentation, they take away the stain of Luthordom on her. If they make her die from it, then Lana was eventually destroyed by Luthors, and I don't know that they'd want to do that. Plus, if they kill Lana off, there's no chance in ever having her back for some momentous event in the future (say the series finale). I know she probably doesn't WANT to come back, but I wouldn't be surprised if they left the door open, just in case. I think in the series finale, they'd want to have the option to include her, to show where both characters ended up since the show began by focusing on the two of them.

Also, as far as Chloe in Infamous goes...Craig said it could happen in his spoiler, but just reading the spoiler itself, it doesn't sound like it's necessarily so. After all, reporters would be demanding what it was like to have an alien best friend with or without her having known he WAS an alien the entire time she was friends with him. Also, it seems highly probable that "Infamous" is an AU, in which case, even if Chloe gets her memories back in that episode, it could juts be AU!Chloe who does, not RW!Chloe. Plus, the entire events of "Infamous" will probably be wiped from everyone's memories save Clark's in the end, so she could lose it.

Finally, I can't get past the idea that they did this for a reason. Not necessarily a reason everyone loves, but a reason. They had to know, I'm sure, that it would piss a segment of fans off. I doubt they did this without recognizing that this was going to be an issue, so they undoubtedly did it because they felt it was necessary to accomplish whatever purpose they have. And I frankly cannot think of a purpose that will have been accomplished between now and then. We shall see.

I hadn't thought of that! That's an interesting idea!

i'd have to disagree with you eas lana doesn't serve any great purpose in the comics.As well on the show,and has already served that after Season 4. Lana Lang is only remembered by Superman fans as Clark Kent's high school crush,the girl that got away so to speak.Heck Smallville damaged the comics by having Lana divorce Pete Ross. I think they will go though with having lana die for real on Smallville.As a way for Clark to perminantly move on from lana,so Lois wouldn't question weather Clark is really over lana.Besides in the comics lana is rarely in Clark's life after he's become Superman. And as said in the Legion trailer 'lana you one of the reasons Clark becomes the hero'. This could imply lana's death pushes Clark forward as a hero.By making him accept that he can't save everyone.Or that her death helps get rid of what is holding him back from becoming Superman.It's been stated before that lana has been the center reason why Clark,has not moved on from Smallville in the past.The only time when Clark decided to leave,was when he thought lana was dead,but she was turned out to be alive.He didn't leave Smallville behind.

[bychance]

I doubt it. She looked kind of uncomfortable.

[ColdPlay3r]

maybe she saw clark walk in the room and chased him to tell him she made her mind up bout leavin wit jimmy, maybe

We're going to have to agree to disagree then. I see Canon Lana as being an important part of Canon Clark's life in Smallville and his youth. It's been stated, again and again, that a huge part of what made Clark Superman is his upbringing in Smallville and the life he led prior to that decision. Canon Lana has always been Clark's first love and I think that counts for something. Lois may be THE love of his life, but he has a very special relationship with Lana Lang and Lori Lemaris prior to realizing that Lois was The One.

And, I think that Clark has definitely moved on from Smallville after she left him the DVD. He didn't look for her, he didn't wallow and he's pretty awesome in S8. From the spoilers we gotten, he continues to be this way in "Legion", as well as "Bulletproof"... so it's not like suddenly dons an apron and decides to hang out the Kent farm because Lana is back in town. The comment the LOSH make about Lana? It's a homage to Iconic Lana Lang's role in Clark's life. Technically, within the context of "SV", it doesn't make sense. That line should have gone to Chloe. However, I think that because of her importance in canon, they are having the LOSH say this and they're going to spend Lana's 4 episode arc trying to line her up with her iconic counter-parts -- meaning, his good friend from high school who was once his first love. They cannot accomplish this by killing Lana off.

I can see the Kents playing a role in having Clark become Superman.They raised him and taught him everything he knows,I don't see how lana plays a role in this.When all lana's done in the past is act like the center of attention,and demand Clark tell her his secret. I agree with you that the LOSH should tell that to Chloe,since she's the comic book lana to us. The way I see it they will likely try to cram in the comic book lana into Kristin's lana as a way to fix the last seven seasons. Then have lana die since it's already been established in spoilers what's going on. why have lana live if experiments are being done on her to keep her alive.It defeats the whole purpose of implying she's going to die,if they say experiments are being done on her.To help keep her alive and have her live,it's easy to see they are setting up her real death. So to seal up any doubt that Clark ends up with Lois,so to confirm he won't go back to lana.Since they've always had them break up and get back together a million times.

There is a difference between Iconic Lana Lang and SVLana. I was talking about Iconic Lana.... and it seems as though they are trying to match SVLana up with her iconic counter-parts. Therefore, she will end on a good note.

[rebecavaldez]

I think she was just looking for Clark to tell him about Jimmy!
