Most annoying aspect of Legion!

[blackcelebration]

I'll admit that this was quite a cool episode but there were still some annoying stuff:lol:

[vyperman7]

I didn't really have that many complaints, but if I had to choose, the fetishism of Lana Lang would definitely be #1 on my list. I also didnt care for the actor who played Garth. It is a shame that the Legion member who did the most talking with the best lines had to be the actor with the worst line delivery..LOL

[Imzadia]

Well, I only know about The Legion of Super Heroes via the animated series from Saturday mornings. I don't know All their directives or what Clark's future became, however I was annoyed that the LoSH, especially Saturn Girl, revered Lana Lang and the influence she had over Clark becoming the hero he eventually becomes. I would have thought that Lois would've played a larger role in the hero he became as time passed and on into his future. It sounded Strange to me that she/Lana would be remembered so prominently in association with Clark, added to that, Lois was mentioned very little, ...I think only once.

The other annoying thing about the LoSH was Garth. Lightening Lad was 'Too Giddy', IMO. Nevermind all that, I Still absolutely Loved the episode!

[jimmyolsenblues]

every scene was great that lana was not in....

[kalel5313]

"Lana, you'll be remembered for far more than your relationship with Clark Kent." And that would be...? Sure, Lana's around in the comics, but she is more like a tertiary character. She belongs in the footnotes of Clark's life story.

[Alania]

All the above plus one more: "Question is, what are we writing next?" After a legion of superheros having come from the 31st century, talking to him about his great destiny as a superhero and his incredible influence to mankind and aliens, i sensed that his wondering was regarding only, and only, his future with Lana Lang, instead of something about his own character and life. I don't want that CK aywhere near Lois Lane unless he grows up first.

:lol:

[FlashInSV]

Indeed, there were some annoying bits in this episode, no matter how cool it was.
Lana's pictures around the barn for instance! Why doesn't he have ONE picture of Lois? He's supposed to be falling for her by now (in S8 I mean). Where's the pic, Clark? Lana Lang period.

Also, Brainiac 5! As a faithful comic book reader, I am annoyed they changed his origins like that.

[quietone]

For the most part I liked the episode but the Lana Lang fetishism was completely over the top.

Maybe Luthorcorp is doing experiments on her and they will come up with a great miracle cure for warts or something and Lana will be remembered for ending the wart epidemic.

Trust me Cosmic Girl is Lana's Great Great Great grandaughter or something retarded like that!:lol:

Did you notice she was the only one who mentioned Lana, whilst Cosmic Boy and Lightening Lad were like... oh Lois and Jimmy :rotfl:

[SupermanRox]

I'm sick of the whole Lana thing. It is played out IMO.

[Theshadow129x]

everything mentioned about lana was annoying! i still cant stand her...though i liked the ending scene with her and Clark talking...that was kind of good.

[Iluvgreen]

I just don't know why he still keeps pictures of Lana.

he always keep good memories, just like he said in bride

[Tompouce]

The Legion saying "it is okay to kill". If they know Kal-El has they say, they do know that, it is so obvious. There are some things which don't make sense in this epi, sometimes...

[Eurynome]

I thought it was annoying that GA is nowhere to be seen. He was at the barn when Doomday crashed it, but he decides to go on a holiday?

The recap preceeding the episode was also annoying since it was extremely long.

[Mickey_Bickey]

:lol:

[coco#1]

the most annoying thing was Clark stating very strongly to the legion that he/they must never take a life and than when he talks to Lana and says they might have to kill Chloe, and than its Lana saying that noone dies. other than that the episode was a 10

You left off "Lana Bashing Poll". Where is the question about what a geek lighting boy was or how the Legion looked and acted like something out of a saturday cartoon. I thouht Lana was written very well in this episode and if "Miss Telepathy" had planted a kiss on her, all the better.

Well, there is the Legion making fun of Clark option.

There were parts that reminded me of the Superman TAS episode, which also had the Legion, but that was a cool show.

And if you really want cheesy Saturday Morning kids show, check out Superfriends:lol:

I AGREE! That got me totally pissed...they really made Clark look weak in that scene, with Lana telling him "thats not who he is" and then he just smiles as though saying to himself "I guess shes right, oh well, probably should not kill Chloe"

[blackcelebration]

You also left out that I can't stand to even look at that creature of even admit or care to admit her existance!:D

Mine isn't it listed.

Its the constant dangling of carrots. If you thought Identity was toying with you [with Clark becoming Superman] Legion is on a whole new level of teasing.

[alejandrita439]

i voted for the pictures in clark´s house...

i was like... :eek: why he still have those photos?, and the photos were strange... who took the photo in the picnic :confused: and the other photo didnt exist because it was from an alternate universe :confused: :eek:

[Kal26]

It seemed to me that Saturn Girl gave Lana a bit of false hope about their relationship. She didn't really say they'd have one, but I would have liked to have seen her tell Lana to let Clark go. I wish they'd end that train wreck of a romance already. It seems like every time I think it's finally over, it starts up again.

[Estro-gen X]

"Lana, you'll be remembered for far more than your relationship with Clark Kent." And that would be...? Sure, Lana's around in the comics, but she is more like a tertiary character. She belongs in the footnotes of Clark's life story.

Shes currently working at the daily planet and Supergirl's secret identity is that of Lana's niece in the comics. Also we have to accept that Lana's place in superman's formative years shaped who he became as much as his adventures with the legion did and his parents. Lois came into the situation when the job was pretty much done but she keeps Clark on track everyday. I will point out as well that I don't like Kreuk's Lana but I can't ignore the facts.

The legion are legendary elitist ass wipes but I can only remember Star Boy killing someone and he was put on trial and kicked out

[Lnc4Ever]

I noticed the picture SG picked up Lana and Clark was of the celebration party for Jonathan. However, didn't Jor-el reverse time and that never happened? I could be wrong though? :\

I chose Lana Lang, period....:D

[Kal26]

The only part that didn't happen was the accident that killed Lana. Clark was able to stop it, I think. Everything else was pretty much the same. As far as I can remember.

[thehenry89]

everything that had to do with lana.

[Bizarrolover]

The only part that didn't happen was the accident that killed Lana. Clark was able to stop it, I think. Everything else was pretty much the same. As far as I can remember.

When the timeline was changed, Clark didn't propose or tell her his secret, so Lana was very angry at the celebration party and practically didn't stand next to Clark. She wasn't smiling. The 'happy' picture is from the reversed timeline, so, technically, it didn't happen.

[kal-el_Girl]

it sure bothers the heck out of me, clark's whinning streak continues (I'm sure he has been whinning in secret hence the pics), and if I was tom I would sign season 9 but w/ one condition:
no whinning for lana PERIOD.

I actually did not find that annoying. This episode, made it sound like none of the Legion had ever met Clark only read about him in books and museums. Those books were probably written by humans, who obviously make Superman out to be a hero.That would do whatever it took to say people as well as legend (which he is. And he deserves to be). However, it sounded like Superman was not a part of the Legion. He was by himself, and therefore, they never really got to know how to be heroes from one and only hero of heroes. Due to this fact, I did find it annoying that lightning lad said. "He has more legend than Legion" that line made me so mad. This entire time they were thinking they were a true hero, because they were willing to do whatever it took. And they have the nerve to insult the very man who inspired them to become heroes to begin with. Anybody else think that?

No. The legion were both right and wrong. they learned never to jump to those kind of conclusions so quickly again but they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world where clark wouldn't. they aren't as squeaky clean as him and as Chloe said at the end, if the worst came to the absolute worst you need people who can detatch themselves and save everyone else. It doesn't make them lesser heroes to believe that in their line of work as sad as it may seem there have to be acceptable losses for the bigger picture.

Also remember that clark is from 1000 years in the past. They see that the man existed but suggest his tales have been exaggerated. Try to think of Edward the Confessor who was around 1000 years ago. We know his biography but do we really know his character? How certain can we be? In the end it could have been the stories that inspired making Clark obselete.

Lana Lang

[ironman29758]

Legion acting brainiac is destroyed even though ther is going to be a Brainiac 5 Legion killion and tha it it. All I know of the Legion is their threeboot live, Geoff Joh Legion of three world and Superman and the legion of superheroes, Legion of superheroes tv show, Superman tas and Jlu animated series apperance of legion,teen titans/legion of superheroes crossover and the silver age origin of Legion's clubhouse and superboy's first meeting with the legion in Adventure Comics # 247

Imzadia, this was basically what I was going to type in response to your first post. Lois came into Clark's life after he became Superman. So it makes more sense that they would say Lana helps shape the hero that Kal-el will become.

[ColdPlay3r]

every line that had lana in it

Yes, she is working at the daily planet, but in the Supergirl series, she's been practically nonexistent since the announcement that she was Linda Lang's aunt. I think the most she's been around is having her name on some boxes at her and Kara's apartment and some arguments she's had trying to stop Cat Grant from running stories about how Kara sucks. That's hardly what I would call an important character. At the most I would call her secondary character, which as you'll notice is one step up from tertiary (I gave a little ground). I would have to argue whether her character had as much of an impact on Superman as his adventures with the Legion and his parents. I just don't think that she had much of an impact on him, but I guess the newest origin story that Geoff Johns will be coming out with she could become a more central figure. We'll see.

[neoblackdragon]

Comics wise Lana did not shape Superman at any great influence.
She was only created to be the lois lane for superboy. Afterward on the post crisis universe she was the chick that let Clark go and Clark learned to be superman from traveling the world.
Yeah the lana worship was just meh. I wished they had let slip the lois marriage thing.

[Mickey_Bickey]

I think it's safe to say that the general concensus is that Lana Lang was the most annoying thing about Legion.

I have to say I completely agree!:)

Everything related to Lana

I hope this is a current thread for the nest 3 episode "How annoying was Lana tonight?"

[fuchsiaRose]

Saturn's Girl infatuation with Lana.

Which is obviously a translation of PS3's infatuation with Lana Lang. No way has Saturn Girl ever been this much of a "Lana pimp" before. It was so stupid. :rolleyes:

[MAN-of-STEEL]

Lana Fudging Lang!!! It's getting pretty old already. If I remember correctly, according to the mythos Clark leaves Smallville because he knows he is capable of doing greater things outside of Smallville. They twisted the "original" relationship between Clark and her into a some kind of hideous monster. It ticks me off that Clark "needs" Lana's help to become Superman, that's not suppose to happen. They need to bring her story to an end.

[paolinki25]

I'm sorry, but yeah, Lana. I honestly would've loved if they had given KK a proper ending last season and don't bring her at all in this one. So not necessary to the story whatsoever.

[mrw66855]

I agree with you that sometimes to do, what is right you have to kill someone to save others and I think this episode showed that Clark is finally realizing that fact. But he also understands that that should be a last resort, when there is definitely no other options after pursuing every option a person can think of. The legionnaires did not understand this they were willing to kill an innocent person without listening to Clark. And exploring other options. The episode even said that in the script. "We were going to take the easy way out, but Clark. He never gave up hope." This is why reading books and studying the history of someone famous, tends to be distorted and inaccurate that is why it is better to take teachings from the actual person (if possible) or writings by them or someone close to them that we know them the best. By the way, if the hero takes a life of a person, they become just as bad as the one they are fighting. Remember, just my opinions.

[Deana]

I take offense to the Lana taking Chloe's speeches option because wasn't Chloe taking those speeches from Martha? I like neither character stepping in to take Martha's role, period.

I picked the first one and all the Lana ones accept the chloe speech one obviously.

I like your way of thinking. It is different from mine but you are right too. Thanks, it makes me thinking in another way;)

[Marissa]

The Legion says it's OK to kill.

And I think it was annoying that the Legion said that they never heard of a Chloe Sullivan. It makes sense though, because of the comics, but still. Annoying.

[kiariclois]

Hmmm... I say that Irma girl is ANNOYING. In my eyes, she can't act. Lana was bearable but she acts like she's never been out of SV before and it annoys me.

and the fact that Clark still keeps Lana's picture. Interesting that you noticed... I noticed few more things.. Here's what I wrote in my review:


Not making any sense...

- The framed pictures at the kents farm. Seriously, Clark still hasn't throw his picture with Lana away.
- AND who in the world took Clark and Lana picture when they're having that picnic? As I remember, it was only the two of them there.
- AND AGAIN... I don't remember seeing Clark being happy at the party for Jonathan in Reckoning (I think)... and yet somebody manage to take their picture in which Clark look so damn happy and not worry about the fact that Lana could die...

They really should think before framing those pictures (stills)... I know SV sometimes didn't make any sense, but on this matter too? Irma should have a weird look on her face when she sees it... My friend told me in the previous episode, there was none on Lana. Apparently even the old Lana framed picture comes back when she's back. Seriously.. not making sense.

[marcella]

What I didn't see on the Vote: Chloe having her memory back of Clark.

[alejandrita439]

[melissan02]

Oh yes;), those Clana photos were placed there for directorial/story purposes while Lana's arc is going on.
They do this in other shows all the time, mainly in soap operas. Sometimes, its other items besides framed photos,...like momentos, etc.
But, that being said, I would have expected to see a Clana photo...or two, three, whatever:rolleyes:... I'll bet you'll not notice those once Lana is gone in the next 3 episodes! Like I said, only there for her arc, nothing more.;)

*BTW, I have a friend that's been on three t.v. series and we talked about this very thing having just watched another show in which a similar type thing happened. I'd think someone in the entertainment/acting industry would have good insight!

[BULLITT]

A juvenile episode.

[Hopefulsuicide]

i second that... it felt very immature

[Myrddin]

They could not mention Lois too much - Clark would wonder why.

But you noticed that she was the one that they mentioned FIRST.

Btw - I really liked - Roc? was that his name?

[paolinki25]

Saturn Girl praising the awesomeness of future Lana was totally unnecessary, imo. I honestly don't even understand what was the point of having that chat with Lana. Girl bonding or something? :lol:

[SacredK]

The Legion making fun of Clark! Also, I couldn't stand Garth.

[Mythosgirl]

ugh...lana lang. geez already are they going to saint her? i hated the whole pictures in the house and Clark not beng able to make a decision w/o her. Lois Lane is HUGE in the mythos and they barely gave her a nod. annoying. I don't have to have Lois in every episode, but I hate when Clark just waits for Lana.

[MetroGirl06]

Lana Lang. What else can I say? Everyone pretty much hit the nail on the head with why she was annoying.

[Darth Pipes]

Lightning Lad. That guy was so annoying with his stupid, Shaggy Doo voice. He needed a serious beating, which Clark should have given him repeatedly. It was like listening to Screech from Saved by the Bell too.

[Hopefulsuicide]

the biggest disappointment in the episode was that Lois wasn't in it. those speeches given to Lana should have been given to Lois. it should have been about Lois realising how great her destiny is going to be, and both her and Clark accepting that their futures will be connected in some way for a long time... it could have been subtle and intelligent and could have enhanced Clois

why oh why did they make it all about Lana and how amazing she and her destiny are? what the hell was a comic writer thinking? did he fall in love with kreuk too?

that girl has been the biggest problem on the show since it started. i now can't wait for her to be gone again, and for us to get on with decent storylines

ITA here. I've said it so many times that for whatever reason, they always put Lana on this pedestal and make Clark look foolish in the process!:(

Not to mention the sudden changes like her expert Tae Kwon Do skills and Lois/Chloeish speeches like the "Clark she knew would never waiver"? What?? The Clark she new waivered more than a politician. Very annoying to say the least.

exactly my thinking... i literally said 'what, he's been waivering for seven seasons!!!!

i've been looking forward to infamous the most since i first heard about it... i think it's going to be a great episode as well as it being 'back to normal' so to speak

[ginnyfan]

1. Smallville has an "obsessive fascination" with Lana Lang.

2. Why didn't Clark super clean the barn? It had been a month right? I guess he was THAT worried about Chloe that he didn't even take the time to care for his barn and/or farm animals.

4. Did you see all of those pics Clark had of Lana? Let's see. Clark gazes at Lana's formerly Kryptonite necklace, watches her goodbye video and surrounds himself by photos of himself and Lana during happier times. Some are from different dimensions and some are taken by stalkers. What a masochist. He's not handling this break up well. *sings* Hey Jupiter...

5. Saturn Girl [channeling Galadriel]: Lana, do not let your heart be troubled. You too have a great destiny to fulfill.

7. Chloe Lana really encouraged Clark during the Isis hacking scene.

10. Lo-is! Where are you!

For us it was over a month, but for them it was the same night. Clark said to the Legion that it was the second time his barn had been attacked that night. I thought it was the next day until I heard that, but it hadn't been more than that in the Smallvilleverse.

[ginnyfan]

^Ah. Ok. It really doesn't make sense that Lana wasn't injured then. But way to go Clark! He saved Chloe right away.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Kal26]

yeah, Lana's lack of injury has been an on going topic. Not sure of the reasoning, but I think it's going to come to light later on.

[Princess_Kara]

I can not stand the Lana Lang character. I wish she would not be in the episodes anymore. I am ready to move on with Lois and Clark.

[Just Another Guy]

A.) "The Clark I knew would never doubt himself." At first, I had the same thought. But I think she was referring specifically to the context of her speech: that an innocent life would not have to be lost. And on that, she's right. Clark would never have swayed on that issue.

B.) Lana's known martial arts for years, and has become a progressively more dangerous individual. I don't see why it's so hard to imagine Lana, of all people (ex-Miss Luthor, formerly Brainiac's comatose victim, and the eternal damsel-in-distress of yester-season), being incomparably committed to perfecting what skills she had.

C.) Chloe getting her memory back? *giggles* Sorry. I just had to bring it out again.

As for what I find most annoying, it's the predictable, redundant Lana-hatred from the fans.

[Kal26]

Lana gives me new and interesting reasons to dislike her every time she's on the show. ;)

I certainly wouldn't complain about this. I love Lana-fu. The poll is rather Lana biased.

Um... Annoying things...

Chloe's makeup and swingy arms as Chloiac.

Saturn Girl's dreamy quality at times.

The age of the Legion. Are they supposed to be teens? It was hard to take them seriously at first.

[Kal26]

The age of the Legion. Are they supposed to be teens? It was hard to take them seriously at first.

Yeah, they are supposed to be very young heroes from the 31st century. An age where most of the other "adult" heroes from the Justice League, or JSA are either dead, or retired.

[ClubXerxes]

I wretched when I heard the business about Lana and how she helped Clark become Superman. Are you kidding me? If anything, she was singlehandedly responsible for turning Clark to useless jello (without Kryptonite) for years. If I had written with Geoff Johns, I would have had the Legion rifling through Clark's house removing all Lana-related paraphernalia, or maybe have Imra plant a false future story - like telling Lana that she will have a great impact on the world living in total seclusion in Tibet.

[Watching Smallville]

I AGREE! That got me totally pissed...they really made Clark look weak in that scene, with Lana telling him "thats not who he is" and then he just smiles as though saying to himself "I guess shes right, oh well, probably should not kill Chloe"

I found that extremely annoying. Lana is not Clark's conscience. They brought her back as some sort of yoda, and it just didn't work for me.

Exactly! It will be great to get Clark back on track in Infamous, and I'm looking forward to Tori Spelling rekindling her role. She was great in Hydro! I loved how Chloe hammered the computer right before she mentioned alien!:lol:

Wow...u really hate Lana that much.

That's amazingly annoying... A lot of people start watching the episode, while thinking: Whatever Lana does, it will annoy me... If she dies, I'll be annoyed, if she saves Clark from kryptonite, while being hurt enormously, I'll be annoyed...

What was really annoying to me was the fact that Lois wasn't even near the barn when everything happened! Even when Oliver (who was with her) came to the barn, Lois was nowhere to be seen. Long live Lana for saving our hero!

Too bad the writers didn't have Lois come back to the barn actually. No one saved the day. Doomsday took off with Chloe. It was the opposite actually, and the reason Lana's character got the kryptonite was because of the foolish writing of Chloe losing her memory of his secret. Now I have the reason why the writers made Chloe have her memory of Clark's secret erased!! They wanted to put Lana on the pedestal instead of Chloe!! Thank you for that epiphany!:rotfl:

Even more reason to be annoyed. She's hindering an otherwise spectacular season.

I personally don't hate her - I just think her character is being written poorly. They could have justified her current status by having her be Clark's closest confidant instead of Chloe all these years, but they did not. They wrote Chloe in, and Chloe did all of the grunt work ehlping Clark become something larger than life while Lana moved back and forth between relationships. Now it seems they are shoe-horning Lana into a lead role again and ascribing to her great import, when clearly her character should be experiencing a denouement.

It's just confusing...

As for the hatred? I don't really get the hatred - they're TV characters

[miks]

Lana was ok in this episode actually. My biggest gripe was showing Lois in the previouslies and upcoming episodes even though we know she's not in the episodes. I think they are trying to make it seem like she's there to get people to watch.

[chlo-el]

I liked Lana in this ep. I loved how Clark did his usual try to protect her by excludinng her and Lana stood up for herself. I was all go Lana.

Anyway the most annoying about this ep is how Clark's best friend isn't remembered in the future.

[Alania]

Trust me, we are not happy with that! I'd rather they didn't show her at all, cause it's always that Bride image and honestly, neither get attention nor say zilch about her. I'm just watching out of hope she'll be mentioned, not because they keep showing her in those episodes that she isn't.

[Tigergal05]

I would understand if Clark just had one picture of Lana still around, but is it really necessary to have 500? I wasn't too thrilled with how Saturn Girl stated how Lana was a big influence in his destiny-it just irked me..have we forgotten about Lois? This kind of puzzled me, seeing as how apparently Geoff Johns loves Lois and she received just two small, passing mentions? Even after almost a week, that one factor still doesn't sit well with me. Besides this, I loved the episode!

[disciples of zod]

what really struck a sour note for this episode (for me, personally) was Lana, plus the whole Legion spiel about how it was ok to kill Chloe. it was said way too many times, and it just got really irritating!

~H

[razta]

I just don't know why he still keeps pictures of Lana.
:rotfl:
exactly, i don't keep picture's of my ex's

[Minela]

Saturn's Girl infatuation with Lana.

Ditto. The cheerleader needs to go. Uhg.

I miss Lois. :(

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

None from the above except for Saturn Girl telling lana how great she's going to become.

For me it was Chloiac. Why couldn't we just get the REAL Brainiac, James Marsters? Come on.

[medea]

Strangely, I enjoyed Lana in this episode. Maybe it's because she hasn't been in the show for so long... I don't know.
The Legion expecting Clark to kill a human being truly annoyed me and I'm not saying that only because they wanted to kill Chloe. Had it been Jimmy who I found truly annoying, I would also have been pissed! ( I wouldn't have minded him being killed by Doomsday thought:p).
I didn't like either that Clark didn't have the guts to tell Chloe about him erasing her memory.

I would just like to make sure I understand and make a polite point if I may. Are referring to where Lana got the Kryptonite away from Clark? Lois would not have been able to do that because she would not have known about Clark's secret. And Lois was not in the barn with Clark and Lana when Oliver showed up because she went in the ambulance with Jimmy to the hospital. I say that because she was the one with the most information about Jimmy's condition and what was going to happen to him.

I'm really shocked that I was asked this question, but no, I'm not trying to fit in with the other people that hate her. I have no need to fit in with anyone, and certainly wouldn't fake an opinion to do so. I could write a 500 page book on the reasons I hate Lana, as I'm sure you could go on about why you obviously don't, but both are our opinions, and we both have the right to have them. I'm not out to put anyone down for the way they feel, and I don't think anyone owes me a justification for their opinions on the character. Therefore, I don't feel the need to give anyone else justification for mine, unless they ask me in a genuine way, and truly want to understand, or try to understand where I'm coming from, not just accuse me of wanting to sit at the "cool" table. I never wanted to sit at the "cool" table, and certainly wouldn't start now at age 28.

[skylar]

I said all the above.

[susangail]

The Legion saying that it's okay to kill. I was so glad that Clark redeemed himself in their eyes by the time they left.

Lana was fine in this episode. Now, Clark... well, I saw a hint of his clana days. Ew.

[Vindellavon]

Lana Lang period.

[Tabularasa]

For me it was Lightning Lad. Had to be one of the worst performances in the show's history.

[The Krypton Knight]

I thought it was annoying how they portrayed Lana as a huge influence in Clark's journey to being Superman, when for practically the entire series she has been the biggest thing holding him back from achieving that destiny.

[IHeartClois]

So a very very veryyyyy long time ago I liked Lana and Clark.

But now im more than happy to see all the Lana hate! And she was sooooo annoying this epi I was gonna scream...I voted for the Legion saying crap like Lana will be wayyy more than just Clark's love interest....yea right...WTF?? She's always been a dumb annoying chick who made Clark's life hell...cuz he was always pining for her and she was torturing him...and it was annoying that Chloe was unknown!!

[SupaBoy]

I would have to go with them saying it was ok to kill.
But what i dont get is them saying it was ok to kill, and they were before talking about how they knew Clark/supes in the future(utopia) wouldn't the future Clark try and get them to go by this rule?:s im confused?

[Princess_Kara]

I wish they would have replaced all of the Lana scenes with scenes of Lois Lane or Kara Kent. Heck the dog would have been more fun for me to watch than anything having to do with Lana.

[RaniaLovesClois]

Everything that included Lana.

[Night_Hawk90]

chloeaic really didnt feel it

[jon-el87]

The legion are legendary elitist ass wipes but I can only remember Star Boy killing someone and he was put on trial and kicked out

And let's not forget, Thom killed in self-defense. It was his girlfriends psycho ex, who came after him and forced Thom to kill him, thus breaking the Legion's non-killing rule.

[jpfort1957]

The Legions main goal was the fact that Brainiac had to be Destroyed that day, at all cost to insure that they had a future to go back to. With the PZ crystal destroyed, killing Chloe was the only way to destroy Brainiac. Who wouldn't kill to save their world????????

[A Flawed Fashion]

I thought it was annoying how they portrayed Lana as a huge influence in Clark's journey to being Superman, when for practically the entire series she has been the biggest thing holding him back from achieving that destiny.

My thoughts exactly. Clark would have gotten a lot farther if things had gone differently with Lana. Seasons 4 through 7 proved nothing but that Clark and Lana would never work ever, but they kept on writing it and it failed every time. Then, she comes back in season 8 and instead of finally settling on the fact that they would never be together and making a mutual decision to go separate ways, she gets glorified and built up to be a great influence on Clark's life even though the show never wrote anything like that.

Smallville had years to figure out what to do with Lana, but all they could ever do was make her a love interest for Clark. In the end, they should have written her something in Season 4, 5, 6, or 7 that had her move towards a greater destiny instead of throwing it at us like this. I don't even hate Lana, I hate the Clark/Lana relationship, so for them to say that she was a great influence on Clark seems incredibly incorrect to me. She influenced him, but not in the right direction.

If I had to rewrite Smallville, I would completely change the Clana relationship and have it over for good by the start of Season 5 and then Lana could do something else and even have a friendship with Clark that could have influenced him to go in the right direction, but the way they wrote it, Lana never gave Clark much help in moving forward.

[Simba_Muffy]

Maybe she's a future relative of Tina Greer:rotfl:

Lana wanted Tina, but it's a sin in Smallville.:rotfl:

[Dyanara]

Looking back on this, I kind of think that Lana wasn't needed in this episode. Or she could have been there at the beginning when Clark came back to the barn and then not have been seen again. This is not Lana bashing because I actually like her and think she was beautiful, but I don't think she really served any kind of purpose. There was no need to have Lana reinforce Clark's determination not to kill, he could have worked that out on his own.
As for the Legion itself, I really loved all of them for different reason's, and Emrya(sp) was such a beautiful and classy character.
