I'm not going to write off PS3 because of a couple of episodes with questionable decisions in them (depending on your point of view). But the writers seemed to have written themselves into a hole with this episode, considering next episode is supposed to be the final appearance for better or worse of Lana Lang.
But I think everyone can agree with this. Thank God that they decided to change Davis into a paramedic (I know Davis wasn't in this episode). Doomtender was the most ridiculous concept ever lol.

Many of you have hit on some of my beefs with PS3. They started out the season with a fresh, forward-looking direction. Clark was falling for Lois and Lois was falling for Clark. The two were doing investigative reporting together. Clark had become the Red/Blue Blur and was saving lives. Chloe had a difficult arc and Tess was brought in as the baddie. Everything was going well and there was growing excitement through Episode 10.
Enter KK's arc with SuperLana and Clark regresses to an angsty, indecisive whimp. Yes, he did some great things in Bulletproof - very superman-like. But his emotional development went into the crapper at the expense of writing Lana off like the superhero that he hasn't embraced fully. Now PS3 resurrected Clana and it looks like it will take her death to break off this Lana lovefest which makes Lois the consolation prize for Clark.
PS3 should be bullwhipped for giving that impression. Yes, there's still one episode left for them to correct this impression but the trailer seemed to show that Lana goes out as a hero and Clark looks like some duplicitous chump. Way to go PS3 - or was this a deal with Al and Miles for more Lana worshipping at the expense of Clark and the destruction of 70 years of an iconic love affair between Clark and Lois?

I voted Like, Dislike. To be honest, I didn't like a few episodes in the beginning of the season like Odyssey, Toxic, or Abyss, but I loved the other 8 episodes (including Legion).
Now they just went ahead and made me dislike and lose all faith in them as well.
I really hope they're reading tonight.
I hope they know how near-universally panned this episode is. I can't believe we were all praising them for the first half of the season.
I agree. This eipsode pretty much just messed up a lot of things in my opinion. Having Clark and Lana kiss in Bulletproof was perfectly fine since they both didn't know where to go from there with their facial expressions and the first part of Power. But the fact that they don't want to face their flaws, but just stick to what they have now and they kissed to confirm it just brought up the WTF-Factor.
They pretty much caused a bigger uproar in the fandom than some of AlMiles scenes... To be honest, I miss some of AlMiles' Clois scenes. At least some of those came from Clark having those feelings for Lois... :\

So far Season 8 has been such an improvement over anything Al & Miles have done in 5 years....... until now. Until Lana became a key part of an episode again.
This episode was so awful. That ending scene of Clark and Lana talking felt like we're right back in the Al & Miles days... I don't even know if the problem is the writing or the actress, but whichever it is, Lana Lang is the real Kryptonite to the show.... Everything is just so much better without her... It's not even like she's all that super attractive. Laura Vandervoort, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, and Cassidy Freeman are all miles better.

AMEN! Honestly though in my opinion it has less to do with the Kristen Kruek (I really think she's a good actress) and more to do with the overkill of the character. She's so destructive to Clark's character and really counter-productive to the formation of his destiny.

Whoa... I'm not a huge Lana fan, and I'm not a fan of this episode at all, but even I have to admit this is a bit harsh.
FYI, there are actual Lana fans on this forum and clamoring for her death, well it's rather rude. Imagine having people calling for Chloe's death? Or Lois'?
I just think this episode could have been written better and if they were planning on having Lana put the moves on Clark at the end of this episode, they didn't need to have her pushing him away for the last 4 episodes.
Just my honest opinion.

Blunt and to the point, I like it. She needs to written out of this show forever before anymore damage can be done. I mean the rest of the season was like putting a good foot forward, for the good of the show, and this episode is like two steps backwards. We've all been duped into becoming emotionally involved in this season because the first half was so great, now its like I'm stuck watching the second half because I just hope that something good will happen again.
I won't allow it. Like it or not, there are people who like Lana Lang right now.
I didn't like her before, but now, (since Season 6) I actually like Lana Lang. She's more secure, less insecure, more goal-oriented, less damsel in distress.
What the writers should kill off is Clark's pining for Lana. Lana is hated because she has this effect on Clark. Maybe, just maybe, if they were just best friends right now, would you really hate Lana? Their time for romance has passed, and Clark should just move on to Lois. I love Lana, but it seems to me that the writers are actually trying to make fans hate her because they keep making Clark pursue her. If only they stopped doing that. >.<

Lana is owned by DC they cant kill her off. In the accepted mythos Clark eventually tells Lana he is going with Lois, it happens over a period of time. Lana has one more episode left this season and isnt expected back for next season, so obviously something will happen for Clark and lana to move on, but I do not believe it will be her death.

I don't think they wrote the last episodes. I think Kristen wrote the last episodes and now the show is going to be called Lanaville. I hear she had a lot of input in how her character was portrayed and clark lost himself yet again. He may as well be back with Alicia because she had powers too and he didn't have to be alone anymore. Shame on you writers!!!

Initially- Finally on track. KK's relative must have left the writing staff when she and AlandMiles left the show.
Current- Did KK's relative return to the SV writing staff? She must be related to someone on the writing staff or TPTB because they sure have messed over Clark Kent/Superman/TW to make her character be the supreme heroine on SV.

Why build up arelationchip for half a season,to completely invalidated in a 5 story arc?
Back to creative writing 101, SP3.
They build up the relationship and even a pretty good story to completely abandon it for 5 episodes. Based on spoilers, it looks like they will jump back to the first storyline and relationship.
Any progression that was made in the first part of the season (and that is not just limited to the different ships) was forgotten for these 5 episodes. Then, they will just jump back into it like these 5 episodes didn't really happen or something. No progression, no buildup, no nothing. It's like this has been a season of 2 Smallvilles. They look to jump from one Smallville to the other and back again with no conherent plot to connect them.
I loved what PS3 did the first half of the season. Now I'm wondering what the hell they are thinking and trying to accomplish. However, after the Lana arc, I really expect for things to go back to the great season 8 they started out with, despite the jumping from one Smallville to another. If I'm right and it happens that way, I will be happy but it will also be futher proof that the writers (no matter who it is) will always put Lana first over anything else in the show.

01-30-2009, 12:13 PM
I liked them a lot as I started getting into Season Eight because they impressed me with the way they really upped the quality of the story-telling.
I am disappointed in whoever wrote THIS episode because it was written very poorly and made one character into a Mary Sue when if it had been written better, said character could have still looked good without the episode coming off as fan-wank.
So I still like them, but I fully expect them to make up for this episode by continuing with what they were doing before.

I can't say that i really liked them at first or that i they dislike them now.I think that they meant well when they started the season but they had one big disadvantage:inexperience.They went from planing a single episode to planing a whole season and maybe they didn't understand the difference.That was evident with some plotholes that have recently come to surface as well as the unbalanced casting for each episode.One thing is for sure.If there is a season 9 they will do much better.

I liked the first half of the season and I've not lost hope yet. Not every episode can be perfect. They've showed me what SV has the potential to be, which is great. I'll be grateful to them for that, at least. So I'm still holding on and keeping the faith! Cuz you're only as good as your best work. And their best work were masterpieces, so that makes them still great in my eyes...
But if they screw up the rest of the season, I'll be friggin' PISSED!

01-31-2009, 01:13 AM
Right now? To be blunt I think they suck.
They pulled a bait-and-switch. A Lois & Clark first half, and a Jan/Feb of Lana & Clark. They kicked Erica and Aaron off the show for 4 and 5 episodes in a row respectively. They spend their resources on a fake Lex, young kids to play the regulars in flashback scenes, and numerous one episode guest stars to make up for the fact that in the second half episodes have featured no more than 4 of the 7 regulars at once. They thought that somehow they could tell a consistent storyline with 2 regulars, blew the budget they could've used to give more of our regulars more episodes on other things, and you see the result. An arc of 4 episodes that basically has nothing to do with the first 10.
This is about people buying one thing and then being given another. That is why people are mad. Those of us who were big fans of the first 10 episodes did not want to come back from holiday break to a 4 episode arc that largely had nothing to do with where we left off. So in addition to having to wait nearly the length of a summer hiatus before getting back to the show from the first half that we wanted to see, we now have to deal with the fallout this 4 episode section has dealt the series lead, Clark. That is why I am mad. I didn't tune in because I wanted to see 2/3 of a season of Smallville, I wanted an entire season of Smallville. What they are giving us is an 18 episode Season 8 that is being split up by episodes 7.21-7.24. I hate the showrunners for it and I hope they know it.

Well I voted like, like. Here's why. This season, IMO, has rocked! And it seemed, to me at least, that as of a couple of episodes ago that was the majority opinion on these boards. For perceptive- 'Legion' one of the best episodes of the series IMO was less than FOUR weeks ago. I liked 'Bulletproof' although I know some didn't and now we have 'Power' and it goes crazy here. Did I like 'Power'- not that much, worst episode this season BY FAR. Does 'Power', ONE episode, ruin a show that I've watched for EIGHT YEARS? No. Does it ruin a great season?- not to me. I don't think PS3 has done a good job with the Lana return storyline. In fact I think they handled it about as poorly as they could have but after next week the storyline ends and Lana is gone. By 'Hex' no one on Smallville is even going to be talking about what happened in 'Power' and 'Requiem.' My big disappointment is that I think, if done better, Lana's return could have been a great story. JMHO.

But I haven't really ever changed my opinion since they took over cos I believed (and still do) that they've been unofficially running the show for a while, and didn't really think anything would change. I think the changes in S8 are the result of it potentially being the last season, moreso than the changing of the guard.

I don't like to judge people. I don't know PS3. I just can say until "power" I was very happy with the season 8. Power is a HUGE mistake, disaster, mess,...But I hope they will fix it. They have to. Everybody makes mistakes, the thing is to recognize you were wrong and rectify.
I will answer this question when I will see some episodes after requiem. Until there, I think it won't be fair to "bury" them like this. I hope they know now how many fans are angry, disappointed,...and they will do in consequences.
A second chance ? Yes but not one as they have given to Lana ! lol

I love Lana, but it seems to me that the writers are actually trying to make fans hate her because they keep making Clark pursue her. If only they stopped doing that. >.<
I can't believe it but I actually agree. For the first time in the show's history I kind of like the Lana character. HOWEVER, they seem to be unable to write Clark whenever she is in the picture. Are these writers so emotionally immature? Were they nerdy in high school and had a unrequited crush on the head cheerleader? They would not have to kill her off if they could just have Clark GROW UP and start acting like a man. When they write Lana they always make her look good at everyone else's expense. Why not make Clark look good at everyone else's expense? He is the hero after all.
So on the one hand I am HAPPY she is leaving next show. However, because of the way she is leaving Clark looks like the utter loser he has always been when it comes to those two. It would almost be better to keep her on but make Clark get over her. They could have easily had him grow up and stop having romantic feelings for her. It happens all the time in real life. You fall in and out of love - - especially puppy love. So now we are getting what we want (LANA GONE) but in a way that absolutely ruins Clark (and Lois as well).

I loved the beginning of the season. The scripts were great and the energy was rejuvenated. I'm hoping that these Lana episodes will be seen as an anomaly in the season as a whole, when Jimmy and Lois come back and the Doomsday story picks up again.
Not to say that Lana's presence in itself is the problem, but the regression to earlier seasons and the deification of the character is.
LovelyLoisLane
02-03-2009, 07:23 PM
Now see, I think in 'Legion' Clark was wonderful, and very much Superman. In 'Bulletproof' I think Clark was wondeful and very much Superman.
So I don't think Lana's presence ruined those episodes, in fact I found that I didn't mind her. It was only 'Power' that made me want to find the person that thought this up and . . . well . . .maybe I better not say what I was thinking, but it was bad.
This was her only episode in her mini-arc that I thought did horrible things for the show, the storyline, her character and has a bad impact on Clark's character. When there is another Writers/Fans Q&A, if there ever is another one, I'm definitely going to be asking 'What the Hell were you thinking?!' about 'Power' but in a nice way. ;)

I never loved the show when AlMiles were in charge, and I'd say this almost has their Lana-obsessed stench all over it (which smells vaguely like raw sewage), except it is even worse than that. I seriously can't believe an adult who was in their right mind wrote this garbage.
I was loving this season, probably because they glamoured me with visions of Superman in action, but I feel like the newspaper in Superman Returns with the headline
"Where Has He Gone?"
I really am so disappointed that I almost feel like someone close to me up and decided to steal money from a children's charity.
I liked the new helmsmen (and woman) this new season starting in, but what in the world they are thinking with this episode is beyond me. I feel gobsmacked, incredibly so, but I'm holding on just out of sheer veracity to do so. I'm going expect the worst though, that way I won't feel too bad if the end of the world comes about this week, but I'm still hoping for the silver lining.

I feel gobsmacked, incredibly so, but I'm holding on just out of sheer veracity to do so. I'm going expect the worst though, that way I won't feel too bad if the end of the world comes about this week, but I'm still hoping for the silver lining.
I hope to be optimistic like you and see beyond the stars. I'm still hoping for that silver lining and my heart is still not broken. I hope its not to late after coming this far. PS3 come out of the shadows and back into the light and set us all free please..:\

I have never been a fan of PS3. And personally take offense to the fact that people can honestly blame lack of experience on the bag of cow manure that takes up the 8pm to 9pm slot on Thursdays. PS3 have been producers on Smallville for a while—In my opinion, a season of shadowing the writers should at least provide you with a what not to do with Smallville guide—and I'm sure working with Al/Miles—Satan's in disguise--is whats to actually blame for this. Maybe we should stop trying to peg PS3's inexperience as their chief fault, and start blaming their actual experience, which as I understand, is limited to being producers on Smallville during Al/Miles (destructive) reign as writers. Man, I'll say they picked up a few tricks! ;)
I'm just surprised that PS3 hasn't revealed that Lana is a god-like being in disguise. So for that, I give PS3 some props, but very little microscopic tweed props at that. Whedon didn't pair up Fred with Lorne if you catch my drift... :rolleyes:
PS3 really pissed me off with Legion. But I'm sure the Chlarkers must have been content. Chloe Sullivan. Ha, mofo's. PS3 thought they were so good with continuation and all that BS; their golden episode in my opinion is one of their biggest failures yet. HELLO, PS3, did you not just have your big BLOODY WEDDING??? Obviously Chimmy was just a plot point. PS3 is EPIC FAIL. The only reason I watched the first half was for the CHLAVIS!!! Chimmy does absolutely nothing for me, they have no chemistry, he's a douche, she's amazing. It doesn't work. I'm planning to send him to Tool Academy. IF only they accepted fictional characters... And then if I hadn't thought Chimmy was enough a bloody joke as is, everyone spent the whole friggin episode referring to her as Chloe OLSEN. Yeah, I'm fairly certain there is a logical reason as to why you haven't heard of a Chloe SULLIVAN. Jeez, that’s probably the main reason all the " 'We've never heard of Chloe Sullivan' threads" make me snorfle my cola and pee my pants. SHE ISN'T CHLOE SULLIVAN ANYMORE!!! :)
Since I'm an avid anti Chimmy person I harbor an extreme dislike for the first half of season eight. And being a fan of Clois--since I missed the past few episodes--I have no doubt the dislike will continue to infinity and beyond. :(
I also have no doubt I will continue to watch PS3 turn gold into sulfur because PS3 is the personification of a joke, and if nothing else watching what they create will no doubt send me into an uncontrollable fit of giggles. :D

I REALLY liked them at the beginning of the season, and liked them even more in the middle of it -- I think they really hit their stride starting in "Identity" and kept turning out awesome hits all the way through "Bulletproof." "Power" has been the only one since then that has seemed "off," so I'm not ready to digitally tar & feather PS3 yet. They've introduced too many cool storylines and have developed some of these characters more than AG & MM did in several YEARS worth of stories, in my humble opinion. Sure, the vast majority of us are pretty frustrated by what happened with Clana/Lana from the last three minutes of "Bulletproof" until now, but I think there's plenty of reasons to hope that the remainder of the season (at least AFTER "Requiem" if not INCLUDING it) will be rockin' once more.

i'm starting to think the truth is PS3's influence in the show was what was wrong with it in the first place. Maybe if they had gone and AlMiles had stayed we would actually have the show we loved...
No. God no. It was CLEAR for the past 7 years of who call the shots.
Al Gough: "People hate Lana because she's pretty."

:eek:
Did he actually say that? Where? That's utterly ridiculous. Chloe, Lois, and Martha Kent are all pretty but they aren't getting the same kind of hate.
what the heck is ps3? I know they're the writers right? silly question sorry...
PS3 stands for Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders, and Darren Swimmer. They're the folks who took over from Al Gough and Miles Millar this season. Not a silly question, as acronyms go it's one of the harder ones to decipher.

I still like them and still trust them. They have an overall arc this season and I am entertained every week by the story they tell. I won't know until the last episode of season 8 airs what my final opinion of them will be because I need to see how all the pieces fit and how everything plays out.

I like them. I think they caved to KK's demands (or maybe Al/Miles made her storyline arc a contract matter for her remaining 5 episodes) and that pissed me off but I think they know where to take this series for the remaining season and hopefully into season 9.

:lol: well i was talking about the show, just just Lana
that's the thing people keep confusing. Power wasn't just bad because of Lana/Clana... it was simply bad in general
my favourite seasons where from Al/Miles, and some of my favourite episodes where written by them. they are the creators of the show i loved, and PS3 are the destroyers of that show... Al Miles did go down hill, and i hated season 7, but i never understood why anyone thought handing the baton to someone else was a good idea

thanks for the 411,
imho the question is not who hired these bozos, but the question is did they even finish college? they're so amateur!
