Is anyone sad.... [Archive] - KSiteTV Television & Movie Forums

I won't miss Lana, I'm ready for the Lois and Clark connection and I honestly haven't really missed Lex either. Who I have missed is Jimmy and Lois, and where's Doomsday!?! I find it hard to believe a super villain takes a month off, but then again this is Smallville, they love starting something big and not coming back to it for a month.

Maybe DD also went to Star City.:rolleyes: But, what connection?! I am sorry, i'm a die-hard clois but i don't see any connection between them, we only have that outside Smallville limits. I don't mind Lana getting a sendoff, but i really do mind what they are doing with Lois and Clark. If they're not suppose to be, it should never have started. So, i don't know whether i'm sad or angry or in doubt, or stumped, all i know is that i can't think clearly.

I liked Lana when she wasn't so Power driven... They have changed her role completely to some demi-god...I give up *sighs*

01-30-2009, 09:00 AM

No, imo they ruined her character in SV. I'm looking more forward to the Lois and CK relationship "starting" which they we're doing well the first five ep of season 8 specially in Committed. They should have build up from that.

I will miss Lana, I loved her on the show. But its time to move on, the show is almost done, and they need to end it with Lois and Clark.

As for Lex, I miss seeing him on the show, once in a while. I don't like the whole, "Lex Corp." Without him, and hes in wires all the time. Boring...

zar33n

01-30-2009, 09:22 AM

"Power" was a strange episode. I don't know how to even process it. So she's a superhero now? The fact that they opened up their relationship again was a bad move. She's leaving next episode and Clark is confused enough as it is. Shoulda kept it friendly. I don't like the direction they took her. It's just....ugh..superhero??! Are they trying to tie it with the Streetfighter movie? Cause that's the set-up I'm noticing.

Jedimaster_TTBaby

Nah...I'll survive without her. Hope she gets a good send off.

lol. In the comic books, I think she ended up as a super hero? No? Anyways, I may miss her. I dunno. Doesn't really matter for me. I just enjoy watching this show. :)

no. i will not. PS3 has completely destroyed all of my good feelings for Lana. it's just completely despicable with what they've done to her storyline. no wonder she's done after the next episode.

01-30-2009, 10:15 AM

I didn't miss Lana before, I felt her character had been pretty ridiculous the last few seasons and I never liked her damsel-in-distress storylines. I felt like with Lana gone Clark really began to grow and it was nice to begin to truly see the Superman in Clark Kent.

Now with the new Superlana I'm counting the minutes until she's gone again

HowardFilms

01-30-2009, 10:26 AM

The only thing I ever liked about you was leaving Clark in the tape, and this ep took that away from you.

Are you kidding she can't leave the show soon enough as far as I'm concerned. She has no redeeming qualities what so ever. I like KK, but I'd rather watch her in the Street Fighter movie.

That this will be the last we see of Lana Lang on Smallville.
Not the new different Lana, but overall in general.
She is/was such a huge part to the show.
It might be weird not seeing her again.

I will miss her very much!I can't speak for the shippers though.:(

If the show had not been doing well without her then I probably would have missed both her and Lex. But, actually she was not missed by me in the first half of this season. I was already used to her being gone and liked the way the show was heading without her character. The show seemed fresh and new. Since she's been back its been nothing but the same old thing again.

HeartChakraBabe

01-30-2009, 02:32 PM

how has the show not progressed?

It was progressing, but then Lana came back and Clark regressed, and since he's the main character, it feels, to me at least, that he's dragged the show with him, in a sense. Hopefully, this will blow over as soon as Lana is gone.

When Lana and Clark are separate, I like their individual characters, but then they get back together and they revert to lovestruck teenagers. That doesn't seem like a healthy relationship to me.

01-30-2009, 04:24 PM

I will miss. I will definitely miss Clana after all they have given us in the past few eps. So sad really. People are so happy for her to go because that means to return of Lois - but a return to what? A broken-hearted Clark who is devoted to finding a cure so that he and Lana can be together again? A broken-hearted Clark who may notice you just because Lana is gone and who might possibly forget you again if/when he finds said cure.

Two things:

1) Lois Lane does NOT come back after she leaves. She's barely in the any of the episodes for the rest of the season. So, really, Lana leaving has nothing to do with Lois.

2) Why do you assume that folks want Lana gone because of Lois? I want Lana gone because she's a horribly written character & all the characters immediately go downhill when she around. Whether or not Lois is there is irrelevant.

1.) What do you mean? Lois is in the very next episode after Lana leaves. You're right in that Lana's departure is not because of Lois. I was saying that some fans will be happy that Lana is going because Lois will be featured in the very next episode. For some reason the writers did not put them together in any other episodes.

2.) It's not assumption. It's what I've clearly read on this site many times today from various posters. The main occurring theme in these posts is that if Lana is gone, Clark and Lois can finally get together. This may not be true of you, but surely you've read this today, right?

01-30-2009, 05:03 PM

I am a big Clois fan, but I will miss Kristen as Lana Lang, yes Smallville will go on without her but she contributed so much to this show, I will miss her dearly. I hope if there is a season 9 that she will come back as a quest alone with MR and AO, not just once but several times.

Cyn

01-30-2009, 07:23 PM

Honestly, I like KK and the Lana character, but Lana has been so poorly written and glorified for sooooo long that I can't even stand to look at her any more. The season 7 goodbye actually worked for me. I thought it pretty much fit. Clark just had to get through the stages of grief to move on. Amen...The End!

Then season 8 happened...AND IT WAS GOOD!!! Season 8 continued its forward progression at a fast paced jog. Then the Lana arc happens. *squish* Suddenly the show is knee deep in the same old crap again. I hope the show can scrape it off after she is gone and that the stench doesn't screw up the rest of the season. I know I won't be taking any easy breaths for several more episodes. My gag reflex is kicking in.

paolinki25

01-30-2009, 09:01 PM

I'm sorry, but I can miss a character that added zero to the show. Lana went completely wrong after season 2. That, right there, that's when I stopped caring for her. When she got with Lex ( the first episodes), I thought she was getting interesting, but then she became a martyr again, and I came back to the "I don't give a crap about you again."

ClanaDestinyObsession

01-30-2009, 09:15 PM

I do think the writers have stretched Lana's character a bit too much lately, but (especially in what she said to Tess about hating Lex) she has grown from it.

DisneyBoy

01-30-2009, 09:20 PM

I'm not going to miss her because the writers screwed up their last chance of not screwing her up anymore than they already did.

If they can't write her well, kick her to the curb. The show should be a love letter to the fans at this point, because without those viewers, CW wouldn't have a big hit to help bolster them. So keeping viewers happy should be the big priority.

This episode...didn't do that.

Yeah, I made the avi just for that. Simpler times...*sigh*... but that was before Lana KNEW (and thus Clana was doomed to to his secret)
I was thinking i want to make one more like yours... since this episode was the best yet!

I like the new Lana who's learned from her past mistakes and I liked the old Lana before her mistakes. it was the in-between stage where she was making those mistakes that I didn't like. The writers have moved on though. The last secret has come out of the bag as far as I know.

I'm looking forward to seeing your new avatar! I really like the one I have up now. Unless they have a better one in Requiem, I'll be keeping it for quite some time. :) It'll help keep me positive about Clana offscreen until she comes back for the series finale arc.

I won't miss her. Traditionally she was not a significant factor in Clark's life once he was at the Planet. The way SV has portrayed her has kind of ruined the character for me. I can't figure out if she is sincere or not. SV seems wishy washy with what they wanted out of that character. Just my opinion though.

Don't worry, the writers will never let us miss her. Her name will be mentioned at least once every episode until the season finale. They did during the first 10 episodes of the season (except Committed) and they'll do it until SV ends. Lana will be forever remembered.

paolinki25

01-31-2009, 08:35 PM

I only wish they had not brought her back this year. I was really looking forward to seeing her again...this was suppposed to be a new lana, grown up, and Clana was supposed to have changed. This is EXACTLY THE SAME. More of the stupid crap. What a waste.

Exactly. The promise of a grown up Lana was just a load of crap. It's the same, old, annoying bs stuff they've been shoving down our throats for the past 7 years.

My response may surprise those that have read my posts but I said Yes. The more Lana is around, the greater the contrast between her and Lois becomes and hence, the more vivid the reasons that Clark chooses Lois over Lana.

I like KK - I always have. This current version of Lana disgusts me and I think tptb have done her a tremendous disservice. Rather than the nonsense they are showing, I would have preferred a mature dissolution of their relationship based on Clark's realization that Lana wasn't the girl for him. With her still around, she could be a friend, confidante, and a lingering threat to Lois; ie, if you don't want him, I'll be happy to take him off your hands even though Clark rejects her overtures.

I would have preferred KK/Lana remain with the show and put her in a frienemy role, hitting on Clark sometimes when Lois seems irritated with him but mostly being a friend. It would have provided more motivation for Lois to lower those walls and recognize the guy she whose heart she has won.

Of course I miss Lana. I still dont think a series called Smallville makes any sense without her or Martha.

Theshadow129x

10-22-2009, 03:59 AM

Seriously, Smallville is the story of Clark and Lex in the Small and Lana Lang being the girl next door that gets left behind in the middle of all of it. She wasnt supposed to be a big part of the show like she has.

Her character didnt have anything going for it after season 3, the Isobelle arc was proof of that.

as far as it being on without Lana and Martha, thats proof that the show has been stalled and pushed on longer than it needed to be. Clark should be beyond training by now. His training came up in season 5 and we're now on season 9 and hes just not getting to it

As far as Lana goes...when she came back in season 8 the show went back down hill and it was proof that her character no longer fit the formula for the show anymore. If Smallville needed to go more adult it needed to shed the childhood crush that was Lana Lang and she will not be missed by me on any occasion.

That's awesome! Wow, suddenly I'm really really happy :):D
The moment Lois dies (when she's 90 or 100 or something), Clark can go back to Lana, since she will still be alive :D ;) All they have to do is find a cure to heal the Kryptonite-effect on Lana. Though, I read in someone's post a while back, that the Kryptonite-effect might wear off after a few years :):D

After all, their love on Smallville has always been true love, imo! :)

Seeing this thread just made my day :p

I'm a little sad, although Lana did overstay her welcome.
Saying things like 'good riddance to bad rubbish' is just plain disrespectful to everything that KK has done for the show.
2 of the big 3 are now gone, and the ratings show it.:\
Sooo true.

The season that Lois and Clark started, ratings went down even further.
This season proves (to me at least) that people don't want Clois on Smallville (ratings suck). The show is still a very good show, but it's not Smallville anymore. It doesn't deserves that status. Smallville used to be a brilliant show about Clark, with his love Lana, his friend Chloe, his parents and his 'enemy/friend' Lex.
Only two of the original eight cast members have made it into S9. I can understand the loss of ratings, since anyone who watched the first couple of seasons must be thinking: Who the hell are all these people?

Smallville was great when it used to be Smallville.

Smallville was great when it used to be Smallville.

Sven, the ratings are down because it was moved to Fridays, not because it's focussing on Clark and his relationship with Lois. Let's not kid ourselves here, and the ratings actually went down after Power aired. A lot of people shook their heads and walked away, and it didn't help that DD took a nose dive in it's story as well. Call it the one two punch if you will!

It's actually doing very in the DVR numbers which shows me that if it were airing on it's Thursday time slot still we would be seeing a bump in the ratings from last season. 2.62 milliion on a Friday night? Even Ugly Betty which was a top show has lost a ton of viewers for the same reason. No one watches TV on Fridays here in the US. People have plans or get togethers.

As for the "Big 3", the only one that's needed is the Big One, Clark Kent. It's still Smallville, but the characters have grown up and IMO it's better now. It's not KK's fault that her character was written so poorly, but I do blame her a little for this arc, because I know she had say in it. That was disappointing to say the least, but it is what it is.

For the record, I don't miss Lana in the least.

Sven, the ratings are down because it was moved to Fridays, not because it's focussing on Clark and his relationship with Lois. Let's not kid ourselves here, and the ratings actually went down after Power aired. A lot of people shook their heads and walked away, and it didn't help that DD took a nose dive in it's story as well. Call it the one two punch if you will!

Huh, The Lana Arc didn't see a significant drop in viewers 4.29, 3.85, 4.21, 3.93 even after a LONG christmas break.
Infamous on the other hand dropped to 3.56 , some will say it's because Lana left, and others will say its because Lana was in the last episode. But this whole idea that Lois=high ratings and Lana= low ratings is ridiculous.
If this was the case then why did Stiletto (a very poor Lois Centric episode with almost no progression whatsoever) get an awful 3.1m? So stop going on about it.
If Smallville was on Thursdays again, i reckon the ratings would hover just over 3m., The quality of the show has gone down since seasons 1-6, i still like the show, but it's not as important to me as it once was.
Finally i understand people being happy that Lana is out of the picture (especially Clois fans), but there is no need to act like she's worthless and hasn't contributed anything to the show. There is a reason why the people who like Lana don't come on this board anymore.

Sorry to the MODS this is way off topic.

My statement remains the same. Again, I'm not sad she's gone as her character only made Clark's look bad and took the focus off of him, and unfortunately the worst of it was this episode and Requiem.

i dont think she made clark look bad clark did that on his own sometimes people use the lana character as an excuse for clark's regression which i really dont agree with. Her character definitely was the cause of unnecessary drama and love triangles that made this show dawson's creek with powers at certain stages. will i miss her yeah i will but there moving in a different directon.

That's what the CW Lounge is for! HA! :rotfl::rotfl::p

Her character didnt have anything going for it after season 3, the Isobelle arc was proof of that.

Very good point! I've always said that Lana started to get annoying during season 4. Lana contributed in the first 3 seasons but after that there really was no need for her character. Why do you think they rehashed Clana so many times and put her in the main storylines were she looked rather out of place? I tell you it was like they were desperate to do something with her character just because Kristin Kreuk had a huge contract!

Yeah and there is no need to act like Lana is a goddess of all sorts and has contributed more than anyone else on the show. You may not see it but there are many Lana/Clana fans that highly overrated her. They act like she was the best thing that ever happened on this show and trust me MANY ppl will dispute that! What happened in season 8 was an absolute travasty to many ppl because Clark was once again taking 10 steps back when it came to Lana. Another reason why ppl don't like Lana is because Clark preaches all these morals to his friends and fellow heroes but when there is a situation that involves Lana then he's a total hypocrite about it. It's like Chloe can't kill Lex for what he did to her mother but it's perfectly okay for Clark to kill Lex because he thought he killed Lana. Oliver can't kill Lex for him being a threat to society but it's perfectly okay for Clark to kill Lex because him and Lana can't be together anymore. Do you see where I'm going with this?

About Requiem seeing how it was Kristin Kreuk's final episode you would think that ratings would score higher than Power, right? So there's something to think about. I'm sure there were many ppl that were turned off by this show after Power and even more after Requiem because after those 2 episodes there were a good amount of fans that couldn't take this show seriously anymore. In fact I'm surprised that those episodes DIDN'T cancel this show because I honestly thought that after Requiem it would never recover.

You say ratings started to go down when Lana left. Many will say by the time she left the damage was already done. Now that's not necessarily Kristin Kreuk's fault but the way the writers and the directors poorly handled the situlation. We knew that KK was leaving so why even put Clark and Lana back together in the first place? My guess is that they thought it would help boost up ratings and they failed in the process. It just shows that most of the ppl that watch this show don't care to see Clana drama anymore because we're so over it! Yes the second half of season 8 was crap but many will say that the Lana arc is where it all started. In all honesty Lana could have had a better send-off and Clark and Lana's relationship could have ended on a much better note.

As much as I would like to blame Lana with Requiem going under 4M, I think more has to be said for going up against Bones. Legion and Power didn't go up against Bones and got 4M+, Bulletproof and Requiem did go against Bones and score under 4M.
