They Cheapened Clois!!!

[bcooper56]

Even though she will never be there he will always love her more than Lois.

[LoisJoanneKent]

Ok, WTF?!!! Now it REALLY looks like Lois is going to be the consolation prize! Second best for the woman he loves but can't have?! This is it! As of right now, Smallville is NOT related to Superman at all. This Clark Kent will never be the Superman we all know and love. He was actually going to kill Lex for Lana?! Please!!! What a waste of a good show!

edit: It's funny, this is my thread, but for some reason the newbie before me got all the credit! Anyways, yeah...whatever!

[cloisthelegendbegins]

Well I'm done shipping Clois on this show. There's NO WAY this Clark Kent can be looking at Lois one episode never mind three episodes after this crapfest.

[Larel]

Well said, Lana Lang was not & never will be the love of Clark Kent's life, LOIS IS & no matter what this show does to diminish that point it will never go away!!!!!!

This ep was a pathetic joke to the Superman legend!
Ok Clark go kill big bad Lex for your wittle girlfriend, GMAFB!:rolleyes:

[davidbrenton]

It did. But, at least it made the first 7 years worth watching. I look forward to how the writers will salvage Clois. I hope TW can pull that kind of emotion up with Lois. I REALLY DO. I've never seen that from him before.

[LucyK]

He doesn't deserve to walk in the same pathway as she. She's so much better than this ignorant fool.

[bcooper56]

He will move on to Lois but deep down he know he will always love Lana more and i feel said for Lois. :(

[Dyanara]

There is no CLois on this show and this show has nothing to do with the Comic Book...its official now

[paolinki25]

In all honesty, Lois Lane doesn't deserve this version of Clark Kent.

[VisionGirl]

You're going to put faith in the same writers that just served us THAT garbage?

[mariagabriela]

Well I'm done shipping Clois on this show.

Same here.

[liana]

The wort disappointment, for me, it is not so much about Clois, but about how they got Clark Kent all wrong in this show. Clark's life wasn't supposed to be the endless drama they made of it. He was supposed to be about light, happiness and hope. The endless drama is Bruce Wayne's life.

Their conception of Superman, is that he is only Superman because he didn't get the girl. Sad.

[myankskent]

Clois is dead to me. I will never be convinced of this relationship on Smallville. I don't care if TPTB have Clark fly Lois around the world 20 times.

[Timester]

They didn't cheapened Clois, they crapped on Clark.

Clark not be able to be with someone else but Lois is not even new, it's on the comics (Lori Lemaris). BUT Clark is back on step 1, the reason why he can't be with Lana is because the freaking Kryptonite. The EXACT same reason as the first episode of the entire show, the Pilot. Where is the growth?

[luvinChlark]

they pretty much did...Lois will just be Clark's rebound

[6-Super-Man -5]

I will miss Lana... I will say this now, I hope she comes back in Season Nine.
But Clark will get over Lana.

[redeem147]

I don't think so. I think that he was holding on to the past with someone with whom he was physically equal. You can always love someone and still love someone else.

It wasn't the resolution I would have written, but it's very hard to please all the shippers.

People do move on.

[paolinki25]

Well, I guess that was the "beautiful send-off" they always had in mind. Instead of having a normal, endearing goodbye, they gave once again something typical for Clark and Lana: A sad, depressing, "Lana is the martyr" of the world ending, which of course leaves Clark feeling like crap, guilty and always wondering "Where's Lana?". Lois? Lois Lane doesn't deserve this sad and awful version of Clark Kent. I've lost complete respect for this show.

[Hmm]

go read comic books or watch superman... when are you realize this is smallville ...

[theotherJane]

I call that ---the perfect 45 minutes to crap on the mythos!

[Timester]

I will miss Lana... I will say this now, I hope she comes back in Season Nine.

NO!!!

There will never be a closure for Clana. Let just move on and ignore that Clana ever happened, like they did on this episode.

[BriannaWithridge]

I still can't believe they did that...
I just can't...

[RowdyEl]

it would be cheaper if Clark just walked away from a girl he had shared his bed with and acted as though it meant nothing....I am sad that he lost his first true love like this....it does not cheapen the love he will have in Lois by any means,because when he does fall for her you know it is going to be forever!

[REebee52]

It's okay for someone to have a first love. It can be someone who will always be meaningful to the person, which Lana is even in the comics. What's important is that when Clark is with Lois, he doesn't wish to be with Lana, but wonders how he could have lived without Lois to begin with, and Smallville has not destroyed that possibility. This is not how I wanted their relationship to end, but it was poignant. I'm upset for some similar reasons as you (as well as the fact that Clark and Lana are still supposed to be friends, and now they can't even see each other! Also, this was kind of a cheap way out), but it does not mean that Clark will choose Lois second.

[liana]

they pretty much did...Lois will just be Clark's rebound

Actually, whoever comes after Lana will be his rebound. Hopefully, it won't be Lois or Chloe. Both of them deserve better than him.

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

Yeah, I'm with all u guys! They totally destroyed Clois! I dunno how they expect us to accept and believe Clois after that "Closure".

Yeah and Like someone else said...They kinda destroyed Clark Kent! I Did not see Clark Kent show up in the last few episodes.

[dru-zod2501]

I feel bad for everyone who wasn't a Clana shipper. Clana-ers finally got theirs after 8 years of on-and-off.

There's no way in heaven, hell, Asgard, anywhere, that SVLois could be seen as SVClark's #1 choice it's not possible. Lois could never live up to Lana in Clark's mind

[DontCha]

his rebound? NOT if he gives her the bracelet :)

[Dyanara]

Which is why Lois will have to be the love of his life on everything else except Smallville.
If they bring Lois back pining for Clark I officially will give up on this show

[LoisJoanneKent]

Hmm, you're new here so I'm going to take it easy on you, but do you realize that Smallville...IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ORIGINGS OF HOW CLARK KENT BECOMES SUPERMAN?!!!And do you know that Superman's soulmate since the first time Superman was created is LOIS LANE?!!!

[TWNik]

No other relationship has any credibility after tonight with Lana.

Clark certainly showed he doesn't love Lois & even Chloe/Clark have more history for him to move on, but even that isn't too credible.

[Timester]

go read comic books or watch superman... when are you realize this is smallville ...

Even Smallville is bound to rules, or else they wouldn't move to Clois again on the upcoming episodes...

[liana]

Yeah, I'm with all u guys! They totally destroyed Clois! I dunno how they expect us to accept and believe Clois after that "Closure".

That wasn't closure. That was a Romeo and Juliet type of ending. I am surprised they refrained from making them kill themselves... Probably only because DC wouldn't allow them. :rolleyes: But maybe that was the perfect ending after all: as unhealthy as their romantic relationship always have been. :\

[Larel]

I feel bad for everyone who wasn't a Clana shipper. Clana-ers finally got theirs after 8 years of on-and-off.

There's no way in heaven, hell, Asgard, anywhere, that SVLois could be seen as SVClark's #1 choice it's not possible. Lois could never live up to Lana in Clark's mind




No SV Lois can't BUT we all know that SHE WAS the love of his life in every other version & the ones that matter are those not a show about the "younger years" of CK!!

SV changed history tonight & they can effin suck it big time for that, they think we are all fools & don't know history then they are dumber than I could even imagine!:rolleyes:

[curiosity]

I feel bad for everyone who wasn't a Clana shipper. Clana-ers finally got theirs after 8 years of on-and-off.

That's not true. Lana is all he knew, once he starts dating Lois, he'll realize she's the one.

[Unsound]

They effectively killed Superman for me, and anything to do with Clois in this arc. Clark does not and will NEVER be worthy of Lois now, period. It took five episodes to regress Clark to the same character we met in the series premiere. He went from the bold, take charge Clark who was actually HAPPY with his life for a change (and rapidly falling for Lois) then reverted to the whiny, mopey, pathetic, gutless, Clark Kent who was constantly ga-ga for Lana Lang. And to make it worse, in the premiere he couldn't be near her because she was wearing a Kryptonite necklace, now she IS the Kryptonite. COMPLETE. CHARACTER. REGRESSION. What happened to the past eight years? Gone in a blink. Every point of character progression he ever made was cast aside and, essentially, stomped upon. This is unsalvageable. I feel no pity for this Clark. He will never deserve Lois. He will never be Superman. Truly, deeply disappointed in the way this played out. Disgusted, even. So long, mythos. So long, Superman.

[Alaska Young]

All Lois will ever be to this Clark is a shoulder to cry on.

[VisionGirl]

The sad part is I've read 20-odd fanfics that handled this Lana entrance with more class and ability than these PAID writers managed to pull off.

How in the name of God could they consider this good storytelling? Not only does it insult the source material (these aren't YOUR characters to destroy), but it's shoddy work inside its own infrastructure.

[Rival X The Great]

they pulled a handcock move man. He can't be with the girl cause he'll die if they stay together. What a load of crap. Thank you Smallville for destroying the Superman mythos. I'm just sticking with Heroes for now on. I hope there isn't a season 9. I hope Tom gets to be Superman in the reboot.

[curiosity]

Which is why Lois will have to be the love of his life on everything else except Smallville.
If they bring Lois back pining for Clark I officially will give up on this show

Not me, Clark just hasn't experienced real love yet. If all you ever had to eat was hamburger, are you saying once you had steak you wouldn't like it better? Think about it. Use real logic.

[Clark-Lois]

i was absolutely furious when i watched this episode. now it looks as if Lois is the rebound Girl and i'm sorry, but Lois most certainly is not a rebound girl. as much as i dislike Lana, they need to bring her back for a PROPER closure. if it wasn't for the fact that Lois is coming back, i would stop watching smallville, yes even after being a devoted follower for 8 years.

My only hope is that they redeem themselves and give us the most amazing Cloisness we've ever seen. nothing short of that will help them now. maybe that's what they wanted. I guess Tom doesn't want to come back so they wanted to turn everyone away from the show so they didn't have people contacting them, wanting more.

Idk, anyway, i will give this next episode a chance before i actually commit to not watching smallville. my only question is this If clark is supposed to look lovingly into Lois's eyes in the next ep how will that work when clearly, he isn't over Lana. what he is going to wake up one day and be like. "I'm over Lana and i love Lois." i don't think so. i'm kinda interested to see how this is going to work.

[Hmm]

Hmm, you're new here so I'm going to take it easy on you, but do you realize that Smallville...IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ORIGINGS OF HOW CLARK KENT BECOMES SUPERMAN?!!!And do you know that Superman's soulmate since the first time Superman was created is LOIS LANE?!!!

i don't care how the mythos was, this is how this show is and it will always be about clana...

[Larel]

All Lois will ever be to this Clark is a shoulder to cry on.



Fortunately every Superman fan in the world knows differently LOIS is the LOVE OF HIS LIFE!
If SV wants to sh!t all over that let them, they look like the fools here!

[Carolina87]

Cheapened doesn't even begin to describe to what these horrible writers have done to Clois :mad::mad::mad:

[ManOfSteel87]

We can all be in agreement now that PS3 have completely screwed any future Clois relationship, but what about what they have done to Oliver as well? They've turned him into a blackmailing killer. He killed Lex (although I'm not completely convinced that he will remain dead), and then blackmailed Chloe into not telling Clark. They've really screwed this show right now. Thank God it's over now, and come next week it will be as if none of this has happened and they will pick back up where they left off before Lana destroyed this show!

[DontCha]

Peeps gotta remember that clark hasnt actually fallen in LOVE with Lois lane yet. He has feelings for her but just wait for the moment he actually falls hard, he will realize that Lana was nothing in comparison.

[petewillreturn]

It depends how the viewer wants to interpret or imagine the story. That is the great part of fiction. I don’t mind that the writers give Clana fans enough for their ship to sail. What I do mind is Clana fans thinking I have to think that. For me yes Clark will always have a place for Lana, but Lois will always be the love of his life.

[Larel]

i don't care how the mythos was, this is how this show is and it will always be about clana...



The Superman Legend was never about Clana ok, it was about Clark Kent first & foremost as a simple man with super power's who overcame alot to take control of his destiny & become Superman & fall in love with THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE........Lois Lane!

[paolinki25]

They didn't cheapened Clois, they crapped on Clark.

Clark not be able to be with someone else but Lois is not even new, it's on the comics (Lori Lemaris). BUT Clark is back on step 1, the reason why he can't be with Lana is because the freaking Kryptonite. The EXACT same reason as the first episode of the entire show, the Pilot. Where is the growth?

Exactly. Forget Clois (They had already damaged it by last episode), they crapped all over Clark. This "sweet irony" or whatever "excellent idea!" they thought this was completely backfired. This goodbye destroyed the great progress Clark had made this season. It regressed him to the same school boy we saw in season 1. No hope for him whatsoever.

If this show was about Clana, about some high school crossover lovers, then why the hell did they disguise it as the story of Clark Kent's journey? Don't fool Superman fans like that with this crap. It's insulting.

[BriannaWithridge]

It's okay for someone to have a first love. It can be someone who will always be meaningful to the person, which Lana is even in the comics. What's important is that when Clark is with Lois, he doesn't wish to be with Lana, but wonders how he could have lived without Lois to begin with, and Smallville has not destroyed that possibility. This is not how I wanted their relationship to end, but it was poignant.

Also, this was kind of a cheap way out), but it does not mean that Clark will choose Lois second.


Well, I agree with you!
He thinks now that he can't love anyone else. We think he can't love anyone else like he loved Lana, but that's the thing: he will love Lois in a different way. Without drama, sacrifices, secrets and lies. He actually will now how is to be HAPPY in a relationship. Because let's face, Clark was never able to be completely happy with Lana.
I'm mad about what a I saw and for what they did with Clark, but I really don't think that Clois is tainted.

[Hugo]

Respectfully, I don't think it does, I'm a Clois shipper as well and while I'm not a Clana fan I found this episode to be very romantic, sad and tender. I dated a woman who I'd fallen in love with and then broken up with much later. I then found love again. It is very possible to fall in love with more than one individual after having your heart broken. Smallville may be in Season 8 but Clark is just started his superhero career in "the big city" he still has along way to go. The relationship with Lois that he has eventually will help get him their. I don't think he's their yet. What Lex did some would consider to be very cruel, malicious, nasty and evil. He was emotional and reacted as such but in the end if Lana had stopped him or not he wouldn't have taken Lex's life, had he caught him Clark would have put him in jali, that's not who he is and I believe he would have seen that.

[Hmm]

Peeps gotta remember that clark hasnt actually fallen in LOVE with Lois lane yet. He has feelings for her but just wait for the moment he actually falls hard, he will realize that Lana was nothing in comparison.

ahahahha :lol: i'm sorry, i just felt sorry for you guys :rotfl:

[VisionGirl]

Peeps gotta remember that clark hasnt actually fallen in LOVE with Lois lane yet. He has feelings for her but just wait for the moment he actually falls hard, he will realize that Lana was nothing in comparison.

He knew about Lois' feelings and blatantly disregarded them. For a woman who is psychotic.

He doesn't deserve Lois.

[REebee52]

Not me, Clark just hasn't experienced real love yet. If all you ever had to eat was hamburger, are you saying once you had steak you wouldn't like it better? Think about it. Use real logic.

EXACTLY! Good analogy!
Lana is a hamburger. Perhaps a very good, gourmet hamburger, but it's all Clark's had. It's fine that he's upset about losing her, all that matters is that later on he'll realize he loves Lois more. Smallville has not neglected this as a possibility in any form or fashion.

[doodie8808]

i think that was the perfect ending for them they are posion to each other and since clark is not superman he will not realize that but he will get over lana and on to lois because she is a totally different element to lana two different woman but in smallville of course he loves he stalked her for years but if it was not lex it would be something else to pull them apart! it is just not meant to be but lois is not in love with clark either she loves him yes as clark loves her and chloe he has romantic feeling for her but they both don't understand them!

[RowdyEl]

and Clark isn't second fiddle to Lois? she has fallen for 3 guys till realized that Clark is the one for her....why can't that rule be established for Clark as well!

[skylar]

PS3 really did a number on this one!! Clois will never be the same.
Lois needs to never talk to Clark again.

[rosalba]

wow! they did it ...they destroyed our clois ship!, and is unfixable!

[unfocused]

We can all be in agreement that PS3 screwed Clois? Lol, wrong.

[REebee52]

they pulled a handcock move man. He can't be with the girl cause he'll die if they stay together. What a load of crap. Thank you Smallville for destroying the Superman mythos. I'm just sticking with Heroes for now on. I hope there isn't a season 9. I hope Tom gets to be Superman in the reboot.

Ewww. Heroes? That show was become absolute dreck lately. Never has a show started so strongly and lost my interest.

As to your other point, this is kind of Handcock-ish...

[VisionGirl]

and Clark isn't second fiddle to Lois? she has fallen for 3 guys till realized that Clark is the one for her....why can't that rule be established for Clark as well!

She was only in love with Oliver.

And she wasn't in some 9 year epic-emo nonsense of a relationship that only ended because it would mean CERTAIN DEATH.

I think Lois and Oliver is actually the perfect example of a relationship with actual mature closure.

Not this drivel.

[myankskent]

Peeps gotta remember that clark hasnt actually fallen in LOVE with Lois lane yet. He has feelings for her but just wait for the moment he actually falls hard, he will realize that Lana was nothing in comparison.

I just don't buy that. Not anymore. I also don't buy a Lois Lane who would be perfectly ok with being with a guy who loves another girl so much but can't be with her physically.

[DontCha]

He knew about Lois' feelings and blatantly disregarded them. For a woman who is psychotic.

He doesn't deserve Lois.

Then this would indicate they are setting up the classic chase

Lois would think so too and he will have to prove to her that he loves her, and make it up to her beyond belief. She will think she is above him because right now SHE IS.

[tbird4u]

I am a clois fan.. yes still am... and I dont agree with that!!

[amberdawn]

Yeah, Clois is pretty much dead to me on this show.

[VisionGirl]

Then this would indicate they are setting up the classic chase

Lois would think so too and he will have to prove to her that he loves her, and make it up to her beyond belief. She, will think she is above him. because right now SHE IS.

Except this time none of us will be rooting for him...

[ManOfSteel87]

How have they not, though? Even if there is never any Clois on this show, she will always be the one Clark had to settle for because he couldn't be with Lana due to the Kryptonite no matter when Clois happens in the Smallville universe.

I'm a Clois fan too, but right now I don't see how Clois has not been ruined. Hopefully they can pull something out.

Anyways, back to the original question. Are they taking Oliver in the right direction with the murder of Lex and the blackmailling of Chloe?

[amberdawn]

Clois is dead to me.

[chumpy]

She was only in love with Oliver.

And she wasn't in some 9 year epic-emo nonsense of a relationship that only ended because it would mean CERTAIN DEATH.

I think Lois and Oliver is actually the perfect example of a relationship with actual mature closure.

Not this drivel.

And let's also remember that once Lois developed feelings for Clark she wasn't back with Oliver the next episode. As you said, she'd moved on. Bride clearly showed Clark developing feelings for Lois and one episode later he's back with Lana. Ridiculous.

I just can't see them pulling off clois after this epic failure.

[DontCha]

unless clark flat out realizes on screen in the Smallville universe that Lois is actually THE ONE..

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

"what if my soulmate comes along and i'm too blind to see it?" and Lois is standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM IN THAT SCENE

right now he is blind to her, but his eyes WILL open. They have clearly indicated in that scene that it is LOIS and he just needs to realize it.

He knows right there and then that it is NOT Lana its someone else

[thehenry89]

Lois is too good for this fool.

[tbird4u]

Except this time none of use will be rooting for him...

I will be.. I still have faith they will fix this ... its going to happen ...and it can still happen!!

[WickedJenn]

And let's also remember that once Lois developed feelings for Clark she wasn't back with Oliver the next episode. As you said, she'd moved on. Bride clearly showed Clark developing feelings for Lois and one episode later he's back with Lana. Ridiculous.

I just can't see them pulling off clois after this epic failure.

I'm with you chumpy.

[luvinChlark]

Actually, whoever comes after Lana will be his rebound. Hopefully, it won't be Lois or Chloe. Both of them deserve better than him.

True and agreed. Anyone Clark chooses will just be seconds. Just thinking ahead with certain spoilers, idk even know... I actually can't believe PS3 did this. Why couldn't Clana just decide they don't belong together? Why in the world did PS3 think it's best for them to be ripped apart? just plain horrible.

[worthwhile]

Uh, they ruined Clois by making Clark what he is, it isn't just "oh Lois is 2nd best now boo hoo"

[BriannaWithridge]

Except this time none of use will be rooting for him...


And it's fine for me.
I always rooted for Clark in other midias...Now I want Lois makes him suffer. Will be perfect!

[TayLaneBloom]

Clois is still the best damn thing in this show.

doesn't mather how much they bring up the CLana thing, CLOIS will last forever.

Clark may love Lana now, and suffer for her, and cry till his eyeballs fall off, but let's face it, Clark can fall in love as fast as he can run, and forget that love just as fast.

he forgot about Lana a thousand times before, has forgot about Alicia just a few seconds after she died, forgot about that Indian girl, and its not just love interest he forgets amazingly fast, family too!
like he forget about Kara when she disappear, forget about his father no much long after he died, forget about Jor-el, about Lara......

he forgets, and than find a new love, just as fast as a speeding bullet.
so... i'm not worried at all.

[Rival X The Great]

Ewww. Heroes? That show was become absolute dreck lately. Never has a show started so strongly and lost my interest.

As to your other point, this is kind of Handcock-ish...

What are you serious? Heroes is still going strong better than Smallville.

[SmallvilleMan]

He ends up with her........That's that needs to be known.......He doesn't marry him because he wants to get over Lana........Or for any other reason then him loving her.

[Cogito17]

Lana is the only love Clark has ever known, therefore he has no comparison. If he falls for Lois on the show, all he has to say is, "I thought I knew what love was with Lana, but I've never felt like this before" and badaboom, Lois > Lana, and they all lived happily ever after.

He loves Lana, but just because he loves Lana at this point, doesn't mean he can't love Lois more in the future or develop feelings for Lois that are STRONGER than what he felt for Lana. I don't understand what the big deal is, no matter HOW lovestruck Clark is with Lana, all they have to do is portray his love for Lois as being greater.

[KneelBeforeZod!]

Clois is still the best damn thing in this show.

doesn't mather how much they bring up the CLana thing, CLOIS will last forever.

Clark may love Lana now, and suffer for her, and cry till his eyeballs fall off, but let's face it, Clark can fall in love as fast as he can run, and forget that love just as fast.

so... i'm not worried at all.


hilarious!!!:rotfl: but true :D

[VisionGirl]

Yeah, well they just need to do a LOT of things on this show and it would be better. But they don't.

[dru-zod2501]

Hmm, you're new here so I'm going to take it easy on you, but do you realize that Smallville...IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ORIGINGS OF HOW CLARK KENT BECOMES SUPERMAN?!!!And do you know that Superman's soulmate since the first time Superman was created is LOIS LANE?!!!
yeah, yeah, we know, but you have to understand WHAT WE SEE ON SCREEN DOES NOT MAKE SENSE WITH WHAT WE KNOW???

If you think the Clois is on track then more power to you. I'm not the only one who sees it as flawed, skewed, and just POORLY DONE

[darkone]

He loves Lana, but just because he loves Lana at this point, doesn't mean he can't love Lois more in the future or develop feelings for Lois that are STRONGER than what he felt for Lana

He just withstand kryptonite to kiss Lana. He turned back time to save her. How the heck do you wanna show that? Well, sure they can make Clark say such a line but would you believe that?

[melissan02]

Oh TPTB have TOTALLY screwed up CLOIS....they don't even need to do it now on SV!!:\


As for Ollie, well, I LOVE him!! At least you know where he stands!! He kept his manhood in tact despite being in Lana's presence!! Unlike Clark!! :mad:
Good for him!!

[Cogito17]

Why wouldn't I?

[BriannaWithridge]

Clois is still the best damn thing in this show.

Tay !:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[LiLViLLiaN]

Then again in order for me to move on from my last ex-boyfriend I had to date another which is now my current whom I fell in love with more so then my ex.

So, Clois will still happen, eventually. :)

[Rival X The Great]

He just withstand kryptonite to kiss Lana. He turned back time to save her. How the heck do you wanna show that? Well, sure they can make Clark say such a line but would you believe that?

Clark will rewind time by spinning the earth for Lois.

[outsyder]

I'd have to agree, Clois has lost all credibility whatsoever.

Lois is now little more than a consolation prize next to the "selfless person who will be remembered for all ages" that is Lana.

[morrigan01]

And it's fine for me.
I always rooted for Clark in other midias...Now I want Lois makes him suffer. Will be perfect!

I can't believe I actually have reach this point, but I am so with you on this.

Clark chasing Lois, and Lois full up putting him off because she refuses to be seconds to Lana. (After all, she's been around for most of that roller coaster, as she's said herself).

And Clark's going to have to really, seriously stop regressing and grow up before I maybe even CONSIDER rooting for him to get Lois. Because I'm firmly on the side of "much suffering for Clark". *crosses arms*

[SmallvilleMan]

Clark will rewind time by spinning the earth for Lois

He did it for Lana too.

[darkone]

Clark will rewind time by spinning the earth for Lois.

Yeah we know he did that in the mythology. In Smallville? He did it with Lana.

[tbird4u]

Ok I think cloisers need to step back and take a deep breathe... It makes me really sad when cloisers turn on each other :( :( come on guys and as for clana fans who I guess get AMUSEMENT out of coming into a thread where clois fans are truly upset and saying things that just is gonna pi*s fans off that is not cool..why do it?

[Hez]

TayLaneBloom: You're right. They will make Clark fall in love with Lois in 3 episodes, but it won't be GOOD. it won't be believable, and it won't be realistic. I was really hoping that Clark and Lana would come to a mature understanding and separate because they just had grown up and realized they weren't for each other. That would have been satisfying. I don't know why they worked hard for the last season to get us all to be rooting for Lois and Clark, and to want them together, and then tore it down by making it clear clark really wants Lana instead. Bad! Bad writers!

[Alexander III]

Clark and Lois would've been OK if smallville had let ME write the script and directed it. Too bad they didn't hire me and now CLOIS is screwed over BIG TIME!!! :lol:

[ManOfSteel87]

Oh TPTB have TOTALLY screwed up CLOIS....they don't even need to do it now on SV!!:\


As for Ollie, well, I LOVE him!! At least you know where he stands!! He kept his manhood in tact despite being in Lana's presence!! Unlike Clark!! :mad:
Good for him!!

LOL, good point!

[TayLaneBloom]

He just withstand kryptonite to kiss Lana. He turned back time to save her. How the heck do you wanna show that? Well, sure they can make Clark say such a line but would you believe that?


and just because she loves one girl now, and she left, he'll never love anyone else again?

theres diferent types of love.
Lana was his first love, is only right he'll want to be with her, and will cry for her now.
but firsts loves don't usually last forever. Clark will never fotget about Lana, and what they went thru together, but that doesn't mean he wont love anyone else ever again.

wake up! she left, he'll cry, he'll get over it. that's how things work in real life. and that's what he did the first time she left.

[myankskent]

He loves Lana, but just because he loves Lana at this point, doesn't mean he can't love Lois more in the future or develop feelings for Lois that are STRONGER than what he felt for Lana.


But the point is, we'll never know if those feelings are stronger. TPTB made a mockery of this whole situation. For 7 and a half years, Clark wanted to be with Lana. No matter what happened between them, they found their way back to each other. Now, how did TPTB take care of this? Kryptonite. Now, Clark is forced to live his life without the girl that he really wants and now, Lois is going to look like Clark's second option, no matter what. I'm not going to say rebound because they might not get together right away, but TPTB failed to show a Clark Kent who didn't want to be with Lana Lang. For a relationship that is supposed to be as epic as Clois, it will never look that way on Smallville. Clana, on the other hand...

[tippership commander]

unless clark flat out realizes on screen in the Smallville universe that Lois is actually THE ONE..

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

"what if my soulmate comes along and i'm too blind to see it?" and Lois is standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM IN THAT SCENE

right now he is blind to her, but his eyes WILL open. They have clearly indicated in that scene that it is LOIS and he just needs to realize it.

He knows right there and then that it is NOT Lana its someone elsethat's what happened in the comics, yep..

ALL you guys complaining that this show is FINISHED< are fools who jumped the gun.

in that, i've been watching since season 4, and on't watch it only for the relationships

look, truthfully, CLois hadnt started..

ti was YOU guys who said they were pushing it too fast..
but wha tyou didnt realize is that it hadn't started yet

[B_M4N]

I used to really like Lois but after reading some of these comments I can't stand her any more a few of you act like the whole point of Smallville is to move Clark to the point where he and Lois get married even though in most cases she falls in love with Superman and not so much Clark in the first place and it turns out this show IS NOT about Superman it's about Clark.

Also has there ever really been a moment where you say wow Clark really loves Lois or is it more Lois has a crush on Clark and he doesn't feel the same way about it yet. That's why they should have waited til about season 6 or 7 to bring Lois in that would have made things more natural.

I guess my main point is you act like it's a suprise Clark loves Lana so much even though right at the very start of Smallville he said he loved her from the first moment he laid eyes on her and because they follow through on that the entire series you get all mad that he doesn't immediately fall in love with Lois who is kind of a jerk to him on occasions I guess I just don't get it.

[Dyanara]

I won't be rooting for Clois anymore when it comes to this show. Only in the movies.

[tbird4u]

I agreed with you till you took that little jab at lois^

[VisionGirl]

Also - Lana is psychotic. She blackmails people, goes on crazy revenge benders, kills herself to see her dead parents, propositions Clark while pregnant with another man's baby, and puts herself in crazy superpower suits to feel important.

If this is Clark's type, he's barking up the wrong tree with Lois.

[SmallvilleMan]

For a relationship that is supposed to be as epic as Clois, it will never look that way on Smallville. Clana, on the other hand...

Why should it look that way on Smallville? Clana is Smallville, while Clois gets everything else.......It's like if someone were to be mad at the cubs winning a series.

[Dyanara]

As for turning back time, in the movies Superman goes against his father's wishes to spin the freakin world backwards for her.

[BriannaWithridge]

He just withstand kryptonite to kiss Lana. He turned back time to save her. How the heck do you wanna show that? Well, sure they can make Clark say such a line but would you believe that?

I think Clark loves Lana and always will. She was his first love and what they share was strong. But this doesn't mean that Clark can't love anyone else. Love is not something predefined. You don't love everybody in your life in the same way.
The love that Clark will have for Lois e completely different for the one he had for Lana.
Like the way Lois loved Ollie is different for the way she'll love Clark. Like the way Lana loved Lex was different for the way she loves Clark.

[SmallvilleMan]

Also - Lana is psychotic. She blackmails people, goes on crazy revenge benders, kills herself to see her dead parents, propositions Clark while pregnant with another man's baby, and puts herself in crazy superpower suits to feel important.

Incorrect.........

[B_M4N]

tbird-If you are talking to me I didn't mean it as a jab or anything I just think in some cases she really gets on Clark about certain things in some episodes so it seems more like a friend type of thing rather then out of love.

Also great point about Lois and Oliver she really loved him and that's ok but because Clark loves Lana he is being dumb or not acting like Superman why do we need the double standard. I think it's safe to say most of you have loved someone else and it didn't work out so you moved lon and fell in love with another person so does thaty mean you love either one any less?

[amberdawn]

I used to really like Lois but after reading some of these comments I can't stand her any more a few of you act like the whole point of Smallville is to move Clark to the point where he and Lois get married even though in most cases she falls in love with Superman and not so much Clark in the first place and it turns out this show IS NOT about Superman it's about Clark.
First of all, in the newer comics, canon is that Lois fell for Clark, not Superman, so you're wrong there. And second, Superman and Clark are one in the same, so the "Clark isn't Superman yet" argument doesn't fly.

[KEakaCK]

To me, the issue isn't that they cheapened clois. It's the fact that the writers had Clark just simply dismiss Lois after their near fated kiss in Bride and show no respect for the character of Lois.

[VisionGirl]

Incorrect.........

Which one didn't happen? They all did.

[Mickey_Bickey]

NO!!!

There will never be a closure for Clana. Let just move on and ignore that Clana ever happened, like they did on this episode.


I agree. Keep Lana away. I honestly cannot stand watching her again on this show. Clark looked like a bafoon!!

You called it, Bruno!! I'm glad though, because I didn't get my hopes up high. We'll see how they handle Clois after this. I don't think they'll get them together actually. Perhaps that was their intention all along.

Bottom line, this was downright embarrassing for Clark's character.

[HumanoidCorvin]

Clark is a *****.

[BriannaWithridge]

I can't believe I actually have reach this point, but I am so with you on this.

Clark chasing Lois, and Lois full up putting him off because she refuses to be seconds to Lana. (After all, she's been around for most of that roller coaster, as she's said herself).

And Clark's going to have to really, seriously stop regressing and grow up before I maybe even CONSIDER rooting for him to get Lois. Because I'm firmly on the side of "much suffering for Clark". *crosses arms*

I couldn't believe I was reaching this point either, but after today I'll be happy everytime Lois turns him down. He needs to convince Lois and US that she is not second to anyone.

[Hez]

[QUOTE=Cogito17;4432798]Lana is the only love Clark has ever known, therefore he has no comparison. If he falls for Lois on the show, all he has to say is, "I thought I knew what love was with Lana, but I've never felt like this before" and badaboom, Lois > Lana, and they all lived happily ever after.


That is a very good thought. I really hope the writers are as clever as you are, and also that they don't make it happen overnight. that would be really stupid.

[BadToad]

Cheapened? No, obliterated! But hey, they pretty much obliterated any happy romantic future for Clark. Period. I know this seems wrong to Lois fans, but the reality is that she'll be fine. Her feelings for Clark are very new, and she can easily get past them, and she should. She'll be OK. In no way did they taint a future that could possibly lay ahead of her. It just shouldn't be with Clark.

OTH, for Clark? He'll be devastated forever because he can't be with Lana. Because for these showrunners? Everything is about Lana. And even Clark doesn't matter as much. And thats....boy, there's something very, very wrong with that.

[Cogito17]

But the point is, we'll never know if those feelings are stronger. TPTB made a mockery of this whole situation. For 7 and a half years, Clark wanted to be with Lana. No matter what happened between them, they found their way back to each other. Now, how did TPTB take care of this? Kryptonite.

For a relationship that is supposed to be as epic as Clois, it will never look that way on Smallville. Clana, on the other hand...

I still think its possible to show Clark's feelings for Lois being stronger. I agree, at this point its impossible to show him going through all of the things that he has gone through for Lana with Lois. But, on the other hand, if they start developping feelings for one another, all Clark has to say is that he hasn't felt this way before, or state that it's stronger than his connection with Lana.

I think the full scale demonstrations of their feeling for each other falls more in the "Superman" territory anyways. It would take another 8 seasons worth of the show to match everything Clark and Lana have been through, but thats not the point. I think the point is to set the stage for a relationship that will eventually trump Clark and Lana's, which I think is still extremely possible.

[ManOfSteel87]

that's what happened in the comics, yep..

ALL you guys complaining that this show is FINISHED< are fools who jumped the gun.

in that, i've been watching since season 4, and on't watch it only for the relationships

look, truthfully, CLois hadnt started..

ti was YOU guys who said they were pushing it too fast..
but wha tyou didnt realize is that it hadn't started yet

I've never said the show was finished. I've been watching the show since the pilot and don't watch it for the ships either. However, it is hard to not get involved with them b/c they are so much apart of this show. Everyone knows Clois is the future, but it will be hard to accept after Lois was basically made Clark second choice since he can't be with Lana (unless the writers pull something to change this perception).

Clois might not have "officially" started, but they had begun building it this season. If they were going to pull this, they shouldn't have started building it like they did. I never said it was being pushed to fast either. Really, it was 4 years in the making and really took off this year IMO.

Don't really know if you were actually refering to me, but though I would give my opinion anyways.

[B_M4N]

First of all, in the newer comics, canon is that Lois fell for Clark, not Superman, so you're wrong there. And second, Superman and Clark are one in the same, so the "Clark isn't Superman yet" argument doesn't fly.

I guess I'm more of an old school type of guy but I still think that if they changed that around in these newer comics why can't the writers make changes on how they want things to go?

[newfamfan]

I am a huge clana fan. I always will be since seeing the first episode of this show. That will never change.

However, Clois was not ruined due to this send off of Clana's love. As a fan of clana, I ,of course ,was swept away. However, I am not blind enough to see that some day Clark and Lana both will move on from each other because they have to. Does that make Clois less? I guess you have to ask yourself that in a reality scenario that if a person loses a lover/spouse to death then the next person they fall in love with is lesser. I think not. It is different. Stronger...??? Not sure. But the love can be equal. Would the person wish that things could be different? OF course for a while...but after finding a new love, I'm sure the person puts behind them feelings and opens up to someone new to own their heart just as Clark will to Lois.

The comics are full of Lois vs. Lana and some show Superman still caring deeply for Lana but has moved on to his wife Lois. Some show that he loved Lana more. (Some out of world comics) These types of comics even show Lana gaining superpowers as Clark has to help him..where she ultimately sacrifices her self for Clark and it ends in death. All these comics and SV show a different interpretation of Clark Kent's life and loves. SV shows how deeply that Clark can love by his and Lana's relationship. To say he can not love again is wrong. He will. I am sure....even as a diehard clana fan...he will love Lois intensely as well.

As far as Oliver....I don't believe for a minute Lex is dead....but he is very vengeful at the moment...he thinks that killing Lex will solve a lot of problems...remember he saw the damage Lex was doing long before Clark faced it. But I think this is SV's way of bringing in a character like the Dark Knight aka Batman. His vengeful, take control for the greater good attitude fits. Even Oliver's relationship with Clark reminds me of the Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent of the comic world.

So I think TPB are doing similar interpretaions with a slight twist that the comic world has already visited.

[SmallvilleMan]

Also - Lana is psychotic. She blackmails people, goes on crazy revenge benders, kills herself to see her dead parents, propositions Clark while pregnant with another man's baby, and puts herself in crazy superpower suits to feel important.

Crazy revenge benders? No.........Propositions Clark while pregnant, no.........Suit to feel important no........

Word.

[myankskent]

This is what it boils down to for me regarding Clois....What do you think Lois Lane would say if she found out that after a near kiss with Clark Kent, he then went on to start a relationship with Lana Lang where he kissed her a bunch of times(on the DP roof included but let's leave that out), had sex with her and then was forced to breakup with her because she had kryptonite in her skin? Do you think that Lois Lane would ever consider a relationship with this guy?

[SmallvilleMan]

I guess I'm more of an old school type of guy but I still think that if they changed that around in these newer comics why can't the writers make changes on how they want things to go?

Because they don't change it the way people want it to go;)

[Alania]

I agree. Keep Lana away. I honestly cannot stand watching her again on this show. Clark looked like a bafoon!!

You called it, Bruno!! I'm glad though, because I didn't get my hopes up high. We'll see how they handle Clois after this. I don't think they'll get them together actually. Perhaps that was their intention all along.

Bottom line, this was downright embarrassing for Clark's character.


Bafoon....You actually made me gigle a little here after all that havoc in our feelings, Michele! They better start worshiping the ground Lois Lane walks on and make Clark Kent worthy of her.

[Mickey_Bickey]

Clois is still the best damn thing in this show.

doesn't mather how much they bring up the CLana thing, CLOIS will last forever.

Clark may love Lana now, and suffer for her, and cry till his eyeballs fall off, but let's face it, Clark can fall in love as fast as he can run, and forget that love just as fast.

he forgot about Lana a thousand times before, has forgot about Alicia just a few seconds after she died, forgot about that Indian girl, and its not just love interest he forgets amazingly fast, family too!
like he forget about Kara when she disappear, forget about his father no much long after he died, forget about Jor-el, about Lara......

he forgets, and than find a new love, just as fast as a speeding bullet.
so... i'm not worried at all.


It's absolutely true! I'm looking forward to those promo pictures actually!:D;)

I think that this arc was utterly embarrassing, and it's not something the writers are going to want to mention again I'm sure! So, I think we're in the clear now.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----


Bafoon....You actually made me gigle a little here after all that havoc in our feelings, Michele! They better start worshiping the ground Lois Lane walks on and make Clark Kent worthy of her.


They will, Alania! I'm glad I could make you gigle! It's going to be Clark being interested in Lois this time, but we won't have her being a distraction to him. We'll see his progression just like we did up until Legion.

[98chase]

Then again in order for me to move on from my last ex-boyfriend I had to date another which is now my current whom I fell in love with more so then my ex.

So, Clois will still happen, eventually. :)

That has happened to a lot of people, in real life. But, apparently stuff that happens in real life is too unrealistic to happen in a science fiction television show. That one has to wait months/years to realize that they have found a better person. I don't think that, but apparently "Clois" is ruined.

With that said, I'm not happy with how the end of Clana was portrayed. I always hoped that it would be a mutual and mature decision. I hate how it was forced.

[VisionGirl]

Crazy revenge benders? No.........Propositions Clark while pregnant, no.........Suit to feel important no........


Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Watch Wrath -- crazy revenge bender on Lex. Propositions Clark - So she DIDN'T try to get back with him when she was engaged? Yes she did and then he told her he knew about the baby. Suit to feel important -- that was the WHOLE premise of last week's episode. She went through a bunch of psycho training so she could withstand super powers.

So like I said. All true.

[melissan02]

Just remember you guys....(*I give credit to k-site member, Timester, for this one...)

Soulmates are bound to be together...NOT seperated from each other!!


Brings a smile to your face doesn't it?;)

[TayLaneBloom]

in Smallville they showed the hole progression of Clanas love.
from the beginning, thru the suffering part, the unconditional love, until it's final break up. it's a love story with a beginning and an end.

other way, CLOIS love has a beginning, that will be showed in Smallville, even if it's just the flirtation part, but it never comes to an end. So, people can't expet to see the hole relationship developing in Smallville.
Smallville it's just the beginning, and everyone knows that will last forever.

[morrigan01]

This is what it boils down to for me regarding Clois....What do you think Lois Lane would say if she found out that after a near kiss with Clark Kent, he then went on to start a relationship with Lana Lang where he kissed her a bunch of times(on the DP roof included but let's leave that out), had sex with her and then was forced to breakup with her because she had kryptonite in her skin? Do you think that Lois Lane would ever consider a relationship with this guy?

No, she wouldn't.

But here's the thing - Lois only slightly tired to start something with Clark in "Bride" - the episode where Lana came back. She didn't try at all before, even when she really started to accept her feeling for him after "Committed."

My hope is that when we do see Lois again, and from having seen Lana come back, she's already dismissed the idea of being with Clark at this point anyway from that. *crosses fingers*

[cborys]

Very true, we are still looking at the young adult clark, not superman!!!! The clois relationship has not yet reached to beginning, he is still making mistakes (Lana). There is eight years of love for lana from clark, for him, its hard to pick anyone else right now. although these mistakes are crucial to him following his path and eventually becoming the man of steel

although it might seem that lois is the rebound, at least she isn't the mistake.:cool:

[Kid Collins]

NO.

Soulmates in this show are Clark and Lana!!

I remember reading this a little while ago....

The most memorable couples in books or films are couples that don't end up together!

The samples the article mentioned are, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Romeo and Juliet, Titanic.

And now we can add that amazing ending for Clana!! KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!
EPIC!!

Suit to feel important -- that was the WHOLE premise of last week's episode. She went through a bunch of psycho training so she could withstand super powers.

No, she begged him for the truth. AFTER he tried to come see her. And there was nothing crazy about going a man who hurt you and deceived you on a whole new level. And no, she didn't get the suit to feel important. That wasn't the whole premise, clearly you missed it.

[Night_Hawk90]

if clark is able to go from almost marrying lori lemaris to getting with lois, i dont see how clark and lois cannot get together on this show.

[kryptonhero25]

I'm assuming we'll see a minor relationship between them and maybe a few series of kisses but I think that's all we're getting. I mean the PS3, I don't think, were really prepared to make this the last season so it's really going to be hard for them to cram in all of the clois relationship

Sorry. But when you ask someone about Clark Kent/Superman they don't respond with "Lana Lang".

[blink2matrix]

i always thought you could be in love with someone, something happen causing you to break apart, and you ultimately find someone else you can love just as much or more. I mean, that's how all relationships work for people who didn't end up with their first love, right? Apparently not?!

I don't see Clois as cheapened. i see it as finally available to start :)

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

I just don't buy that. Not anymore. I also don't buy a Lois Lane who would be perfectly ok with being with a guy who loves another girl so much but can't be with her physically.

Exactly. It doesn't mean squat when Clana was chosen to be THE relationship on the show. I don't even understand why now they were all "Oh, restrictions about Lois! Restrictions! We cannot have her doing this and that" Restrictions my ass. They took the liberty of stepping all over things already.

Yeah, but technically:\...Lex wasn't really in that truck...so, it's all good.:lol:

[DontCha]

this Clana arc was not the end of the season its the middle AKA the point of disruption: the good old SPANNER in the works of the BIGGER picture. We know what the bigger picture is (superman/clois) and by god did it get threatened to hell when lana came back. This arc was merely the diruption that needs to be resolved and brought back to the equilibrium (the start) but in any story it is never going to be the same as the start due to the events of the disruption. Its a new equilibrium, IMO it will be clark falling hard for Lois, and trying to set things right as Superman and Lois being reserved.

The start of the season? Clois was good, but it didnt fit in with the actual mythos either if you REALLy think about it. This NEW equilibrium will.

[morrigan01]

I dont know what Im more bad about, them making Lana a superhero, them pooping on Clark's wife, or them turning Oliver into a villain.

Honestly? The Lana being a superhero thing is the one thing that doesn't bother me at all. Mostly because Lana actually does get superpowers sometimes in the comics. I actually kinda wish they had just made her the Insect Queen and gave her her Honorary Legion Member status when the LOSH showed up - would have been a funny and nice little shout-out IMO.

[blink2matrix]

this Clana arc was not the end of the season its the middle AKA the point of disruption: the good old SPANNER in the works of the BIGGER picture. The diruption that needs to be resolved and brought back to the equilibrium (the start) but in any story it is never going to be the same as the start due to the events of the disruption. Its a new equilibrium, IMO it will be clark falling hard for Lois, and trying to set things right as Superman and Lois being reserved.

that's what i'm hoping for. There is still more story to tell. now we have to deal with one month of waiting :mad:. we'll have Lois back after the month though :D

[eas]

They didn't cheapened Clois, they crapped on Clark.

Clark not be able to be with someone else but Lois is not even new, it's on the comics (Lori Lemaris). BUT Clark is back on step 1, the reason why he can't be with Lana is because the freaking Kryptonite. The EXACT same reason as the first episode of the entire show, the Pilot. Where is the growth?

There isn't any... in fact, he's worse than he was in the Pilot, because - then - he saved Lex's life. Now, he was willing to kill him because of Lana.

[Night_Hawk90]

yes the mermaid who is telepathic

[TayLaneBloom]

Exactly. It doesn't mean squat when Clana was chosen to be THE relationship on the show. I don't even understand why now they were all "Oh, restrictions about Lois! Restrictions! We cannot have her doing this and that" Restrictions my ass. They took the liberty of stepping all over things already.


right! Lois is restricted since she came to this show... she can't even be in all the episodes, but to go all "Lois is a second option" thing is right.
they're messing with a 70 years old character, that everyone love and respect. that's wrong.
but at least, she wasn't there during this hole CLANA arc.
i'm glad she didn't appear on this episodes, but still, everyone missed her. Hope PS3 understands that Lois is the one everyone loves, and not Lana.

[TWNik]

Clois was cheap with little credibility to begin with, via the lightswitches, & instant pining by Lois - now it has No Credibility. Clark doesn't love her & never did.

[redeem147]

It's entirely possible for someone to love more than one person at a time. Different doesn't mean less.

And Clark was only starting to have feelings for Lois.

[eas]

NO.

Soulmates in this show are Clark and Lana!!

I remember reading this a little while ago....

The most memorable couples in books or films are couples that don't end up together!

The samples the article mentioned are, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Romeo and Juliet, Titanic.

And now we can add that amazing ending for Clana!! KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!
EPIC!!

Um... did they not teach "Pride and Prejudice" at your high school? Did you only read "tragedies" as stories of "soul mates"??? Even Shakepeare had one of his greatest couples in Beatrice and Benedict.

Also, those famous couples you're talking about? The epic romance and couples who are famous the world over?

Lois Lane and Clark Kent are ONE of those couples.... people (even non-Superman fans) know that Lois Lane is the one true love of Clark Kent's life.

Except, I guess, the viewers of "Smallville"... apparently, TPTB feel that we're the exception and we didn't get the memo before watching the show.

[tippership commander]

this Clana arc was not the end of the season its the middle AKA the point of disruption: the good old SPANNER in the works of the BIGGER picture. We know what the bigger picture is (superman/clois) and by god did it get threatened to hell when lana came back. This arc was merely the diruption that needs to be resolved and brought back to the equilibrium (the start) but in any story it is never going to be the same as the start due to the events of the disruption. Its a new equilibrium, IMO it will be clark falling hard for Lois, and trying to set things right as Superman and Lois being reserved.

agreed, but you forgot, the clois was a tease..

CLANA couldnt thrreaten what wasn't there yet

...
Clana said a very well done goodbye, and left things open..

this is where it begins..

clois hadnt even really started, so....


true!

[Larel]

Sorry. But when you ask someone about Clark Kent/Superman they don't respond with "Lana Lang".



LMAO exactly, Clana are not even known by many Superman fans which proves how important she was in his story!:lol:

Lois & Clark are known the world over by millions of Superman fans as the EPIC love story & Lois is CK's true love end of story!

[Timester]

Gone With the Wind

They end up together, Confederation version.


Casablanca

They end up together, Nazi version.


Romeo and Juliet

They both die idiotically.


Titanic.

He sunks, together with the unsunkable boat.


Yet Clark and Lana still lives and don't end up together. Why?

Because they are NOT soulmates, soulmates are bound to end up together. The universe works for it.

[I_am_LEX]

People should prly calm down. Isn't this showing he's as human as we are? I mean, its hard to move on, to move foward... imagine being him! He knows Lana accepts him. He's afraid others won't and thats why he was having a hard time letting go. Soon, I'd imagine, very soon, he'll realize that there are other people *cough* Lois *cough* who accept his alien side, even if they don't know that its Clark Kent. To me, it can be looked at from several angles.
1) Lex Luthor - he wants to "help" clark be a hero so he will get credit somehow. he prly planned this whole thing, knowing Lana would go after the suit. I think it says alot about Lex and less about the other two. He had to separate them somehow. He thinks he's doing the world a favor, which he is. He also had extra incentive.
2) Clark- he's not superman. not yet. he has to realize what's really important, and maybe this is the only way. He has to get his strength from somewhere. I mean, without trials like this, no way could he ever be strong enough to take on the things he does in the future. Every character is just a stepping stone. Lana included. Just because he loves Lana doesn't mean he won't love Lois more. This will make him stronger. He will move on. He has to, not only because of this whole Lana thing, but because of his destiny.
3)Lana-She can't let go of Clark without help. Think of this as a way for her to move on because thats the way I see it. She's choosing not to be in Clark's life, not the other way around. I know this seems to cheapen Clark's motives for moving on but he's going to do it anyways... eventually. Chloe, Oliver, Lex... they'd make him at some point. Let's not forget about Jor-El and Doomsday of course. There are plenty of reason why he would move on... he has to, its just that simple.

We all know he moves on. So whether or not we like this situation... he would have moved on eventually anyways. Who really cares? At least he has a real reason to dislike Lex now. lol. We all know he will love again... and we all know who it is. Whether you accept this version or not... he'll still move on. It's TV! The show must go on.

The sad part is...TPTB probably should just put Clana together at this point. I think that I'd rather see that than Clark run to Lois after this mess.

thats RIGHT

i BET, the writers had all 3 of those in mind, and MORE


I AM LEX,, i think you're a genius, !

[morrigan01]

Which, honestly, are my favorite couple out of all of Shakespeare's couples. (And the one that most resembles the CLASSIC Lois & Clark relationship).

[thehenry89]

NO.

Soulmates in this show are Clark and Lana!!

I remember reading this a little while ago....

The most memorable couples in books or films are couples that don't end up together!

The samples the article mentioned are, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Romeo and Juliet, Titanic.

And now we can add that amazing ending for Clana!! KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!
EPIC!!

Casablanca-she gets on the plane at the end.

gone with the wind-scarlet only realised atthe end that rhett was the man she really loved and he left her dumb a$$ cuz he wasn't gonn stick around and play second fiddle to ashely wilkes

Romeo and Juliet-she gutted herself with a knife, and he poisoned himself like a moron, but after watching tonight that doesn't sound like a bad idea

Titanic-great pointless love story, and she throws the diomand overoard what a waste.

[Alania]

I don't think it was cheapened and something tells me the 'Clark for Lois' iconic chase is about to begin!!!!!!!!!! We only need Lois to come back now.

[morrigan01]

Why does Titanic always get mentioned as a great love story? Honestly, it was a horribly written script, and a not-at all-complex romance either.

Anyway, to name some famous couples in books and films that *do* end up together:

Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy in Pride and Prejudice

Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre in Jane Eyre

Benedict and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing

Those are just off the top of my head. So no, not all famous Epic romance couple don't get together in the end.

[Dresden]

Clois has not been cheapened! Why? Read below! I'm quoting myself...er, again...because it just fits in so well here.

Why is Lana Lang so special right now? LOL. Because I don't see it.

Do we all remember Alicia Baker? Yeah, Clark Kent was totally in love with her, lusted after her and even proposed and married her! Yeah, he was under the red-k influence but that doesn't change Clark, it just makes him less inhibited. So Clark Kent literally marries the woman! And they are so in love but things keep on getting in the way. At the end, no one believes in Alicia except for Clark Kent. What he feels for her is described by him as very unique. //She makes me feel special and normal at the same time.// He cried tears for her when their relationship wasn't working and then sobbed like I've never seen a man sob in my life when she was dead.

Alicia Baker and Clark Kent were separated not by choice but by death.

So did Lana Lang become his second choice then? Clark never thought of Lana while he was with Alicia. And who could blame him! Alicia may have been homicidal but the woman was not only beautiful but she made Clark feel like a god (and that had nothing to do with his powers!).

In the comics, Clark Kent proposes to Lori Lemaris. They are in love and older than Clark and Lana are right now. They are in college, mature, and with relationships under their belts. Yet Lori cannot marry Clark because one thing is standing in their way, and it isn't lack of love. It's the fact that Lori Lemaris is a mermaid. This is something that she has NO control over. So Lori and Clark end. Is Lois Lane then Clark Kent's second choice in the comics?

No!!!

If this were true, that would mean that every single person who has ever been in love and been left by that love (either because of cheating or some other circumstance other than the person choosing to leave) will never find another love again. And that is BS! It's rare for people to end up with their first love. It happens, but it's very, very rare. People think when they are in love in high school that what they are feeling is everything. Then they meet someone else, feel something greater and BAAAAMMM!! They realize that what they felt in the past was NOTHING compared to what they feel now.

People last years and years married to each other. Then fall out of love and find someone else. Is the second love not true love? Many people would disagree.

My point is I don't care if Clark had returned to Lana a million times in the past. That doesn't mean that he will never be able to love another woman. And it certainly doesn't mean that the love he feels will not be true.

In the end, a true love is one that lasts!!

Has Clana ever lasted? NO!!

[Dominicus]

Well if you think about it, they gave up on each other, quick. This was a test to the clana relationship and they buckled under the pressure as usual. They didn't even try IMO. Clark feel in love everyone he ever dated in SV. Alicia, even after she tried to kill Lana, his supposed love. They give up, that's not true love. Clark never gives up, but in this case he did, and accepted the outcome. But why is he such a crybaby, a weak clak kent, I can't stand that. But I can say SV Clark hasn't exprienced real love, just a Lana obsession of an idea, a fatasy, a dream. Lois will be his reality. I have little faith in the writers, they seem to be writing to an ignorant audience that eats this stuff up. I do believe the writer's screwed up royally to put Lana on such a grand scale. I can't believe how they butchered Clark kent/superman mythos. He's mentally weak, and needs therapy. I only seen a drunkard that pathetic.

[Dresden]

When talking about epic romances and couples that do DO end up together, you all all forgetting THE MOST IMPORTANT instance of an iconic couple ending up together:

<center> DC COMICS - SUPERMAN/CLARK KENT and LOIS LANE!
</center>
</B> Muahahaha!! They end up together! Married and everything! 70 years and growing strong! They are known and adored around the world. *hugs clois comics* Hehe.

So yeah, great loves do end up together! :)

[Dominicus]

Clois has not been cheapened! Why? Read below! I'm quoting myself...er, again...because it just fits in so well here.

Then they meet someone else, feel something greater and BAAAAMMM!! They realize that what they felt in the past was NOTHING compared to what they feel now.

My sentiments exactly!:rotfl:Brilliant insight!

[AndiGirl]

Yea...Clana didnt taint Clois at all.
they are two completely different things....and of course Clark will have a love before Lois. But to taint that love would imply Clark can do better then Lois...and I guarantee once they get together Clark will see what he's been missing all these years.

So...not tainted at all really. :)

[eas]

Yet Clark and Lana still lives and don't end up together. Why?

Because they are NOT soulmates, soulmates are bound to end up together. The universe works for it.

The reason they don't end up together is the same as death. In fact, it's worse than death, because Clark still has some hope that - somehow - he'll fix it.

The thing with soulmates it that you can have one that you don't end up with... For example, in "Titanic", Jack was Rose's soumate. So, even though she went on to live life and have kids and marry some guy, her true soul mate was Jack. He was the one waiting for her when she died -- not her husband, the father of her children, or any other lover.

It's the same thing with Clark Kent and Lana Lang. While Lois may be his wife, it will really be Lana who is his soul mate... the one perfect woman that he wanted to be with & understood his soul like no other. But, unfortunately, he can't near her without dying, so it's a tragic love story.

He may spend his life with Lois, but she's just the woman he ends up with -- not the woman he WANTED to end up with.

Would you feel differently if we, at some point, hear Clark say to Lois...."you're the one I want to be with, the one I love, my soulmate that I've finally found that was right in front of me the whole time".....????
That is the question. If he said something along these lines to her at some point in the near future on SV....would you feel the same way?
I've been giving this a lot of thought since the Lana arc began and has now ended. I'd like to know what you think?:)

.....er, you d oknow ,that he'll WANT to be with lois, for the rest of his life?>

and, that she's his soulmate, because he judges her later on to be the BEST?

AND, that he can want more than one person

and, that he felt the same with ALICIA?

AHEM!

I'll answer that. To me, those are just words. As a viewer who watches every single episode of Smallville, I'm never going to forget the image of Clark fighting his way to Lana and giving her a kiss like that while being in unbelievable pain. That pretty much sealed it for me that Lana will always be Clark's true love.

I said before this episode aired that TPTB still had a chance with "Requiem" to show that Clark's feelings for Lana have changed and they failed to do so.

[Alicia Chipy]

This version of Clark has a lot of maturing and soul searching to do before he becomes worthy of Lois. Ps3 really painted themselves into a corner with this episode.
The only thing I'm sure of, is that Lex LIVES!

[supercatmom]

OK ps3 finished what Al/Miles started in season 4 with the introduction of Lois Lane on SV.
The total distruction of the Iconic Lois Lane. How many people still want Chloe to somehow become Lois.

I posted after bulletproof about Lana the wonderful. About how SV was supposed to be Clark journey into Superman not the deification of Lana. I didn't know how prophetic I was being. Hell she is already a matyr, Canonization to Saint Hood should be next.

How could Lois ever live up to this Lana in Clark's eyes.

Did you hear Lana lecturing Clark about not killing Lex. The same Clark who in Legend, said you should never kill, there was always another way.

[TayLaneBloom]

This version of Clark has a lot of maturing and soul searching to do before he becomes worthy of Lois. Ps3 really painted themselves into a corner with this episode.

Clark Kent don't desirve Lois Lane! not in Smallville... at least not for now.
hope she kick the hell out of his ass with her Stillettos before they get together.

Lex is Alive...
well... back to the same thing since Odyssey, Deja Vu, anyone?

[MrZeppo]

As an adult I often forget what first love feels like. I've notice there is often an idealized concept behind it. Especially in the young. Because a lot of people think it would be serendipitous if your first love is your soulmate. With a first love, it's even better because if your first love is your soul mate than you don't have to go through the pain of looking for your soul mate. Of going through those horrible relationships and bad breakups. They think it's more special if the universe brought you together right away.

As an adult I can almost laugh at the concept. I remember my first love. I was 16. She wasn't an evil person, but at the time she was so not right for me. And I was so blinded by my love that if anyone said anything to me about it I would be very defensive. Because I felt she was my soul mate. We'd breakup and go back to each other, each time ending badly and painfully. (Call me a glutton for punishment!) Only years afterward was I able to look at that relationship objectively and learn from it. I learned not to have blinders on and look at the women I'd encounter in my life honestly and openly.

When this journey started for us all, Clark is someone I'd call a "nice guy". I've had a lot of friends who called themselves nice guys (or nice girls). Not the guys who are called nice. No, Clark reminded me of one of those self proclaimed "nice guys", those guys kill me. Those guys usually finish last for a reason. Because they aren't real, they pretend to be something they're not to attract someone. Clark was a genuinely good person, but the moment he actively went after Lana while hiding who he really was, I was irked by that because he reminded me of the classic self proclaimed nice guy.

I think the problem with those type of guys is that some never grow up. Some curse at the sky wondering why fate never smiled on them because they were so nice. Why they can never find love when they are so nice. They never bother to look at the fact they hide who they are. A lucky few do grow up and learn. Not only how to be real, but the real difference between being a "nice guy" and a good man. The choices a man makes are very different than a nice guy.

Nice guys and first loves are a part of life. They exist for a reason. They are painful stepping stones to the future. Nice guys exist to potentially become good men. First loves are called that for a reason, because more often than not they are the first love of several. Some are lucky to have their soul mate be their first love, for most it takes time. I do believe soul mates, someone you really click with, take time. And sometimes it can really sneak up and surprise you.

Lana was Clark's first love. But it's over. It's come full circle, with Clark being unable to be near her as he was in the first episode. While I hoped Lana and Clark would have been able to part as friends, it looks like it was always destined to be the tragic Romeo and Juliet romance where the two lovers can never be together. That was part of the appeal. It began and ended in tragedy and pain.

This does not cheapen Clois or Lois. I heard someone here say that Clois can never work because Clark wants Lana. How does that cheapen Lois? Clark will move on. In time he will desperately love and want Lois. He isn't a nice guy anymore. Clark isn't the same as he was in Season 1-7. I feel Clark's idealized childhood dream of love died today. Finally the man can move forward. And I know he can move on. Because while he loves Lana, he's proven he can live without her in his life.

And Clois is not painful and tragic like Clana was. She actually brings out a brighter, playful, and more lively part of Clark that I enjoy seeing. In a lot of ways, I see Clark is more real with Lois than he is with almost anyone else, and she doesn't even know his secret! I've noticed that she can make him smile in a beaming way that no one can. I think I attribute it mostly to the excellent chemistry Tom and Erica have, but they have a sense of ease and peacefulness between them. There is no tragedy and pain. It's built of nothing more than love and friendship.

Have faith Clois fans. This is your Clana closure, it's time to move on, not only for Clark, but for all of us. Lois will be back in around 27 days. :D

[dru-zod2501]

Would you feel differently if we, at some point, hear Clark say to Lois...."you're the one I want to be with, the one I love, my soulmate that I've finally found that was right in front of me the whole time".....????
That is the question. If he said something along these lines to her at some point in the near future on SV....would you feel the same way?
I've been giving this a lot of thought since the Lana arc began and has now ended. I'd like to know what you think?:)
If they somehow shoehorned a line like that into the show this late in the game, it would feel forced and artificial. It's sweet sentiment no doubt, but the Clana has the onscreen history behind it.

[Watching Smallville]

Actually, I think this strengthens Clois. After this mess of a relationship, Clark will learn what a healthy love is like. Because Clana definitely was not that.

[Sunny8]

Even though she will never be there he will always love her more than Lois.

Really no one can say this. People change and he is still only in his very early 20's. It remains to be seen. If when he is 70 years old, he says Lana was his only love after having been married to Lois, then I could say this, but not now.

[Spirit Detective]

Actually, I think this strengthens Clois. After this mess of a relationship, Clark will learn what a healthy love is like. Because Clana definitely was not that.

Clana = unhealthy love

Literally and Figuratively

[KryptonStones]

Idk, though I think this episode has officially SCREWED UP Clois...te only silver lining I can think of would be...when/should Clark ever fall in love with Lois, he will experience a healthy, stable relationship, and realize what he had with Lana all along was a facade...a dream.....an illogical fantasy created by his own desire to be with someone who accepts him. I mean, put yourself in Clark's shoes for a minute. You are an ALIEN from another GALAXY. You are DESTINED to become humanity's savior. You are BURDENED with these pressures that no NORMAL woman would understand.

It would be hard for any woman to accept the real him. It will be hard for him to involve himself in any relationship that doesn't require him to conceal an important part of himself. Ppl can view him as a freak, a monster, he's obviously scared of that. It explains why he'd fall so easily for ppl like Alicia...and why he's clinging to this extremely lopsided, angst infested bucket of a relationship. Maybe Lois can bring him out of this in the future. All I'm saying is that, by having them break up like this, there hasn't been any TRUE closure. And Idk if there ever will be.

[lana 9]

i think it will be hard for clark to love lois more than lana

[imaginaryhero]

There's no way around it now, Lois is officially the runner-up. I say this because Clana was forced apart, they didn't break up on their own terms. The ending to the Clana relationship was sad, not "CRYING sad" but "WTF sad". :(

[bigvillir001]

hey everyone

OK fist off everyone needs to chill Lois in not Scend to anyone and Clark would never treat her as such second ps3 finished what Al/Miles little story Clana arch ok and really thinks the two eps lana was heavest in were 13-14 and clark tried to tell her that wearing the suit could be dangerous she relly didnt listen and now that suit has no now power and will probaby slowy break down her body in time but it wa her choice

As for clark well he just lost his childhood sweethart and you can all on this forum can sit there and bash clark but the reall truth give first love is never an easy thing for anyou be it human or superman when we all lost are first love it a pain that is always with you and it hard to anyrhing with it but as they say time heals all pain...

[MrZeppo]

i think it will be hard for clark to love lois more than lana

Lana was the first love, you never love quite like your first love. Because it's your first, you love so blindly.

Lois is the adult love, the one of friendship, the one of wisdom. Because you learn from your mistakes from your first love. It's why they call it "first love", it was the first. Not the one and only. Clark tends to have more fun with Lois and their relationship is less painful and tragic. What is sad is what if Lana had just gone back to Clark at the end of "Arctic" then she probably would still be with him. But her own quest for power and to be Clark's equal to do good proved to be a decision that doomed their relationship from that moment.

In the end, they just weren't destined to be together.

I don't think it'll be too hard for him to move on and really see Lois like she sees him. Like Lana said, it wasn't about the future, it was about the present. Clark and Lana were allowed to say goodbye, something they weren't able to do in "Arctic". But she's most likely never coming back so really Clark will one day move on because it will be the past, and he will have to look toward the present and future.

Besides Clark was able to get a form of closure he wasn't able to get when Lana left in "Arctic".

I think in the beginning of the season, the Clois bit was a tease, but now that Lana is gone for good, Lois is the "it" girl now. I bet they start dropping the Clois heavily from the next episode. They'll probably be pushing that for the rest of the season (and hopefully season 9), especially from the way spoilers sound. Clark is going to chose to tell Lois his secret, something he never did for Lana or Chloe. That's huge for him to trust her to give that message to the world. It sounds like Clark will be moving on just fine.

[j-kent]

Why do people think that Smallville must cohere to conventional mythology. For 8 season they've turn the boat around on us everyweek. This version is Smallville and we need to suspend the shipping and handling so we can enjoy this show for what it gives everyweek as SMALLVILLE.

To the person who says that Clark will always love Lana more than Lois. That's a little pretentious and reckless to say. For one, you can't quantify love. Second, we are quintessentially regenerating as people ever day, every year, every minute. What you can feel or love in a one instant or moment in time, can be translated to another without reverting to the past. Every moment is different and no one lives or loves to compare.

[Becc]

The reason they don't end up together is the same as death. In fact, it's worse than death, because Clark still has some hope that - somehow - he'll fix it.

The thing with soulmates it that you can have one that you don't end up with... For example, in "Titanic", Jack was Rose's soumate. So, even though she went on to live life and have kids and marry some guy, her true soul mate was Jack. He was the one waiting for her when she died -- not her husband, the father of her children, or any other lover.

It's the same thing with Clark Kent and Lana Lang. While Lois may be his wife, it will really be Lana who is his soul mate... the one perfect woman that he wanted to be with & understood his soul like no other. But, unfortunately, he can't near her without dying, so it's a tragic love story.

He may spend his life with Lois, but she's just the woman he ends up with -- not the woman he WANTED to end up with.
Well put, ITA, Unfortunately SV will now always see clois as second-rate, that's the shows canon. I don't know why they bought Lois on to the show (as I originally assumed she was bought on to be Clark's love interest) if they were going to portray clana like Romeo and Juliet. It does a tremendous disservice to the clois ship and now I wish Lois was never brought on the show.

[Brizzle]

Haha this thread is hilarious. Face facts Clark is pathetic and he was trashed by these writers along time ago.

[skugers]

I'm sorry I even watched. I gave PS3 credit with this one, I thought they will come up with something good at least in the last Clana ep but obviously I was sooooo wrong... I'm soory they trashed Clark like this and destroyed Clois.

[j-kent]

Oh dear no one listens

[wafflles87]

Even though I'm more dissapointed in the writers than I've EVER been for cheapening Clois, I thought about it , and I can't give up on Clois. I simply can't. I'd be lying if I said I will give up them.
So, even though they messed up big time, I still have faith in the people who brought uis the first 10 episodes of the season.

[hero`s passion]

Was it SO bad???? I`m scared, I`m not seen it yet...and I`m afraid now....:(((((((

[CLanaF23]

Even though she will never be there he will always love her more than Lois.




I think we all knew that from the day lois set foot on the show, Clark will ALWAYS love LANA more, lois is officially the 2ND choice. if circumstances didnt seperate clark and lana they would be together... so now since lana and clark cant happen, clark will move on to lois. i just want to thank the writers..because it just shows to all the lana/clana *mod edit* that Clana IS true love, it wasnt just something clark needed to get over.. it just proves on SMALLVILLE LOIS IS 2ND PLACE.

CLANA FOREVER <3

[ginnyfan]

Well I've read this whole thread and I'm no longer... a SVClois shipper. I still have hope that at some point I'll be rooting for Clois the way I was before but... I don't know.


I am surprised they refrained from making them kill themselves... Probably only because DC wouldn't allow them. :rolleyes: But maybe that was the perfect ending after all: as unhealthy as their romantic relationship always have been. :\

LOL!

I've read a lot of posts. Some even from Clana fans like newfan that acknowledge that with time, Clark may come to love Lois as much as Clark. Thanks to Dresden, Mr. Zeppo and others for the really wonderful posts. I don't feel as down about the episode as I would have without reading these posts. But I'm... I can't ship Lois and Clark on Smallville right now. It's sad when I think about the way I felt about Clois before and during the almost kiss... even right afterward. But, I think maybe it's for the best. Now I'm looking forward to there being some professional distance between Lois and Clark.

I don't think that Clois is tainted or cheapened. Clois hasn't happened and I know that some fans feel that the romantic Clois was already out there (lol when harry met sally) but in my opinion... it wasn't... quite out there yet. So no... not tainted.

But Clark is completely gutted right now and I don't think Lois needs to be in a relationship with a guy who's an emotional wreck. A lot of time needs to pass before romance happens between Lois and Clark. A lot of time like five years. LOL! But of course I'll still be watching. I'm still looking forward to Lois' return and hopefully a good journalism story arc.


Well if you think about it, they gave up on each other, quick. This was a test to the clana relationship and they buckled under the pressure as usual. They didn't even try IMO. Clark feel in love everyone he ever dated in SV. Alicia, even after she tried to kill Lana, his supposed love. They give up, that's not true love. Clark never gives up, but in this case he did, and accepted the outcome.

Yeah. Chloe's infected by Brainiac and it's not the end but Lana's wearing a Kryptonite suit and it is? He should take Lana to the fortress and try to neutralize the Kryptonite. Yes Dr. Grohl said there's no way, but he doesn't have access to Kryptonian technology. I mean I don't think there was much a neurologist could do for Chloe but... Jor-el could save her. I'm sure there will be a Clana fic that explores this territory. LOL!

Maybe Clark will later devise an invisible lead suit that he can wear and then... happily ever after Clana once more.

You can`t say that until you will see the end of the show, so thanks to you Clana fans show becomes a stupid soap opera, I hope that you are happy now:)

[zHeN_zHeN]

It'll be okay...

After all, this is not the end of the story. :)

[MozartRequiem]

I also don't think it discredits Clark's future with Lois. That's like saying that if a husband loses his wife to cancer that any future love he has is lesser. That's not true. He could love someone just as much and in a totally separate, different way. And his first love could always still be in his heart.

[Minamostaza]

We can't compare who we love the most, Clark loves Lana, Chloe, Martha, Lois, in a different way.......Those feelings we have for each person are unique and can't be compared........Clark loves Lana and will always love her but he's gonna fall in love with Lois in the future, we all know that, it just takes a little time to love again, he doesn't need to stop loving someone to love again, the feelings will always be there, and he'll love again, that's for sure.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

NO.

Soulmates in this show are Clark and Lana!!

I remember reading this a little while ago....

The most memorable couples in books or films are couples that don't end up together!

The samples the article mentioned are, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Romeo and Juliet, Titanic.

And now we can add that amazing ending for Clana!! KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!
EPIC!!

You missed out the part where Romeo and Juliet dont pursue other people afterwards. How can an epic ending to a love story be in the middle of the season:confused: Surely it should have been at the ending if it was so epic. Clark should fight for months to find a cure for Lana, not one day.

This epic ending cheapens every ship IMO..Clana, Clois, Chlark. No character development for Lana...she runs away like always. This was a rubbish heroic send off as Lana CHOSE to wear the suit made by Lex in the first place. She wasnt sick or dying, so why wear it?

Stupid Lana..I definitely will not miss the character. And neither will Clark:rotfl:
Clark obviously doesnt stay sad for very long

clark is the man...now that lana is gone..hes gonna need fresh new meat lol..lois lane ur next!!

[FLyxNERD]

Stupid Lana..I definitely will not miss the character. And neither will Clark:rotfl:

:lol: true..for some reason he gets over things quickly...

[santoniou]

Considering what happened in Requiem do you think Clark should be hitting on Lois an

episode or two later?

I personally haven't been able to stand Lana and Clark for a while, so personally don't

mind seeing Lois and Clark sparking off each other again, even though I hate that to Clark

Lois is his No.2 choice.

[amberdawn]

No, he shouldn't be hitting on or making googly eyes at anyone for a long long while.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

Even though she will never be there he will always love her more than Lois.

Except Clana has and will never be forever:rotfl:

So you are telling me Clark and Lana love each other so much, they give up on their love within a day? They both cant fight for years to find a cure for Lana?

Clana cant be true love because something always gets in the way. Its nature's way of breaking them. We lose the game before we start to play and whatever is meant to be will be..no matter what.

Clana's story has been about obssession than anything else. About how two people are so scared of letting each other go..no matter how unhappy they make eachother. They never RESPECTED eachother enough to be completely honest.

Its all 'what we want' with clana, not what is best for one another. What kind of love revolves around secrets and lies? Love is not self-centred!

[FLyxNERD]

clark is a pimp lol...if u havent noticed he doesnt stay sad for a long time..

[Jocced]

That wouldn't be Clark like... im guessing a brooding scene up on the loft.

Maybe they want to spend their time on doing what they both have to do then something the both want o do., saving lives.. the world will always be bigger then the both of them their putting the rest of the world before them selfs i don't see what that has to do with their love. Clark was willing to give it a chance but Lana was just hurting of it and that wouldn't help either of them one bit.

So i don't think that has anything to do with how much the love eachother.

[zHeN_zHeN]

Uh, yeah! That would be so wrong!

[Jocced]

after much thinking not if Lois makes the first move :P

[Mickey_Bickey]

No, what's wrong was the writers trying to force a love affair between Clark and his high school girlfriend.


Lois Lane is the one he's supposed to fall for and be soul mates with, so please let's continue with the real story now. Clark becoming Superman with Lois Lane as his leading lady!

Can't wait until March!

[starflower69]

Personally, I think in the world of smallville anything is possible. What's wrong with Clark loving two women? It does happen. The way Clark gets portrayed is as someone who doesn't know what he wants so IMO let's wait and see.

[FLyxNERD]

i dont really follow the comics but did clark actually get over Lana in the comics or vice versa? was the break up mutual?

[DGirlLois4Clark]

It just goes to show how important Clana is. Out of sight, out of mind.lol.
Poor Lana made a 'sacrifice' to be forgotten after one episode.ehehehe

[amberdawn]

i dont really follow the comics but did clark actually get over Lana in the comics or vice versa? was the break up mutual?

He was never so in love with Lana in the comics. In fact, when she comes back later in his life, he says he loves her like a sister while she is left pining after him.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

Maybe they want to spend their time on doing what they both have to do then something the both want o do., saving lives.. the world will always be bigger then the both of them their putting the rest of the world before them selfs i don't see what that has to do with their love. Clark was willing to give it a chance but Lana was just hurting of it and that wouldn't help either of them one bit.

So i don't think that has anything to do with how much the love eachother.

But the thing is Lana put on that suit willingly. Neither of them thought about the consequences of that action long enough. Nope they would rather have sex.
Clana has always been about selfish love..not selfless. That is why I dont buy this lana 'sacrifice' crap.
They have never confided in eachother before doing things..imagine a marriage built on that. Thank goodness for destiny because IMo this is the worst 'love' story ever told.

Lana wants to be super to be with Clark+Clark wants to be ordinary to be with Lana= It'll never work. (No balance)

Honestly what romantic novel did you steal all those sentences from? because I want to read it now. Seriously Clark and Lana have been that way forever. I don't know if its love, but to the smallville writers it is.

The only one on this show that comes close to anything you said on this show is Lios Lane. She's had the best romances and the most mature relationships on this show.

Which is why I detest Clois happening now because I see no reason for them to be together on this show anymore. Clark time after time again has proven that he loves that relationship he has with Lana. He breaks rules for it, he killed his father for it, he ruined his friends for it, and he's forgiven all Lana's faults for it. This Clark Kent doesn't want the relationship your talking about its that simple.

[Alania]

No, Lois returns, Clark forgets Lana ever existed, sounds good to me! Cause that's exactly what happens. After Bride, Lois will never accept Clark if she isn't sure he loves completely. And the chase for Lois begins...........

[Mickey_Bickey]

He was never so in love with Lana in the comics. In fact, when she comes back later in his life, he says he loves her like a sister while she is left pining after him.


Not to mention she was Lois Lane's bridesmaid at Clark and Lois' wedding.

[RingzTerritory]

It's smallville, what do you expect? lol thank god this crap story line will never make it in the movies, only on smallville would they totally destroy a story thats been around longer than the writers were born. their version of clark kent is not good enough for lois lane, he's worthless actually. I hope doomsday does kill him and end this garbage show now.

[dobby]

I'm sorry but the Clana was bulls*it. Total and utter bollocks. In what crazy, flipping world are Clark and Lana STAR-CROSSED LOVERS??? I have never in my life been more angry than I am now. And to add insult to f*cking injury, Lana is still super-powered???!! WTF?! What, Lana is the new flipping Wonder-woman? Well, Smallville hack writers, DC already have a Wonder-Woman, and she definitely isn't Lana Lang.

Ok, firstly the Clana sex was disgusting. Clark and Lana sicken me. He acts like such a little puppy with the look on his face. The one that says how high do you want me jump, Lana? What do you want me to lick next, Lana? She is the only one who can reduce Superman to Superpathetic.

And then saying that he couldn't trust Oliver. What a prick!! Yes, Clark I'm talking to you. You can't trust Oliver but you can trust that bobblehead standing next to you? The woman who put on a super-powered suit for her OWN GAIN? Oliver, for all his faults, is at least trying to do something worthwhile with his time and money, unlike Lana who kept Lex's money and super-suit for herself.:mad: Lana didn't super up for any other reason than to snag Clark. She can claim she wants to help people all she wants but her actions show her for the liar she is. If she wants to help people, become a doctor!!

And Clark and Lana have never been star-crossed lovers in any Superman media. Because Clark and Lana are NOT MEANT TO BE. It's never CIRCUMSTANCES that part them, but it's the fact that Clark and Lana are not compatible as a couple. We've seen this in Smallville when Lana shag*ed his evil clone and PREFERRED HIM over Clark. But to have Clana end with them unable to touch is INSULTING. It's not closure, it's yet more angst for Clark. It's stupid, sloppy writing. It's just so, so, so WRONG.

Clark should know that Lana and him would never work. NOT ending Clana with the possibility of hope if Lana is cured. That's crap. So if Lana pops up again, Clark will dump Lois to be with his lost love? :mad:

Smallville, what have you done to Clark Kent? I mourn you, Superman. You are Lana's lackey, now and forever.

[DontCha]

To me its also rather obvious that the idea of fate is prersistant when it comes to clark and relationships on Smallville The only onw who escapes this is Lois.

Fate will not allow clana to be together because it is not Clark's destiny. The amunt of times they have almost been together and fate has not allowed it. It absolutely cannot work in any way shape or form.

Secondly, for a moment..just for a moment guys...everyone is *****ing about how clark is regressing its making you angry, CLANA has made you angry, because it distances clark from his destiny as Superman..well consider for a simple second that this is most likely what the writers WANTED when it came to the clana arc, to make us irritated at clana and at clark because she quite obviously WEAKENS HIM and this was incredibly apparent in this stupid arc they wanted u to see to see that clana is BAD for clark and his progression...and by the end of it she quite literally is expressed as such she's freaking kryptonite, the one thing that weakens and kills SUPERMAN, She weakens him as a character and is quite lierally the thing that STOPS SUPERMAN.

SHE MUST GO

[princessdiana]

I'm a Clois fan so I hate to say this, but I don't think we will get Clois on this show, not full blown at least. They are still working with the original concept of this show "The early years of Superman", that said, Clark has a ways to go. If I remember, in the mythos Clark does not full embrace his Superman persona until he is about 30 or 33, a significant age because it correlates with the age of Christ story.

I'm not sure why they began a hint of Clois so early on, but IMO at the end of this year (which I believe to be the last) Chloe will die making him realize he needs to fully embrace his destiny and go off to do just that. Or as it has been said "a heartbreaking decision to move on to the next stage".

They will leave us with a hint of Clois all with the message that "we all know how the story goes from that point forward"

[bcooper56]

If you read about upcoming episodes nothing happens with them until episode hex which is episode 17 but there is a scene when " In one scene from this the ep (hex), Clark stares lovingly into Chloe's eyes, but only because he thinks it's Lois. It's at that moment that Chloe learns how hard Clark has fallen for Lois. Um, awkward!"

[Wicked Lois]

Well, I would say yes. But people have more than one love in life, Lois is not his second choice, Lois is his last choice.

HAHHA

*dont talk about the others plz.

[RED_SUN]

This episode does not cheapen Clois or Lois in anyway for me.

People are talking like its impossible for Clark for find something more beautiful than he had with Lana? And it isnt. Its as simple as that.

What he hopefully finds later with Lois will be different but proves to be greater in all aspects.

Like MrZeppo put so brilliantly in his post.

Lois brings something to Clark that Lana never could and that completes him as Superman. He moves on to do greater things in everyway.

What will be interesting however will be how the writers reintroduce CLois and the romance between them, but im betting it will be with a smile to Clarks face bringing him comfort after all that has happened and that will mean everything about where they will eventually end up.

They hopefully will now let Clark finally become the Superman we all know.

I thought the end scene was done brilliantly and brings closure to Clana that was to some long overdue. Great TV

If I remember, in the mythos Clark does not full embrace his Superman persona until he is about 30 or 33, a significant age because it correlates with the age of Christ story.
But that clearly has changed since Clark's gotten with Lana, fell in love with Lana, slept with Lane, I mean love sick over Lana which never happened. Gave Lana kryptonian power, ect. They're not following the mythos, or chronological history either. Clark's already a reporter for the Daily planet in metropolis, which shows they're progression the forward. but no Perry White? They also added Lionel and Chloe. Made Jimmy marry chloe, and Jimmy was never married. Lois is in love was Clark before he's superman. Made Lana marry Lex. It goes on and on. So, it's anyone's game.:lol:

[myankskent]

I'm not sure how Clark chasing after Lois now wouldn't be in bad taste. IMO, it would only help to destroy his character even more. Smallville is nothing like the comics so I can't really use that as an excuse anymore for why something should happen.

[Guidron]

Yes, I do think it will be bad taste. As much as I love Lois, I almost wish she wasn't returning. Clark needs a LOOOOOOOONG time to grow up before he should even have a chance with Lois.

[Mindylynne]

They will have to show some sort of confusion on his part. He can't just flip a switch and be all Lois. He will have to have some interal struggle because he doesn't think he should feel anything for Lois, but he does. Hopefully it is not overnight though. That wouldn't do much for his character.

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

No, Lois returns, Clark forgets Lana ever existed, sounds good to me! Cause that's exactly what happens. After Bride, Lois will never accept Clark if she isn't sure he loves completely. And the chase for Lois begins...........

I wish this was true Alania but I really can't see Clark falling for Lois after this atrocity of a episode...It's just pure disgust. In the world of SV Lois will always be second best if anything does happen romantically between them. This was made clear by Requiem.
I know longer can believe that Lois Lane of SV will ever become Clark Kents true love
Sorry if I'm upsetting the Cloisers, but I'm just attempting to be realistic. What a pity:\

[llk6165]

He was never so in love with Lana in the comics. In fact, when she comes back later in his life, he says he loves her like a sister while she is left pining after him.

I saw that on youtube yesterday.

Anyway, if they do it right, it won't be a problem. TV time is always different anyway and SV never seemed overly concerned with details. It will only be a couple months for us, but in TV land that is way enough time to get past the past and move forward. The only thing that scares me, is that I don't think any of the ships have been done the right way in terms of timing and development. So, we shall see.

[RED_SUN]

No not at all.

What will be interesting however will be how the writers reintroduce CLois and the romance between them, but im betting it will be with a smile to Clarks face bringing him comfort after all that has happened and that will mean everything about where they will eventually end up.

We were never going to really get a full blown Clois and Clark story anyway it is "Smallville" after all its his story of how he becomes the man of steel. We will probably only get to see the start of it and that start will deliver the message that what he finds later with Lois will be different but proves to be greater and more beautiful in every way.
