View Full Version : Lana was all Clark knew, when he dates Lois he'll realize she's the one!

Everyone needs to realize, yes, Clark thought he wanted Lana but that was because she was in the way of him moving on an actually dating someone real like Lois.
When he starts falling for and dating Lois, he'll realize that Lana never even came close to her.
Lana was puppy love, and not real love. Yes this was a silly arc, but as Lois fan, I don't see it as anything that destroys Clois.
It reminds me of the Garth Brooks song, "Thank God for Unanswered Prayers".

if this happens i will have my prayers answered and i will be soo happy
i really and sincerely hopes this happens; but i dont know how much my poor heart can take. from all this flip flopping, its become a soap opera. first its lana, then chloe, then lana, then lana, (throw a little bit of alicia in there somewhere for an episode or 2) then lois then lana, then lois, then lana now and l8r we're expecting lois for the end of season 8. i dont know i really hope clark can do something

Love rarely makes sense, to answer your logical question. But, I do agree with you in hoping that what develops in the Clois realm is superior to the Clana we all know and hate.

The problem with Clois is that it is now going to be based on a big fat lie, and I'm not talking about the lie involving Clark's secret. I'm talking about Clark having to lie to Lois about how he and Lana really broke up.

I don't see it as Love, I see it as Clark never having experienced real love, tried one last time to go back to Lana because he never knew anything else.

im a slight clana fan..
and, NO, this doesnt screw up anything
why?
because every person who hates this episode due t oclois is
1. in it ONLY for clois, not everything else
2. DOnt realize that CLOIS isnt fully developed ,it hasnt REALLY kicked off yet
3. they complained the writers were PUSHING clois too fast, well, this proves it was the teasing before the real stuff starts
...
and one more thing, i liked this episode a lot, and it made me SAD.
for all of you who hate this show now(and those who won't watc hsv again just caz of this,despite all we've come to see)-you're too wrapped up in the clos that HASNT started fully yeu

I agree that Clark will see Lois as better for him than Lana. I also agree that Clois hasn't even kicked off yet.
I just pray for a season 9. The only reason I dreaded this arc was not to get the chance to enjoy a full-blown Clois with these two actors and the writing staff.
I have faith the writers will come back dazzling and more creative than ever with Clois. (After a little "love" breather of course).

So Kreukie...are you happy with the episode? I have to say, the last scene was awesome. Do you hope for Clois though, or are you strictly for Clana?

I'm so sick of Clois fans screaming about the end of the world because Clark chased Lana these last few episodes, I gaurantee that when Lois shows up and Clark turns his eye to her they'll be happy again.
Thanks for the optimism you've kept my faith with these fans

You have a problem with Clark lying to Lois??????? :confused::confused::confused::confused:
Ummm what did he do in the comic books? What did he do in the movies? How long did he wait to tell her that he was the man wearing the tights? Why should him having to lie about him and Lana really breaking up be any difference?

This is interesting. I get the fact that Clark will need to tell Lois certain facts in order to protect his identity but it will be interesting to see how Chloe handles the Clark and Lana situation. I guess I was never really on board with Chloe knowing Clark's entire secret and Oliver and the JLA. To me it always felt like it would cheapen the fact that eventually Lois will be in on the secret too.
I guess what I'm trying to type is that I feel like we will be at square 1 again with Clark still thinking no one else close to him can know his secret blah blah blah. (If this were true, someone will need to explain why it's perfectly acceptable for Chloe to know.)
But then again, I may be giving the writers and TPTB too much credit as I'm sure once Lois returns all will be forgotten in Smallville-world.

Telling her that he's superman is completely different than telling her that he loves another woman and that the only reason why he can't be with her is because of kryptonite. I'm sorry, but that's the story that TPTB chose to write in "Requiem".

I think that given how Lois has reacted to the Clana relationship all series long, she actually said that they were meant to be together, and how she responded to Lana coming back into Clark's life, I would find it very hard to believe that Lois would be ok with the Clana breakup.

It's not uncommon to know someone, and be a friend to them while they're dating another, then later fall for them. Lois made comments before she and Clark were ever and item. That's all there was to it.
Are you saying, that no one should date dumpees, or anyone with a past love, because there could never be a greater love after their first love experience? Of course not. People date, people have first loves, even second loves. If they didn't, we wouldn't be here right now. They all feel very real at the time, but they move on. And the confident have no problem dating someone with a past love, or someone who was dumped, because they're confident in their own ability to be a greater love than the past. :)

I can't buy that he'll know she's the one after what I've seen tonight. Because what I saw tonight was a guy that risked death to kiss the love of his life and a guy who begged her to stay. He loves this woman more than anything. Lois is not even in this equation anymore. I feel like Clark will think that to date anyone else is to betray what he and Lana have, something he calls "beautiful." OP, I think you are very optimistic in your take on what Clark will feel for Lois. Because I believe the writers took great pangs to drive home that Lana is the love of his life, i.e., cue look at the past four episodes and the last five minutes of tonight's episode.

What I'm saying is that I cannot buy this Clois relationship as anything even close to the comic book version as a result of what transpired between Clana tonight. I think that Lois is well aware of Clark's feelings for Lana and I think that she will certainly raise some concerns about it to Clark down the road. If that happens, do you think that Clark is going to tell Lois about the kryptonite infection and breakup? I don't because I don't see Lois every being able to cope with that.

Correct - and as Jack Palance used to say, "Confidence is very sexy."
I can't buy that he'll know she's the one after what I've seen tonight. Because what I saw tonight was a guy that risked death to kiss the love of his life and a guy who begged her to stay.

I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) immediately after Alicia either but apparently everyone else did. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she ran off to Paris and lived with Jason Teague who was trying to get the stones that Clark needed to build the Fortress but I guess some could. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she leaves Clark for not telling her his secret, running to his enemy, sleeping with his enemy, telling him that she never knew why she would love him, and then frolicked in her new life with Lex until she found out that her baby was faked. By that point, apparently some did. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she slept with and preferred the company of Bizarro, but apparently a few still do.
So, because Clark and Lana are separated by her kryptonite poisoning, it doesn't mean that Clark can't overcome the feelings he has for Lana and move on to Lois or anyone else they put in his path. Is it that Clark can't love anyone other than Lana? No - Alicia and Khyla are two that he did love (briefly). If anything, it shows that Clark is so desperate to find someone who can love him for who he is that he grabs onto almost anyone who accepts his secret or who has their own powers that make them feel isolated. Lois doesn't have to resort to technology or special powers to feel like she is worthy of Clark and doesn't treat him like a God, which keeps him in touch with his humanity, IMO.

I agree that the writers are saying that Lana is the love of Clark's life. However, we will eventually see Clois because that's what writers do in order to keep there shows on the air. It will be interesting to see how they pull it off in light of what happened tonight. It appears they will drag it out possibly for another season. Assuming they do another season I'm guessing we will see the same angst with Clois that we got with Clana. That's what writers do in order to capture an audience and create drama. It's not always great writing but it keeps people watching.
Tonight's episode reminded me of something called Twin Flames. Most people I've talked to have never heard of this concept. Basically twin flames are exact opposites of one another. They often lead almost parallel lives but are rarely together because of the intensity of there love. There have been real life stories of twin flames who tried to be together but something always kept them apart. Some of these relationships ended tragically with one or both lovers dying. I'm not saying the writers were intentionally trying to do this but that's basically what we saw tonight. Lana and Clark will go on and lead parallel lives as superpowered beings saving humanity. However, despite their love for one another they will never be together and so this story ends tragically.
If some of you don't believe me try googling the term: Twin Flames. It's often described as being a connection between two people that is far more powerful than even a soulmate connection. So in Smallville's version of the Superman story Lois may be Clark's soulmate but I choose to believe that Lana is his twin flame and the true love of his life.

That's how it is now but it won't always be that way. It was tragic but the reason they aren't together is because of the same issues they have had for years now.
Clark warned Lana but she didn't listen and because of it they can't be together. I agree that he loves her but the relationship was/is very dysfunctional and unhealthy.
It was a first love because they really ignored all the flaws in their relationship. I know I was the same way with my first love and the only reason we finally broke up was because she had to move away. Looking back at it now it was a very bad relationship for me because my whole world revolved around her.
At the time I felt like my whole world shattered and I would never love anyone ever again and that whoever came after would only be second best. How wrong I was

clana passed that 1st love stage in season 4..its been so much more than that. and even if he does end up loving lois...it will never be like Clana. lana truly made clark better. i dont care what anyone's opinion is. she helped him be the man that he needs to be. and they sacrificed their love for the greater good. that is far from 1st love. dont try to downgrade clana and say like everyone else on this board loves to say "they were so dysfunctional, it didnt work" when in reality their relationship isnt going to work like a normal relationship because clark is Not normal tehy dont have "normal" couple things to deal with..but the point is no matter what has happened they have loved each other...they have been committed...they never gave up. dont try to say CLANA is nothing..because it means everything.

The fact is that the writers saw to it that he started to get over Lana, and was starting to grow closer to Lois, when they went the other way in this episode essentially destroying all of the character development made so far this season with Clois and making it so that Clois will never seem "real" because it will always take a back seat to Clana.

Well -- Clark never really tried to do anything with Lois so he doesn't know she's the one yet. Ever since he was a kid, he has feelings for Lana and well -- he doesn't really know how it feels to be with somebody else. Clark-Alicia happened so quickly so it doesn't count... Well -- once he's with Lois, he'll realise that love is much more than what he experience with Lana...
For now, Lana is an old news :p

I am all for that boat too!!!!!!!!!! To quote Lois here with her ice-cream metaphor, Clark has never tasted wild cherry before to realize that it's the best one and never feel like asking for sweet vanilla. I'm just upset that Lois wasn't mentioned at all, AGAIN :mad:. Lois will give him a hard time, i'm sure she won't melt again like she did in Bride, i'm just curious on whether they are going to show us Clark falling for Lois after that "abigail-devoted" sort of kiss with our superman :rolleyes: on his knees. Just RIDICULOUS AND PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: Thank God Lanaville is HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait for Lois to come back, cause she gives us what we all want see: Clark becoming the superhero, something that Lana simply can't do, wearing power suit or not. So, I AM STICKING TO MY SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not downgrading it because in this moment in time Clark really truly loves Lana. She really truly loves him too but their relationship is dysfunctional. The new stronger Lana that came back this season did help Clark a lot more because she was there to re assure him about what he already knew.
What I am trying to say is that Clark will love her always but he will most likely realize that they were never meant to be together. Relationships need more then just love to work and Clark and Lana is a perfect example of that.
They will both grow and learn from this experience because their relationship does mean something. You do not show the kind of emotion they did in that last scene if it didn't mean anything.
I don't think anyone is denying that they truly love each other. Just that some relationships just aren't meant to be and that you can love again as deep or deeper then your first love.

Lana truly made Clark better? I know you state there that you don't care about anyone else's opinon, but what you have written there is simply YOUR opinion of things.
I disagree that "Clana...means everything". They're relationship has been so full of unhealed wounds and uncovered holes that thats not even remotely true. Clark has never known any love except for Lana so to say it is forever going to be his definitive love interest is naive. People move on. Clark will move on.
Lana is the big thing in his life right now but guess what...he will move on. He will never forget her and will always love her, but she will not compare to the girl/woman he loves and marries.
I understand your point of view, but thats all it is, your own personal opinion. We'll see how things go as Season 8 progresses and perhaps Season 9.

As someone else in another threat said, itīs a sad day when people donīt want to look the same pictures. Now, itīs confirmed that this all clois mood was rushed just to please some fans and obviously because they donīt have Kristin Kreuk available, no mather what, if she was still there, Clana will always appear :D

Assuming they do another season I'm guessing we will see the same angst with Clois that we got with Clana. That's what writers do in order to capture an audience and create drama. It's not always great writing but it keeps people watching.
Tonight's episode reminded me of something called Twin Flames. Most people I've talked to have never heard of this concept. Basically twin flames are exact opposites of one another. They often lead almost parallel lives but are rarely together because of the intensity of there love. There have been real life stories of twin flames who tried to be together but something always kept them apart. Some of these relationships ended tragically with one or both lovers dying. I'm not saying the writers were intentionally trying to do this but that's basically what we saw tonight. Lana and Clark will go on and lead parallel lives as superpowered beings saving humanity. However, despite their love for one another they will never be together and so this story ends tragically.
If some of you don't believe me try googling the term: Twin Flames. It's often described as being a connection between two people that is far more powerful than even a soulmate connection. So in Smallville's version of the Superman story Lois may be Clark's soulmate but I choose to believe that Lana is his twin flame and the true love of his life.
I like this! :)

Everyone needs to realize, yes, Clark thought he wanted Lana but that was because she was in the way of him moving on an actually dating someone real like Lois.
When he starts falling for and dating Lois, he'll realize that Lana never even came close to her.
Lana was puppy love, and not real love. Yes this was a silly arc, but as Lois fan, I don't see it as anything that destroys Clois.
It reminds me of the Garth Brooks song, "Thank God for Unanswered Prayers".

Lana truly made Clark better? I know you state there that you don't care about anyone else's opinon, but what you have written there is simply YOUR opinion of things.
I disagree that "Clana...means everything". They're relationship has been so full of unhealed wounds and uncovered holes that thats not even remotely true. Clark has never known any love except for Lana so to say it is forever going to be his definitive love interest is naive. People move on. Clark will move on.
Lana is the big thing in his life right now but guess what...he will move on. He will never forget her and will always love her, but she will not compare to the girl/woman he loves and marries.
I understand your point of view, but thats all it is, your own personal opinion. We'll see how things go as Season 8 progresses and perhaps Season 9.
What you're saying is probably something we will never see on SV. So, there is nothing I can do with that. I can hypothesize that he might feel that way about Lois, but I won't know, because they can't show that in Season 8 (with only 7 episodes left) and I don't even know if there will be a Season 9. Right now I can only go on what I see happening on SV.

I can't buy that he'll know she's the one after what I've seen tonight. Because what I saw tonight was a guy that risked death to kiss the love of his life and a guy who begged her to stay. He loves this woman more than anything. Lois is not even in this equation anymore. I feel like Clark will think that to date anyone else is to betray what he and Lana have, something he calls "beautiful." OP, I think you are very optimistic in your take on what Clark will feel for Lois. Because I believe the writers took great pangs to drive home that Lana is the love of his life, i.e., cue look at the past four episodes and the last five minutes of tonight's episode.
Exactly.
It took Lana being infected with Kryptonite to get Clana to break up! The only substance that can harm and kill Clark to get Lana to leave him. Even THEN Clark was still begging Lana to stay so she could be a part of his life.
If it was anything else besides Green K.....Clana would still be together.
TPTB had to drive it home that these two people are the love of each other's lives.

Totally agree with this! Can't wait to see Clois's relationship blossom.

Now that Lex has given Lana cooties so Clark can't touch her, Clark will have no choice but to turn to Lois.

I wish they would've broken up willingly too. But I agree with what you said - he's going to realize Lana never came close. I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!!!!!

My main problem is that Lois was present to witness all the Clark*Lana drama. If she wasn't in his life at the time, believing he loves her more would not be a problem.

If I personally were a Clana fan I would not be celebrating this ending, not by a long shot.
But I do agree that all Clark seemed to know was Lana; however, Lois seems to not be a fan of rollercoasters and partially for that aspect of her healthy respect for love Clark will realize that she is the one who he is destined to be with as his forever soulmate.

Correct - and as Jack Palance used to say, "Confidence is very sexy."
I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) immediately after Alicia either but apparently everyone else did. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she ran off to Paris and lived with Jason Teague who was trying to get the stones that Clark needed to build the Fortress but I guess some could. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she leaves Clark for not telling her his secret, running to his enemy, sleeping with his enemy, telling him that she never knew why she would love him, and then frolicked in her new life with Lex until she found out that her baby was faked. By that point, apparently some did. I couldn't buy that Lana was the one (again) after she slept with and preferred the company of Bizarro, but apparently a few still do.
So, because Clark and Lana are separated by her kryptonite poisoning, it doesn't mean that Clark can't overcome the feelings he has for Lana and move on to Lois or anyone else they put in his path. Is it that Clark can't love anyone other than Lana? No - Alicia and Khyla are two that he did love (briefly). If anything, it shows that Clark is so desperate to find someone who can love him for who he is that he grabs onto almost anyone who accepts his secret or who has their own powers that make them feel isolated. Lois doesn't have to resort to technology or special powers to feel like she is worthy of Clark and doesn't treat him like a God, which keeps him in touch with his humanity, IMO.
Quoting because this whole thing is a brilliant sum up with one small addition: I couldn't buy it because in the beginning Lana was all over Whitney as well.
