What's with Lana [Archive] - KSiteTV Television & Movie Forums

I guess more importantly...HOW DID SHE GET THEM??? I doubt the doctors handed them over, nor the Kents offered them for her to deliver to Lex.

Still, what a great scene! Lex is way out in the open.....professing his belief Clark's an alien, claiming Lana is naieve (sp?) for believing Clark's "lies". I side with Chloe (always) in that Clark is kidding himself to expect any kind of relationship with Lana if he doesn't tell her, and it's not right if she has to confront him on it.

Indeed, that could be the loss that Jor-El inferred, that by not telling her, or otherwise keeping distant, he will lose theone he loves....

perhaps, she's in denial; that she just wants to keep living in this dream world that she and clark created for themselves. Afterall, romance is sometimes built on illusion.

She's probably afraid that Lex will destroy what she and Clark had, when he kept telling her that Clark is nothing more than a liar.

No, purhaps your missing the point. Those medical recors shows that all is normal with Clark. Nothing is out of the ordinary and that is EXACTLY what she wanted to show Lex, that Clark was as normal as he is. Lana did exactly what Clark did in Mortal when they fought. They want to prove to Lex that Clark is normal...

EDIT:Why do you think she made that speach to Lex???

Kal-El 2005

10-13-2005, 10:58 PM

Yeah but Clark knew he wasn't normal and this was a good opportunity to prove otherwise, but that was really stupid of her to go to him so soon after... how was she going to explain him coming back from the dead, Benny Hinn healed him??

Missed the point? He's Lex Luthorrrr, if she LOVES Clark the last thing she should do is goto Lex for any reason.

Mydhrin

10-13-2005, 11:15 PM

True, but she tried and helped Clark, even though she doesnt know the full story. I dont see it as a bad action, but as a compassion one about Clark. She wants Lex to leave him alone and her in the same process...

Well here's a plan tell Clark that the great Lex Luthor tried to Blackmail you. This way you can both stay away.

This was one of my few gripes with the episode. They did not really explain why she brought the records to him. In the beginning of the episode, she made it clear that she didn't really want to have anything to do with Lex. Then by the end, she is bringing him Clark's medical file? I also agree, that it is even more ridiculous of how she got it.

Now it could be just to prove the point that Clark is normal. But still, it didn't really make a lot of sense.

To me its one of those favors Lex is calling in. Remember the whole hiding of the dead body of Mrs. Teague. Lana owes him one.. or two or three. Its called blackmail.

GatorTex

10-13-2005, 11:35 PM

Lex wouldn't pull the blackmail card on Lana unless he absolutely "had" to. This was all in Lana's subconscious mind knowing Lex has the resources to find out the truth of the secretive CK and she wants in as well....and possibly to get Lex away from her for awhile!

maybe this is the ONE that Lana owes L... whoever the heck L was. and yes she does show Lex that Clark is normal... but Lex still doesn't buy it.

10-14-2005, 12:36 AM

Seeing his get burnt by a Laser, giving him a bloody lip didn't work, but Lana's stern tone with medical records this will put it all to an end:p

BlueNRed2

10-14-2005, 12:54 AM

I've been mulling over that scene for a few hours now.

The impression i get is that Lex and Lana have, to some extent, "discussed" Clark's true nature at some point in time.It looked as though she was throwing it up as proof that Clark is normal.

The points tidbits I took from it were:
1.) Lex still thinks Clark is different despite the confrontation in Mortal.
2.)Lana definately has speculated something about Clark until this episode. She even states that her speculations were wrong.
3.)Lex is definately trying to play Lana against Clark by causing her to doubt Clark's true self.

Will be interesting to see whats coming.

Ultron

10-14-2005, 01:07 AM

I think she was just doing that to show Clark is normal. Only really unless there is magic involved, he should just be a depowered Kryptonian, and there should be some genetic proof he's not human. But we'll see how that goes. :)

Yup.

She was doing it to help Clark, and get Lex off his case.

Considering that Lana and Clark were part of the no more secrets, no more lies thing (which is over now!) I bet Clark told her about his confrontation with Lex. Which probably made Lana want to prove to Lex that he's normal, so he would leave them alone. And Clana isn't over yet!

I don't think she'll look bad, i think Clark will realize that she was just trying to help him. If he doesn't then Clark is an idiot.

10-14-2005, 02:51 AM

I mean she'll look bad in the sense that she was defended Clark to Lex saying he was human and its really not true.

That's if she even finds out that he's NOT human in this season.

Lana doesn't want to know Clark is different. Lex hoit that nail right on the head. SHe has to believe he's normal in order to stay in the relationship because she's on record as not likeing those who are different. The fact that Clark knows she'd hate him but remains interested in her, much less having sex with her is abominable. ANd what's worse, that he didn't tell her before so he could have sex with her makes Clark look pretty bad.

But this has been clear from the beginning when Lana used her own selfish excuse of staying wiht Whitney because he makes me feel safe, while ignoring the truth which was that WHitney mistreated Clark horribly. It's hiding the truth from yourself for completely selfish reasons. THis makes them both look very bad.

smalltowngal

10-14-2005, 10:43 AM

Ok I do believe that Lex and Lana have had a conversation about Clark's differences, and that this was one favor that Lex asked for in return (bringing the medical files or making sure the dr.'s said it in front of Lana), it seems like a petty task for someone so powerful, but Lex did turn this moment into more doubt on Lana's behalf. As much as she loves Clark she still knows he's different and is blinded by love to see the truth. So Lex gets the win in this battle.

TML

10-14-2005, 10:54 AM

I didn't find what she did in any way disturbing.
The records were completely and utterly normal, and I doubt they contained the information about the blood sample.

She simply gave Lex another bone to chew on.

scififan

10-14-2005, 11:04 AM

As has been said previously, she did it to help Clark not hurt him. Lana knows that Lex thinks that Clark has power, so what better way than to show otherwise? She gave Lex the hospital results that show that Clark is completely human, nothing abnormal about him. Granted Lex doesn't belive it but at least it has put doubt into his mind.

Then again it will only make him dig more for proof that Clark is not human.

Aloof

10-14-2005, 12:36 PM

Perhaps it has to do with that "You Owe Me One -L" or maybe she's trying to prove to lex that Clark is human.

If I were an 18-year-old and my girlfriend somehow obtained my confidential medical records and gave them to someone who could be my enemy, I would be more than slightly pissed and baffled.

Hello! This is not an easy task. (Unless you are Chloe!) When did she get them anyway? After Clark disappered I would think that the last thing she would think to do is hunt down his medical records.

"Gee, my dead boyfriend's body just disappered. I think I will steal his medical records to prove to Lex that Clark's human." Yeah, that makes sense! :rolleyes:

And just the fact that Lex knew she had her own doubts about Clark makes me wonder if they ever discussed it in detail. Is this the beginning of Lexana? And Clark was worried about Chloe betraying him? He better watch his back around Lana now. Just wait until the old "Secrets and Lies" begin again. :\

What's with Lana? If she thinks that any medical records could possibly explain Clark's rise from the dead and that nothing is out of the ordinary with him she is stupid, clueless and/or in denial.

shirkie

10-14-2005, 11:45 PM

I'm just mad that she obtained the records. That is definitely big-time breach of confidentiality. We buy it when it's Chloe, because she's supposed to be this snoopy character with "sources" all over the place and whatnot... But Lana, little miss "I hate thecreth and lieth!", is now the one who is STEALING her boyfriend's CONFIDENTIAL medical records and giving them to his enemy? Regardless of her reason for doing so, what she did was ILLEGAL and WRONG and completely negates all her babbling about thecreth and lieth. GAH.

How could she let him have the last word like that? Utterly pointless, like the scene with Lois and Lionel in the prison when she first came on.

10-16-2005, 04:11 PM

i just wanted to say, that at the end, it really seemed like Lana believed clark was normal, like she seemed to have the face that said "what if lex is right?"....

but i don't get that because your boyfriend died in the hospital, his body disapears, the next time you see him is in clothes he wasn't wearing before looking awfully smashed up.... like common, something doesn't add up in that! It would be really great if lana was trying to help clark, but i really didn't get that feeling at the end when she comforted lex.

rosewolfe87

10-16-2005, 04:21 PM

I think Lana KNOWS that he's not normal. She just doesn't have any proof, other than his oddness.

Of course, WE see the things he does. I mean, he starts fires in the Talon, he saves her from bees, he comes back from the dead. There is no way that she CAN'T know that he's not normal.

DarkClone

10-16-2005, 07:00 PM

maybe she stupidly thought it would be a way to get Lex's jealous ass of her back . . . maybe that was her way of making up for the "You owe me. L" in paper from the premiere.

ixnay

10-17-2005, 02:55 PM

I don't know if you guys just noticed but Lana didn't give Clark's medical report to Lex.

When she's leaving it's possible to see that she takes the report on her right hand I believe. :p

lzpoof

10-17-2005, 03:44 PM

I thought it was fairly obvious that she did it to keep Lex away from them out of sheer desperation. She was happy in the 'relationship' she had and Lex is the only character on Smallville really with the resources or ambition to expose Clark and ruin her illusion. Lionel maybe could but he hasn't expressed interest in it in a while and Lex obviously has a double interest in breaking Lana away from clark and exposing Clark.

Basest Rue

10-17-2005, 04:46 PM

I think Lana is frightened by the idea that Clark may not be normal, and the medical records are as much to comfort and reassure herself as they are to make a point to Lex. Lana does a lot to protect herself. This is just one more thing.

And she definitely has mixed feelings toward Lex. Many times when she has a problem, she goes to him to ask him to fix it. She also confronts him about his meddling and manipulating. It's a very complicated relationship she has with him. I think she brings the records to him because, in an odd way, she trusts his opinion.

shirkie

10-17-2005, 10:36 PM

How could Lana get access to them anyways though? To get YOUR OWN medical records, you have to fill out a bunch of paperwork, giving explicit legal permission for copies to be made, and it takes like a week for the papers to come in and you have to pay like $25 for the first 20 pages plus 50 cents per additional page or something! Eeeeek!

Lana held out the file for Lex to take, only Lex didn't take it. He gestured towards it and reminded her that the file was confidential. It doesn't really matter anyway, since Lana told Lex what was in Clark's file herself.

It was completely stupid, and made Lana look horrible. She has no right to Clark's medical files herself, let alone to steal them and take them to Lex. And then her snide remark that Clark believes in people who don't deserve it. She doesn't talk that **** when she needs a body disposed of.

I have a REALLY bad feeling there's going to be LEXANA down the road. Deep inside her she really admires that man. She'e going to be swayed by him. And obviously Lex has got strong feelings for her.. EEEW!!!!

Poor Clark....

The lies are already back and Lana is the one starting them. Actually they never ended since Clark still didn't reveal his origin before restarting his relationship with her. Now Lana is going behind his back and stealing his medical records and bringing them to his worst enemy (which is very wrong/illegal, and impossible for someone with minimal access and/or "influence" as Lana; unless she slept with the person in charge of the records;) ). Yeah, Lana is really going to tell Clark the truth about this.

And as for evidence, what more needs to be mentioned than Clark came back from being dead. If that does not scream abnormal, then nothing does. What will he do now, lie about taking that serum that was made out of his blood (from S3), when that thing had flaws and needed to be constantly injected? I don't think so.

I think Lexana would be very interesting. I'd love to see Chlark vs. Lexana this season. As ridiculous as that scene was (in regards to how believable it would be for her to get those records) I thought the tension levels and the mood was great.

Lana obviously thinks Clark is not normal. That seed was implanted in her head by the likes of Perry White in Perry and Van McNulty in Extinct. Her surviving the twister in Vortex also raised questions along with him beating the crap out of 3 guys in Precipice. I think by now she's in denial about Clark and this denial is taking away any sense of right & wrong (though we have seen her be exploitive in the past, but she seems to be getting worse now). I hope this end of a loved one thing of Lionel/Jor-El turns out to be Clana, which dies due to him becoming mortal (and thinking he can start a relationship with her like that). It certainly seems like everything is falling in place for this to happen.

I actually hope we see Chlionark (no, not a love triangle ;) ) where Clark confides in Chloe and Lionel and that Lex is further driven down the path of darkness when he sees Clark and his own father bonding. I think we will be seeing Summerholt appearing again *very* soon. They can still bring back Level 33.1 if they continue to go down this path. I would devote a season where Lana resents Clark after finding out his secret and then the beginning of the next season, have something happen where Lana gets kidnapped at Level 33.1 and Clark eventually saves her proving to her that he's not the horrible kind of alien that the freak army (or whoever) in Level 33.1 are. But at this point, Clark would have to be over her and rely on her as only a friend.

Lex and Lana belong together - they're both clingy and needy and suffocate Clark with how much they want to control their friendship with him. Lex and Lana have way more in common. They deserve each other.

Exactly! And as to Lana... I can see why Clark doesn't want to tell her his secret. She's untrustworthy.

And yes, I know that Clark knows nothing about her secret late night meeting with Lex where she discussed his private medical records (Can I make this sound worse?), but what makes you think that when the Lexana begins (And it is coming people!) Lex won't casually mention it to Clark. Then the proverbial crap will hit the fan and bye-bye Lana.

I mean, we buy it when Chloe does stuff like this because she supposedly has sources and she bribes people and stuff. But Lana is supposed to be Miss Anti-Thecreth-and-Lieth and sweetness and spice and everything nice, and here she is sneaking around and accessing confidential medical records. That's a MAJOR HIPAA violation.

I think she's, as Dawn Stiles in Spirit said, a hipocrat. I just loved how in S4 she was complaining to Jason about all the secrets and lies and how Jasana was turning out to be all about the stones when she took the stone that he took *for her* and hid it from everyone.
I think that hiding the stone from everyone including Jason was an awesome move on her part. It really showed if the ones around her were interested in the stones or her and the stones won... Thats one of the thing that surprised me the most last year :)

Basest Rue

10-19-2005, 08:37 PM

Lana once said to Clark that she was afraid he would find out that she's not as nice as he thinks she is. Lana isn't supposed to be all sweetness and light. She's always been a little "conflicted" in terms of what she expects from other people and the things she does herself.

This season is going to be really interesting in terms of Lana and how her relationships w/ Lex and Clark evolve. Lex and Clark are going to be bringing out the two different sides of her personality.

margroks

10-20-2005, 07:35 AM

Yes; she's a hipocrit of the worst kind. Secrets and lies are okay if they're hers but no one else is allowed to keep anything from her. When she snooped in Chloe's computer file? That was an "accident" but this is okay. Lana not only looks at but steals Clark's private medical files and worse yet, offers them to Lex. even as she gripes at Lex for doing exactly what she is and some people think that's completely okay. Chloe looked at Clark's adoption file with no ill intent in a series of circumstances that have been explained over and over yet people still complain. But Lana can do no wrong; she can do worse, show something private to his worst enemy and that's acceptable and she will suffer no consequences for it at all.

Of course, Lana will go to Lex eventually when she starts griping at Clark and being jealous of any time he spends away from her supremely important self just as she went to Lex about Jason. Read the official rants at the WB site, if you want to know exactly where this is going but anyone could see it coming. We have to endure almost five years of Clark mooning over this self centered little girl, finally seeing him screw her and lying about who he is to do it because he knows she wouldn't accept him then see Clark finally understand what she really is.

Even though the audience has seen things Clark hasn't and so know more about her nasty tendencies, from the very second episode of this series Clark saw what kind of person she was enough to have more sense than this. Why do we have to watch this just to have him finally admit it to himself and after he's bedded her is beyond me. She's never deserved Clark's attention and he should have known it long before now.

And all the retcon bedside speeches in the world won't erase what we know Lana's really like from her words and actions in these past four years. She never, in a million years thought so well of Clark the moment she saw him or worried about him being hurt as an excuse for staying away and that's been made clear by her treatment of him on screen.

Mydhrin

10-20-2005, 08:02 AM

Ok, all of you are sreaming that she stole the medicals files and went to Lex behind Clarks back. How are you absolutly positive that this is the case??? You said it yourselves, nobody has access to medical files besides the patient himself and im not even sure if that is so easy.

The only scene we had with Clana since their reunion is... ... ... their reunion. But that doesnt mean they didnt talk! When they reunited, it was morning. When she was at Lex, it was night. What happened in the entire day between them, because i doubt that Lana and Clark would just separate after the big loss.

My question is this: What if its Clark that got his medical files and gave them to Lana to go see Lex since if it was Clark that would have gone, it wouldnt have done nothing? What if Clark just used Lana to try persuade Lex that he is normal (with her approuval evidently)? We never heard Lana saying "I got them behind Clarks back!". Dont forget that Clark knows that coming back from the dead isnt a normal thing, so he has to prove it to the ones to curious about this that he is normal...

Ok, now to the "secrets and lies" thing about Lana. You are right, she WAS always asking for this BEFORE. But now things have changed! It started near the end of last season and now its continuing in this season. Both of them accepted to "No more secrets, no more lies" because both of them didnt want to deal with the pass they had together. Even if thats a bad idea, they know that both of them has secrets from each other, but they "pushed it under the rug" so that they could have a relationship. That is something that the Lana you say would not have done being the same girl she was in season 2 or 3...

Im guessing that the "secrets and lies" will be a part of this relationship. But its not the ideal of no secrets and no lies that is going to break the couple up, but the secrets themselves resurfacing and this wont happen soon.

margroks

10-20-2005, 08:44 AM

No, that's not it. Clark and Lana are both like ostriches. Lana wants to pretend Clark is normal because she can't handle that he's not and Lex is completely right about that. She hated people who are different and Clark knows this so he lies about his origin and pretends he's human which he never was since losing his powers doesn't equal no being born on another planet nor would it excuse him (in Lana's mind) from being responsible for both meteor showers, especially the one that pancakes the Langs and this, too is one of Clark's greatest fears (Scared) for which I refer you to the above, due to Lana's unaccepting nature.

THere very relationship, especially when it comes to sex (icky!) is only okay in what passes for Clark's mind because he tried to convince himself he was human and is therefore built on a huge lie. THere's no sweeping that monumenbtal lie under the rug and it's not iancient history. Those lies are in no way buried in the past but are right in front of him all the time. That anyone could think he's okay lying to her so he could justify screwing her is outrageous even though I don't think she's worth the time of day much less the hero's affection. And as for Lana, well, she's was in bed with the Luthors long before she got her hooks into Clark.

She's always been willing to use Lex and claim him as friend when it suited her purpose like getting the Talon or selling it, renting the apartment up stairs again or finding out info on her boyfriends or others or, let's not forget, throwing in with both Lex and Lionel and allowing them to cover up her murdering her boyfriend's mother. She didn't have the guts to risk any consequences whatsoever after killing someone so she lied about that and that's pretty nasty.

As for the files, Clark wants nothing to do with Lex and I have no reason to think he's send Lana on such an errand. He appears to have washed his hands of Lex at the moment and while it might be smart to obfuscate his true nature by doing something like this, it doesn't smack of Clark. Maybe, but we got no hint that that was the case. I think Clark would go himself if he got the files for that purpose.

This whole season is based on M&G's rehashing of "can the hero have a girlfriend and keep his secret." We can expect more of this lame nonsense all year long, a drawn out, boring rehash of their Spiderman script actually except that MJ was totally ready to accept her hero for what he was. Proving that, if the hero picks the right girl, he doesn't have to keep secrets and lie to have a relationship or sneak away to do his thing. His love can be his partner and it's no problem at all. Too bad Clark's not smart enough to figure that out.

I agree.
Clark has no reason to prove anything futher to Lex after their "fight". And as protective as he is about Lana there is no way he would send her alone at night with his records to confront Lex. Clark doesn't send women to fight his battles, especially when he considers them over. This was Lana all the way. She wanted to know the "truth" about Clark or she wouldn't have even thought of showing Lex the files or read them herself first. And I'll bet she won't tell Clark anything about it because she would know he would freak.

Hence the Chlois theory, to which I am a firm subscriber.

You, i disagree on the part that Lana has an unacceptable nature. She never said she hated anything that wasnt human first. She said she would be a LITTLE bit freaked out by an alien, but who wouldnt be, heck even Chloe was! We have also saw Lana be friend with Byron, Adam before he was a killer, her being the witch, there are so many clues that right now, Lana is more ready to accept that Clark isnt normal now then ever before.

Clarks fear is indeed Lanas rejection for any reason, wether being he killer her parents or him simply being what he is. But its HIS fears based on HIS assumptions of her reactions. Hes not Lana and he certainly doesnt know how she will react until he grows some balls and tells her. At start, Clark was afraid of telling Chloe because he was afraid of her reaction. Its just that Chloe has given hints to Clark, especially after she knew his powers, that she can accept his secret. Thats what missing on Lanas part, a hint to Clark that she is ready to accept his secret and will accept no matter what it is...

I agree though, now with Clarks powers back, his lies and the ones of Lana will resurface and it will cause the problem. Everything that they tried to forget will make a snowball effect and come back right at them. And for Lana lying, well i agree that she shouldve at least told Clark, but she decided not too. Like all the lies Clark has, this one is going to be a snowball effect and come back right at their faces, especially since Lex is involved...

As for the "can a hero have a girlfriend and keep his secret" theme, yah i read this. Although its something that has been already in SV, they are redoing it. I doubt and hope thats its going to last all season because we know as hell that they have a HELLUVA more things and themes to touch in this season!

Also, i wont put out the theory i just about Clark sending Lana. One thing that pissed me off in Hidden is that their was no Clana talk after the reunion. Im hoping to see a big one in Aqua, although with the spoilers we have it doesnt look like it.

EDIT:

Clark has no reason to prove anything futher to Lex after their "fight". And as protective as he is about Lana there is no way he would send her alone at night with his records to confront Lex. Clark doesn't send women to fight his battles, especially when he considers them over.
Do you sincerly think that Clark thinks his battle with Lex and his secret his over? Do you really believe that after 4 years Clark would expect Lex to just give up, especially after being brought back from the dead???

I really doubt that...

No, I don't think that. But, at that moment, in that episode, the last thing Clark was thinking about was proving his humanity once again to Lex. Only Lana was concerned with this. Clark was consumed with Jor-El and what he had planned. His Lex worries will come later, now that he has his powers back. That is what I meant by that statement. Lana did this on her own. To satisfy her own curiosity under the guise of proving something to Lex.
