Clana over for good finally?

[shirkie]

Well, this time, the Clana lasted an entire two episodes before ending (similar to the Clana at the end of Season 2 before "Kal" ran off to Metropolis).

The question is... Is this the final death blow for the Clana, or do you think they'll get back together again sometime before the end of the series?

DISCUSS!

IT's OVER !!!!;)

[ma200]

nah, It won't be over until Almiles says it's over and that is before smallville ends.

But really, I honestly believe they'll end up being better people if they just mutually split.

[Mydhrin]

I dont even think that its over to start with. By the spoilers of Aqua, i believe that Clana is still strong. Although, Clark will have started to lie again. Im still waiting some kind of talk about all of his resurection...

I think its going to need more then that to finish Clana, more so forever...

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

I truly believe it's the beginning of the end ;)

[Old Juan]

Are we talking happy Clana here? Because they are still together as far as I can tell by episodes end. The spoilers we have here at K-Site indicated that they're still together at least through episode 10. The care-free Clana might be gone but the relationship isn't, not yet.

[shirkie]

Now remember, the poll isn't about whether you'd LIKE it to be over or whether you'd LIKE it to start up again... It's about whether you think it IS over... Does that make sense? Not that we can't DISCUSS whether we want it to be over or not, but I'm curious to find out how many people-- regardless of being pro-Clana, anti-Clana, neutral-Clana-- think "Hidden" represented the final blow to Clana.

As for me, I HOPE it's over, but as for the poll question... I have faith in Al/Miles' never-ending ability to drag on Clana forever and ever... So I wonder if maybe Clana will happen again briefly before SV ends. However, I voted "Yes, it's over" though simply because Clark seemed very sure of himself at the end of "Hidden" when saying he couldn't be with Lana without her knowing his secret, and he can't tell her his secret, so... (fill in blanks). Complicated!

I think that Chloe may have hit a spot on Clark. Even though Clark sounded resilient and that he is certain he has no other option, what Chloe said didnt fall in a depth ear. But, from the shows PoV, i believe its again a gimmick to restart the angst between those 2, since they believe that they cant do a descent relationship for a tv show without it. HEY, what about those 3 beautiful episodes you just pulled up???

[GatorTex]

I do believe Clark is going to "accidentally" reveal his powers to Lana as CK did in Superman 2 when he "tripped" and fell in the fireplace revealing them to Lois. From there I believe they will have a mutual split both realizing they cannot be with each other. As much as I hate saying that! Clark's future is with Lois and we all know that....

[F-Stop Blues]

I dont think its over. Knowing Clark he'll just keep on lying until Lana runs off to Lex. You can tell thats the angle they are playing.

Its funny he had no problems being with her before and while he may have been powerless he still had secrets. Like the fact that he is a alien. Again all the spoilers indicate that Clark and Lana are still a couple as of the tenth episode this season.

[Mydhrin]

Unfortunatly, even though i pray to god this isnt true, i believe that its going to happen...

[Deviant]

Im praying its over!

[Hydra]

How can they 'get back together'? As far as I was aware they still haven't broken up.

[Poetic Chaos]

Well right now it's not "over" but once it is, I think this is the last round.

[chlarklove]

Yeah, it's the beginning of the end. And once it's over.. it'll be over for good.

[SmvilleTeacher]

It's not over yet, but yes it will come to an end before the season ends. The split of Clana is to be bitter/sweet. I am wondering how that will pan out. It seems like Clark loves Lana with a deep emotional tie - not high school love. Lois is supposed to be the love of Clark's life. I wonder how they are going to end the realtionship without Clark yearning for Lana the rest of his life.

[Atrocity]

I think it's still going on strong! Remember Lana going to Lex at the end to still cover for Clark.

[GhostRider]

Clana will never really be over until the end of the series no matter what. It will always be hanging out there in some fashion irregardless of what the status of their relationship is.

Now if you're asking if they are still a couple the answer is yes. They are still together. It's obvious Clark is going to try to stay with Lana without telling her the secret. Which of course will cause problems and may result with them breaking up sometime down the road.

[Black cat]

For me: One can only hope. :rolleyes:

For the poll: Is that a funeral dirge I hear? :)

[buffywill07]

agree, the beginning of the end

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong, because I only watched "Hidden" once, but didn't Clark say........

1. He couldn't be in a relationship with Lana if she didn't know his secret
AND
2. He can't take the risk of telling her his secret.

Put these two statements together, and it implies he will break up with Lana in the next episode ("Aqua") because he knows he can't risk telling her his secret, but their relationship won't work unless he tells her. This is why I think they're "over."

Can anyone do a transcript of Clark's final convo with Chloe for confirmation of what I'm saying?

[Mydhrin]

Here it is:

...

-Chloe:But if you honnestly believe that you can stay with Lana and not tell her, then i believe you are seriously kidding yourself.

-Clark:I dont have a choice. I cant expect her to react like you did.

-Chloe:But dont you think you owe her the choice?

-Clark:I cant take that risk. (long pause) Ive risked too much already.

...

Chloe is definitly right in both statements here. The first one is true because Lana is known to be in an honnest relationship. Although this might have changed a little since last season but still...

Chloe is also right on her second statement. It is not for Clark to make that judgment because he is not her. That is the important part.

Now, Clark answers are all motivated by his fear of rejection by Lana. He believe that once he tells her everything, Lana will reject him, wether because he killed his parent or because hes an alien. But, the important thing here is that all of this is based Clarks assumptions of Lanas feelings and reactions. It is in NO way a garantee that she will react like that. What follows is speculation on my part. Although, she will surely not react like Chloe did, she will be angry at Clark for not trusting her before. She will go away for a few time and realize that deep down, Clark is still the man she loves and that will make her happy. A little bit like Pete did.

Now, Clarks second statement is also motivated by his fear of rejection by Lana. Since Jor-El told him that hes going to lose a loved one because of his action, a risk he took by disobeying his father, he wont add take the risk of losing Lana because he reveals everything to her. Again this is based on his assumptions of her reaction, which is pretty surely false.

Also, what Clark must realize is that he is going to lose her if he doesnt tell her. The lies will start to affect their relationship once more and Lana will start to pull away like anybody in her position. Lets hope that Clark realizes this before its too late...

Clark didn't say that he couldn't be in a relationship with Lana. But he did say he couldn't take the risk of telling her. Chloe told him that wouldn't work. Clark, being is typical dumb self, seems to think he can. Like I said before this makes Clark a liar, a coward, and fool. He isn't perfect at this point but this is pretty bad. Get ready for more angst over the same stupid thing again.

However they're still together; secrets and all.

[rosewolfe87]

They've still got a couple of episodes left as a couple. They haven't broken if off yet. It's in the spoilers.

[LexLuthor92]

it's not over yet. though I wish it was...

[Beans]

I just think that if he doesn't think she will accept him (even though there are countless times when she has gotten angry when he's suggested it *try Scare*) after he tells her, like Chloe does, then can he really be in love with her? Can he really tell himself "I'm in love with a girl, although she doesn't know who I am because she won't accept me?" That can't be real.

[shirkie]

How is he going to explain no longer being able to have sex to Lana? It seemed as if Lana was the iniator of the sex in the barn in "Mortal," so it's likely her "appetite" for sex is as hearty as (or, possibly, heartier than) Clark's... She's going to wonder...

I hope its over ...i hope its over..

[Kryptonian Sage]

Well, what we have for the episode called 'Lexmas' hints that something with them is still going if that's any inclination of their relationahip.
