This is the Lexana Prelude!....The Beginning!

[No-El]

As a Chlarker, I write this to sympathize to all my Clana friends and fellow posters and most important the Tom Welling fans!

As this 'Splinter' episode marks the beginning that may lay the groundwork of a future relationship between Lex Luthor and Lana Lang!

This is the illusion of Clark as we all know and if it were happening to Chloe----I would not survive it!!!! :( :(

I hope you all go into this evening with just an open mind and not take it literally!! Enjoy Smallville as always people! Peace.

Any thoughts afterwards??:(

[RedPhoenix23]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS!

Bring on the Lexana!

[Liriel]

I don't mind the Lexana if it's well-executed. Just so long as Lex keeps moving down the path of evil and that, not Lana is what makes Clark and he enemies.

However, I would prefer any Lana/Lex relationship happen after her breakup with Clark (though Lex may be a contributing factor to that breakup).

[LaineSV11]

Lexana will be cool if it's executed right, like liriel said.. lana is just getting boring, why not make her be with a villian to make her interesting

[Kreukie]

I don't see Lana falling for Lex. I just don't. :\

Agreed. Bring on Lexana. We need to shake things up in SV.;)

[DGreen]

noooooooooooooooooooo nooooooooooooooo
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......and just to add some emphasis.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Damali]

Bring on Lexana!!!!!......I'm lovin' it, all ready.

This will definitly be an interesting storyline and if the writers don't completely blow it, it should be good.

[Mr. E]

I think it's all in Clarks head actually...

[Watching Smallville]

But the idea is in Lex's head, too!

Depends on how they do it. Before I see it, I'm having trouble believing it! But I know it's coming.

[SmvilleTeacher]

Not looking forward to the Lexana. I agree w/ Liriel, though, that I don't want the final rift b/w Lex and Clark to be over Lana. Likewise, I don't want the end of Clana to come about because of Lex. Both these relationships need to dissolve under different circumstances.

[smalltowngal]

I could see Lana with Lex. With Clark their relationship is boring, Lana has secrets that only Lex knows and the relationship would be exciting. She wouldn't care that lex has secrets from her as long as he doesn't expose her secrets!

Right. I can live with Lexana, if it's done well. Which means it needs to be it's own issue, not the cause of a breakup or the making of eternal enemies.

I understand those who don't think Lana'd fall for Lex. I agree in a way. She wouldn't fall for the real Lex - he's got too much bad him. But he can be charismatic and he can be a knight on a white horse when he wants to be. I could see Lana being confused from her recently-ended relationship with Clark and turning to Lex who is comforting and would make her feel special and safe and secure (those last two seem really big with Lana).

Likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if Lex's attraction to Lana were more about her perceived "innocence" (not talking about sex) and his own peculiar I-wish-I-was-Clark/what-Clark-wants-I-want type weirdness than about Lana, the real person.

If the relationship were to be depicted as unhealthily and as confusing as I think it should be though, it could work. Short-term. Because there's no way Lana could continue to stay with him with what he'll become, and she'll see it eventually, and Lex Luthor won't continue to care about others, even the sought-after Lana.

oh god no! anyone but lois. heck!... take martha, but not lois. (did i just say martha? *shudders*)

[shy175223]

WHy not? I think it would be a pretty interesting relationship between them. Let's see if he could take someone like Lois.

[akuma]

Ugh i think im gonna vomit tonight when Lexana kiss tonight, so nasty, i prefer the Clana, but anything over Lexana, thats just wrong!

it's so wrong, but it feels so right. :D

[MyOwnSuperhero]

I pumped for Lexana - they've been clearly hinting towards this since season three, and I personally see Lexana undercurrents back in early S1. Al and Miles have wanted a big 3 triangle the whole time, but Lana being underage made it too creepy. So what did they do? They dragged out Clana angst for a couple seasons to let her get older, regularly have Lana running into the arms of evil psychos, and even introduce an illicit teacher/student relationship (Jason) so that by the time Lexana rolls around it won't seem so creepy.

And just look at how well they've built this - right now, Clark and Lana are together, but have secrets rapidly accumulating between them. Lex, on the other hand, not only knows of her secrets, but he has just brought Lana into the "biggest secret in the world". So suddenly (as far as Lana is concerned, anyway) Lex is the honest one of the three! Even better, he started sowing seeds of doubt when Clark mysteriously came back to life.

And to those who are angry about 'the rift' being over a girl - It's not. It'll still be about good and evil, honesty and lies. However, Lana will be the catalyst to bring these tensions to a head, and truly end the friendship. She's not a girl, she's the unattainable object that they'll compete for, and the monkey's paw that curses them both.

That'd be awesome! The reason I never liked Lexana is because I never thought I guy like Lex should be tied down with a girl like Lana. She's more of an obstacle than anything else. He's got enough to deal with without her added whining and what-not. I always thought he'd be better suited to a girl like Lois: Fiery, strong, independent, and can take care of herself just fine. She doesn't NEED a man, and that's what makes her so appealing.

And who wouldn't want to see Clark's reaction to a steamy Lexis relationship? It would be priceless!

PLUS Lexis is real comic book canon. Can't say the same for Lexana! :p

Somewhere, at some level, I think it's in Lana's too.

Go Lexana!!:D

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

I wouldn't have minded Lexis last season but now I can't see Lois with the guy who roughed up her cousin :\

Anyways I think it's ironic that Lana seems to trust Lex more than she does Clark

Did Chloe tell Lois about that? Probably not. So Lexis is still a possibility.

Hmmm don't know, she might not have. I think if she had Lois would have probably kicked his behind ;)

[cotton candy girl]

Six words: "Lana Lang will never love you". :D

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Coming from Lionel that doesn't mean much really ;) Lionel isn't exactly the love expert ;)

[cotton candy girl]

IMO, that has nothing to do with anything. ;) It's foreshadowing perhaps and hopefully. Deknight sure made that comment stick out. :)

[Summers]

Plus don't forget Lex loves to prove his father wrong. That will is what keeps him to go beyond his limits, and to see what he might have in "Lexmas". Oh, I think I can see Lex's determination to get what he wants.

[cotton candy girl]

And I think I see foreshadowing.

EDIT: Why are we so flip-flopped? You see foreshadowing where I don't and vice versa. Maybe we both see what we want to see. :)

I'm not a SV shipper. I ship no one in this show any longer since S3. I see what I see objectivity. I don't agree with Lexana, but I know it is coming and is inevitable.

Sorry, but I think that's your opinion. This is a triangle "to a degree" and not a relationship.

Having TPTB of the show say:
-this a triangle we waited for since S1
-to be Lana legal
-Lex will go after Lana now since there is no longer a friendship with Clark
-and tell us Clark's reaction to Lexana

This was said after the "to a degree" statement.

Sorry, but this is not my opinion, but TPTB. Your really aren't disagreeing with me, but them lol.

No I'm not. We saw CLark's reaction to "Lexana" tonight. I think all of what they said will be seen in "fake" Lexana. But I see we won't agree at this time. We're doing a round robin, and it's late. :)

If that was the case we wouldn't see it again in "Lexmas" ;). Clark's reaction is another foreshadowing of what is to come, and we will get a more of a reaction out of it.

Frankly, we won't at any time :lol:. If the producers are so high strong on this since S1, then I really don't see them backing down at all. They never care what the fans opinions, but their own. This is what they wanted since the beginning, and now that they have the chance they are taking it.

If you clearly think I want Lexana then your are mistaken. I haven't shipped any ship in SV since S3. This is all objective.

[cotton candy girl]

They'd better care. I think they will when a massive amount of tv's turn off like in S4.

BTW, I think Lexmas proves my point; it's all fake again. I think Lionel's words were real foreshadowing: "Lana Lang will never love you".:D

EDIT: I'm not saying you're a Lexana shipper. I just think THIS is their way of doing Lexana. I think they know people would be too repulsed by Lexana to have them in a real relationship. I'd say the majority of viewers would be.

They never care. They trash talk their own fans since S2. There is no way of knowing of that. No one can predict the ratings. Speculation yes, but can't really predict.

Any time their is a dream of the same thing twice it is a foreshaowing in tv of what is to come.

Lexana is show twice in the envision of Lex and Clark. Two men with different brains lol. Lexana foreshadowing since the "Metamorphis". We have all the interviews by the producers.

Lionel's words just pulled more fuel to the fire :lol:. One of the things Lex loves to do against his father is prove him wrong. He loves it more than winning him at a fencing match. Lionel drives Lex to achieve beyond his limits, and get what he wants. Lex will get what he wants in the end, and the distrust of Clana will help in that. Doesn't help that Lex and Lana share the same secret. It will only bring them "Closer" ;).

Never stopped them before. They don't even know their own fanbase. They emphasized this countless times on their assumptions of their own fans in their interviews. They trash talk their own fans. These aren't your normal creators. They don't care.

What I'm seeing a lot of people are for Lexana to. It's miniority view, but it is there.

Plus a show can't be run by fans wants. Then the show would be predictable and boring. Shows need to take risks to shake things up.

Of course all we can do is spec, and that's mine.

What does that mean, am I reading? Where is it written that anytime there is a dream twice about something it's a forshadowing? First off, tonight wasn't Lex's dream but Clark's delusion. Anyway, I am very well educated; forgive me if I take what you said personally, unless you explain what you mean by that question. I don't take personal digs at people here. But excuse me if that's not what you're doing.

Lionel's words are foreshadowing; I don't care what their relationship is like. Lex will turn evil and not win Lana over. She will NEVER choose Lex.

In many books about the topic. If something is referenced twice, or more in a dream or elsewhere consider it a foreshadowing. It's not about being educated, but about reading the right materials. There are books about television and films. There are plenty. Good for you I'm getting my masters as well.

First off first dream is Clark's second will be Lex's in "Lexmas" :lol:.

That's your want not the AlMiles. This is AlMiles want since S1. Funny thing about AlMiles the worst case senerio is usually what they pick.


Originally posted by cotton candy girl

A marketing tool by the WB is all. Typical WB with their taglines since S3. And to everyone this is not what they want to see way back in "Arrival". That line is about business and marketing nothing more. WB and AlMiles are not mutually exclusive.

[cotton candy girl]

THEY said everything "we've" waited to see is what S5 is about. If they didn't care.....

Also, ok, maybe you're right about reading. I don't spend time reading books about movies and televsion. I'm more interested in politics and many other subjects, but that's just me. Others may read about plot devices.

Still, I just don't ever see real Lexana happening. Sorry.

They say a lot of things that contradict themselve before since S3 as well. They really don't. They trashed nearly every fanbase on the show one way or another. They even put down their own teenage fanbase which was uncalled for.

I read many materials from comic books to non-ficition about history like the airplanes used in WW2 to fictional books. Just reading behind the scenes, and how things are constructed is one of the things I love to read about is all.

No need to say sorry :lol:. It's not me doing it. Nor do I really care about either ship lol.

You have several episodes on the topic two more episodes in the future coming before the 100th episode. At least you'll be somewhat prepared :).

[cotton candy girl]

Dream on, Summers :rolleyes: ;).

[Summers]

It's not my dream :lol:. I don't ship any ship remember. It's nothing off my back. I really don't care lol. It's AlMiles since S1, and many other Lexana shippers.

[shy175223]

i agree with Summers on the Lexana here. if Almiles WANTS Lexana to happen they will make happen. They have said so in one interview that thye were waiting for Lana to become legal so that they can persue this huh.... relationship here. Now I also read that they would take the relationship to the degree WHF that means. But I think IMO, that they mean that it won't be quite as initmate or close as Clana has been, maybe. Lana will probably stay with Lex put will stay at an arms length.

[johnny fogg]

I think it's a good idea that will be ruined by bad execution. Yeah it's good foreshadowing for Lex stealing Lois in the future, and it goes back to Lex's obsession with bruenettes(a rare example of continuity), but I'm sure the result will fizzle and I'll no longer care. The sub-plots are often the weakest pillar of this show.:mad:

Missed my point entirely. :\ :) I wasn't calling you a shipper; I was saying dream on b/c you believe it will happen.

I still don't think real Lexana is going to happen. This is Al/ Miles way of being sneaky and doing Lexana so it's not real. ;)

Because there's no way Lana could continue to stay with him with what he'll become, and she'll see it eventually, and Lex Luthor won't continue to care about others, even the sought-after Lana.



My thoughts extactly. Couldn't have posted better concerning the rise of Lexana.:rolleyes:

[Danelle]

I agree with the "Lana Lang will never love you" line. But that doesn't mean I'm in denial about Lexana happening.

I hate Lexana, more than any other ship on the show. But the buzz is Lexana is GOING to happen this season. Which is a real bummer, imo...but what are we going to do about it? And regarding the "Lana Lang will never love you" quote...I think anti-Lexana-ers are using this to base their assumptions that Lexana won't happen. I believe the line is true, Lana will never LOVE Lex, but that doesn't mean a relationship can't happen. People don't have to be in love to have a relationship. I'm afraid Lexana may happen this season, though I dread it! Only one good thing will come out of it: The end of Clana forever...FINALLY!

[No-El]

Looks like mostly everyones comments---though mixed---seem to confirm Al Gough's intent on ushering in a new era for Lex and Lana.

[Ketchup]

AS I and numerous other Clanists on these boards have stated before, the momeny Clana ends, Smallville ends. The very thought of Lexana makes me sick.

I'm just getting interested in Clark and Lana's relationship. What it was before drove me nuts. Now, they're dealing with each other on a more mature level. They're still keeping secrets, but at least they're not doing that weird dance around each other. I want to see how Lex is going to figure into these dynamics.

He's always been tinkering around in their relationship -- giving Clark advice, concert tickets, birthday presents for Lana -- to the point where I'm thinking "What's up with this?" He get's Jason fired. He MEDDLES.

Now he's going to start tinkering in a much more obvious and malicious way. I want to see what happens.

Al Gough's September 22, 2005 interview gives more light on what will happen read it word for word quote for quote:


Smallville' will focus on `Superman in training'

BY BILL RADFORD
The Gazette

The fifth season will see the rift between Clark and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) grow. Clark's off-and-on relationship with Lana, meanwhile, is back on.

But that relationship will get more complicated, as Lex tries to woo her away.

Past seasons have hinted at Lex's interest in Lana, but he hasn't acted on those impulses, partly out of respect for Clark, Gough says. "Now that his and Clark's friendship is in a downward spiral, the gloves are off a little bit."
