View Full Version : My Problem With This Episode

I am probably one of the few clana fans still out there right now, and on behalf of myself and all of them, let me just say...I hate lexana. It’s been obvious in certain episodes from past seasons (one especially being Onyx) that Lex is attracted to Lana and would consider dating her. But why all of sudden is he choosing to express those feelings for her when he knows perfectly well that she’s involved with Clark? And, possibly a better question, why is Lana allowing it to happen? I realize the way Clark has been acting with her has been totally inappropriate and insensitive; there are points in their conversations where he doesn’t even try to show Lana that he loves her because he’s so preoccupied with the fact that she might find out the truth, and if I were Lana, I too would get angry. But even so, that’s no reason to allow another man to flirt with you when you’re still involved with someone else. I thought the entire scene in the safe room was just as inappropriate as the way Clark’s treating Lana right now, and even though Lex just wanted his feelings to be known and recognized, he was wrong to do it because Lana is still with Clark, even if they’re fighting. And I expected more from Lana too. Again, I know Clark is treated her badly, but still...she shouldn’t be getting the slightest attraction or infatuation the minute something goes wrong with her and Clark. I just couldn’t believe the way both of them were acting in that entire scene, Lex basically telling Lana he has feelings for her, and Lana sitting there and taking it even though she’s in a relationship with Clark. It’s just all seemed so idiotic to me.

And I think I disliked the hospital scene between them even more. The whole friends thing is fine, but I still would rather have heard her say “I don’t want to do this with you anymore...I should be doing it with Clark” or “I love Clark, and I don’t want to keep this from him anymore.” I guess what I’m saying is, it just would’ve nice to hear Lana saw something, anything, about Clark and how she loves him, even if their going through troubled waters at the moment. We had Clark saying that he loved Lana several times throughout the episode, and it would’ve been nice to hear Lana say something of that manner to Lex. And then the whole hug thing...the writers certainly left that in limbo, didn’t they? It was hard to tell if Clark was jealous, and it was even more difficult to tell if Lana enjoyed the hug (if you know what I mean) or even felt bad for having Clark see them hugging (assuming she did in fact see him).

Another thing that bothered me: this whole discussion about Lex risking his life for Lana. First of all, how long did take him to decide to walk out of the safe room? Too long in my opinion. If it was Clark, and even if he didn’t have his powers, he would’ve walked out of that room the minute he saw Lana. And I can’t believe Lana didn’t even take that into account. Second of all, if you wan to get technical, Lex didn’t take a bullet for Lana. Lana was already in the room, and Lex was shot as he was heading in there. Plus, I got a little frustrated with the whole idea of the fact that Clark saving Lana didn’t mean anything to her. But that wasn’t her fault; it was Clark’s. She would’ve known he had saved her if he was honest about who he was. Still...him and Lana both should be blamed for everything that's going wrong with their relationship. Everything they did and all of the decisions they made in this episode when it came to each other were pretty stupid and ridiculous (except for the whole Clark saving Lana thing of course).

Well, I think that’s enough ranting for me and enough ranting for one episode. To end this little complaint, let me just say that I can’t wait until next week when Clark tells Lana his secret. Then everything will finally be ok in my eyes...as long as she doesn’t die... : )

I'm Clana-neutral myself, but IMO, neither character was served well by the script this week. And I just flat out think the Lexana is a bad idea unless they want to play it as Lex using Lana to get to Clark.

I did think it very odd that Lana didn't seem to acknowledge, AT ALL, that Clark obviously carried her out of a building before it exploded. I understand that she felt grateful to Lex, but her response to Clark running to her rescue, Again, was just completely odd. You'd think she'd be grateful to both of them. She may not have known precisely what Clark did, but there he was, she's waking up in his arms, and his clothes are smouldering. What did she think happened?

Er...did you watch the end of Lexmas when Lex had the big epiphany and decided to get his happily ever after, no matter what? The episode where Lex decided to join the dark side of the force? The Lex Luthor that we are seeing now isn't the same Lex Luthor who in past seasons tried to set Clark up with Lana because he wanted to be a good friend. The Lex Luthor that we are seeing now is alot more ruthless than that Lex Luthor and he really doesn't care about Clark anymore (and honestly, I can't blame him). Let us not forget Lex's dark side and that he is on his way to true villainy. He's not going to stay away from Lana just because she's with Clark.

As for Lana's actions in this episode, eh, who can say what goes on in her mind. I'm just glad they had Lexana since I like it alot better than the Clana (just my personal preference there).

Lana's been doing that since day one.
she's been in two long term relationships on the show outside clark.

She's with whitney, the second things get rough flirts with clark.
She's with jason, the second things go badly, she's back to clark again
Now she's with clark, things are starting to get tough, so she's lining up Lex.

So it's not really come out of the blue she's always done it.

To be honest i don't think they know how to write clana without it being angsty, because when they were happy they had like 1 episode then lana disapeared and was in like 1 scene per episode for a few weeks.

My response to aim26

1. In the circumstance that he thinks he's close to dying, I think Lex is justified in revealing his truest feelings to Lana. Whether or not she is with someone does not matter. It didn't stop Clark from showing his jealousy when she was with Jason.

2. Of course Clark is jealous. It also doesn't matter whether or not Lana "enjoyed" the hug. the hug was an offer of friendship.

3. In addition to the whole Lex and Lana thing, I think Lana would be justified if her feelings begin to change about Lex. Clark's been a jerk and I believe Lex is sincere about being honest. The writer's intentionally did not have Lana say she loved him... and I think that's the right choice.

4. Let's not forget that when Clark lost his powers, he took a bullet for Lana.

Well to be fair, Whitney was a complete 1-dimensional BORE.. ;) As for Jason, he was MUCH more likable than football jock #1 but Clark and Lana already had a bit of history so it's no unexpected that she'd still turn to him given that there were some unresolved issues between them.

I'm not a Clana fan but I just wish the writers showed more consistency with the characters. They'd twist anything in order to give Lana something to do on the show. And I wouldn't mind it that much if, by doing so, they were not damaging the Clark character so much.

Writers, PTB, stop hurting Clark! stop messing with his character to justify whatever you want to do with the others, Lexana included.

To alm26, I agree with you on so many levels. I hate seeing Lexana. There's nothing romantic about it. They have absolutely nothing in common. The main thing I don't understand was in Splinter, which was no more than like 3 weeks ago in Smallville time, Lana tells Clark that there could never be any chance that she loves Lex. Now TPTB are pushing it down our throats that there can be.
I just don't understand how Lana can trust Lex after all the lies and manipulations that she's seen him do. Just because he showed her a spaceship, doesn't mean he's honest, it just means he wants to get in her pants. I thought Lana would have seen that by now. I'm a huge Lana fan, but the way she's acting, I almost wish she'd die, but for the fact that it would cripple Clark emotionally and that's not cool

It's the lousy way Lana is written. She's a plot device most times not a consistant character. She is the worse written female character on Smallville. If TPTB need her to love Lex to hurt Clark she will, if they need her to kiss General Sam Lane she will, to heck with continuity. :lol:

alm26 - u're definitely not the only clana fan left. I'm in that boat too.

I too had a lot of frustration with this episode. Mostly of Clark's whining. when he was telling his mom how lana has been lying to him for weeks, i was thinking...hypocrite. how many times has he lied to her and expect her to just forgive him? when he kept on complaining to chloe how lana is pulling away and this and that. all that was going thru my mind was that he brought it on himself. i'm certainly not a lexana fan, but the way they got clark acting lately....its no surprise they're bringing out the lexana (:gag:). Clark could have told her SOOOOO many times, but no, instead he lies to her. and then feels jealous that lana appreciated lex saving her life (which i don't believe that he intentionally took that bullet, cuz yeah...she dove into the room already. wasn't like he covered her body or something and took the hit.) and that he didn't get any acknowledgement for saving her from the bomb. its like HELLO?!?!?! are u really that dense??

i really didn't like how they wrote the characters this episode. lana who usually is all up on the situation should really be after clark saves her...is all like "what? i woke up and the building is on fire and clark is holding. he has ashes on his face and his jacket is full of burned holes....but he said that he just found me on the ground. so that's what happened. no questions asked." i mean, come on!

i only believe they have lexana there is becuz A) lex wants to use lana to get to clark or B) he wants what he can't have. lana is with clark, and he obviously has known bout clark's love for her is neverending and her's for him...so he noes that he can't have her. but that just drives him more to wanting to have her. u always want what u don't have...and lex always has to have everything.

I personally think its more the latter.

this episode frustrated me extremely...u can ask my friend lol. i hated that line when clark goes "i love her so much. i can't imagine loving anyone else" (something along those lines) and then lois comes rolling up...and i was just like "GAHHHH!!! GRR!!!!" i have nothing against erica durance...i just don't like lois lol.

but i did have to yell out in joy when lana shoved clark's crap back in his face again. the whole changing subjects about the spaceship and the not dwelling on it crap. i was just like HAH! u tell him lana!

i hate the fact clark always says that he loves lana and that he doesn't want to lose her and yet...if he does love her that much, i would think he owes it to her to tell her. he has enough evidence that ppl around him has accepted who he really was. its clear that lana has some of the pieces already in place....i think she just needs him to put in that last piece of the puzzle so she can confirm what she has been thinking all this time.

but yeah...that was my 2 cents....upsetting episode this was!! (wow i sound like yoda lol)

01-20-2006, 08:04 AM
My opinion exactly!!!! It pisses me off that Clark i going to reveal his secret to Lana "the woman he claims to love and wants to spend the rest of his life with" because he thinks he is loosing her. wtf? Thats not Superman, and hes upset because she risked her life for Lex, and he didn't get credit for saving her from the bomb, i say again wtf???????

I realize that he is not Superman yet and he is only learning to become Superman, but he is acting like a selfish 5 year old, Superman isn't an ass as a teenager and then noble as Superman. This episode really ticked me off and now ruined the big reveal and marrage proposal as there is no sentiment behind it, Clark just wants to keep his obsession.

Also im pissed at how Clark constantly uses everyone around him, especially Chloe, he knows she loves or at least likes him and yet he constantly goes to her and talks about how much he loves Lana and wants to spend the rest of his life with her, basically all he does is wine about Lana which hurts Chloe.

Hell he even uses Lex, for doctors, connections, parties, money, cars, ext.... What an ass.

A few things i noticed, i find it funny that Smallville is the only Superman show where almost every episode someone dies, whether it is a FOTW or the Sheriff it doesn't seem like a big deal. Clark doesn't kill them on purpose i know, but they still die.

Also when Lana comes out of the Panic Room, where it was supposed to be 130 degrees the first thing she does is put on her jacket, ewwww.:lol:

(1) Lana (Dingbat) Lang

(2) Clana

(3) Moopy Clark

I liked the lexana.

I can totally understand Lana turning to Lex...I mean she can only take Clark lying to her for so long.

BadToad
01-20-2006, 08:26 AM
So, Lana turns to another man that she KNOWS lies to her as well? How does that make sense? I don't have a problem with Lana being angry and frustrated with Clark. I do have a problem with her needing to turn to any other man in response to it. How about standing on her own 2 feet? How about ending one relationship before she drifts into another? I hate the way they've written Clark in the last 2 eps, but I don't think the writing for Lana has done her any favors either.

Why does Lana have to turn to anybody? Why does it seem impossible for her to let go of a disfunctional relationship unless she already has another possible (probably disfunctional) relationship lined up?

True indeed, how about having Lana show some loyalty to Clark? Whenever AG talks about "playing the Lana, Lex, Clark" triangle she's more of a throw pillow between the two. Her character development in and of itself is never mentioned....this is telling...therefore, it's hard to track where her feelings are...her dialogue in the hospital scene was bizarre, at moments. This is either going to be fixed next episode (i.e. she clarifies her feelings and sees Lex for who he really is) or it's going to get worse in terms of her increasing sympathy towards Lex and I will wish that it's she who dies...

well, apparently Lana and Lex kiss next episode. It's not much, but her putting herself in that position is just making it more and more easier for me to see her go.

unPTC
01-20-2006, 09:53 AM
We don't yet know why she puts herself in that position...he may have begged her to come see him after he lost the election and she does probably have some gratitudeand sympathy for him...we'll see where it leads. I agree, if they writers don't have her smarten up about Lex (especially if she survives the episode and should be supporitng a grieving Clark) it will be just more crappy writing...mine as well bring on the General Lane make out scene as so cleverly suggested by FOTW!

Thanks for the thread, as it's good to see I'm not alone in how the writers have messed with two of their lead characters.

You have Chlark as a whining, moma's boy, who thinks his relationship with Lana should be platonic, where she stops thinking, and simply let's herself be rescued by Chlark. That's beyond weird and getting into the creepy realm.

And so what if he rescued Lana. There was no probability of harming himself nor was it going beyond his "normal" abilities. There was nothing "heroic" about it.

I can see Lana realizing that her relationship with Chlark is not going to work, but Lex? While he does show some interest in Lana's life, by now everyone has to know that Lex is a pathological, egotistical liar. It makes no sense. The use of a "love "interest" as done SV is becoming a discredit to woman. There's got to be a better way to do it.

I had a hard time wathcing this EP. Many more like Lockdown and I'm done.

lex is better as a lone man!!
the fact that he couldn't keep a woman for too long finds it hard to be loved because of honesty trust his hidden sides etc-etc should of been helping his demise and continued to send him spiralling down to darkness
but no instead we get lexana!!!
whatever next:rolleyes: :( :mad:

The BEST Characters are written as multi-dimensional, not one-dimensional.

In order to show the darker side of Lex, and make it believable, you need the occasional contrast of a softer side.

As his character progresses, you see this softer side less and less, thus giving us something to compare it to.

Only then will we see how truly evil he has become. ;)

Actaully, I wondered about that to.......but your post just answered that for me. Lex weighs his options....he thinks (unlike the idiot that is Clark.....who leaps over tall buildings before he looks).......Lex had a plan for taking out that antenna thing......Lex also told Lana that he couldn't tell them about the ship because they would just kill them both. As such, Lex had to come out with something up his sleeve......or they both die.

And Lex did take a bullet for Lana.......simply by coming out and putting himself at risk......especially with what he knew he was about to do. I love to hate Lex as the villain.......but you know.........after seeing the Kryptonian Moron in action during this episode........maybe Sageth should be the hero of the story.

I am now bowing down to this posting and repeating the following phrase: "I am not worthy....I am not worthy.....etc."

Brilliant way to look at it!

I also think that what makes Lex so dangerous is his charm. We all know the nasty things he does, but we're all ready to forget about those things when he gives us a charming moment. I think this contrast will always be a part of Lex's character. It's what makes him so interesting and makes his evil side that much more powerful.

So it's not really come out of the blue she's always done it.

To be honest i don't think they know how to write clana without it being angsty, because when they were happy they had like 1 episode then lana disapeared and was in like 1 scene per episode for a few weeks.

More honest words were never spoken. And hey Jason Bourne, I like the name....you know....I've been thinking that it would be cool if they brought Bruce Wayne into Smallville under a "Bourne Indentity" type of storyline.....Smallville's little Blonde reporter being the one to help him find out who he is.....and who he is running from.....(such as Az Raz Goul and the League of Shadows....I think that's how you spell it.....you know....from Batman Begins). It's a storyline idea that I had.....you're name just reminded me of it.

Sadly, There's a lot of truth in what you say. Even more dishearting is that the writers & TPTB are as deaf as Lionel Luthor is evil.

My only problem with the episode is that the music sucked, if I can recall any music that is..... and the ending wasn't crackin' for me either, maybe because it's been cliche too many times with the Chloe telling Clark he shoud be honest with Lana, etc.

As for the characters, hey it's just one episode. I hated Clark in this episode but loved Lex. All the other episodes, vary but characters' personal will always remain though I see where you're going with the character default. TPTB are obviously neglecting something, especially when it comes to Clark or the Clana relationship and either way I feel cheated. But anyways, we'll just have to wait and see in the following episode. The anticipated 100th is just around the corner.

Two excellent observations. As the deputy stated to Lex in Lockdown. "You'll make an excellent politician as you believe your own lies"

When Lex looks at Lana at the hospital and says no more lies, you actually believe it. It's not till later that you go, Hey, no way will Lex stay honest with anyone. He's a pathological, egotistical liar. But he is sweet and believable when he wants to be. Just like his father.

Again, good observations.

Clark and Lana were writen horribly for this episode...I mean, come on....it was just really horrible, especially Clark, because I think Lana needs someone to feel stable and if she doesn't have a guy in her life than who is that someone?? She has Chloe, and that is pretty much the extent of what we see that she has to lean on, so Clark lying to her, and everything must be hard, and so when lex offers what she thinks is the truth, and all that (even though we know that he is lying and will be evil, even if he starts out with good intentions) she goes for it, unfortunately TPTB really messed up Clark's character...he almost seems like red-k clark!!! I am sure that Lana could be stable on her own...I just don't think she knows it because like lex, she's had so many people walk away from her, and hurt her, and die on her...so yeah, but I have to say that I did like the lexana.

I think the TPTB sacrificed this episode, for the sake of Episode 100. Thats the only way I can explain whi Clark is still a whinny punk and Lana is still Clueless. Why lex was made a saint.

It sort of pissed me off too that Lana dismissed Clarks rescue for Lex's mess up. Keep in mind if it wasn't for Lex's lies the incident wouldn't have happened. We all know that the only reason why Lex wanted the ship and any of the Kryptonian technology is because he wants to create new weapons to sale to the governemnt and other countries. The whole deadly virus thing that he let out of his plant that nearly killed everyone in smalleville.

Plus the numerous times Clark has saved lana without taking credit for it and allowing others to take credit for it. Also the many time Clark saved Lana and she new about it. Sure Clark saved her onces again and he didn't take credit for it or tell her his secret, thats because of the 100 episode thing.

I still can't believe Lana believed that whole if we tell them they will kills us crap. that was so lame, Im only trying to protect you. He was only trying to prevent the military from taking the ship away from him.


Pardon my language I would like to quote some words that my brother says when he watches Smalleville. "There all a bunch of jackasses" "The only one thats not a jackass is Johnathan Kent"


to tell the truth if I was Clark I would use my abilities to get both Lana and Chloe and then Pull Lois. Clark is suppose to be from a superior race and he can't get 3 women at one time, Clark is a jackass. LOL just kidding

I agree!

MR's Lex Luthor showed more depth and three dimensionality than TW's Clark, even in Clark's Splinter Episode, mind you!

My problem with this episode was the way they made Lana seem really selfish ( in my perspective) and she's wasn't supposed to be like that. I understand that she was mad because Clark is a BDA who is afraid to show his emotions. But at least he has an excuse, since he doesn't want to hurt her. A real friend would be like, "hey let's talk about whats going on with you".

To alm26, I agree with you on so many levels. I hate seeing Lexana. There's nothing romantic about it. They have absolutely nothing in common. The main thing I don't understand was in Splinter, which was no more than like 3 weeks ago in Smallville time, Lana tells Clark that there could never be any chance that she loves Lex. Now TPTB are pushing it down our throats that there can be.
I just don't understand how Lana can trust Lex after all the lies and manipulations that she's seen him do. Just because he showed her a spaceship, doesn't mean he's honest, it just means he wants to get in her pants. I thought Lana would have seen that by now. I'm a huge Lana fan, but the way she's acting, I almost wish she'd die, but for the fact that it would cripple Clark emotionally and that's not cool
If Lana wants to work with Lex it should be finding the two Kryptonians that left his mansion. They both saw them but are interested in the ship. Lana, who tried to kill you?
