I think Lana doing for Clark what she did for Whitney...staying with him due to the loss of the father. But, rest assured, TPTB will eventually continue the spiral downward of Clana just like they did to Whitney and Lana. Only thing is...I'm a Clana fan so even though I fear the worst, I'll still hope Clana lasts until the end of the series...

I just wish some line like "Well you dumped me" or a kiss would be included to let me know what was going on either way! It's just like what happened after "Blank" last season!

I just think they're friends. She did break up with him last week. But I think people are expecting Clark's feelings to be gone all of a sudden. That's not how it is when you love someone.

It's hard to tell what they are right now, because they both still love each other. Lana said she needed a break, which doesn't mean broken up, but doesn't mean together. Just let's say, even by clana standards it just got more complicated.

Agree, I think she was just showing comfort to Clark, nothing more.

She said she needed a break, right? "A break from us" i think were her exact words. And if anyone has watched Friends, we all know how those breaks work out :p

Except the fact remains, that both of them still love each other. WHich is an important fact. Usually, when you have a "break" that isn't the case.

Lana is still there for Clark, but as a friend.

I am glad that they didn't get into Clark and Lana's realitonship. They didn't need to address whether or not they were broken up. It wasn't the time or place for it.

Agree. Lana's there because Clark lost his dad. Lana was ready to break-up with Whitney because she realized she had feelings for Clark when he was talking to her about asking Chloe out. She was going to break up with Clark and start acting interested in Clark if Whitney's dad didn't die.

Now, she's just with Clark because she thinks that's the right thing to do but she's getting more and more interested in Lex - and believe me I'm no Lexana fan. I think Lana likes the fact that he'll always be there for her. Afterall, Clark's always off saving the day. When Clark asked Lana why she was with Whitney, she said its because he's always there when I need him. Clark wasn't always there when Lana needed him only when she needed saving.

If she is with him just to comfort him then I truely do dispise her. All she will do is end u toying with Clark's feeling and that aint going to help him through his pain.

I say this becuase I had a boyfriend who does like Lana does. We broke up 2 weeks before my dad died and then *bam* he was there for me and in the end him being there for me was a lot worse for me than if he had just stayed away.

I guess it could end up differently but I cant see how in the long run this is going to be good for either one of them.

Friend or not, the point is that they love each other. I needed that Clana stare. I think we will get them until the series finale.

I totally agree.. They might not be a couple come series or season end but I think those somewhat ackward stares, the temporarily lost train of thought, those mushy little feelings and the bits of tension they bring about will always be there. They were there at the beginning of the series and I think they'll be there till the very end of the show..

Doesn't matter. Just like Lana's previous 'hook-ups', Lexana will just be another victim that falls before the farm boy charm ;)

I think that's always been the most tortorous thing about them, those two want to be together SO much, but there's always something that gets in the way, or in this case, a tall handsome farm boy from another planet who keeps creating these rifts.

It looks like "FRIENDS" , Rachel said to Ross "I need a break" and they finally end up together in season 10 finale.

Well, LEXANA is just a part of CLANA consequences just like Adam and Jason were.

As for the break. That depends on the couple really. I have known many couple who have gone on breaks which basically mean getting some space but, still attached. I myself have ha breaks and I knew I was not with the person but, I still should remain loyal because it wasn't completely over.

Okay folks. They are broken up and I think they'll stay broken up. Clark learned something important in Reckoning. He learned that if he and Lana are really together it will be too dangerous for both of them. That is because Lex will know that Clark has revealed his secret to Lana because that is the only way she will truly be with him. Clark can not risk this because Lex will use that knowledge to his advantage. He realizes that Lex can not be trusted with that knowledge and that he might go so far as to use Lana to get Clarks secret. He has to let Lana go even if he still loves her.

The one and only time I went on “a break” with a girl was almost four years ago. She lives in a different time zone now and has two kids. We’re still friends and I still love her very much, but the point is that it’s the only “break” I ever went on with someone I loved, and it obviously didn’t pan out how one might have wished.

This is, of course, my round about way of saying I think it is dead and done when concerning Lana and Clark.

My real problem with Clark and Lana (I refuse to use terms such as “Clana”) is that we know their relationship doesn’t work out. They’ve been trying for almost five years to hook up, and for a while it worked out.

I think it’s time to throw in the towel and let them both move on. Unfortunately, I think the producers are going to continue to beat the dead horse until the series finally ends, which is a shame. By that point, I don’t see how they could even remain friends, never mind the idea of being a couple.

These two seem to be the classic star crossed lovers. They do both want to be together so badly, but bad is all they get when they are together.

I disagree with those who say an ex can't help you after a death. I had one former girlfriend who I dare say went over and above the call of duty after my grandfather who I was very close to died. She was there just like Lana seems to be. Not forcing her way in, but making it obvious that she is available when the right time comes.

I hope they remain friends. It is possible in real life and it should be possible in Smallville.

However I think Clark feels that he loves her too much to risk loosing her. Kind of a sickening paradox to have to realize that the best thing for the person you love is for you to walk away. Unfortunately been there and done that one too!

I think they are just friends. In real life this would take more time. Too much hurt and anger. But this is Smallville time. I am glad that TPTB are not giving us that crappy angst.

Uh...yeah, Lana was all pissy and dumped him because she was ranting on about secrets again. Unless you missed Reckoning, that was pretty clear. To show her acting all concerned now after she even left him at the graveyard, not even bothering to stay through that makes this looking all over Metropolis for that watch ridiculous. Totally not how she acted last week.

How was she suppose to act? And everyone left Clark at the graveyard too, wasn't just Lana. Chloe left too and that's his best friend. Secondly, Lana has always had a right to be upset about the secrets and she didn't rant either. I know what ranting is and that wasn't it.

This scenario of Lex moving in on Lana reminds me of how Clark moved in on Lana when Whitney's lost his dad...
I think with the fact that it's been up and down between Lana & Clark, Lex may be able to swoop in and start the Lana/Lex relationship.... And the other idea too, is Clark knowing that Lex and Lana are getting a lil extra friendly, makes him mad/jealous to a point where he may not really want to talk to her.. Only to push her towards Lex even more.

Yes, but (counterpoint): I had the opposite experience when my father died (unexpectedly)... I had a girl pursuing me (feelings weren't mutual in our case) who, as she was a friend of one of my cousins, "inserted herself" into his funeral which I didn't appreciate (the gesture may have come from a good place, but it was a poor decision IMO). It was the 'catalyst' for me... I broke it off immediately afterward. If you make a statement such as "we need a break" - follow through! I'm sure Clark could've forgiven her (he always seems to). I can't even blame the character (although I'd like to)... it just looks like TPTB doing anything to keep the Lana torch burning at ANY AND ALL COSTS. She 'wants' a break from Clark? Some of us 'want' a break from her. At least for a while. :mad:

smallville_fetish

02-03-2006, 03:23 PM

They've broken up but because they remain friends, obviously there will still be tension there, 5 years of that tension doesn't get blown away that easily. Clark has never gotten over Lana that quickly and Lana has never 'given up' on Clark that easily either.

As long as theres still the slightest chemistry and tension between them lingering, there will always be the endless possibililties on what TPTB might pull next, but one thing is for sure, Clana isn't over.

I agree with this from Clark's side. Clark can only love her from a distance, like he did Season 3.

But Lana is different, she loves him, is frustrated with him, will even date Lex, but will never be over it.

And by dating Lex, Clark will be able to get over it.

You can really love someone and know in your heart that it will never work out. And, sometimes when you truly love someone the best thing you can do is let them go. For all you Clana fans that want to hold onto the idea that they still both love each other, try and think of it in these terms. But, they're done. It's over. You've had your 5 seasons; that's more than Clois or Chlark will get on SV.

Except in this case, when Lana goes running to the airport to stop Clark from leaving, she'll find him with Lois and he'll say "Lana, hun, you dated my mortal enemy, its over. I'm moving on with Lois and we're both moving to Metropolis to work at the Daily Planet. I think maybe you should go back to the Talon. I hear they're looking for a new muffin peddler."

I agree. In Vengeance Lana went beyond what many people would have done so soon after a breakup. Give her the Ex-Girlfriend of the Week Award. If things are bad between Clark and Lana, it is his fault and he knows it.

Lana said she wanted a break from THEM, not a break from CLARK.

She was just fed up with all the lying... doesn't mean she doesn't love him any less likewise with Clark with Lana.

It's better for them to be on a break then for them to start hating each other for their issues... will at least Clark's issues.

02-05-2006, 12:15 PM

Well after the 100th ep, it'll really test how strong this Clana relatinship is, which is any relationship they have, as a couple or friends. They're broken up right now, but some spark or caring for one another is still there, however you interpret it, it's a healthy connection since they are still talking to one another, so this isn't an end yet for Clana, not a real one anyway.

I agree.... it's just rough patch...or at least I hope. Both of them care too much about eachother to just be completely over like that. Obviously, after the death of his father, Lana and Clark aren't going to just start making out all over the place, but Lana is going to be 'there for him' just like she said. So, if you think about it, they aren't broken up, but they aren't having a complete realtionship at the moment.

smallvilleobsessor17

02-06-2006, 03:11 PM

No, but I'm sure as soon as Clark recovers from the shock of losing his father, he'll realize how much Lana was there for him and know that she is the one for him!

Fly by guy

02-06-2006, 03:12 PM

I think TPTB are trying to keep Clana as friends so they can interact. If she turns to Lex it would keep her out of much of the storyline. From the message boards I've read, I think there are many Clana fans who will be deeply mad as the Lexana continues. I hope when Brainiac returns, it will give Lana ANOTHER reason not to trust Lex. But I'm afraid the writers won't be able to work that out. If Clana is unpopular why has SV lasted so long since it has been an A and B plotline since season 1? Also, if people want to see alot of Lex then why has so many Lex driven episodes in the past 4.5 years not done that well? I loved many of them but that is not why I watch.
