Lana and Lex isn't working!!

[Polomontana]

This is the worst turn in Smallville. They have no chemistry at all. Martha and Lionel have more chemistry. Clark and Chloe have great chemistry and the producers know it. They thought Lois and Clark had chemistry but they were wrong. I stiil say that they shouldn't have killed Jonathan until the series finale. Now Smallville has no direction.

See, if Lois,Chloe or Lana should have died, they could concentrate on story, instead of these silly side episodes. I liked Tomb, but the Lex and Lana thing is silly.

[BoSoxJim]

Blasphemer! You can't kill the future wife of Superman! That would form a tear in the space time contin-u-um (what's wrong with that word????) and end all life as we know it. :p

i'm actually warming up to Lex and Lana as the Pinky and the Brain relationship should be amusing.

[Shiver]

Lexana can work. They just need to put the nail in the Clana coffin instead of constantly resetting all the relationships. I think the writers should also make a choice: is Lana a naive twit (boring!), or an ambitious girl who's playing both men to her own ends? I'd prefer the latter - it gives her character something to do.

[amberdawn]

I agree with you shiver.

[F-Stop Blues]

Im praying for Lexana to start. I want them to get together hardcore. Im sick of all this with Clark and Lana. Have her get with LEx so Clark can finally see that she's not who he's supposed to be with, Please!

You must be watching a different show than me. Lois and Clark have great chemistry together. Their relationship is very different than the other relationships on Smallville and that's good. Who wants a Clana rehash?

Chemistry is really a point of view though, some may think L&C have chemistry when others don't. Al Gough and Miles Millar seemed to think they had awesome chemistry though and I think they were right. I'm glad their relationship is different than Clark's others. I would be really boring to have a repeat of Clana or Chlark.

As far as the Lexana goes, it hasn't really started yet. They haven't even started "dating" yet. Give it a couple episodes to warm up. If it's still crap, then you can blame it partly on the lack of development in the Lana character. Her character has been stagnant since the pilot episode aired.

Lana has two modes of expession: happy and whining. Hopefully the greatness that is Michael Rosenbaum can help resuscitate here dead character. Then again Michael is only an actor. . .

. . . he's not a miracle worker.:lol:

But why does there have to be Lexana in order for Clana to end?

Really, it is possible for pretty girls to live their lives without boyfriends. Chloe does it. Lois does it. But it's like Lana can't leave one relationship unless she has another one lined up.

Also, I was ready to wait and see with Lexana. But the way they are writing both characters in order to bring Lexana together just isn't working for me.

I think I'm watching this show when the subject of Lana and Lex come up...

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
One is a genius
The other's insane.
They're laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain.

Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world.

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign
Is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth

They'll overthrow the Earth
They're dinky
They're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Narf!

You see... I'd hate for Lana and Clark to hook up because that's Clarks woman!!!

But it would make a great story. It's just hard for me to picture. With all the crap that has gone on with Lana and Lex. That's also a good reason for it to happen.

That Lionel and Martha outta be good. LIONEL WINS AGAIN!!

WORD. I was open and supportive of the pairing after Lockdown, but I really don't like the way that they're writing both characters when they interact recently. It isn't a very effective storyline and any chemistry that MR and KK showed during Lexmas and Lockdown seems to have completely vanished. I really wish that they'd just drop this Lexana business, it just isn't working out and it's really hurting both characters.

[Lana_Lang #1]

Lana "What are we going to do tonight Lex?"

Lex "The same thing we do every night Lana, help me try to take over the world AND find out how Clark gets his teeth so white."

[DARKRAGE]

I personally do not think that Lex fancies Lana, I think he sees his mother, remember him and his brunette fetish.

[Nightvision]

I hope that the writers are just simply taking their time with the Lex/Lana relationship. And I thought they were going to take things further with Clark's and Lois relationship?

As for the Tomb episode. Well, I do think that Lana is showing a bit more of an evil side to herself. Maybe it's rubbing off of Lex and onto her. I did like however how he said "Lana thinks so" as if he was rubbing it in Clark's face. But yeah, there wasn't much chemistry between them like there was in Lexmas and Lockdown.

[superman_115]

I agree fully with the poster.

I hate seeing Lex and Lana together in any type of scene. It makes me want to hurl sometimes because the writer's have really make Lana look pitiful.

Every scene involves her running to Lex like a lost puppy and the direction of the scenes seem out of control.

I know some of you want this, but honestly, I hope they realize this isn't the good step for Smallville and back away from it.

In my honest opinion, It should have been Lana instead of Johnathan that died.

[ProudPenny]

Erm, Lex's mother was a redhead, wasn't she?


They have no chemistry at all.I have to totally disagree. Lex is the only person Lana has ever had any actual sexual/ romantic chemistry with, including Clark and Jason. I also personally don't think Lex is into Lana - I think he's going to use her against Clark, like the dumb pawn that she is. I think this is a HUGE, HUGE bait and switch. And when that follows through to its inevitable conclusion? That tharrr will be some darn good teeveee.

[Shiver]

superman 115: I agree re: Lana not coming across well. But that has less to do with Lexana than it does with the writers making Lana look pitiful in almost every episode since season 1.

One of the reasons I support Lexana is that usually, when Lex is around, Lana gets to be a stronger, more independent character (running a business, learning kick-boxing, saving Lex's life, etc.)

I think Lex sometimes makes Lana seem stronger. But Lana tends to make Lex look weaker. And it's not really a fair trade because, while she might seem a little stronger around Lex, that still doesn't make Lana an interesting character. And, in the meantime, I'm kinda losing interest in Lex.

I also agree that Lana does have more chemistry with Lex than with Clark, and most of the other characters. But Lex has good chemistry with just about everyone, and he has more chemistry with other characters than with Lana. (In my opinion, of course.) So, again, is it a fair trade? Yeah, Lana's in interacting with a character she has more chemistry with. Still doesn't make her more interesting to me. And, in the meantime, we aren't getting to see Lex interact with characters he has more chemistry with. (Clark, Lionel, Chloe, even Martha when they've been allowed onscreen together.)

I agree but for some reason Lana needs to be with someone. So if she gets with Lex which it looks like she will then how could she and Clark ever be together again?

I just don't get Lana period.
I mean at the end of season 4 she is smart enough not to trust Lex, but now they are the best of friends, someone she can turn to etc. (I just don't get it :confused: )

Your confusions is caused by the same thing as mine, poor writing. How they can have Lexana after the first half of the season is beyond my wildest ,drunkest, stupidest imagination. Everyone has their opinion but the ratings drop each week may determine the evolution of Clana and Lexana.

[puddinpiester]

I don't enjoy the Lana/Lex relationship and I do not find it believable or entertaining. I find that for me when I'm watching Lana?lex, my only interest is waiting to see if something interesting is gonna happen. I enoy the comercials more than the two of them.

make that enjoy the comercials

[Aloof]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have faith in Lex and Lana. I also agree with what Penny, it's sad, but it may also be true about the whole manipulation gig.

No chemistry? Are you serious? Both MR and KK support Lex/Lana as stated in their interviews that were given not too long ago. MR supports Lexana more than KK does, but still, they both support it. Even the actors have chemistry, and that counts too.

The actors supporting a pairing doesn't translate into chemistry. If that's how it worked, everyone would have chemistry just by willing it to be so.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "the actors have chemistry". If you think characters have good chemistry, the fact that a lot of that comes from the actors is a given. So, I don't quite get your meaning.

As for Lexana, I happen to think Lana has more chemistry with Lex than with Clark, for example. But not enough to blow me away. In fact, Lex has as much, if not more, chemistry with just about every character he comes in contact with. The fact that he has chemistry with Lana too doesn't automatically mean, "So they should build a whole romance out of it." If that were the case, Lex should have had a romance with every character on the show.

[MBCorp]

I think some people just like Lexana because they see it as the end of Clana.:p

And pretty blue water bottles too! The man is sex on a stick! He even has chemistry with inanimate objects!

MR brings out the best in KK IMO. She just comes to life around him. And this is coming from the ultimate Lana disliker(I'd say hater, but that seems a bit harsh)! If Lex can make me like Lana for even a second, that is huge! I loved Lexmas and Lockdown, the two episodes I was dreading the most.

I too believe that Lex is using Lana to get back at Clark. I think he's shown a mild attraction for her over the years, but nothing like what has developed since he and Clark have been on the outs. I say bring it on and make it hurt baby!


Can you say ratings down the toilet? I firmly believe that no Clana= no ratings.

You seriously believe Smallville is a success because of Clana and Clana alone? Season four was crap writing wise, that's why the ratings dropped off. Season five has been written beautifully, including the Clana(for the most part). That's why ratings are up. There are many many factors that go into making SV a hit.

[myankskent]

Well I know people who watch the show who say that they will stop watching if there is Lexana. Let's put it this way, the story of superman is too good to have silly garbage like this. This is something that they should've had earlier in the series. Now, it's crunch time and I don't want to see meaningless relationship garbage with Lex and Lana and Clark and Lana. Establish the relationships and move on to more interesting stuff like Zod and Brainiac. That stuff along with JorEl and Clark should take center stage as far as I'm concerned.

I've noticed through the years how you can see the casts acting rubbing off on one another. This is apparent especially with KK, who I don't feel was nearly a good actress (saying a lot) when the series started. Now I've noticed her line delivery, little head motions and such seem to follow Rosenbaums a bit. She also seemed to take a few mannerisms from Jensen last year as well.

More on topic, there was an interview with Welling were he hinted the writers thought fans wanted the show to be "darker", and this angle would certainly cover that. The problem is that I don't think that's what us fans want at all, SV writers. We just want a show less steeped in angsty relationships and substance geared toward Clark becoming Superman.

Since the show has focused almost exhaustively on the minutia of these relationships, I feel that teaming Lex/Lana too close romantically can have dire consequence by alienating patient viewers who want nothing more than for Clark to act more super and relationship/subplots to take a major back burner.

[Lana_Lang #1]

I think Lexana and Lex going after Lana is uber creepy!

Quoted for truth.

Lex isn't much fun to watch when he's around Lana. I like seeing Lex manipulating people, engaging in a verbal sparring match with Lionel (or possibly Braniac), or threatening someone. Having him try to be a good guy to win over Lana doesn't really work for me. They've already used this storyline with Helen Bryce in season 2, so there's no need to revisit it with Lana.

Good words man, and I agree with them 100%. As a huge Lex fan I have absolutely no interest in seeing his romantic involvement with Ms. Lang. I want to instead see his development into the supervillain we all know and love and I want to see his growing enmity with Clark, and I don't want Lana to be in the middle of it all. We don't even see any interaction between Clark and Lex anymore, instead Lana seems to be the only thing connecting them. And ever since Lex has been interacting with Lana they've been writing him in a very weak way and he's starting to bore me. I also want to see Clark develop into Superman and more mythology stuff on the show, and less Clexana angst and turmoil. I just don't see the need of all of this relationship angst when there are so many other interesting things they could be doing.


Yeah, what's the deal with all the stupid ships anyway? I think the show is on its last leg, and I think it's Al/Miles who killed it.

Hee, we agree on something again, cotton candy girl.

If they use Lana to show how Lex is turning darker, I'm okay with that. I'm hoping they have better sense than to do angst with Lex. Lexanangst = :mad:

I will be really interested in seeing how that all plays out.
I know some believe that Lex really cares for Lana, but I think he is just using her like he does everyone else. I also think that it's his little way of "sticking it to the man" :) I sometimes wonder if that isn't part of why Clark is disappointed that Lana keeps running to him.

[kkjdt]

I just can't buy this Lana Lex thing....... I don't understand why they are having her hook up with him.... I thought Lana was with Pete in the comics ... not the eveil Lex.... too out of character...

I don't like it because it's not true to the superman mythology. It's Smallville's version of getting a soap opera type of storyline into the show when they don't need it. Instead of writing this garbage with Lex and Lana they could be focusing on Clark's development which we barely get these days. The premier gave me high hopes but since then Clark has reverted back to the way he always was.

WORD. They need to be developing the Superman aspect of the show more, not getting it bogged down into tiresome teen soap opera romances and love triangles.

[Slytherin Princess]

i can see all this soap-opera crap is really getting to you guys (and me as well). too bad because there doesn't have to be a love triangle, if only clark and lana detaches themselves from each other. just move on. clark to lois and lana to lex. and i know a lot of you hate the idea of lex and lana being together. so please don't give me a lecture why you find this relationship "revolting" or how much it makes you "want to throw up". i've heard enough already. so please let me enjoy this coupling while it lasts. :)

If Lexana fans and any others are so ready to see them together then why wasn't Lexmas a ratings blaster. They do have chemistry. I can feel the heave and gag reflect already.

Im rooting for Lexana. It has to be more entertaining than Clana.

[All about Clark]

The problem is that Lex and Lana wouldn't have any screen time if they're not together causing Clark problems.

One thing for sure, Clark won't want Lana back, and no one has to worry about Lois being a second choice.

I guess Lana has to learn the hard way that Lex is evil, because she doesn't see it like everyone else.

[JorEl23]

I think she sees it as clearly as EVERYONE else that knows Lex, it's just that she is VERY vulnerable right now and Lana has always been the good hearted sort ( much like Clark except Lex has used up all his chances with CK and now he's DONE giving any more ). She's always preferred to find the best in people ( see: Jason, Adam, various FOTWs...) and Lex has suceeded in manipulating her in this fragile state to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, that doesn't change either of their CHARACTERS! Therefore, he may get close but she'll never lose sight of her values and morals and thus NEVER be with Lex!! That is what is so retarted about all this Lexana garbage. Clana haters and the like carry on as if they are some warped Romeo and Juliet. NOT.
