Lana this episode

[myankskent]

This is for all of the people I argued with after Vessel when people were complaining about Lana being selfish by kissing Lex on top of the Luthorcorp building. Well you know what, what was the first scene we saw of Lana? That's right, she was worried about the people involved in the riots and then later tried to destroy Lexod with the crystal. She also tried to get Lex to help the people out, something that many were complaining about endlessly all summer long. If anything, this episode puts Lana in a much better light, IMO. Of course, once Lex starts screwing around with her, she will probably return to her former self but I think it's interesting to note how Lana does react when she is informed about things. Zod is a great example of what Lana's character could be if the writers let her in on what's really going on.

[Closet Cloiser]

Yeah, I think this was the first episode in a while that I actually paid attention when Lana was talking :\

[lanakk1]

100% agree

[Deana]

Lana showed her game face tonight. I liked all her scenes.

[Damali]

I thought Lana was pretty tough in this episode also and she was far more concerned with fixing things, such as the riots then just hooking up with Lex.

While normally I'd agree with some of that statement, I can very much argue the point that Lana is selfish. When the riots were going on all she was concerned with was helping the people. She risked her life to try and stop Zod, she knew what she was up against, and how easily he could kill her, yet she still risked everything any way.

Lana is far from selfish.

[thehenry89]

she's also far from selfless

[MBCorp]

I actually liked Lana in this episode. Too bad they can't always write her character this way.

[Ireallylikethisshow]

I think Lana did amazingly well in this episode! she was brave, strong, and tough. I hope she stays this way. I was kinda proud... "Yay! Are little Lana's growing up..."

[EricN68]

what we need now is a juicy clark/lana scene. she needs to basically say 'sorry' because, well, she was wrong. She really questioned clark's motives at the end of season 5, and maybe understandably so, but i think an apology from her would go a long way toward mending that rift.

Anyone have a strong sense that this is Lana's year to find out clark's secret? I said it in another thread, but the way clark just unhesitatingly revealed his power with lana present (though conveniently unconscious at just the right moment) ... I think it foreshadows her getting to see clark in action.

I agree but her unselfishness always comes after she learns she is wrong thats where my problem lies ....She is ALWAYS SELFISH until she learns she is wrong.

[Coyote]

This was a very good episode for the Lana character. She stopped being a wimp and showed some balls. Kristin gave an excellent performance.

But the problem is that she won't because she doesn't know the truth about Lex and Clark. In this episode, she knew that Lex was bad and she took the proper action. Even if she goes back to her former self after this episode, I still look at Zod as an example of who Lana really is when informed about things. I finally have the proof that I need about her character and why she is so bad most of the time.

[kryptofreak662]

I used to liek lana for her home girl sensitive cheer leeder typebut i also loved when she used her super kung fu fighting styles on ppl like in the episode i'm a bit loose on the name but sum guy tried hurting her and she spun kicked him into a pitch fork or sum sharp thing on a tractor and the guy died that was the ebst thing i ever seen lana do and after that she sorta went down hill i would kinda ratehr hav jonathan rather then lana but jonathan had to die for clark to truly accept his responsibiities as super man i guess? BUt she basically kicked clark to the curb for lex who obviously cared for her but even tho he told her certain things he wasn't exactly totally honest about them either. In the end lana is stupid she can't see that lexis becoming evil as far as he's looking into aliens and stuf and turning lana evil so really the show could go on without lana she can't do anything right, she can't even sedduce a kryptonian loing enough to stabb him with a knife and now apparently she's back together with lex again and lex is still obsessed with the kryptonians becuz he was looking at the piece of the kryptonian virus sattelite controller thing so... she should not get back together with him and she should just leave the show.

[Ireallylikethisshow]

No offense- really non intended at all- but I don't like Lana killing ppl off... she never even gave them a sympathetic look.

She didn't even seem to be like "oh hey- I killed someone!" she just ran past them like she didn't do it... very deep denial I guess.

Like in the Thirst commentary, they are like "Lana Lang... cheerleader, coffee shop owner, and murder!"

which was hilarious

[LexLuv180]

Come on, all the characters are a little selfish in this show, even Clark. Her acting this episode was refreshingly well done, and her scenes with Zod were excellent.

That does sound pretty good. And I definately am one that hopes she finds out soon.

I want to hear her give the speech to lex about how maybe this last episode was a real part of him and that she just doesnt know him anymore and cant trust him. Then at least her character would continue to be written poorly.

[Tomsgurl88]

I gotta give Lana props tonight she did what she needed to do, that blade through the hand was ROUGH!! LOL maybe were seeing a turn around for Lana's character you guys!!

[AndiGirl]

I have so much respect for lana now. She has redeemed herself in my eyes. She was willing to kill lex to save everyone. And it's stupid...but the way she pulled that sword out of her hand. She is a tough cookie in my book! haha. But really, I do see her in a new light now. I despised her before.

[Tomsgurl88]

Yeah that pulling the sword out man....i dont know if i could do that!!!!

[Theshadow129x]

i seriously still hate lana more so now than ever mostly because she sat there and todl clark off in vessel when he was telling her that lex was dangerous and that he had to be killed but nooo she didnt listen then she goes back to the kent house to see if clark would help her. so pretty much she goes back to clark whenever she sees her world is falling apart around her. and you all know all she is gonna do is go back to clark when her and lex fall apart. i hate her. she needs to die the character is just written terribly

[paolinki25]

I think she was fantastic in this episode. I think that when they actually give her a purpose on an episode, she could be an interesting character to watch.

I can live with her going to Clark when she realizes that she is wrong because Clark never tells her the truth to begin with. Had Clark explained to her exactly what was going on with Lex in Vessel instead of intentionally holding back information from her, perhaps that scene between them would've gone much differently. The bottom line is that Lana found out the information for herself and then did all that she could to stop Zod.

[RamonaE]

Come on, no Lana bashing. She did good in this episode. She risked her life to stop Zod.

[smallvillecrazygurl04]

I thought Lana was great in this episode, she wasn't that whiny little girl anymore, she finally developed into a tough girl. which is the type of Lana that needed to be unleashed. The Lana & Zod/Lex scene when she was going to try and stab Zod/Lex was pure genius.

[myankskent]

The proof that shows that Lana does care about other people and that when she is given the proper information, in this case about Lexod, she takes action rather than only worrying about herself. Starting next week, Lana might start looking like a fool again because we are going to go back to her biggest two flaws as a character, the fact that she doesn't know the truth about Lex and the fact that she doesn't know the truth about Clark. Both of these things were not evident in Zod, but they will be in future episodes.

yea she risked her life for it, too bad she didnt lose it

[kismet]

but she got all bothered about chloe and clark talking about killing lex? wow i'm so confused

[Wildfire]

I havent seen the eppy yet no CW here at the dorm, so I will have to review the tape, but this gives me alot of hope. I hope this tid bit is right becasue I am so tired of the way they are writing her I am daring to hope even if it is for an eposide.

[MBCorp]

That was before she realized that Lex wasn't really Lex.

[AndiGirl]

I think one of my favorite scenes in the entire episode was Zod and Lana on the couch...and he's talking about how he under estimated earth girls, and Lana says "maybe you just under estimated me!" and tries to stab him. I Like this Lana a lot....now if she goes back to her whiny self, I don't think i will stand it

I agree. I think she was pretty good in that particular scene as well. No whiny Lana is a good, tolerable Lana. :)

[kismet]

it's amazing how her character reacts to situations when she is in the "know"

[PKII]

Lana got to use those lungs again with that painfully scream. That injury is gonna not just disappear. That would have crushed some bones in her hand she is gonna need some major surgery. Now if it's all healed next week I'm gonna start to scream like Lana. :lol:

[seraphim]

I agree also....I liked Lana in this episode but it will take more than one epi for me to see if I can tolerate her.

[wildcat]

But aren't we all to some degree? I think that's good realistic character writting, we all have moments of selfishness and selflessness.

I really liked lana in this episode as well, and as I suspected before, Kristin is soooo much better acting-wise, when she's playing more aggressive characters. Her voice was deeper, more "normal" as opposed to that breathy "little girl lost" thing and even the way she moved through out her scenes was much more natural and purposeful. I would have like to have seen this lana with clark.this

Agree the bashin a few months ago wasn't called for but now that we've seen her reaction its safe to say she isn't as bad as sum have stated.And ur right tonight was a sgin of how good she could be on the show or atleast wit lex character.But we'll see tho

[Rafael122]

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I thought they portrayed her as "superhero" like tonight. I liked what they did with her character for this episode, but let's look at the facts here:

1. She has a sword go through her hand and its stuck on the wall. Instead of selling the effects as if she were about to die, she takes the sword out as if it were nothing. Never have I seen Lana have a high tolerance for pain.

2. She comes to Clark's barn, mind you, after basically telling him last season to leave her alone, and to get out of her life, and she's like "Where's Clark?" I was like...wow....so the first sign of trouble, once again you go to the person you least like. Give me a break! I realized that Lana knew Clark knew something about the whole situation, but it just struck me as odd.

I kind of agree wit this too espcially since she says he doesn't trust her and that she doesn't kno which is the real side of him.So to come to his crib askin for him was kind of weird,so yea tptb did try to make her out to be a hero in this episode.O well its still better than whinnin lana anyday

[Rafael122]

Yeah, and I'm not a Lana basher or anything. I'm indifferent when it comes to her character, but there was just some errors in here, that could have been explained better if they had set it up last season.

Welcome to Smallville. I agree that she took an enormous amount of pain, but on this show, this type of thing happens all of the time so I take this as nothing new.

I said this on the last page, I have no problem with Lana going to Clark because Clark never told Lana the truth in Vessel. He stormed into the mansion and demanded answers while he was obviously lying about what he knew. Lana simply realized that Clark knew something that could help her so she went to him, but only after she found out the whole story, something that Clark wasn't willing to offer her.

[svsabbiesv]

i was very impressed with how they wrote lana is this epi....esp when she was looking for clark..she knows better!!!! i loved that she rather do the job herself then let martha kent do it..it was such a great job...i hope lana goes back to the caring person we once fell in love with...stop being selfish ...and maybe you won't get that knife thru ure hand again! lol

[Rafael122]

But can you blame Clark?

"Yeah, I have to kill your boyfriend to save the world." She's not going to believe that. Even if Clark told the truth, she still wouldn't believe him. It's a lose-lose situation either way.

I blame him for not leaving once he found out that Lex wasn't there at the mansion. Instead, he started grilling Lana about Lex and Clark should know by now that Lana would've wanted the truth from him, a truth that Clark was not willing to give. But, Clark could've mentioned the fact that Lex had superpowers and nearly killed Lionel by throwing him into a windshield of a car. I thought that Clark could've given away enough info to make Lana the one at fault in that scenario if she didn't want to believe him, but he didn't really say anything. He only gave away to her the fact that he was lying.

Yeah, I saw your post on DeKnight's blog. I just made a post there myself about Lana. But let's get one thing straight, I will never go to the dark side. Plus, I don't agree with you on Lana being evil.

[kismet]

i don't have the patience to scroll through SDK's blog can you guys post what you put there?

[vyperman7]

Lana was likeable in S1. She was secondary behind Clark and Lex in development and served as the love interest. It is what her character was supposed to be. But she just kept going downhill. I find it hilarious that a selling point for so many people on why Zod was a good episode, is Lana being tortured. If you go over to SDK's blog on MySpace, TWOP, etc., so many people are saying one of the reasons they loved the episode was because of what happened to Lana.

They have done such a terrible job with the character over the years that the audience actually takes pleasure in her getting tortured. That says something :D

True she's always gottin hurt thruout the series,but I can't front like I didn't enjoy seein her get stabbed.But I think that was more cause I wanted to see bad Lex(Well Zod)then hatin lana.She's a cool character when tptb actually give her a clue.

I don't think that Lana is evil. I thought you felt that she was evil but maybe that was someone else. My bad. With so few lexana fans running around these forums, you'd think that I would get all of their opinions straight.:p

Oh trust me, I loved the stabbing too. Zod shouldn't be a softy like Lex, he shouldn't have even given Lana all of that information about what he was planning to do. Zod stabbing her at least showed that he meant business.

[WangTang]

Lana is not evil, shes just ignorant to obvious events. and others times she is has really dumb things happen to her, and then theirs clark kent lieing to her.

[angelfire east]

Well Lana did redeem herself somewhat I still can't frogive nor forget her actions in Vessel, and as I said back there, even if she did tell or ask Lex to help everyone afterwards it's too late for me. And it still is kind of. Her actions int he next episodes will be the decider.

[xrayvision]

I'm waiting for some more episodes before I pass any judgement. Too early to tell now and 1 episode don't mean anything if they revert her back to the airhead they turned her into last season.

I'm hoping that this is a permanent change in the positive direction. Let's see...

[RedPhoenix23]

Here's my main post that I put in there:

Brainiac is completely dead? Huh? And the plane has already crashed? Did I miss something? It felt like I missed something...

Damn, Lana kicked ass in this ep. I always love a proactive Lana that gets involved in the story not just sit there and have bad things happen while contemplating secrets and lies. She gave Zod hell every inch of the way but was flippantly stupid with her remarks (like how Lois would have been, lol). There was nothing about the ep that made me think "victim" in regards to Lana. Yikes! Lana's hand has got to be ruined! Zod didn't just stab the pointy end in and stop, he shoved it in pretty far! Zod was all, we'll discuss this furthor when I get back and Lana was all the hell we will and rips that suckah right back out! Go Lana! Go Lana! I'm sure her hand will be miracously healed by the very next ep though. There must be something in the water in Smallville.

*fans self* Is it wrong that I thought the trick sex scene was hot? LOL. Fanfic writers get to work! Now!

[TheRealClarkKent]

I agree. To tell you the truth i've been a lana hater. But no more. I have shifted. From now on, my hate is on Jimmy Olsen. He must die.

Ack. I hated Lana in season 1. The scenes with her that are barable are the Lexana scenes. All she did was cry about her dead parents every episode but when if someone else brings up her dead parents she would get all "oh god! why do people treat me like I made of glass!" Cuz, you still cry about your dead parents everyday.... duh. :rolleyes:

I can't speak for TWOP, but SDK's blog seems like it has a couple of flat out Lana bashers, but there is a large number who actually liked the Lana bits in the episode. Praising them for making Lana brave and selfless especially since Lana acted approitatly on the information she had instead of acting inapproitaly because she's not psychic enough to know the truth. I never understood that one, lol. She should just know better damn it! Whatever. :lol:

[ginnyfan]

Never again will I question Lana's strength and courage. And she was downright sexy! :D

[paolinki25]

It's so weird to see so many people saying Lana was likable in this episode. :lol: You know, not that I don't agree. She was pretty good. :D

[j-kent]

I think this shines a new light from her...this whole experience. She even admitted it when she said to Lex that (somewhere on the lines) that these things are unrepairable. Instead of being so sassy and whatnot, she's already discovered that Clark really knows what he's doing even if he sits behind lies and such. GIVEN, that she did found out that Lex/Zod need to be killed- that is finding out the hard way....

[bad3appels]

WOOW,i haven`t see the episode yet,i will tonight but almost everybody is talking about how great lana was...i`m soo happy :lol:

She was the most surprisingly good character in this episode.

[SadaBeem]

I loved Lana in this episode. While I never actually started hating her in the first place, I was upset with her in Vessel. She just redeemed herself in my eyes.

[son2380]

Why didn't Lana uses Kryptonite on Zod, was he immune to it because of LEx

[Shadowlord367]

this could be a new lana i actually like. i still dont udnerstand how she just walked around with a hole in her hand.

There was no access to Kryptonite, or some readily available in the time between going to the kent's and make it back to the mansion.

Also this might be possible, as Lex/Zod something of a hybrid, but something tells me if kryptonite were used it would still work against Lexod.

[Pantalaimon]

She was gritty and it suited her incredibly well.

It was almost a shame she went back to her old "you weren't yourself" style at the end of the episode.

If it were up to me I'd develop her character in this direction. Make her tougher, more gritty, perhaps a little angry, and not necessarily in a 'good' (vs. evil) way. It would be nice to have some 'grey' characters in the mix, besides Lionel -- who is more ambivalent than 'grey' anyway.

[Goldenage]

Well Lana did a decent job in this episode and so I want to give props on this as I would much rather like Lana than to dislike her.

She still has a way to go though. Also I still think that people are getting this "lying" thing wrong. Clark "lying" for the most part amounts to a private person. Something that honestly isn't that odd. Still it can be annoying which is why I cut Lana slack in the early seasons.

Here is the rub though. Lana demands to know all details of peoples lives. Anything that she doesn't know about a person is seen as a direct insult which is not natural. In the Clana relationships she willing enters a relationship with someone who plays his cards close to his chest. This removes her right to complain about that.

Also, Clark has pretty much always come through for her and in almost every scenario when he gives her a warning he's right. This more than qualifies as a basis of trust.

In short I can see why Lana may not want to date Clark and actually I think that's wise. They are totally different people. I can even see how he may not be her favorite person. Where she goes wrong is that she thinks she can be in his life and then nit pick him for his natural (and known) tendancies.

Now again I don't write that to bash Lana I actually get where she's coming from I just think she should either leave Clark alone or accept him for who he is.

As for Le'Zod I totally agree that Clark could have given her more and better information. However, would she have even recieved it or let him finish? My answer is that I highly doubt it. Lana had made up her mind already and her immediate hostility pretty much shut Clark down. Now I can see why she was hostile but the point remains that she didn't want more information she was mad.

Since Lana has decided that dispite multiple rescues of herself and close friends, excellent advice and obvious concern Clark is a horrid person because he doesn't talk about what he does on the weekends. She has effectively cut herself off from being able to recieve the "truth" that she is constantly crying for.

This in my opinion is the basis of people's lack of empathy with Lana.

Again though she was fine in this episode. She and Clark have distanced themselves from each other which I think is for the best. Clark suffocated her and she demanded more than he felt comfortable giving. I don't think either are terrible people they're just not a couple.

[jimmyolsenblues]

Too much screen for lana. the show should focus on clark and if clark sees lana passing through smallville fine, but other then that. please scrap all extra plots lines involving lana on screen by herself, she has worn out her welcome.

[sari_chem]

lana was really cool in this episode. She does well when she actually knows what is going on. I really hope that in future eps, the writers will finally let Lana in on somethings. She's the only character (besides Lois) who is always kept in the dark.

[Lostfan588]

wow for like the first time ever i actually didnt find lana annoying at all last night. i agree the writing for her character seems a bit different and giving her more information on what was going on actually added alot to her character development and she stopped acting like the selfish b*()* she usually does she was willing to sacrifice for the people she loves...and shes gotten rid of that annoying childlike whining voice she always in the earlier seasons too so thats a good thing i hope they continue like this making her a more rounded character who can actually contribute something to the plot without making it the Lana Show

[lilkoolmaria]

She was cool... very strong, independent, and.... tolerable.

[ClarkSupportsOrganic]

Definitely one of the best Lana episodes ever!! She was one tough lady. I'm actually eager to watch her this season.

[gj430]

Yeah she was actually a little more likeable this episode. They redeemed her a little with me by having her admit Clark was right and try to kill Zod.

I agree on this.

Actually, with Zod's ego, he was content to tell her what she wanted to know, more so than anyone else.

Great post, goldenage.

[smallville_fetish]

I would have to agree on the person who posted that Lana gave Zod hell on the way (or everything she could've done, because if you think about it, what could she have done better? Nothing. Her character at her best, IMO) ANNNND she was quite the smart one in the beginning when Zod was explaining what he was doing.. like she caught on pretty fast ("You're talking about that planet... Krypton..." *BINGO*) She does use her brain when she's been giving facts + in danger. I like to see more of that please.

[Slytherin Princess]

i always knew Lana would show that she's more than just a pretty face. Kudos to her. `=D

what we need now is a juicy clark/lana scene. she needs to basically say 'sorry' because, well, she was wrong. She really questioned clark's motives at the end of season 5, and maybe understandably so, but i think an apology from her would go a long way toward mending that rift.

Anyone have a strong sense that this is Lana's year to find out clark's secret? I said it in another thread, but the way clark just unhesitatingly revealed his power with lana present (though conveniently unconscious at just the right moment) ... I think it foreshadows her getting to see clark in action.

I definitely agree that an apology is in order. She was just too mean to Clark. Perhaps he'll be better off if he doesn't interact with her all that much...but still, she needs to not just admit she was wrong, she should admit it to Clark.

As for her discovering the secret...I'm not so sure. I mean, with her knowing about Kal-El, Zod, and Krypton, it would seem that she might end up with the truth she so longs to find. The only problem is, if she's with Lex this season, even if she does find out Clark is Kryptonian, the "truth" about him and his motives will be distorted and manipulated by Lex. IMO

[Pantalaimon]

No, no, no. No apology. Everything shouldn't be nice and pleasent. That will bring us back to season 2-3.

Bingo. The facts that Lana knew this episode is what made her character likeable. In the past, she's known nothing. She didn't know the truth about Clark and she didn't know the truth about Lex. When she is being lied to, she acts in a selfish way because she doesn't know the big picture and is only concerned with the fact that she is the one getting hurt. When she is given facts, she takes a sword out and does everything she can to stop a superpowered force from destroying the world. She did this same thing in "Arrival" last season with the disciples. She was given information, she reacts.

I have to agree, she'll go to Clark with the intention of apologizing, but when he tells her more lies, she'll just give up on it.

Yes it was nice to see a better Lana. She redeemed herself a little, but not enough IMO.

[bad3appels]

she hasn`t cheated on anyone.
and why is she a slut?? :lol:"
think ..think before you says something :lol:

[I am the Superman]

She cheated on Clark, She told him THERE COULD NEVER BE ANYTHING BETWEEN HER AND LEX. Not to mention she broke the rule of NEVER dating your ex boyfreinds BEST FREIND.

Shes a Slut because she went against her word, and she did it with the worst person possible.

SHAZAM!

[bad3appels]

a slut is someone who sleeps with everybody and lana hasn`t
and how many times has clark going back with his words..does it also that he cheated on her?? :lol:
cheating is if you are with someone and go to sleep with someone else.
and lana started a relationship whit lex when clark broked it up with her.
if you hate her is fine with me..but be ready to back up your facts.

now that's lana to a T

[j-kent]

I hope SV can safely route the other way in the end and follow mytho. Lana should know about Clark's secret, entrust it, and become not only his first memorable love (too late to make it memorable now...that is in a good way), but a valuable ally in the future. They have to follow the lines of comic, otherwise all of our characters will see nothing but bad light and remain mere enemies to Clark.

[Fly by guy]

I think Lana showed her strengths in this episode. Going to the barn to find Clark shows that she thinks of others before herself. After the end of last season, most people would not have turned to an old boy/girl friend. I thought she would turn to Lionel for help.
This is the best Lana has looked since Splinter. She just needs the facts to make the RIGHT choices.

[Mischael12]

So i'm guessing i'm the only one who had to suppress a laugh when Zod shoved the pole thing through her hand...? Cause first it was shock to utter laughter....For a minute though I thought they were going towards the whole rape and have a child thing...but they didn't....

[I am the Superman]

I cant say on this board what I said when Zod thrust his pike into Lanas hand lol.

[maitriniazngurl]

I really liked Lana in this episode! She was extremely brave and understanding. When things got tough she rose up to the challenge by trying to stop Zod. She risked her life for the others.

She was even worried about the people in the beginning show. Like in Reckoning once she knew Clark's secret she manged to keep it even when it took her own life. She truly loves Clark but he just kept pushing her away... if he wants something then he's got to make sacracfices. Anything that's even worth something isn't just given to you... you've got to fight for it. And I don't think Clark really fought for Lana.

I'm disappointed there was not even one Clana scene. She just collapes when he comes. Then there was the whole Clois scene, I almost screamed so loud... I know it's meant to happen but just not yet. I don't want to see Clois on SV. I can see it on the Superman movies!

I really liked Lana in this episode I hope the continue writting her this way!

[Xsmallville_obsessedX]

I pretty much have liked Lana throughout the show. Well, despite when she delivered that way-below-the-belt line to Clark in Vessel (I don't know how I couldv'e ever loved you) But, I think she redeemed herself in this episode. I was fearing the writers to drive her character further into the ground as season six progressed. But, since the premiere, I think there's still hope for her....maybe:\ .

[Timester]

I hope that they stick with Lana 8.0 (or 9.0, I lost my count). But she still has do alot more to redeem on my eyes. Stompy, you were finally avenged.

I would say that's too harsh, saying she isn't too bright, she can be a rather smart and inventive girl when the occasion calls for it, it's just that she usually catches on too late! I mean by the time she gets it, the ship has left the port so to speak!

[chlarkfan333]

'Zod' is the first time I have ever liked and empathised (to a certain extent) with Lana. I am thrilled that they actually made her likeable and gave her backbone. It's not pleasant to watch a show when you cannot stomach the main character (whom you're supposed to like).

Now, having said that, what I am having trouble with is how are they going to go from Lana in Zod to her 'eventual corruption' over the next season in a way that is believable and not contrieved?

Of course, that's her stick! She used it with Jason, with Clark, even with Whitney, and she will use it with Lex! I almost feel sorry for him, she will eventually break up with him and use such a trite, uninventive reason!

[EricN68]

Here's how the next meeting between Clark and Lana might go...

C: (startled) ... Lana ...

L: Clark ... I need to apologize. I said some really harsh things last time we spoke. But as it turned out, I should have trusted you, trusted that your motives were pure. You were right. About Lex, about Zod...

C: Zod? (starts to pretend to be confused) I'm not sure I know what you're talking about ...

L: (interrupts) Clark, stop. I know you're connected to all of this. Your mother gave me an alien dagger to kill Lex with, for crying out loud!

C: (unreadable blank expression)

L: I'm not going to ask you about it. In fact ... I don't want to know. (turns away, starts to walk away) I don't want to make you tell one more lie. Whatever your secrets are ... keep them. Keep them away from me. (exits)

[thehenry89]

^ lana's way to nosy to just give up the ghost like that.

[velocity]

Lana did kick ass in Zod
I'm surprised that so many agree with that, bacause normally, everything she does is bad/selfish/whiny etc.

But i am too very certain that Lana will revert back to be clueless, probably as soon as next week.

[emsfan]

Im just surprised and happy of what lana did. She's so very strong and smart i love her for what she did. I hope it will continue in the next episode. :)

[bad3appels]

emsfan,i agree with you,i hope that we will see the real lana in the future becouse i know how strong and smart she really is :)

[cloisinmyheart]

lana was surprisingly mature and selfless.

reminded me of the lana in seasons 1-4
and im surprised that lana REALLy has feelings for lex. this whole time i just thought he was a rebound and she just wanted someone she could trust. also to make clark jealous, but i guess she really loves him (zod said so)

[Wildfire]

I jumped for joy for the moment the old Lana the one I once loved and respected was back, doing the right thing. I mean I was not yelling at the TV when she came on or wanting to out right kill her.

I was actually happy this eposide, KK as usual did a great job and I did not becasue of writing want to launch her into the PZ. So all I can say is can we keep her like this?

I think you have a good point here. It may be possible that Chloe distancing herself from Clark as we saw in Zod is a sign that she won't be as involved with helping him as she was in season 5, and they may be getting ready to put Lana in that spot. Either way, I'm pretty sure this is her year to find out. In season 1 it was Clark finding out the truth about himself (to a degree). In season 2, it was Pete and then Clark finding out the rest from Dr. Swann, in season 3 there was nobody who found out and remembered (unless you count Prof. Willowbrook since that is when he was convinced). In season 4 it was Chloe (who found out about the powers) and in season 5 it was Chloe (finding out about the alien portion). Lionel also found out between seasons 4 & 5. So Lana has to find out most likely this season. I think by the start of season 7, Lois & Jimmy (though Jimmy isn't his friend) will be the only ones who doesn't know.

I think that he will find out in season 7, then get a huge mind wipe where he will forget about knowing Clark and Lana, that way he won't know that Clark is superman. And he won't have to worry about remembering Lionel because he will be dead.

[Insight]

My prediction: Lana will either find out about Clark right before the hiatus or right after. I think that is the only way they can really move her character forward.

Yup, and this would help ratings out big time going into the second half of the year if the last episode before the hiatus was Lana finding out. However, I'm not so sure it's going to happen this soon.

[Kal-El 2005]

does she even know how to clean a wound as bad as the one her hand properly.. that could lead to some pretty nasty stuff... stupid imo that she just patched hersef up and kept on trucking

By hiatus, I'm assuming you mean winter hiatus this season. If that's it, then we both agree. That's what I've been saying since season 5. It's the best possible time to do it. That's how they did it with Chloe. Pete strangely learned in the 3rd episode, which actually worked since there were many stories during that season where his learning of the secret played a central role (like Rush, Duplicity, the kryptonite key scene Exodus, and more).

[Spirit Detective]

TPTB could do it on the 15th episode like they did Lionel in Cyborg. During season 5, The remaining episodes after Cyborg really made Lionel's character more appealing.

Hopefully, they can do the same to Lana.

[xrayvision]

Well, the 15th episode was when Lionel revealed he knew it (but only to the viewers). Later on when he told Clark, he said he knew it as soon as that stone messed him up in Commencement. Big things usually happen at episode 8 or episode 12 (we all know what happened in episode 12 last year). Insurgence was episode 12 of the 2nd season, and it had some great stuff as did Jitters (episode 8 of season 1). They both had endings where Lex wished he was a Kent family member. Episode 12 for season 1 was Leech, where Clark first lost his powers. In season 3, episode 8 was perhaps the best episode of Smallville (for me, Exile is #1 and Shattered is #2). And episode 12 of season 3 is Hereafter, where we get a shot of Superman's cape and where Jonathan has a heart attack. In season 4, Chloe found out in episode 12 (big episode; death of Alicia, Chloe finds out Clark's powers). In season 5, episode 8 was none other than the awesome finale-worthy Solitude. So I'm betting it'll happen in one of those episodes this season.

You are quite right! If they want a good looking brunette, I guess Lois would fit the bill, Chloe is just as popular as Lana, if not more, so frankly the only thing keeping Lana in Smallville is the Superman mythos! She will never find out the truth about Clark, that's for sure, and if TPTB choose so, she might even be killed of or otherwise removed from Smallville, sence they have clearly stated in the interview, that nobody besides Lex, Clark and Lois, is safe! Not a single character besides those three!

^a bit crude perhaps but well put

[azi]

I really love Lana in this episode.
Zod gives us pretty strong hints what will happen between her and Lex. They are in love now. In Lexmas Lex is the man of her life and it’s him who makes Lana happy not Clark. I know that many of you don’t believe that Lex is capable of loving someone but I strongly disagree.In Zod
”Zod: You had feelings for this human.
Lana: Yes.
Zod: His feelings for you were also strong. They left an unpleasant taste when I consumed his essence.”
I believe Lex will try to recreate Lexmas . Of curse we know that he won’t succeed but it’s going to be pretty interesting to see what draws them apart. Especially that they are perfect for each other. They both carve for love. This way Lana’s character won’t be damage or beyond repair because we will be seeing real feelings involved (we might call her naive or stupid but not horrible). It also suggest that Lana has moved on. She doesn't love Clark anymore. In Lexmas she chooses Lex over Clark.

I was just going to comment on that same pattern. Realistically there's what this season and maybe next to "wrap everything up"? I completely agree that the winter hiatus or perhaps a cliffhanger moment where we are left with "does she know?" is where they will go.

I really can't agree that Lana is in love with Lex. Having feelings and being in love are 2 very different things. Such as Clark has feelings for Chloe but was in love with Lana.

It is not realistic for Lana to be in love with Clark and 3 months later be in love with Lex. I will never buy that.

Of course is not realistic but we are in Smallville, remember?;) ;)
She was in love with Whitney, Jason, Clark . Now, it’s Lex’s turn. She will love him ( like her all ex-boyfriends) then she will realize that he is a bad guy ( like her all ex-boyfriends) and run to Clark ( as usual ) and then she will become aware that Clark is the man of her Life. Nothing will change. Hopefully he will move on.

Yes, but in Lexmas which is an alternative reality ( what would happen if Lex…) she is his wife and she is happy with him which indicates that at some point she had to leave Clark and choose Lex. She is capable of loving Lex.. It might happen.

If that is indeed the case, that's just downright pathetic and twisted. It's a pity Lana's character which showed potential in the earlier seasons has been reduced to this.

Yes, I know but Lana is moving in with Lex and they are going to take their relationship to a “higher level”(=having sex) and if she doesn't love Lex ...well...I will never understand Lana!

Where on earth did Lana get this reputation for being selfish? I've never viewed her in this light? Are people actually blaming her for the Clark/Lana breakup?

Apparently, she does. At least she won't have to put up with Clark.

This would bring us to a season 3 debate, but "Vessel" did showed a very selfish Lana, the world falling apart around her and she only thinking about expressing her love to Lex...

Lana never stated she was in love with Whitney or Jason. TPTB have used great care to have Lana say she loved Clark and never said love about anyone else.

By the reaction she had in Scare, it seemed otherwise. They went back and retconned it in Mortal. Clark obviously loved Alicia too. I don't buy those bogus lines.

It happens all the time in TV shows, unfortunately. Off the top my head, Charmed comes to mind. Phoebe and Cole were supposed to have this major love (tragic as well) and at the end of the series they pretty much retcon it in favour of Cupid.

I really can't agree that Lana is in love with Lex. Having feelings and being in love are 2 very different things. Such as Clark has feelings for Chloe but was in love with Lana.

It is not realistic for Lana to be in love with Clark and 3 months later be in love with Lex. I will never buy that.

haaaa,somebody can read my mind:cool:

And sometimes you love someone but you are not in love with them, that's how I took Clark's statement.

Just like Lana has feelings for both Jason and Lex doesn't mean she is in love with them like she was with Clark.

WORD :)

Yeah, Lana isnt in love with lex. She likes the idea of lex because she thinks hes trustworthy and more compassionate but she isnt in love with him. I think she still isnt over clark and is torn in her emotions, trying to find ways to deal with the pain. basically shes confused.

I am certain some part of lana is using lex to hurt clark.

i believe soo too.

lana was awesome, i couldn't watch the screen when her hand got stabbed. it was disgusting.
Jimmy olsen is so annoying you could tell clark wanted chloe, and you could see that jimmy didnt want clark anywhere near her.
but anyway the barn scene with lana, martha and lionel, and the fact that the 1st thing she said was 'where is clark' doesnt mean she always comes running back to him. it could simply mean that she notices him missing and shes generally worried for his safety.

i really dont think that she hates him or even dislikes him, shes just finding it hard to communicate with him after everything they have been through. can clark just tell lana already? it will simplify things a million times over and personally i believe he owes it to her. he crapped her about to much.

the lexana thing is pathetic
