Get over Lana you BDA!

[Spirit Detective]

A disappointment about this episode was that Clark still mooped about Lana when she's been a complete b**ch to him. She has moved on with Lex! Get over it! Blame yourself for not telling the truth when you had the chance.

I can't postulate as to why Clark should have saved Lana and lex in the warehouse. Seriously, the world have been a better place.

[clanaalltheway]

yay i complitly agree with u ( i liike clana NOT LANA)

[Krypton935]

I agree completely! Let them burn !!!

[RedKalEL]

i don't think he really moped about lana in this one

[Lightning Flash]

Yeah, he wasn't really moping... he was just upset that they've parted their ways, and they don't know each other now. He was prob also offended by the way Lana was treating him.

[emsfan]

IM not so happy with those scene. It really frustrating!

[Laguine]

I don't really like Lana but please, if someone around me were acting like Clark, I would be the first always requesting answers. Everybody would do that trust me!

[xrayvision]

And she would have gotten those answers had she not sneaked around his back with Lex and investigated the ship and sneaked again the night Jonathan won the election. If you read Autumn's thread in the Speculation forum about Lexana not being a lightswitch, she gives plenty of examples of how Lex was baiting her in and training her for years (since season 1). She seemed to have broken away in Mortal, but after Clark was brought back from the dead, it was right back to Lex.

[BadToad]

I don't think he moped over Lana at all. Of course he's going to have some reaction to her. What else would one expect? But he really didn't let her hissy whining effect him much. He kept his focus. His remarks to Chloe were very short, and very apt, and showed remorse and regret, but not moping or longing. I was more then pleased at how he reacted to Lana here, and I hope it keeps up. And if she keeps being such an unpleasant cow every time he sees her, I really do hope he just tells her to zip it and "Enough!" She doesn't have to like him, but he also doesn't have to take her crap everytime they run into each other.

Lana was being a b*tch to Clark, because she accurately guessed the reason why he was looking for Lex? Huh? The guy outright refused to help Lex. Why? Because he was jealous and was no longer friends with Lex. Frankly, Clark acted like a complete a**hole in that episode and Lana was right to call him out on his BS.

I agree. Clark was just reflecting on how far apart he and Lana have grown since the breakup. Clark found out what he needed to know to help Lex and he saved the day. AGAIN. At the end of he episode he got rid of the storm clouds so he and his best friend Chloe would have nothing but sunshine for their day at the Crater Lake. No mention of Lana to ruin the mood.

I have to agree with this. Clark is not helping his case any when it comes to Lana. If anything, he is making her more suspicious of him even after he broke up with her. Once again Clark strolls into the mansion and has a conversation with Lana, where she is wondering how Clark even knew what was going to happen to Lex in Vessel. Then Clark asked if she told Lex about it and she said "not yet". Clark isn't exactly denying the fact that he is holding some pretty important stuff back from her. How about making up a story or something rather than standing there and looking like a lying fool?

[Balauru]

He didn't mop about her this time

And yes lana is a totally *****...she will never be again the girls she was in the first season!

[DDR Paladin356]

Its funny, last night I was talking to a friend who has no knowledge of Smallville, and she said "I remember watching it one time, and I thought that the dark haired girl was a big brat."

It was pretty priceless. But, yeah, Lana has totally changed from season to season, and I dont really like her at all now.

What difference why he's looking for Lex? The fact of the matter is that Lana knows full well that Clark much more often then not comes through and saves people, to include her and Lex. She doesn't know his motives? Fine, she can just deal with that, can't she? But is she concerned with Lex being found? Hey, I thought so...but maybe I'm mistaken? And if she is, then she should just shove a sock in it and be civil. I'm not asking her to be anything more then civil. And honestly, I find it comical to accuse Clark of being an a**hole when, once again, Lana and her newest great love are alive because of the fact that he came through for her. She may not know it, but we the audience do know it.

Lana is just fed up with Clark. At the end of that scene, Lana basically told Clark to do whatever he had to do, but to me, the real issue is that Clark continues to throw himself into a hole with her. She now is suspicious of how he knew what was going to happen to Lex in Vessel and from Clark's standpoint, that's a very dangerous thing. And now Clark is all worried about Lana telling Lex about their conversation in Vessel. Clark not making up stories to tell Lana is going to become a huge problem and Clark will have only himself to blame.

[Dor el]

I don't think he really moped. She will always be a concern to him as he truly want's what is best for her and Clark really believes Lex will cause her harm. Concern? Yes. Interest? Yes? Moping? I didn't get that impression. How can he not have some sort of emotional reaction considering their damaged relationship and considering how Lana treats him. I get bothered when I think someone is treating me inappropriately. Especiall, if I am truly trying to help them. Clark is able to feel all the range of human emotions that humans do. Sometimes it is difficult to not notice one's emotions. Often, a person can't help but feel and react to that feeling if only on a subconscious level. Clark is not a robot.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

...I think he was just feeling awkward around her ('...like we didn't even know each other').

Probably no moping.

[chlarkfan333]

I would have been surprised if Clark hadn't talked to someone about his interaction with Lana. I also didn't read much moping into his statements. It seemed like he was just sad at the way things had fallen out between them after all they had meant to each other, which seems like a reasonable reaction to me.

I didn't care much for the way Lana demands to know the truth from Clark each time. It has always bugged me, even when they were together. I'm not saying that she shouldn't take issue with him keeping secrets from her while dating, but it's not her call to make. If it bothered her so much she should have broken it off a long time ago and kept it that way OR accepted that in time he would tell her.

Let's face it, with a secret like that you only tell your girlfriend if you are certain (as one can be at any given time) that she's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. That's exactly what happened in Reckoning.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

I am wondering at what point has Clarks secrets put anyone in danger ?
Directly that is, the fact that he keeps things to himself that anyone of us would do the same, not the fact he is an alien.

[sari_chem]

Clark was definitely shocked to see Lana at the mansion, but I don't think he moped.

And as for the way Lana was treating Clark, I was actually cheering her on. Clark barges in, as usual. He wants Lana to tell him what she knows, but he won't tell her what he knows. And he told her a bold faced lie. He said that he didn't want anything bad to happen to Lex, and that's why he was looking for him. But during Clark's conversation with Lionel, he didn't want to save Lex.

Lionel: You have to find him Clark

Clark: Why. Lex and I don't have anything to do with eachother anymore.

Nice, Clark. He went to save Lex to save his secret. That's why I was glad when Lana told him not to pretend that he cares about Lex.

I don't blame Lana at all for having negative feelings about Clark. They should really stay away from eachother for a while.

[Cat_Atak]

Either way Lana is going to feel like a total Douchebag when she does find out the truth about Clark. I do understand what Clark looks like from her point of view but you can't blame him for lying to her. She's with the bad guy now. She is not trustworthy and she probably should have never known if it is so easy for her to be with someone like Lex. Major character flaw if you ask me. Lana just seems like two different people now. Vintage Lana and Lana 2.0 or whatever.

[Piiike]

Lana is being a b#tch now and I dont hope it's clark that puts her in her place, I hope it's CHLOE, then she can mop and feel guilty how she treated Clark.

I think the best way to bring overwhelming guilt to Lana is if Chloe or Clark or something explains to her how Clark lost his father to save her life in reckoning.

She will feel like uber crap! I really really hope something like that happens.

EXACTLY. Why would anyone question the motives of, or hinder a person trying to save their partner? As Clark left Lana, I couldn't believe that Lana actually cared about Lex. Especially when she ends up putting herself in danger in a half-a$$ed effort in saving Lex ("oh, the dangerous kidnappers are in this adandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere. I'll just drive up in my car and assume I can just collect Lex and leave"). If I had my way, this is how the warehouse scene would've gone:

Lex: "What is she doing here?"
Kidnapper: "Let's just say she's here to spend some quality time with you."
Lex: "What are you doing here? I thought Clark would've shown up like always"
Lana: "Clark offered to help, but I didn't trust him."
Lex: "Why not?"
Lana: "Because I didn't know his motives."
Lex: "He was offering to save me."
Lana: "Yeah."
Lex: "And despite his perfect track record in rescuing us both, you refused him."
Lana: "Yeah."
Lex: "Kidnapper, stick both those needles in her."

LMAO. I like this, I like this a lot. This episode is a classic example of how ultimately Lana thinks only about what she wants. In this case she wanted to bite Clarks head off and refuse to cooperate cuz she's mad at him instead of doing whatever she could to save Lex. She's such a small person. A bigger person would have put all that b/s aside for the moment

[Spirit Detective]

I want to Clark to get over Lana period. No more moping and stand up to her obsessions of "Secret and Lies". Clark should tell Lana that she has no right to question his motives when they're not a couple anymore.

if lex wouldn't have been shot and wasn't losin blood maybe he would have thought to ask that :lol: :rotfl: :rotfl: .But once again lex gets shot and clark saves them both wit lana lookin at lex like a hero smh

[xrayvision]

I like your idea Last Man of Krypton.

What Clark has to do if he ever even bothers with her again is say something like "I don't wanna hear anything from your mouth other than the information I need to save xyz...no questions, no comments, nothing...otherwise lots of luck to you".

Clark should say something along the lines of "Look! Do you want my help or not?" everytime Lana throws a drama queen tantrum.

[Ares]

Yeah - IT was stupid hes still sad about her. Come on let it go..

[xrayvision]

I don't think he was sad. I think he was disgusted to see her living with Lex. And also disgusted with how she was treating him.

Man. Too bad Clark wasn't the way he was back in Dichotic. The Clark of season 2 would have given Lana a major tongue lashing.

I agree, Clark in Dichotic was way more assertive to Lana.

Thank you so much! This is one of the funnier things I've read recently. I really like the way you think.

I don't think he was sad. Shocked and surprised. You betcha. If Clark was totally indifferent to Lana, posters would have eaten him alive saying how could he be so cold and aloof? I'd've like to have seen him stand up to her as well. Woosing around Lana makes him look, well, woosy, to me and I don't like a woosy Clark/Superman. Also, talking about a past relationship in fairly benign casual terms doesn't mean he's moping. I think that acknowledging her is more normal than never mentioning her again. He may yet have mopy moments (most of us grieve for things we've lost periodically), but I don't think that is so unusual considering what they've been through together. He seems to me like he has accepted that he and Lana will never be together. That realization may not let him be happy about it just yet, but he seems to know that he and Lana will never be. That doesn't mean he should never ever think of her again and it doesn't mean that he shouldn't care about her well being and happiness. He should.
