poor baby...

[Tia]

oh! good catch, but i don't think they did that on purpose

[MidgardDragon]

We don't really have any indication one way or the other on that one. For all we know it might have been punch in a wine glass.

[BigJoe]

good point

[Effect]

Actually I think I've read that a little very early on isn't that much of a problem. It's large amounts over a long period of time that causes the problems.

[Skywalker]

She didnt drink it. That was kinda the point....

[Damali]

She lifted the glass and toasted with Lex. He drank from his wine glass, but Lana didn't, she put hers back down.

[Effect]

ah, missed that.

Good catch.

[Aloof]

I don't THINK Lana drank the wine.

[D.M.A.]

yea she didn't sip hers,jus toasted wit lex

[AstroCowboy]

right, she NEVER drank it!!!

[k18]

Her not drinking it was the point. She had the glass but didn't drink it.

[Anjow1060]

yeah way to pay atttention. She definatly toasted and placed the glass 1/2 way down the table as to show that she wants to keep the kid.

[bad3appels]

does lex know?? that she is pregnant??

[*#~ ClAnAfAn99210~#*]

she didnt drink any of it she just held it up to toast to lex!

That was going to be my point. Or cranberry juice. Or non-alcoholic wine or sparkling water. There's any number of beverages that from the limited time we were able to see it could have looked like wine...

[MidgardDragon]

Ah indeed. Good catch on her not drinking it guys. That was one of those little bits that sometimes people miss but are so cool once you do realize they're there.

[paolinki25]

I guess it's The Luthors way of living.

[Fly by guy]

My first thought when I saw the thread was, Of Course she's drinking. She's at the mansion with Lex and "all" his friends on Thanksgiving. Even dad didn't come. The poor girl needs to drop the wine and move to the vodka.

[SmallvilleMan]

Another thread started by the same person to try and bash Lana?:rolleyes: Come on, leave her be....

[spideyfan]

She toasted but didnt drink ...I watched that scene closely

[superhippie2000]

lana + lex = britany spears + K-Fed or should i say Fed-Ex lol

just lana and lex are rich white trash lol. baby booze.

[krypton_gurl85]

she didnt drink the wine, she sat it back down.

[jimmyolsenblues]

she did put the glass down.

[KryptoKnight]

Well, it was red wine and if she drinks one glass on special occasions, red wine might actually be good for her.

Yeah, that's exactly what happens. They panned the shot back to show both of them (on each end of the table) and Lex takes a sip, but Lana doesn't.

It was interesting, actually, because is shows the distance (emotionally and literally) between the two, since Lex doesn't even notice.

[Ares]

Yeah she didnt drink the wine.. As u see in the ending lex takes a sip she puts it in front of her.

[cmm]

Never mind the wine, look at the size of the table i mean geesh could there be anymore space between them?

[TalkinMac]

I thought this very thought but two things.
1. Lana doesn't want Lex to know.
2. She shouldn't be drinking wine in the first place as she is underage...

[nss17]

I definetly think that even though Lana is upset about being pregnant...she wouldn't want to hurt her baby. Even though it's half Lex!! Good catch on the whole not drinking wine..I wondered how many people noticed that..cause ol Lex didn't pay any attention to that!

[Charissa70]

She didn't drink the wine, but what I find sad, was all these years of Lana wanting to be connected and going on and on about losing her parents and there she is on Thanksgiving-being served dinner in this big, cold room with just Lex and she could not hit him with a ten foot pole. Really romantic. 'Happy Thanksgiving Lana', 'Oh, Lex, are we even dining together? Were are the 20 other people that can fit at this table between us? Do I have body odor ?

[Dark Knight23]

Lana never drank the wine. If you look at the glass her glass was full while Lex's was pretty empty. When Lex gave the toast Lex drank while Lana put the cup back down. Lana never drank the wine.

[Laguine]

She didn't drink it and drink a glass of wine during pregnenty doesn't cause fetal alcohol syndrom. You can drink a glass of wine per day without having any problem with your baby.

And well... some people are really into too much the show. And I said «SHOW», (KK is not pregnant for real)

I know that's what I said.

[98chase]

Yeah, her not drinking was the point. Not only did she set her drink down, but she put it down far away from her. Her arm was fully extended, in an uncomfortable position....she tried to get it as far away from her as possible.

Right. I think the intention of the scene was to show the emotional distance between them, contrasted with the Kent dinner where everyone is happy and close. That distance includes the fact that Lana has not told Lex that she is pregnant; otherwise Lex would not be giving her wine.

I am sure someone else has already said this, but I am too lazy to read the whole thread, lol. Lana doesn't drink the wine, she puts it back down while Lex drinks his. That was the point, lol. To show that she can't drink hers.

What amazes me, is that Lex never bothered to notice she didn't drink after his toast. They truely are in their own worlds, aren't they?

I think the whole point is to show that LEX IS AN IDIOT!!!! I mean if I toasted with the only person in a room and that person doesn't drink I think I will notice and ask about it...I would had take one of the waitress to notice it...Lex pay atention to your woman!!!!

Meh, they had a fight earlier, so Lex could be taking it as a sign that she doesn't want to toast with him but doesn't want to be beeatchy and fight either. So he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. :lol: Lex does ask her if she is alright though. So it's not like he's completely ignoring the signs.

[Spirit Detective]

Bad Lana :rotfl:

[smallvillerocks45]

I swear that was the saddest scene I've seen on Smallville in a long time. Lana is there looking so obviously unhappy, and Lex is just sitting art the other end of the table eating his turkey. I get it, it's impolite to talk with your mouth full, but really...where's the love?

-oh, and I noticed that she didn't drink the wine, too. :D

[xrayvision]

As soon as they showed the wine I focused on whether or not she would drink it, but she didn't. I don't think it would have done any damage, but it's best not to take chances. I really do wonder if it will end up like the Kent baby in Exodus or if it will die after it's born. I wouldn't be surprised if Lex & his obsessions are the reasons the baby dies.

[maryjanewatson]

I noticed that she didn't drink it, and thats what made me realize her problem. I missed the part of the episode where she tells chloe because i had to go eat dinner, but i came back down just in time to see her not drink the wine. all that time i had been wishing she had a brain tumor.

[Titan27]

She NEVER drank the wine. She put her glass back down after the toast while Lex drank his. That's what made the scene have alot of tension. And I am probably one of the few who thought of this. And take note: I am a 19 year old male college student so take a guess as to what my view and opinion is of this. Isn't Lana still under the age of 21?? I know it's wine and everything but I still think it is funny? And I realize that KK is over 21 years old!!

Oh please. The legal age to drink is very much an arbitrary threshold set by the government. Many people drink while 'underage' anyway...

[maryjanewatson]

especially in lex's house. he wouldn't care if she drank, especially when she spent time in paris, he just expects it i guess. He even gave her a bottle of wine in "spell" when she was in highschool, so her drinking alcohol underage is, i'm sure' the least of Lex's worries.

As someone from Canada where the legal age is 18, I concur. Throughout our history we have consumed alcohol and there were times, especially in the Middle Ages, where drinking alcohol was safer than the local water supply. The idea of a legal drinking age grew out of the Temperance Movement and the attempts to prohibit alcohol. We all know how well that went.

[RedPhoenix23]

Plus what's a little wine on a special occasion like Thanksgiving? Especially since Lana is damn near 21 anyways and it's not like she's downing all Lex's fancy scotch, it was a simple glass to go with the meal. At the end of the day, Lex seemingly didn't know that she was pregnant and Lana didn't drink it anyways, so who cares? :lol: This thread is moot.

In my country, we're allowed to drink alcohol many years BEFORE we're allowed to drive a car...

Yes, red wine lowers your HDL (high density lipoproteins).

shirkie She's not drinking wine - they took pains to point it out to us. The wine is in front of her, but they have her water glass being filled up. Then, when Lex toasts, she picks up her wine glass and then puts it back down without taking a sip. It's just showing us that she is pregnant, and Lex doesn't know.


What amazes me, is that Lex never bothered to notice she didn't drink after his toast. They truely are in their own worlds, aren't they?I would have thought Lex would notice, but they gave us no indication that he did. Despite that, I think he might have noticed, and might even suspect the truth (people always jump to the "pregnant" conclusion when someone doesn't drink on tv), but we won't find out until next week or even the week after that.

[chloefan5]

she didn't drink THAT wine... but he probably downed the entire bottle that night while watching Ugly Betty

ugh, he= she

And besides lana would never like a show in wich an ugly girl succes in life and love because of her hearth and talent...that is Sci-fi for her :p

[paolinki25]

She didn't drink it, which to me symbolizes her acceptance to the pregnancy. I don't know. This episode was filled with anvils and symbolism. lol

[CristinaSupes79]

She lifted it up and then put it back down on the table. It was actually a pretty big thing cuz they zoomed back so you could see that Lex drank his and she put hers down.

[1.21 gigawatts]

When Lex raised the toast, I felt that Lana was going to pick up the glass of water and toast, but when she picked up the wine glass, I was thinking, "You'd better not drink that. Not only are you under age, but you're pregnant." When she put it down, I sighed in relief.

Hey. I was patient. I waited my turn. I got drunk for the very first time a week after I turned 21. Why did I wait a week? Well, I had a sinus infection on my birthday and then Hurricane Ivan shut down all electricity in my town, so I had to wait for the liquor store to get electricity. :lol:

When I turned 18 and went to the bars here for the first time it was sort of a let down. Not one of the bouncers asked for ID either. I was disappointed.:( I can't imagine waiting until 21.

Anyway, save your nerves. Don't watch the OC or Grey's Anatomy. Mostly Grey's Anatomy as I absolutely hate that Asian chick.

Back to the subject at hand. My mother drank the occasional glass of wine while she was pregnant with me. What is the threshold before FAS occurs? She never got flat out drunk and I am fine, although it might explain my gun collection.

I heard wine in small doses is actually good for the baby. Getting flat out drunk every night of course will screw it up, so don't do it! I don't think that's the American Medical Society opinion though and since Lana is an American, she's not gonna risk it. Nor would I really... I'm American and have been programmed that's it's wrong, wrong, wrong! Doesn't America have the highest mortality rate of newborns, though? Maybe there is something to this wine thing....

Lana Didn't actualy drink the wine she toasted with Lex then set it back down while he drank it

Yep, a glass of wine a day (and no more) WITH a meal until the second trimester is usually ok for normal pregancies (assuming the mother is not taking any sort of medication that will counteract with the wine). Definitely no hard liquor though.

Although it seems to be more of a European thing, from what I observe among my friends.

Sorry, you are wrong there! Whether the pregnancy is normal or not, drinking alchohol is a big NO-NO! It's simply to great a risk to take, and I mean between risking your child's life and having a glass of wine, well I mean should there even be any doubt? No, if one can't give up drinking for a year or so (breastfeeding months counted in), than one should perhaps reconsider their priorities!

[Chihiro]

PEACE

I understand where you're coming from. I should've made it clear that from what some pregnant friends told me (about what their OB-GYN told them) and stuff that I read, such as:

1. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recently conducted a large study including 400,000 American women, all of whom had consumed alcohol during pregnancy. Not a single case of fetal alcohol syndrome occurred and no adverse effects on children were found when consumption was under 8.5 drinks per week.

2. A recent review of research studies found that fetal alcohol syndrome only occurs among alcoholics. The evidence is clear that there is no apparent risk to a child when the pregnant woman consumes no more than one drink per day.

3. A study of moderate drinking during pregnancy found no negative effects. The researchers suggested that one drink per day provides a significant margin of safety, although they did not encourage drinking during pregnancy.

4. A study of pregnancies in eight European countries found that consuming no more than one drink per day did not appear to have any effect on fetal growth. A follow-up of children at 18 months of age found that those from women who drank during pregnancy, even two drinks per day, scored higher in several areas of development.

5. The guidelines of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommend that "women should be careful about alcohol consumption in pregnancy and limit this to no more than one standard drink per day." These conclusions appear consistent with the research findings of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, a major science body in the U.S.

I'm not sure how hard liquor figures though, since it contains a much higher proof.

While this is does not mean that I SUPPORT drinking wine while pregant, I was just pointing out that there are doctors and studies that say otherwise (that it's ok). I myself do not drink, not even beer, even though I'm not pregnant. I just never liked the taste.

That said, it didn't look like Lana actually took a sip of the wine. It may provide Lex with a clue as to what's behind Lana's strange behavior lately. Certainly, the sudden avoidance of alcohol indicating pregnancy has been used as a plot device often enough in movies and books.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound too harsh! I certainly do accept the fact that there are valid studies foo both and against drinking alcohol during pregnancy, but personally, when that time comes for me, I am going to opt for not drinking during those nine months and the following breastfeeding months as well! And that's all one can say really! It all depends on personal preferances!
As for Lana, you are right, we don't actually know what was in the glass, I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt and presume that she wouldn't drink alcohol while pregnant, unless she didn't know she is pregnant when she consumed alcohol.

Interestingly enough, even though my mom did have the occasional, and I stress occasional, glass of wine with dinner and such she said that sometime around the third month she lost the taste for it.

It's funny how we are so careful about things that our ancestors didn't give two hoots about. Safety labels, lawsuits, transfat, etc. They'd laugh at us, but our life expectancy is about two to three times as long, so the last laugh is ours.

[KLGChaos]

I'm actually surprised at how many people are freaking out over her drinking wine. I don't condone drinking a lot while pregnant or underage drinking, especially as someone who drinks maybe once or twice a year.

However, I really don't see how a glass of wine every now and then would hurt someone. It's not like she's going out and binge drinking or downing a 6 pack a day. A little bit of alcohol in moderation won't hurt the baby at all, and considering most countries allow people to drink wine when they're teenagers, I've never really seen a problem with a glass once in a blue moon.

And to top it off: LANA DIDN'T DRINK THE WINE. Not even a sip. ;)

Towards Lana in general that seems to be true. Poor girl can't seem to win. One week it's Lana is too strong! Next week she's too weak. Then how could she let get him away with that? Next week its, good god, why is she talking back to Lex? She just can't win. :(

But in this specific case. It was a simple misunderstanding. No harm, no foul. Everyone seems to be in agreement now that Lana didn't drink the wine. :)

[Welling_is_pretty]

Yeah as I watched the table scene and saw Lex's glass of wine I wondered if Lana would have one too. Then when Lex asked for the toast and I saw her pick it up I was all "You better not be drinkin' that Missy!" and wondered if she would just to keep Lex from knowing. But she put it back down without taking a sip (something you think Lex would have noticed and/or commented on) and i was all "good girl."

In small amounts yes. 1 glass a day is said to be good for pregnant women. Im only going by what I was told. Cause during my sisters pregnancy, she had her babyshower thrown at my mothers house and wine was served. I ofcourse asked " isn't this bad for the baby" but I was told that her doctor said its alright for her to have "a" glass of wine.

[maitriniazngurl]

A glass of wine doesn't hurt... but she didn't drink it. She toasted and sadly puts it down. I was about to cry... it's so sad. She's freaking pregnant! I can't believe the writers would do this pregnancy thing again... with Lana. They must really hate that character or something...

[Sicuro]

Yea, I saw that part when she layed it down, although I thought that table was way to long, and thouse waiter standing no more then 6 feet away. Thats just creepy. People easdroping like that, and I dought that it takes more then 1 person to handle 1 table.

You would think as boy/girl friends they would have there first Turky Day alone with nobody in the room.

And come on that table was just way to long lol.

[ajwsmallville]

OK, so we have established that she did not drink the wine.

[Luthorism]

yep..she didn't drink.. But this doesn't show she won't..she's an attention ho..she'll do anything for that.

[TampaVille]

As I was watching the scene, the moment I saw she had a glass of wine I was thinking "Oh God, she had BETTER not drink from that!" Then I pretty much cheered when she put it back down.

What surprised me was that Lex didn't seem to notice! Come on, he's Lex Luthor! Unless he did notice and he's just so good that he didn't give any indication that he noticed :).

[MasterJonSt]

TBH i'd be suprised if it even was wine. Although Lana has aged a little since then, I remember a certain Red k episode in which her and Clark go to a bar and Clark asks if she wants a beer, and she answer like it was the plague.

[shirkie]

I'll admit I rushed to judgment. I didn't even see the entire scene. I saw her pick up the glass, freaked out, and rushed to my laptop. I just am that concerned about FAS! That and I hate Lana. :D

Yah, she never actually took a sip of wine.

[vyperman7]

No worries Shirkie.

I have to admit that was the first thing that popped into my mind as well when I saw her pick up the glass. I thought "Should she really be drinking". She has gone on record saying he doesn't want the baby - hence the back in time comment to Clark. Knowing that she is pregnant, she shouldn't be drinking.

[thmallville]

I wished she drank all the wine and scotch and bourbon and beer and liquor Lex has in the house. That way the baby would die and then she'd be so drunk she'd forget she and Clark broke up and then she'd go back to him!!!

Wishful thinking, I know. :p

:confused: How can Clana fans hate Lana so much that they'd wish she drink her baby to death? :eek::eek:

I fear that level of ship commintment...

I will be the first to go on record saying how much I dislike Lana. But that comment was definately a bit over the top, even for me. I understand not liking Lexana, especially if you are a Clana fan like yourself.

But part of liking the Clana ship, is liking the Lana character right? To say that you want her to lose her baby, doesn't really show that you like the Lana character in my opinion. When you are a fan of the character, you don't wish harm or hope they go through pain in my opinion.

By now you just have to accept that Clark and Lana are over. They were never meant to be in the first place. You are lucky that it lasted 5 seasons, when it should have ended in three.

WOW:eek:
I hate Lana but not even I would like for her to loose her baby by accident if she wants to keep him/her. Not even her deserves that.

[shirkie]

Yay, it was only a matter of time before someone brought up infanticide... and in a positive light, no less...

The baby could seal her fate. She'll be the one stuck in Smallville.

When Lexana eventually breaks, Lex'll dole out those monthly support payments, maybe give her the deed to the Talon. When Lois and Chloe move on to Metropolis, Lana would be the #1 candidate to move back in. She's the one who'll be left behind.

Well, maybe not the only one left behind. Clark's brain's been stuck in Smallville since he blew off the Torch to be the All-American star quarterback at SV High (an arbitrary benchmark, but hey, he's had far too many no-brain benchmarks in this town).

Lana will curse Smallville for taking away her "future", while Clark will blame the town for stealing his brain.

When I heard Lana was pregnant my first thought was, "Where is she going to put the double wide?" Of course she will have to insist that others use her middle name, so from now on we have to call her Lana May. Good thing that Fordman's sells frilly slippers at a decent price.

[clana_never_give_up]

You know if you watch the episode...Lana doesn't have any...plus if you look there is water there next to her wine glass.

[caseybrn]

Can she even legally consume alcohol...

She is a freshman in college so she's like 19 right

I guess this is another example of a bad character =]

[TerraMan]

Lana to her doctor: doc, can I drink wine while I am pregnant?
Doctor: Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Ummm... I think I was being sarcastic!! I love the character of Lana, it's half of Clana! I just hate her embryonic spawn.
