Did anyone else think Lex was taking Lana to the Clark room? [Archive]

For a moment yes I did!

The music was creepy and the expression on Lana's face. And the solemn way Lex said, first there's something I have to show you or something like that.

Letting Lana in on his pet obsession would be a really big step for Lex. Especially since Clark was almost Lana's fiancee! So... yeah! I did and I was completely breathless! But... then I saw the roses and...

Proposal.

Yeah. I guess the Clark room would kill the romance and quick. LOL!

Do you think that once Lex has sealed the deal with her, that he will reveal his obsession for Clark as he did to Helen Bryce?

Lana being exposed to that room was another thing on the list I posted of things I'd love to see from that big thread that was started in the late spring/early summer.

TPTB made a big mistake. They should have gone into the break with a huge hint to Lana that Clark is an alien and that would have been a good cliffhanger. What did they do instead? Make us wonder if she will say yes. Who cares? We all know it will crumble. What a stupid "cliffhanger".

No... That room is GONE now, remember? Lex most likely has restarted his Clark Altar, but that's likely kept with all the other 33.1 worthy stuff - so that his experts can work on it day and night.

For a second there, I thought Lex might take Lana to the baby's nursery though. Awww. That would have been so sweet!

I totallly did! Seriously, that would have taken my breath away! I would have even enjoyed Lex telling Lana that he suspected Clark was affected by meteor rocks. The proposal scene wasn't awful, but I knew it was coming....

No. But I wish they would.

I mean they could have ended the episode on Lana's face. That would have been a good cliffhanger. It would have ended with laughable disappointment but...

I'd be breathless right now.

But yeah, Lex telling Lana about his obsession with Clark would have been great. And then he could have proposed...

Or wouldn't it have been twisted if he'd proposed in the spooky Clark room. LOL! He could have filled it with roses... OK now I'm being silly. Lana probably would have run screaming. But it would have been really exciting.

I'm sure TPTB are really sentimental about the secret. If Lana finds out it has to be from Clark or... who knows?

As cool as that would've been, No, I didn't expect it. Because that would actually have been something that might've left us breathless with a real cliffhanger.

No, proposing to Lana in a room that looks like a funeral parlor was definitely a better idea :rolleyes: I mean, come on, its not like Lana has ever been proposed to before....oh, wait a sec...

I'm not sure it would matter. With the way Lana's character is written, she would either love the fact that Lex has the room or she would stomp out of there.

Well, he told Clark that the crushed metal was the Porsche. But he could have easily moved it all back later on. I know he lied to Clark about destroying all those things. There's no way he would have done that.

Haha, it would have been cool if the roses covered up the Porsche and all those other Clark artifacts.

Her seeing that room was exactly how I had hoped they would have gone into the winter break. Instead, they chose not to stir up some interest during the break.

elway

11-16-2006, 11:26 PM

Yeah as soon as she said they need to find out more about the FOTW's. I said thats the surprise THE CLARK room.

But that might have gave her sympathy towards CK for all the ppl he's saved and to all the mystery around him. It could backfire against Lex to show her the room. Cause that explains the reasons he wasn't completely honest to her all these years.

Well, then they could have made it be Lionel, but they wanted to add a twist this episode to make Lionel seem like he's on Lex's side (I don't know if this is what will happen or not).

I think the best way of doing it would have been to make Lana find a surveillance camera of that room when Chloe, Jimmy & Lana were reviewing the footage. This would be a reason why Lex & his security didn't want her to look at the footage. It would have been even more interesting if Lex was in the room with them as they watched the video but phased out at a different frequency and knew she had found out about it, and even more, watched her on surveillance at the end of the episode as she would enter that room. Now that would be an awesome & creepy ending---Lana's expression of finding the room & its contents vs. Lex's expression of her finding out about it.

I was like... wait a second. That's the side door to Lex's office. That's not a baby's room. Then I thought back to the last episode. I guess Lex's mansion only has five rooms in it. :lol: We've seen the office, Lana's bedroom, the sitting room (where Lex was fencing in the pilot), the wine cellar and Boobs McChesty's room.

Perhaps for their mutual interest in uncovering that secret.

Creed0831

11-17-2006, 12:31 AM

I figure this secret will never come out but I'd love to see Lana's face if she found out Lex hired the hypnotic woman for the soul purpose of breaking her and Clark up. Granted I'm not a Clana fan but I'd just love to see her crumble. For me that was the point of no return for Lex, since Clark and him were still aquaintances even though Clark lost most of his trust in him.

the clark room,good memery,,I forgot all about that,and I have the dvd's,go figure..the way it's going does make since...I'm just guessing ,but what if,lex hates clark,and we know that has to happen somtime,because someone close to him dies,and he thanks clark or maybe superman, by that time did it,that would make a good hate,and a good reason why she's with Lex.

The last thing Lana says is something like, "If there were a 33.1 that would be ok. We need to study the freaks so we can protect ourselfs from them."

And on that romantic note Lex says, "Then there's something I need to show you." Or something like that. I knew it was a proposal but when they opened the door and the spooky music was playing and the look on Lana's face! I thought it was the Clark room.

Lex would really be letting Lana inside in a huge way if he told her about his obsession with Clark.

/\ That's why I thought it was the Clark room. The only flaw I found in the episode. Was that it was too abrupt. Because one second their talking about the kryptofreaks and from that I kind of thought Lex was going to turn Lana in a 'hate Clark'er. That would have truly been a pure evil thing to do. "Now you see why Clark is not to be trusted. Now you will hate him!"

tokenblackguy

11-17-2006, 09:23 AM

Clark room. When he was like I have something to show you, I was like OH its gonna be clark catching a car or something. Unfortunately it wasn't though. It was just the more dumb lexana stuff. Clark room would have left me breathless. Because that would have been unexpected.

Luthor5339

I'm actually surprised he hasn't shown her yet (if he still has it).

I'm not even sure if that freakin room still exists. If Lex is smart enough, he would have it removed somewhere now that Lana is living with him, dont you think?

myankskent

11-17-2006, 11:29 AM

I still don't see why Lex would show Lana the room if it did still exist. What would be the point of it? It's clear that TPTB write Lana's character with a brain the size of a wallnut, so for all we know, she'd love the fact that he has the room on Clark and is obssessed with him, but why do something so stupid if you are Lex. The last thing that I would want to do if I was Lex was to get Lana to start thinking about Clark again.

Lana had just made it clear to Lex that she didn't like meteor freaks and she thinks they have to protect themselves from them.

If Lex wanted Lana to hate Clark as much as possible (which he obviously does), then it would have been a good idea to show her the room.

Lana hates meteor freaks
Lex thinks Clark is a meteor freak (to some extent)
Lex shows Lana what he thinks
Lana hates Clark

Yes, but then again, Lana could also put the pieces together and realize that Clark does have powers and that is why he hasn't let her in all of these years. If she was really smart, she would realize that Clark has saved her hundreds of times and gave her no explanation to protect his secret. It's a bad move by Lex.

Whether Clark had a reason for lying to her all those times or not, he's still a meteor freak to them, and she would still hate him.

Who really knows if Lana would hate him. I think it depends on what kind of mood the writers are feeling that day. In Reckoning, Lana accepted Clark in a matter of hours. In the past, she has actually liked some of the meteor freaks. She didn't hate all of them. It could go either way.

Not for one second did I think Lex would show her the 'Clark' room. That would have been an asinine thing to do. He would have to trust her implicitly in order to do that especially given her history with Clark.

Yes, but see, Lex wouldn't know that and she would keep it to herself, which would make for one HELL of a plot. Lex would be surprised by the fact that she wouldn't hate Clark (if she did put it all together in her mind) after her prior statement of needing to protect themselves from the freaks. Or if Lana faked hating Clark, she would eventually break and Lex would get wind of it, and that would allow for some very interesting things to happen (the unravelling of Lexana, which is what I'm waiting for).

Well, his trust factor must have increased since she didn't know he was in the room when he was "phased out" in a different frequency and she was talking to Chloe, and Lex knows that. She had all that time to talk to Chloe about not trusting Lex and her true motives, but she didn't, which means that it would give Lex more reason to trust her. I don't think it would have been assanine, since her prior statement was that they had to protect themselves from the freaks. Lex could have thought that the Clark room was the insurance he needed to permanently get her away from Clark.

chlarkfan333

11-17-2006, 04:10 PM

^It's too soon for Lex to be that trusting of Lana. Just a few episodes ago he tested her loyalty to him and all Static showed is that Lana loves him. Lana's statement about Level 33.1 being understandable does not mean she is trustworthy. Here's how I think about it. Lex is all about power and control. To quote a few people 'Knowledge is power.' What that also means, is ownership and CONTROL of knowledge of it is power. So, unless Lex is 100% positive of Lana's loyalty and allegiance to him, he stands a lot to lose by showing her the Clark room (assuming it is still there).

Yeah, I guess so. It just seems like a very weak plot if Lex was the one to show her the room. If Lionel showed her, different story, but after this episode, it's clear that Lionel has no intentions on filling Ms. Lang in on anything that Lex does.

xrayvision

11-17-2006, 04:22 PM

I agree. Before this episode Lionel showing her would have made sense, but now, no more. Unless, he and Lana really are planning to keep an eye on Lex and shows her the room as a sample of Lex's true nature & obsession. Again, I still think it would be the easiest & safest for Lionel to have Lex committed to an asylum or jail. Maybe the reason he's not doing that is for Lana. I dunno.

The only thing that would make sense now would be for Pete to return and start making his first steps towards his future political career by becoming Lex's advisor or intern, and upon snooping around, finds the room and shows it to Lana not long afterwards. I think Pete does belong back in the show since he is a mythos character, and there can be a lot for him to do. He "owed" Lex as seen in Forsaken, so being an advisor to Lex while keeping an eye on him at the same time would be good.

It would also make sense if in a future episode, Clark realizes what Lex is doing with 33.1 and is somehow set to believe that his secret may also be exposed after one of Lex's released freaks also finds the Clark room and attacks Clark. This would make Clark suspicious since he would remember that room is where all the clues to his secret are kept, causing him to check to see what's in the room at the present. Lana would then find him breaking into the room and follow him in there.

Didn't notice those. I'll watch that part again tonight.

As far as Lex's "Then there's something I have to show you", it really doesn't make sense how why he would say that after Lana said that 33.1 is necessary to protect themselves from the freaks. The proposal had nothing to do with that, unless he's so messed up that the reason he wants to marry her is because she's on his side with 33.1.
