I know what you mean. These last few episdoes, have been some of the best this season. This episode just feels out of place. You know? Is it a lame FoTW episode, a boring Stalker episode or will it have substance. You're just not sure.

Best scene was when Lex shoved everything back up Clarks *ss :lol: Ouch
i think the title speaks for itself.
i really feel cheated. nothing that i wanted to happen happened, as usual. what an episode filler. that was by far the WORST episode i have EVER seen. hands down. no questions asked.
WHY ARE JIMMY AND CHLOE KISSING?
WHY DID LANA AND CLARK NOT TALK MORE?
WHERE WAS THE INTERESTING PLOT?
i am extremely upset and angry right now.

This episode was kind of pointless... nothing really happened besides Chloe and Jimmy getting back together and Clark getting invited to Lex and Lana's engagement (aside from the overused 'Lana has a stalker' plot).
MidgardDragon
02-08-2007, 07:05 PM
I voted 8, because I am generous, and because it's Smallville. If it were any other show than Smallville, I'd probably say 7.
Either way, that's a good score. The episode was fillerish, but advanced some key plots, like Lana and the secret. I thought it was a very good stalker/slasher show, I especially like how they shot that one part with the paparazi guy taking pictures. And I also liked the twist with the security guard (which to be honest if I hadn't saw the "is it the security guard?" thread on here I wouldn't have even thought of.)
I have a feeling I will be in the minority by not hating this one, though, because ya'll are whiny and hard to please. ;)

Isn't Emily Densmore dead? Can't remember the details.
I said when the first incident happen, "Bet it's an inside job!" How else could the guy have gotten past the mansion's *cough* stellar security?

Coming off a Hydro through Crimson high, this episode was pretty sweet.
I really liked alot of the new stuff, like footage of Metropolis/DP in snow, Lana's rude-awakening from her world with Lex, and the return of the necklace.
One of the better Lana stalker episodes, that continues the dynasty of amazing season six episodes, starting from Hydro.
coasterprincess
02-08-2007, 07:10 PM
bleh...wasn't all that impressed. I'll give it a 6 cuz nothing totally offended me (aside from another round of Clana hints) and because that last bit with Lex and Clark in the barn was well done.

The CW write-up mentioned Chloe having to examine her feelings for best friend, yet the topic didn't come up once. There was absolutely no indication that she and Clark really had ever thought about each other. I shudder to think the writers are so desperate to resurrect the Lex/Lana/Clark snoozefest that they dropped the entire plot line.

Can we say WTF; it was extremely boring, typical, predictable and choppy as hell.
The only saving grace was again the acting of Rosenbaum.
I gave it a 2 and only because the second number stalked the first number. :rolleyes:

02-08-2007, 07:16 PM

other then that it was o.k. i had the stalker peged in the first 15 mins. at least the manitory stalk lana eps is done for the season
Raging Clue
02-08-2007, 07:16 PM
Seems like a filler episode to me. Lana isn't any closer to Clark's secret. She knows glass can't cut him, just like steel can't penetrate him. I think a 7 is generous.
MidgardDragon
02-08-2007, 07:17 PM
I didn't read the CW write-up. Most write-ups are just self-promotion in order to get viewers anyways. I suggest sticking to trailers, you will avoid disappointment much easier that way.

10 Loved it. this stalker sode had a darker feel to it and its nice seeing this Lana getting a tiny bit kinder and closer to the secret. (I am a comic Lana fan HATE SV Lana)
And the Lex/Clark scene rocked.
Lex is still so bad :lol:.
smallvillesweetie
02-08-2007, 07:21 PM
I gave it a 10 I thought it was really good and exciting. I guessed right away who the stalker was cus it's kinda predictable now that that normally the security is the bad guy. I thought it was the best stalker eps. that they've had. I really loved the snow shots they had too. You can finally tell that the whole lexana relationship is a sham by the look lana gave when she was kissing him then making a false smile afterwards. The end scene with lex and clark was just heartwrenching too cus you could see th pain in clark's face when he sees what his ex best friend has become, I thought that scene was really well acted out. I don't think it can compare to the last eps. but I thought it was very well done :)

I'll admit it: I was surprised by "Trespass". I wasn't really looking forward to this one but found it to be pretty good. I thought the special effects when Lana has her showdown with the one paparazzi guy were amazing, and I think the show was written exceptionally well. I was really thinking they were going to take the risk and have Lana find out about Clark via Chloe's laptop for a second there, but . . .

I really didn't care for this episode at all. The performances seemed forced and the plot rather pointless. It appeared to me that even a modicum of time that could have been spent dealing with fallout from events in last week's episode was instead sacrificed so that we could move from location to location and watch Lana react and react and react...
Clark seemed so joyless, which is a mirror image of the state in which this episode left me. Bleh!

02-08-2007, 07:24 PM
Too many people don't look a the good acting in the episodes and how every episode is differen't and you don't have too watch the last episoded too understand it really unless it's season openers or enders. Great Episode because of all the things we saw like the necklass what Lana has been doing, taking pictures of Kent Barn, and that Clark got an invitation to wedding.

Yes, I was wondering when all those snowstorms Vancouver had would start showing up on the series.
I voted 8. I found it entertaining with the stalking scenes and all and didn't spoil myself too much so I wasn't sure if it was the security guard or if the paparazzi had some meteor power.
I also didn't know if Chlimmy were breaking up or making up.
Wonder what happened to Lana in that hospital?

decent episode, but definitely a filler episode that didn't move the season arc along too much. while lana was yet again slow to pick up on the very obvious stalker, his little monologue when he was officially revealed was actually believable, creepy, and at the same time made you sympathize with him, because Lex is in fact a creep. It was also nice to see Lana actually trying to uncover Clark's secret, and the change in sets was good, too (the Luthor mansion, Talon, Daily Planet, and Loft scenes get way too much camera time).
Best thing, hands down, was the end scene between Clark and Lex, a part of episodes that the smallville guys just keep doing very well. Good music the go with the tension and the "spit in your face" comment that Lex made. Its too bad that the show doesn't push these really good tensions that they have set up between the characters more often. And they need to do more ensemble scenes with 3 or more characters talking, like in Hydro. More dynamic.

Krypto/DQ/
02-08-2007, 07:37 PM
Boring.
I gave it a 7.
Mostly because I guessed who the stalker was almost right away. Which I hardly ever do, hehe.
And I kind of hoped that Lana would have ran into Clark's barn and hid there, instead of just staying in his bedroom. I guess I just assumed wrong, since she was caught snooping around there.
I really liked the ending scene, but again, got disappointed because they left out the bit in the director's cut.
The performances were pretty good, especially Rosenbaum's. So I gave it a 7!
warriorrenegade
02-08-2007, 07:46 PM
I enjoyed it. I'll give it an 8, just a regular o'l 8. Good story, moved alot of the stories/arcs/ whatever the hell you call them along. And whoever shot this episode did a goodjob. That whole paprazzi shot was killer, what with all the flashbulbs and the chasing. Is it just me or is SV having more movement in their shots? I don't know what you'd call it, but they seem to be letting the actors move around. Anyways its probably just me. Still cool episode. Freak looks weird by the way, just weird LOL.

Some of the worst written scenes in the last couple of years of Smallville. I am a huge fan and I love the show. Please don't think I'm just wanting to flame the review.. This is the first negative review I have ever given. The one redeeming thing from the episode was Lana learning about Clark.. but seriously, the butcher knife in hand posing for 45 seconds on the porch in front of 40 reporters.. and she did pose.. just bad.

Didn't like it. Found it to be a boring and pointless filler episode. Once again, Lex proves he has the worst security in the world and can't hire anyone worth a damn. I still can't stand Lana and how Clark wants anything more to do with her considering she's sneaking into his barn is beyond me. If he goes to the wedding, he's an idiot.
I thought the scene between Clark and Lex at the end though was great.

02-08-2007, 08:01 PM
From the spoilers I thought this was going to be a crapfullatastic episode: Lana has a stalker... again... blah blah blah. But I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was intruiging, sweet, and Lanas getting baby steps closer to Clarks secret. Other things I enjoyed were: the snowy establishing shots, the reapparance of the necklace, that good Clex scene, the great music choice during it, and the Chimmy. KK has also come a long way as an actress.
Overall, it certainly is a step down from the past four...
BlueDiamond
02-08-2007, 08:02 PM
1) Lana's meteor-rock-induced powers to make people love her for no reason strike again! Whoopee.
2) Lana has no respect for anyone's privacy. And Clark still doesn't want her to know his secret. Smart boy. I don't understand why Chloe was trying to argue with him over it, though.
3) Chloe and Jimmy getting back together disappointed me. I know Chloe's love life has been pretty barren, but I feel like their relationship just drags her character down. It's not fun.
4) Lana protecting Clark's secret from Lex is totally out of character for her. Unless she's just waiting until she knows all of the secret before telling him. That, I would buy.
I liked all the snow and the throwbacks to previous seasons, though.

I voted 8. I thought it was good acting on all parts and once again Jimmy comes up with some funny lines when "standing up" to Clark. I liked how Clark responded with "she [Chloe] must be pretty special for you to end up in a body cast." Classic! I was shocked when they showed the necklace which was once Kryptonite. Great touch! All in all, good filler episode with a nice "in your face" moment at the end with Lex and Clark.

This is the wrong forum, but I disagree. I don't think this episode was filler at all. It had some pretty good plot advancements(although, not as good as the ones from last week). We're getting so close to Lana finally figuring out the secret.
chole_fan
02-08-2007, 08:22 PM
An okay episode as a whole with a few great moments thrown in. I gave it a 6 for those moments. The scene between Clark and Lex at the end was great! The rest just didn't leave much of an impression at all.
wolverine316
02-08-2007, 08:25 PM
For the most part it was a boring episode. I gave it a 7 because the Clark & Lex scene in the barn and when Clark saved Lana from hitting the floor saved the episode.

You are so right, when I think back the posing with the knife was REALLY BAD! ROTFLMAO!
I gave the episode a 7. IT was entertaining and I liked the Chloe and Jimmy cuteness. I know, I know...:rolleyes: But I did.
Also I think it did progress the relationship between Clark and Lana, maybe more respect and awe on her part. She definately sees Lex differently.

Above the clouds
02-08-2007, 09:07 PM
filler episode: smallville writers need to watch supernatural, maybe they would learn something. piece of sh*t.
Meh. Boring, predictable, and full of wtf moments...
Jimmy goes from Clark-is-a-jerk from Crimson to "he's a decent guy" tonight in one conversation?
Jimmy just gets back together with Chloe with a snap of the fingers? I thought there would be a bit more fallout for their relationship.
Clark was mad at Chloe and pretty much disowned Lex because of their snooping around for his secret, but he's not mad at Lana for snooping around his barn and his bedroom for her own selfish reasons?
Clark will catch Lana but did he even attempt to save the stalker's life? For that matter, did he even check up on the papparazi guy that was shot and killed in the hospital? Would have been nice to actually see that, if he did, but it probably means he didn't.
"For the same reason you've been watching me." HUH? Say what? What does that even mean?
Why wouldn't anybody with stalker tendencies expect for Lana to go the Kent farm? How she felt about Clark was only splashed all over the front page of the B section of the greatest newspaper in the DC universe back in Hydro, thanks to Linda Lake. So duh, why wouldn't the Kent farm be a consideration?
Why would Lex go away on a business trip and leave Lana to her own devices? Even if he doesn't really give a fig about her, he seems to give it about this baby (for whatever reasons), and if Lana goes then so does the baby. You'd think he'd want to stick around and make sure that doesn't happen... or at least put her in a better place besides the Talon before he jets off.
So, according to Chloe, Lana has chosen a side to be loyal to... um, well, she's still going to marry Lex, so how loyal an act is that really?
And there's probably more I can't think of right now...
BadToad
02-08-2007, 09:48 PM
I thought this was a pretty awful episode. I gave it the lowest possible, 1, because I thought it committed the worst sin of all...it was boring.
The only props to hand out in this episode go to the final Clex scene because both TW and MR brough a nice intensity to it, and the Clark/Jimmy scenes, which showed a promise of a nice friendship yet to come.
But other then that? Incredibly disappointed with this one.
Bat_Lantern
02-08-2007, 09:51 PM
I have to agree with Diva here, Clark and Jimmy's friendship should be handled a little better, it's a thing of legend in a 70 year old mythology and they are jumping back and forth a little too soap opera-ey for my taste.
And Lana has done/said SO many awful things to Clark (and vice versa) and then the writers flip a switch and boom, all is forgiven and they are still in love.

I rated this episode a 1 simply because there wasn't a 0 option. It wasn't as bad as Wither which I would have to reach into the negatives to vote for, but Jeeze, what a load of blah.
Two minutes into the episode, I had it figured that it was a member of Lex's lamo security team. It did take me halfway thru the episode to decide if it was security man #1 or #2. but who really cares?
The only thing I can say I liked about this episode was the Clark/Jimmy moment and Lex twisting the screw...U...Invitation to Clark.

This episode was a little boring. I was hoping that this would be the episode where Lana would know for sure about Clark's secret but instead it's just her tracking his secret down and being sneaky about it. That was more interesting than the stalker/body guard plotline. All in all, the episode was boring but had a few interesting scenes. I give it a 7/10.

It's been a while since a Lana-gets-stalked-and-beat-up episode.
There were some cool shots of the snow, but I felt the episode was shot too much in the dark. I could hardly see anything.
Don't like the resurrection of the Clana.
Instead of breaking up Chimmy got back together. Whatever.
Where's Lionel. I miss him.
So I gave the episode a 6.

I am so surprised at the negative reaction to this episode. I thought it was fantastic! This evidenced some really phenomenal writing and direction. Sure the plot was a bit filler, but I watch this show ultimately for the little moments between the characters. There was some teriffic interaction in this episode between Clark and Lana, Lex and Lana, Clark and Lex, Clark and Jimmy, Jimmy and Chloe, and more. And I really really liked the atmosphere in this episode, the darker creepiness, the snow. And I really liked how the writing of the episode focused so much on Lana and Clark and yet these two characters remained apart until the climax. And the moment where they panned across the floor to Clark's shoes and up to him holding Lana: classic!
quietone
02-08-2007, 11:06 PM
I gave it a 5. There were some good parts the Clark/Lex scene, Clark/Jimmy interaction, snowy Luthor mansion and Metropolis shots. And then there were some bad parts - Lana has yet another stalker, the continuing baffling behavior of Martha Kent, the short shriff given to the Chloe re-examining her feelings for Clark storyline (that didn't really happen) and the Jimmy/Chloe make up scene. It wasn't fleshed out enough. IMO, this was the worst time to have this type of episode because it didn't really build on what came before it. Just when you think things are progressing everything just seemed to go back to the status quo.

I gave it a 7 simply because I enjoyed watching it (though I always enjoy watching SV anyway...except for Hypnotic, but I pretend that doesn't exist). It was definite filler, there's no denying that, but I wasn't bored. The Clex scene was of course the best, but there were some weird elements overall. I love how Lex said that he felt helpless not being able to protect Lana, but wasn't it his decision to jet off to another country despite her thinking she was being stalked? That made no sense. Neither did Clark's "Maybe for the same reason you've been watching me." Huh? I'm still trying to figure that out. Besides that though, and the pretty obvious identity of the stalker, I liked it. A step down from the previous two episodes, but hardly the worst.
Unmitigated. Load. Of. Cr*p.
It was just some cheapass Lana-centric slasher movie ripoff. Good lord. Ten minutes in, we know it's the creepy security guard, and we're done. Except for the agonizing, drawn-out watch-Lana-never-figure-it-out rest of the episode.
Okay, you're in the bedroom, you see some blood seeping in under the door. Do you:
a. Call 911.
b. Pile the furniture against the door and call 911.
c. Open the door, step over the body, and fall down the stairs.
Who writes this stuff?
My favorite two lines:
1. "You two must have something special. She's stalking you!"
2. "She risked her life to keep that photograph from Lex. I think this proves where her loyalty lies."
Loyalty? Lana? Sure. We can tell from the way she's treated both Clark and Lex. Two-faced conniving little sneak.
And I finally know what Lionel's been up to. He's replaced Martha with a robot. There's no other explanation for why she can't see the colossal inappropriateness of attending the Lexana engagement party or letting Lana stay at the farm in Clark's bedroom.
Hey, everybody, Chlimmy's back together! That deep examination of the complex feelings Chloe has for Clark and how they're affecting her personal life took all of...actually, it didn't happen. So what about the fact that she couldn't even deny last week that she'd rather be with Clark than Jimmy? Never mind, folks! We're due for another round of the ootsy wootsy cutesypoos!
The ending Clark-Lex scene had the acting, the chemistry, everything it needed to be memorable, but ended up being about nothing. In other words, Lana. Had this scene been about right and wrong, something, anything substantial, it could have been great. But it was just silly, especially when we've just witnessed Lex being punked by Lana.
All about Clark
02-08-2007, 11:53 PM
It sucked!
OK, now that I got that off my chest, I gave it a 4, just for bringing back Lana's necklace and her finding it in Clark's bedroom.
It really was quite boring despite a couple good scenes. I guess I just can't handle Lana centric shows.

I liked it for one big reason - If Lana DOES find out Clark's secret, then she'll know what he did and why - it'll give Clark a friggin break from the guilt...

Except for the dud mystery, I thought it was a solid episode. Nothing amazing but it did progress the storylines for the rest of this season. I really hope Lana finds out on her own!
Chloe was told by Alicia, Pete by Clark, but Lana actually has all the pieces to figure this thing out on her own if she would only be allowed to use her brain! (she's actually met Kryptonians before)

I really liked this ep. I was dreading it due to all the Lana but they made it work. I thought this was a nice solid ep. They didn't drift away from the main theme and I was on the edge of my seat.(mostly for the scare) I really liked the ep but it wasn't one of the best.

I thought The Episode was Excellent, I really did like it, I really liked The Scene where Clark comes speeding in The Room where Lana was and throwed that Guy off of her, and I was glad to see Lana and Chloe still being Friends, and I also liked The Scene where Lana and that Guy was falling through The Window and Clark catches Lana, and it was also nice to see Lex talking to Clark about what happens the last time he was there, I can't wait to see Next Weeks Episode, it is going to be great, I wonder if Chloe has Powers, I can't wait to find out.

Gave it a 7 even though I knew who the baddie was in the first 15. Was thrown by the deletion from the director's cut. It does leave it open as to who exactly has the chisel.
Freak looks pretty cool. Problem is, with all the "refined meteor rock" that looks to be taking center stage, Clark may be pretty useless.

I waited till today to vote and post my thoughts.
I gave the episode a solid "2".
One point for the snow, the other point for letting me catch up on some much needed sleep. I dozed off fifteen minutes into the episode.
I watched the entire episode this morning.
On further reflection, I should have added another point for the snow scenes, it is about time the weather changed, since there were flowers in full bloom last week and this week a blizzard.
Frozen fruit in the trees in southern California, and fresh flowers in Kansas, hmmmm makes sense :\
Were there any "Super" things in the episode?
I believe two "wooshes" as Clark sped away, and one super catch. If this were the first episode someone watched, who would the viewer think had suerpowers? Lana of course, she bounces down a flight of stairs and no broken bones but only a slight scuff on the noggin, falls through a skylight and lands in someone's arms without even an exclamation of a "ughh".
How many people have died at the Kent farm so far?
Who cleans up the place? Shelby?

The episode was solid. I gave it an eight. My only dislike of the episode is that we only get a hint of Clark using his powers. I know this episode didn't really call for him to use them to much, but I still would have like to have seen him streaking toward the hospital instead of the swish sound with Jimmy. I will say that I did like the editing in the final scene with Lana. The way it was done, I didn't mind not seeing him speeding into the room. I liked the camera pan of the dead guard over to Clarks feet. That was cool.

I rated it a 5 but only because it was better than I thought it would be. I pretty much decided I was going to have to suffer through the next three epis since there is no Lois. (And I was not wanting it to go full blown Clana).
The Clana stuff was bad enough. However, the Lex showing his true colors more and more is exciting as was the snow and the darkness.
That aside, there was alot that does not make sense all of it already mentioned...the confusing "Maybe for the same reason you have been watching over me?" Seriuosly WTH does that mean?
Lana goes all stalker, jeapordizes her an Mrs. Kent's safety just show she can find out more about Clark. Yeah that's what I call loyalty.
The Chimmy stuff was cute but I too thought, "just like that, all is cool."
I see Lana more aligned now with Lex and find it painful that Clark still harbors any sort of feelings for her. She looked like crazy obssessed person trying to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Filler episode...not much in moving the story along and yes a let down after epis like Hydro, Justice, and Crimson.

This episode left me scratching my head. Maybe that was the writers intent, but nothing has been answered or even close to being answered. Even if Lana does find out Clarks secret then what? Does it change anything at all? Jimmy and Chloe made up so they just go back to doing what they have been doing is there any intersting dialogue for them besides I missed you and make out? Besides a few Zoners so far who is the Clarks main villain this year, Lex has been worried about Lana and the baby, what is he doing behind closed doors? As far as this episodes is concerned they wasted a show to actually get the ball rolling.

I was disappointed. I guess the whole title thing misleaded me, especially about the Chlark arc. That was wrong on so many levels.
Like someone said before, it didnt offend me, it just was kind of a dull episode, with some good overall story moments. Lex was good of course. Some of the Clark Jimmy interaction was cool too.
I guess after coming off of four good episodes, this was a disappointment. Lets just hope they get back on track.
3 - for Lana-centrism and overused plot. I wish one Lana's stalkers finally killed her.
I wasn't too thrilled with this episode. Lex jettin' off so he wasn't in the episode seems to be a habit now with the writers if a character isn't going to be in the show - he/she's on a plane somewhere.......
I was able to figure out the whole episode in the first few minutes - so no excitement there at all.
At least Lana fought a little bit and Clark didn't have to save her through the whole episode - he only had to be there twice to catch or protect her - but it would have been better if it wasn't so 'damsel in distress' for the whole show.

Actually I hate Clana with a passion I didn't think this was so bad. Cinematography was good. The scene where Lana stumbles into the hospital instruments while being snapped was quite good I thought. Plot may not have been great but kudos to the crew for the atmosphere.
And I think Kristin needs a lozenge.

ok - here's my intial reaction, or rather non-reaction, to "Trespass".
Aside from a feeling of nausea each time we are given the "looks" between Clark and Lana. *throw-up* oops! --:o sorry..., i was left feeling ... inert... (if that can be a feeling) This ep left me with nothing (besides wondering why i wasted time watching it)
It has made me come to the decision to not bother wasting my time watching it in the future. :(
it looked to me like its intention was as an audition-piece for KK to add to her portfolio. --'nuff said:(
(i was much more intrigued with the Lexana powerplay of other eps - that showed promising potential)
Oh, also, my response to the Clark and Chlimmy banter- By having TW act to show it very clearly without a doubt that Clark and CHloe are ONLY FRIENDS is negating everything the writers have given us on them so far. ----As I mentioned before when someone tries to shove something down my throat.... well u know what happens. (and i doubt i'm the only one that feels that way):( I'm normally a physically healthy, well-adjusted individual. I don't need this sh*t! :mad:

5 - it had good moments and bad moments.Finally Lana starts to realisize Clarks real identity.YAY!
I did not care for this episode, and I don't feel it really moved along any of the current story arcs. Sure, we saw that Lana is now actively "investigating" Clark's secret again, but in my opinion, she is no further along than she has ever been in finding Clark's secret out.
Also, this episode confused more than any other episode this season. I mean what in the heck does Lana really want? What does Clark want? There has been a nice (in my opinion anyways) continuity going on in the last several episodes. This episode raised all kinds of questions and we now appear to be back at guessing at what is going on.
This episode sucked, and I can't stand what's going on now.

I thought it was funny how Clark caught Lana falling from a 30-ft skylight and THAT alone didn't cause her to call him on not quite being normal.
I also thought it was funny how Clark's room had posters and stuff like he's still in high school!
i liked the episode , it took a lot from the slasher movie theme and it was quite interesting the way lana was drawing ever closer to find out clarks secret...
i like the fact that jimmy and clark got on well cos there is no reason they shouldn't and jimmy is supposed to worship CK anyway.
was a good episode, the more they go away from the kryptonite-induced villains the more i like.
diversity is the key.

I agree! Now y'all just need to word that in the "past-tense", and it works just fine!
...because,' you see, we all loved Clana when our little Clarky first wanted her and we were happy for him when he finally got her, I especially thought their b'day cake w/candles scene was very romantic and their "morning after the deed" scene was especially cute and endearing. We felt his pain each time he was rejected by her and it was great seeing Clark get what he wanted after all that pining ... BUT now they're trying to "beat a dead horse" as they say. It's overkill and it's killing the show, unfortunately...
If this show is to continue it's previous and delightful representation of real life "coming of age" scenarios, Clark should know by now that it was all just an infatuation, not true love, and be over her.
Speaking of Lana, I never thought she was pretty, and she's only become less and less so as time goes on. But what a great evil duo she and Lex are! She actually looks quite grand at his side! :) I actually enjoy this side of her and I think it works!
But now that she's had a taste of evil, when she acts all sweet and innocent it looks very contrived, and Clark looks very stupid.

I don't think I could have put it better myself. I haven't liked Lana since Clark and Lana did the deed. I know that Lana can't stay with Lex, but I just hope they don't put her back with Clark so they can have another break up. I wouldn't mind seeing Lana and Clark as friends though. They need to make Lana choose a side between good and evil. She's straddling the line and it's affecting the show in a negative way.

And the sad fact is Smallville is indeed about the journey to Lexana. I think that's the one thing the writers have been developing since the very moment Lana and Lex met each other in that stable. There's an essay about this whole Lexana journey somewhere in the speculations forum.
That being said, IMO Tresspass is a decent filler episode.

Just because what you wanted to happen didn't happen, does not mean this episode sucked. You appear to not have the ability to differentiate between your dislike of the episode and the episode sucking. They are two completely different things. You are just like the people who think Kristen Kreuk sucks because they hate the Lana character. Two completely different entities. Kristen has done a good job with what she has had to work with. Just because you do not like the character does not mean the actress sucks. Just because you did not like the episode for personal reasons, does not mean the episode sucked. Please, before you go around screaming "horrible episode" because things didn't go your way, think. Did this episode truly suck, or am I irritated because Lex and Lana kissed? Also, just because you wanted it to happen does not mean I wanted it to happen. Just because you wanted it to happen, does not mean TPTB wanted it to happen. Just because you wanted it to happen does not mean it is the best thing for the show. It "might" actually screw things up.
Note: I'm in no way saying this episode was good. I'm not saying it's bad either. I'm just saying that an episode doesn't suck because your a Chlarker and Clark kissed Lana.

Well I knew that the streak of great episodes had to come to an end. I was actually looking forward to this episode for development with the secret in regards to Lana. I hate Clana with a passion. But even I want Lana to just know the secret already. I was impressed by the fact that they actually showed continuity with Crimson with the mention of what happened at the dinner, and with Lana having the busted blade that Lex tried to stab Clark with. So the episode had a great set up. But it turned into yet another Lana stalker episode. The episode had a few good scenes in it. I really liked the ending. I hate the Clexana storyline, but it is great to see Lex get in a dig @ Clark like that every once and awhile. I also actually liked the scene with Lana in Clark's bedroom if anything just for the continuity with her old necklace and how Clark had it.
While I definately don't think this episode qualifies as one of the series' worst (Ageless will always hold that title) it definately ends the momentum that S6 built up with the previous four episodes. Hydro, Justice, Labrynth, and Crimson were all really great and entertaining episodes, and from the previews with the continuity coming in from Crimson, I was hoping for something more out of this episode.
I could see the villain coming from a mile away. So predictable.

I agree and disagree with parts of this statement.
In the first 3 seasons Lana was extremely attractive. I think she looked the best in late S1/early S2. Granted, the Clana sucked, but KK looked great in the earlier seasons of the show.
But I could not agree more than she has become less and less attractive in the later seasons. Some people get better looking with age, and others look better when they are younger. Lana definately falls under that category. Starting with S4, she just started going downhill.
I also agree with you on the fact that Lana is actually entertaining when she gets to show a darker side, like when she blackmailed the doc in the elevator, and with this episode by standing up to the security detail - "You should follow my orders now".

all the polls i've looked at show only about a quarter to a third of fans still enjoy Clana. The majority are literally SICK of it, some to the point of giving up watching the show all together!
(but y'all know what they say: "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". and it seems most of the Clana fans are the ones who have the time and energy to write and send letters, who have no real-life commitment, ie. the young'ns... tho they're not the ones with the means to purchase the products advertised while the show airs... hell most of them prolly get their downloads and don't even watch the CW. ... tptb ought to get a clue! )

02-12-2007, 12:46 PM
most viewers (almost none) don't write in or post on the internet. they don't have time. when clana is on, the show is more successful. more viewers, better subplots, the most drama. it's the show's bread and butter. I repeat, this show wouldn't have gone past one, not a single one, seaon if tw and kk didn't light off fireworks with their whatever it is between them. it hasn't changed. they've tried other things and tptb know that they can't figure anything else for the life of them that brings 1/5 of the juicy hits than what clana brings every SINGLE time. even with everything that has happened, it's still the show's strongest play in the book, and that's saying a lot. just because all the loyal fans don't obsess about wishful thinking about supporting characters on the internet doesn't mean what I'm saying isn't DEAD ON. tptb know this all the way and will keep clana going until the VERY END OF THE SHOW. learn to like it. you'll get another season because of it and it really is the ONLY thing in the show that has displayed any magic (in a pop culture sense and it's nearly the only REASON for smallville). It's a good thing.

Honestly, unless the writers are dumping almost a century of history, Lana gets left behind, and Lois is the wife of tommorrow, everything else is just gravy on the taters.
I am the last of my family members who watch Smallville weekly, 8 out of 9 of my brothers & sisters watched, now it is only my household. The reason they gave for leaving the series is, "Too Soap Opera like".
So they moved back to CSI. (I watch CSI online).

I liked the part with Lana snooping around behind Clark and Chloe's back, that was good character development towards the evil compatriot of Lex I want her to be.
I was bored to TEARS by the antics of her stalker and the horribly cliche manner in which
"SHE SEES HIM"
"2 SECONDS PASS"
"DID ANYONE SEE HIM!?!!"
"NO YOUR CRAZY"
YAWN
This was a bad "B" movie with Lana as the protagonist and Clark as a dues-ex-machina, once again clichely(if thats a word lol) saving her 1 second before her death, catching her in his arms and totally brushing off her questioning in a manner which ultimately just angers her further.
Plus what was up with the way they cut out the reshaping of the chisel and the revelation that Clark has it from the Director's Cut? Are they calling on audible on the Smallville plot? Is this story truly so hackney?
Instead the episode goes out with Clark and Lex fussing over Lana, how original. :rolleyes:
vyperman7
02-13-2007, 06:00 PM
At this point in the series, there should be little to no focus on Clark's love life. He is not in high school anymore. With presumably only one more season, shouldn't they be doing as much as they can to forshadow the future, and develop Clark and Lex into their future personas? Too much time is being spent on Lana and who she ends up with. I have always hated the fact that the animosity between Clark/Lex is being based around Lana. It should be based on the fact they are growing into two different people with different personalities and views on the world.
I think the main mistake this show made was making Lana out to be too damn important. They put her into the mythology in S4, and are making her the main reason why Clark/Lex have animosity towards one another.
Clark and Lana should have gotten together in S3, and not S5, broken up, and then it should have ended with Clark and Lana as friends with her protecting Clark's secret. That is it.
The rest of the show should have been spent building up Clark and Lex towards who they will be in the future.
This show seems to have NOTHING to do with developing Clark/Lex at all anymore. It switches off between filler episodes and the Clexana triangle. Aside from Justice and a few quips from Oliver about Clark getting more proactive, what development have we really had?

no one cares but a hardcore few. when this show traces the supes/lex mythology or gets too heavy with cameos from other superheroes, it becomes embarrassing to watch. it's god awful. it's one of the worst shows on tv when bad young actors try to act like comic book characters, all put together by bottom feeding wb/cw talent. the action is bad, the writing is worse and the storytelling (if you can call it that) is frighteningly dumber than the game show deal or no deal. clana will continue through the series end, on some level or another. it's the only thing that works well. whatever wishes we might have had for a good development of clark and lex into their future characters was incinerated when they brought lois on board. the show has been reeling ever since. when she pops up, however spritely the atmosphere, you see right there, everytime, how bad this show truly has become. could it have worked? sure, but they got a bad actress. next season will give the fanboys everything they want, but mark my words, it won't be good, no matter how much you get what you want. this show works for one reason. is it sad, in a way. but it just is what it is. this show has had less than a handful of actually smart episodes. there hasn't been one for over 2 years now. they're riding this thing out. there's money to be made and they're sticking to the formula that got them here. it's all very easy to see and when it does change, in season 7, it gonna be BAD television. this is the wb/cw people; the shows they make are horrible.

At this point in the series, there should be little to no focus on Clark's love life. He is not in high school anymore.
I haven't been in high school since 2001 and I've had a love-life most of that time still, and it does remain a big part of my life.

Not in high school anymore meaning focus on Lana. It is my understanding that Lana was Clark's high school love interest. That relationship should have ended when Clark finished high school. Graduating high school should have meant that he moved on to a different time in his life - growing up, developing more Superman like personality traits, connecting more with Jor-El/his heritage, more of an interest in journalism, etc..
I want the show to do a lot more forshadowing and development especially since we are into the last few seasons of the show.
This whole season has been wasted on Clexana nonsense.

no one cares but a hardcore few. when this show traces the supes/lex mythology or gets too heavy with cameos from other superheroes, it becomes embarrassing to watch. it's god awful. it's one of the worst shows on tv when bad young actors try to act like comic book characters, all put together by bottom feeding wb/cw talent. the action is bad, the writing is worse and the storytelling (if you can call it that) is frighteningly dumber than the game show deal or no deal. clana will continue through the series end, on some level or another. it's the only thing that works well. whatever wishes we might have had for a good development of clark and lex into their future characters was incinerated when they brought lois on board. the show has been reeling ever since. when she pops up, however spritely the atmosphere, you see right there, everytime, how bad this show truly has become. could it have worked? sure, but they got a bad actress. next season will give the fanboys everything they want, but mark my words, it won't be good, no matter how much you get what you want. this show works for one reason. is it sad, in a way. but it just is what it is. this show has had less than a handful of actually smart episodes. there hasn't been one for over 2 years now. they're riding this thing out. there's money to be made and they're sticking to the formula that got them here. it's all very easy to see and when it does change, in season 7, it gonna be BAD television. this is the wb/cw people; the shows they make are horrible.
Now I personally have not been a fan of the show since S3. Starting with S4 it just went downhill, and ever since then, the only reason I watch is out of habbit. There will be an episode every once and awhile, I truly enjoy, but the consistency is gone. Now where we will disagree is why the show has gone downhill.
I personally think it is the Clana ship that has done it. The show has become angst ridden and focuses way too much on the Clana relationship. They have made Lana out to be far too important and have to come up with excuses to give her a more impotant role. In S4 it was coming up with the ridiulous Isobelle character/stones storyline. They actually put Lana in the mythology. Then in S5 they resurrected the Clana relationship. They had the perfect set up for development and forshadowing with the FOS, and instead they put Clark and Lana back together. Then after an endless amount of back and forth, breaking up/getting back together, they move onto in S6 with Lex and Lana together, hence the Clexana triangle.
I think the reason why they have failed with the writing/development of Clark and Lex, and it seems so poorly done, is because they don't have their priorities straight. On the S4 DVD when writers were interviewed about their favorite character to write, all of them said Lana. Now in a show that is supposed to focus on Clark and his development, isn't there something wrong with that?
I personally don't like Lois on the show (she was great in the first four eps of S4), but I really don't like her. I also don't care for the JLA stuff either, because too much stuff from Clark's future is making it into his present.
S5 - the rest of the show should have focused on developing Clark/Lex - journalism, training with Jor-El, Lex becoming more obsessed power, the murder of Lionel, the development of Lexcorp, and overall showing how their different personalities continued to pull them apart.
It takes time to effectively develop your chraracters on a show, and if you spend too much time on side plots like their lovelifes, any development we will get, will be rushed and lacking of development overall. We are in S6, and the show is still using the same tired formula - Clark is Lana obsessed and hates himself. The only twist now, is that they managed to take the one guy in Smallville who shouldn't of been into Lana, and added him to the list of guys who are Lana obsessed.

Is Lana the skinniest 'pregnant woman' of all time?

No. Actually, there are a number of people who go full term and others do not know. Not every pregnant woman has to gain 20+ pounds.

I rated this episode an 8. It was really GOOD because of the performances. The cast delivered expertly, as usual, more often than not. It was an overused story plot, but the added twist being that Lana now seems to be getting closer to learning Clark's secret made it an important overall story-arc boost. IMHO, "Trespass" moves Clark's & Lana's story along more to where it should be at this point. It gives this 'stalker' story a point, especially since it shows that Lana is willing to put her life in danger to protect Clark's secret...eventhough she doesn't know exactly what IT is. I found Clark's reactions through this stepping-stone story to be quite interesting. Although he doesn't Admit anything to Lana, he seems to be willing to allow her to continue to discover things on her own. So, he seems to be trusting her more. Before this episode aired, on the CW website, there was a Director's Cut that showed the closing scene in Clark's barn with Lex. It also showed that Clark had that suspiciously 'bent' chisel back in his posession, but that scene was edited out. The episode only showed Lana Looking for the MISSING scarf with Chisel that she'd kept in her vanity drawer, wondering who had taken it...probably thinking it was Lex. So yes, this half of the 6th Season is proving to continue its progression of better & better stories. TRESPASS was a nice addition to this season's roster. :) Additionally, I NEVER rate an episode until AFTER I've viewed it. Otherwise, it would be a totally UNFAIR assessment. :D Well, I'm still having fun! :D

@vyperman7
I wholly agree with what you are saying. Just as everything feels like it is about to move on, Clark sees Lana and everything that just happened gets forgotten.
As you say the start of season 5 with the fortress being built and the hint about training was brilliant. Then Clark returns to Smallville, rescues Lana and forgets EVERYTHING that Jor-El has just warned him about! Absolutely frustrating. Lana served her purpose in the school. She doesn't now and the plot lines to keep her in are just FAR too contrived!
I do still enjoy the series but Lana is just grating on my nerves now. I have nothing against Kirstin but please be done with the Lana thing and move on.

I love this episode. It had a twist and they brought back Lana's crystal. Absolutely awesome.

Okay, I was excited about this epi because it originally aired on my b-day, but for the most part it was a snoozer. :mad:
I liked the progression of lana's knowing more about CK but for the most part it did NOT grab my attention, and i spent more time on the computer or reading than I did watching the show. definitely an epi that i'll watch one time when I get the dvd's and probably skip... a lot.

Just watched this in the UK and I thought the episode was horrendous. I have enjoyed all of season six so far but this episode was a total joke. Once again Lana is the centre of attention. Al Gough is dipstick if he thinks that Lana is the reason people watch Smallville.

Great episode! Lana's change from being a good friend to snooping around Clarks stuff was different, but in 'Freak' you can tell that see will keep Clarks secret! Great!

I like this episode. Lane being stalked...again, but the exciting twist is that she's getting closer to learn about Clark's secret. I loved the scene when she was in Clark's bedroom going through his drawers, finds an old picture of her & her necklace in a box. She's so surprised to see it again & that it's white... :D

When is Clark ever going to give the crystal back to her?? In season 3, in the episode called Hereafter, a meteor freak forsees lana dying as a very old woman wearing still wearing the necklace. I wonder when she'll get it back...
