"You may be putting someone at risk who saves lives practically on a daily basis"

[SVSpector]

She seems to be putting together all the times he has saved her life and many of her friends. This Lana will finally figure it out!!

[princesslaya]

I thought that was one of the best lines I've ever heard Lana say!!.....she is finally becoming aware of what is right in front her & she is gonna take huge risks to protect that person which we all know is Clark!!!....I have been waiting for her character to transform into what we seen on this episode.......Lana may even go to lenghts like marrying Lex to protect Clark......

[xrayvision]

I don't think she will go that far, at least not without divorcing him not far after. But I was very happy to hear that line.

[jimmyolsenblues]

I was really surprised she that, showing acknowledgment for what clark does.
I was also surprised at the moment lana said that, I just didn't hate lana as much. Scary!

[SteveS]

Lana is not a dim bulb.

[lana&Clark4ever]

lana is da bomb diggity

[SVSpector]

What I believe now is she truly knows Clark is a really good guy.....that his super lying ability was for her safety from Lex.

The smile she gave him when she said if it had been true that he was infected he would still be the same Clark told me she is falling hard and heavy for him again.....at this point she will do anything to protect her hero.....even marry Lex.

[SmallvilleMan]

After Clark caught Lana, was when she hit it hard for him again. It's just a question of when she acts on them, probably toward the end of the season.

[BadToad]

That was a good line from Lana. One of my biggest beefs with Lana last season was that she seemed to forget how many times Clark had saved her, or saved someone she knew, so easily. Yes, I can understand her being hurt and upset over the break-up, but I just don't believe you can forget someone who has saved your life over and over. I was so glad to see a little clarity and wisdom come back to Lana.

Very true....Every Character is in deep debt to Clark for him saving their lives.

[cloisinmyheart]

EXCELLENT line lana. shes earned a lot of respect to me

its nice to know clark is finally being understood and not just known by a lying, horrible boyfriend who always has issues

[svsabbiesv]

this was such a powerful line! included with the line to clark, even if you were infected my meteors it wouldn't change you you would be the same clark kent....something along the lines..but always reminds me of what if Clark did tell her about where he's from and when..but I think Lana would say something like my parents would have wanted me to be saved by you or something sappy lol

[hassenmorad]

What's most pleasing about Lana saying this is that this is the first time in 6 seasons that she's actually come to realize Clark's true hero-like nature. It's sooo satisfying for her to begin unraveling the truth.

Maybe in this one,but you have to admit in some epis. the lights are on but no ones home........

[freefall]

I'm very glad to hear something like that from Lana herself. Good for her.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Yeah, Lana seemed to know more than usual.

[LoisL]

This line was interesting continuity from last week's episode. :D She remembered that Clark had just saved her life twice!

I am just so extremely glad that Lana is beginning to piece things together in a fairly intelligent way. She was easily my #1 hated/boring character at the start of this season but she's getting to be the most exciting w/her present quest to discover & protect Clark's secret. :)

[madCoder]

Well, there are two mythos, the golden age and the silver age. In one, Pete Ross knows Clark's secret and no one else. In the other, Lana Lang knows his secret, but Pete doesn't. Lex tortures Lana to get information from her (she doesn't say anything) and she marries Pete, but Pete doesn't know about Clark, and doesn't know that Lana knows anything.

Neither of those include Lana being involved with Lex, but I assume that's a twist to the post-Crisis Lana, having her married to Lex instead of Pete. The idea is the same though: She wants to stay close to Lex in order to protect Superman's identity, just like she stayed with Pete even when he became Luthor's Vice President, and never mentioned Lex's torturing to Pete, in order to keep Pete from getting suspicious about Clark.



I like the fact that she's piecing it together. Can't wait to see what becomes of that - I'd like to see her knowing about his abilities, but there's no way I can think of that she'd find out about his alien heritage on her own. It would be interesting if he told her, but because Chloe is his current confidante, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. I think she's just going to keep her suspicions, and keep Lex off his trail. Then post-Smallville when Superman appears, she's going to put it together and realize that he wasn't lying about being infected by Kryptonite, but is actually an alien. Yeah, talk about weird @_@

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

All I can say is that its about FREAKING TIME !!!!!!!

[emsfan]

To all you guys... im so happy to hear positive thoughts about lana because you all know i really like her. I know... she's not perfect. She has made many mistakes but I know time will come when she will make the right choice and decision. whether they get back together or not... especially when it comes to Clark. And so I can't wait for the next episode!!!! :)

I think she's a much better character in the past few eps. and as much as i hate to say it, i think it started in that scene in the talon at the end of labrinth.

Same here! :) I was just so glad to see normal Lana again after that creep Lana in the dreamland, plus she acted pleasantly towards Clark during their meeting.

[Peat Moss]

This is another example of the writers trying to get us to like Lana. I know people can change, but she's said before that all meteor freaks are evil, and all aliens freak her out. There's been no indication or reason for her to change, except that the writers want it to make sense when she doesn't get mad finding out. It's completely out of character for her. I wish they would just get rid of her before they continue to embarress themselves. She's done too much evil to become the good girl they want her to be. I'm not saying she can't be forgiven, but it's just out of character for her to suddenly be so good.

Hey, kudos! She's definitely getting interesting and more likable. I really hope this continues through to the end of the season. It is much more funner liking the characters on your favorite show than not. :D

[meteor_phreak]

maybe the real lana got kidnapped by the teagues in paris, or offscreenville, france. then the teagues died, so they couldn't release her. she finally broke free, and just got back to america.

Her changed feelings re: freaks is directly tied to her strong current belief that Clark is one. She still loves him. And she is beginning to respect him again. (he saved her life twice in Trespass right before her eyes)

I'm not saying she can't be forgiven, but it's just out of character for her to suddenly be so good. we also have established in reckoning that she could learn to live with it, i.e. the conversation with lois. is it that hard to believe that like chloe did over the course of a few eps, lana is just getting used to the fact that what she assumed before was wrong? I'm all for bashing the lana of the last 2.5 seasons, but if they are fixing her characterization, i'm not gonna bash that too...

[hedi sweet thighs]

I am so happy that they are finally showing Lana true side she is going to be Clark best friends she feels bad abiut how their relationship ended than she started dating someone that use to be close to Clark than betrayed him later.She realize that clark is different and special.I thought she was sgoing to show that bullet to Lex but i am glad she confronted it to Clark i love the qoute she she told him that "He would always be the same Clark no matter what"

Despite Lana still loving Clark, it is going to be too late to confess it ,his heart is swaying away to Lois.He still loves Lana but he would not compromise her safety so he will eventually let go of her.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

At times Lana remindes me of one of those people that are rascist but defend themselves with the "some of my best friends are *insert given race here* "

She seems to be ok with things being done, like 33.1, to meteor infected people, as long as they are not someone she knows/likes.

Not sure where they are going with her, perhaps with Chloe being infected it will somehow "humanize" things for Lana in regards to that, but in regards to kryptonians...I don't know, though I am sure that she will be ok and understand Clark's situation.

IF the Lana that finds out is this episodes Lana, it it is the Lana from other episodes, who knows what she may do.

Lana is in the rare position where she could actually piece the whole story herself if the writers let her.

She met Kryptonian aliens in Arrival. She heard Lionel speak of their weakness (meteor rocks).

She's seen a spaceship before so I think her mind could be open to the intergalactic traveller thing.

Mostly though, I think she could realistically figure things out further if she sees Clark react to meteor rock in front of her.

[meteor_phreak]

yeah, i agree with that. i never really thought about how unique her position is. she's been around for most of it. including all the Red-K eps. and she usually doesnt get her mind wiped like everyone else does...

[superpal1]

Best Lana line ever. At the end, when she said that even if he was meteor affected, he would still be the same Clark, damn, you could see the saddness in Clark for not trusting her before.

Yeah, kind of like once Lana accepts who Clark is, then he will be able to accept it.

Appeared like the sprouting of friendship. It'll be nice when Clark can be himself and feel good about it, and I think Lana's gonna be pivotal in that regard.

I hope he realizes that perhaps before, Lana would not have been as ready and able to accept him as she is now. His is a grown up kind of secret, and it appears that Lana has grown, and is now ready and capable of reacting with maturity. That "secrets and lies" stuff she was so obsessed with seems to have given way to unconditional acceptance. Not that she isn't still curious, mind you. And this is a good thing, I think.

I think the show is pointing out that she is starting to see how each of them uses this power, like Lex and his money or influence, and that gives her a frame of reference to see that clark is unassuming and heroic.

Well said! So much of Clark's previous angst re: his heritage has been due to fear of being rejected by Lana. He has always wanted to seem normal in her eyes. yet this way, he is special in her eyes and I think that will help him embrace his identity so much. :)

I mean, who's left to make him hate his alienhood? Most of those close to him know now and support him.

She is growing up! Lana is actually beginning to take an active interest in the people around her, in how they tick and on how they are living in the world outside of just how they are treating her in a relationship.

I'm not saying that her character was shallow in the earlier seasons per se, just that she has been a very inward-looking character (much like Clark has been) for most of her life.

It's not about manipulating us to like Lana. It was a twist on the storyline for Lana to be such an evil character for so long, but at some point she had to become a good person again, & she has to know & protect Clark's secret. It was a sudden change, but people change suddenly sometimes, & it seems like everything that happened finally clicked. She's realizing that she can't trust Lex, & that Clark kept his power a secret for a good reason. Clark not being a meteor freak has her confused for the moment, but she's going to figure it out soon-- maybe keeping Clark's secret is going to be her "Promise". Eh, Eh?

[wallyK]

This was awful writing. Lana did a 180. She was not fond of meteor freaks before, and now she is an advocate of them. She is very sure now that Clark has superpowers. That is pretty much out of the blue. They have not shown how she came to this conclusion. Seeing the bent tool in "Crimson" was enough to make her suspicious, but that's all.

I would actually call it tight writing. The pacing has really stepped up. You would have to actually have been paying attention to the events in Crimson and Trespass to understand the events in tonight's episode. I'm grateful for the building excitement.

I agree, the writing his been tight and strong in the past several episodes since the break....cudos abound!!!

[margroks]

Lana is not a person who accepts people who are different. This is Lana manipulating people for her own gain and to prevent trouble spilling onto her life and her, ahem, child. She went to Tobias and tried to pump him for info on Clark! She's trying to get ifo on Clark nott protect him in the long run. Even the writers have commented that Reckoning was a retcon of Lana's character; she isn't miss acceptance. That is Chloe not Lana. Lana just wants what's best for Lana.

[wallyK]

I assume you are referring to Trespass where Clark found out that Lana has been hanging out around his barn. For me, that is not enough to show that Lana knows much about Clark. Yes, she could know, but we have not yet been shown that she has reasoned through all the evidence. In this show, you cannot assume that a character DOES KNOW something just because there is enough evidence that they COULD KNOW. Because, Lana could have figured it out a long time. If she was really putting it together, she would test her hunches by punching Clark in the stomach, and finding a man of steel. But she doesn't even do that.

:rolleyes: That's completely off.....You watch a different show than I watch or a different Smallville.......Lana's accepted more than one person for being different.

In trespass, the important stuff wasn't finding out that lana was around his barn. it was stuff like him appearing out of nowhere and catching her after that much of a fall. nobody normal could do that. nobody normal could bend that tool. she was shown to know, because she asked him "how did you..." clark dodged the question, but she's been shown in recent eps to not forget so easily. i thought this was good writing.

[Dor el]

An abrupt change in the Lana character? Perhaps, but we should remember that she has been going through some pretty heavy stuff lately. She was dismissed by Clark. She was comforted by Lex. That in and of itself should cause Lana to take pause. She saw Lexod up close and personal and all the havoc (remember the spike through her hand.). She is with child (maybe), and she is newly engaged to a man who she is seeing may not be the man she thought he was. Or not. He may be exactly the man she thought he was but not the man she wanted him to be. I, too, think that Lana's trust of Lex is waning if it was ever there in a big and lasting way.

Lana started out in season as a nice, albeit shallow, person. St Francis of Assisi said raise up a child to be a certain way and even though that child may stray from what he was brought up to be, that child will return. Maybe Lana is regaining her nice person footing. Maybe this isn't a 180, but rather a coming home so to speak. Maybe. nice Lana is the real Lana, and nasty Lana was her way of dealing with the Clark rejection and his unwillingness to confide in her. Maybe, nasty Lana was the real 180, and now she is going back to her roots. Maybe, nasty Lana was her way of getting close to Lex to use him for her own purposes. So many maybes; my head is spinning.

As far as Lana's realization that Clark is DIFFERENT, I am not so sure that that is out of the blue. She has had way more than enough hints that Clark is SPECIAL. And lately, with the way Clark has been so open with the use of his powers, I don't see it as such an unbelievable feat for Lana to realize that Clark is SUPER. When you heat water, at some point enough energy is present to tip the scale from not boiling to boiling. Maybe the things Lana has seen lately was just enough to tip her mental faculties scale toward her conclusions about Clark and meteor freaks in general. She, for a brief while, thought Clark was a meteor freak and she knew that he was good. So it is not such an outlandish jump to believe that she could conclude that not all meteor freaks are bad and that many may need an advocate.

I am relieved that Lana may not be a bad person. I would hate to think that our future superhero is such a bad judge of character.

[SmallvilleMan]

Lana was never a bad person.....But she was at a point where she let her anger and spite control her to the point where her life took a bad turn.

Exactly, Lana's always been loyal to Clark. WAKE UP CLARK! Clark keeping his secrets is all just a waste of time.

I swear Clark is "Only Happy When It Rains..."

This better not happen

[Billy Jor-El]

I also loved that Lana DID fire the bullet. If Clark hadn't deflected it, she would have killed the "good" doctor.

As has been brought up before....Lana: cheerleader, coffee slinger, witch, ninja, murderess.....repeated murderess at that!

lol...i don't know but this season has been the best so far i doubt they'll screw it up. Something magical is happening this season....

I totally agree. In all these years I think this has been, over all, one of THE best seasons. Even my husband agreed with me last night, he has actually been watching this year. I think because a lot of the teenage angst is gone and it is being replaced with more adult attitudes and ideas about people you are close to and the world as a whole. I think having Green Arrow come in was one of the best moves the writers could have made because he is opening Clark up to other possibilities and kind of putting him on the path he ultimately follows.

Maybe not, but she behaved badly.

[nathanjamesk1]

on this note, i just had a funny thought...

what if Lana is playing Lex?!

they are playing each other, its funny

Lana knows that money is power ... her own quote...

so what if she is playing lex for his money, to protect who protects her?

[Peat Moss]

I still contend that it's not realistic that she changes so fast. But I'm starting to see that it's a good thing. Maybe they can finally redeem her character, as long as she doesn't relaspe again. I thought for a while that it was impossible to make Lana enjoyable unless she became fully evil, but maybe if they keep advancing the plot so blindingly fast, she can become a good person by the end. My initial reaction was disgust at this line, but I'm starting to realize that it has a place.



No matter how accepting Lana gets though, she'll never be as awesome as MJ in the end of Spidey 2. :) Maybe she'll come close eventually. We can hope.

[wallyK]

The writers have decided to advance the "Lana Learns About Clark" story quickly. They HAVE taken shortcuts. The story is underdeveloped IMHO. After seeing the bent chisel, she went from being confused to being rather sure. It was a lightswitch moment in my book. Clark's rescue in "Trespass" was like any other rescue where he appears out of nowhere and Lana is puzzled. The only solid piece of info Lana has about Clark is the wood chisel.

What's going on is that the writers are "tightening" story lines because they have too many going on. If the season was better planned, they could give the "Lana Learns About Clark" story the time it deserves. As a viewer, I want to know how Lana came to her realization about Clark.

[meteor_phreak]

she was rather sure before. she just always believed/ignored/looked past stuff before. i think they didn't have far to go to just say she's not looking past it anymore.

That was a good line from Lana. One of my biggest beefs with Lana last season was that she seemed to forget how many times Clark had saved her, or saved someone she knew, so easily. Yes, I can understand her being hurt and upset over the break-up, but I just don't believe you can forget someone who has saved your life over and over. I was so glad to see a little clarity and wisdom come back to Lana.

Everyone Clark knows and loves would be dead if it wasnt for Clark. Everyone in Smallville basically for that matter. What would they do without Clark :confused:

Well technically if the green meteor rock never came and brought clark along, they would still be the cream corn capital of the world! and Lex would have a gorgeous full head of red hair. or something like that.

While that line was very telling and very good, the only thing that really stood out to me about it was that she said a daily basis. And unless SV episodes happen one right after the other without any breaks in between, he doesn't save lives on a daily basis (more like a weekly basis. :p ). I realize that was not the point of the line and all but it just struck me. :rolleyes:

Who knows, even the small things as something falling and not hitting someone on the head, saves them. Clark probably saves people on screen and off screen. Hes an every day, every minute kind of hero. Theres always and will always be someone in need and hell be there for them to bring them happiness and save them from despair.
