Watching this is actually making me depressed

[chloefan5]

I feel bad for Lana for the third time ever (1. Pole through hand, 2. kissed by red-K Clark.)

[jimmyolsenblues]

she had plenty of time to back out of this marriage way before this day.

[Uffr]

but no reason to.

I totally agree that this is too depressing. Clark needed to show Lana him flying away when she was in the limo.

This episode was really similar to a Shakespearean play. The two lovers wanting to be together but then there is some unforseen threat. Lana marrying Lex to protect Clark from Lionel that seems similar to alot of the tragedies. Like in Romeo and Juliet when when he thinks she's dead, not knowing the whole pretend death arrangement, and kills himself. It's also kind of similar to part of a Shakespearean comedy Much Ado about Nothing when Claudio is lead to believe that Hero was unfaithful and refuses to marry, not knowing the evil Don John was behind the whole thing. But because it's a comedy it works out in the end, but that part could've made it a tragedy.
I really liked how they pulled this episode together. It wasn't at all what I thought it would be. It was a very sad episode but very well done. I haven't felt as sad since Memoria. It's funny how Lana is pretending not to be in love with Clark for his protection, in the same way that he broke up with her pretending he wasn't in love with her, for her protection.

NO, Lana asked for this, treated Clark terribly from day one and was nasty and cruel to him alnost all the time. You do recall her saying things like, "I don't know how I ever could have loved you!" ANd, Lex, I love you and I want to marry you," do you not?

Coupled with the fact that she has lied to learn Clark's secret, tried to invade Chloe's computer files, was seen sneaking aroun the farm to snoop and in Promise, endangered her best friend CHloe by locking her nin a refrigerated wine cellar so she could watch what happens when Clark comes to her rescue, I think she was revealed as the worst person ever on this show and she should be castigated and exposed as such not made to seem like a martyr. She didn't have the guts to tell Lex to his face and that's disgusting. SHe has no morality and cares nothing for anyone but herself. She is in no way worthy of Clark's love and this episode proved it. SHe made her own bed and willingly slept in it, never minding all those trips to Paris to shop or the fancy dinners and the money.

And it made the hero look like a vilian and homewrecker. Heroes should have some morality and ot be involved with a girl who is promised to another man. This ep trashed the hero and everyone else and made Lex, of all people, sympathetic. Al Gough is a moron for bringing this crap to the screen.
