Lana and Lex.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Why didn't she just shoot him?

[melbow]

uu because she is ugly?!

[SecretzNLyz15]

^^Get a life.


The fact that Lana couldn't shoot Lex is proof that even after ALL the horrid things that Lex has done to her, she's not a murderer. She can't pull the trigger no matter how much she'd like to. That also proves that Lana will never become 'dark and evil'.

[mctor]

^^I agree

[Honey45]

Is it just me? I could have sworn she pulled the trigger, there were just no bullets!

After she pulled the trigger (or so it looked like to me), Lex looked at the gun. I know he looked at the gun. It looked like he was checking the empty bullet-sections (sorry for improper terms).

Even so, I think it's because Lana's not a murderer, the same point someone else made above. She didn't put bullets in the gun. She had no intentions of killing Lex, just scaring him away.

[aqgalaxy]

I saw the scene, and she pulls on the trigger, she looks a little stunned that nothing happened... he check if it was loaded and it wasn't He made that face he made when Lana said they can use the money for good things back in Sub

Yep.

Lana has a conscience and she knows if she killed Lex there's no coming back from that.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Maybe deep down there's a part of her that will always love him. And that's the part that stopped her from killing him.

[clanafanforever]

I thought that when lex took the gun he put in into safe.

[Merlindamage]

I highly disagree with the people who say Lana wont become all "dark and evil". There are different breeds of evil.

Lex has barely killed anyone himself, yet he is evil. Lana does have a conscience, but at the same time, there are other ways for her to make Lex's life a living hell besides ending his life.

[SmallvilleMan]

Lex has barerly killed anyone? Huh? Lex has a pretty big body count. Not to mention all the murders he was probably responsible for and all the lives he used. Nothing Lana has ever done has been close to evil and by that scene alone, I'm now sure all this evil crap about Lana is done.

[tfkfan44]

um lex killed the doctor with his bare hands in "Promise".

She can't love him anymore, he is a monster.
She did love him but after what he did to her she can't love him anymore.
The part that stop her from killing him IMO is that she isn't a murderess.

[smallvillian141]

I agree, It goes to show lana is not a murderer.
Same way with clark, he could literally hate somone but would never be able to kill anyone.

[Heroes4Hire]

Lana is not murderer but she can still torture Lex and cause havoc for the Luthors lives and that can be evil.

[SmallvilleMan]

Torture Lex? hahhaha, how can she do that? With what connections? She could have destroyed Lex emotionally already and didn't do it. Remember, Lana is just a person with no connections........well, besides, the one with all the powers;)

Whatever feeling Lana had for Lex died when she found out he basically violated her body not only by faking a pregnancy but by cloning her!

He's sick and twisted.

What stopped Lana is her conscience.

[Wildfire]

Oy come one guys, Lana well shes nuts and I could see her wanting to kill him but really if she did shoot at him I'm sure she was well within her rights. I mean after all she went through with him and I am not trying to to give her an out but after what he did I would shot the son of a fun myself. Emotional torture like the whole Lexana baby debocle would fit into justifyable homicde IMO.

But hey maybe I'm crazy but I think Lex might have pushed it too far.

[Saber]

I think she didn’t pull the trigger because that wasn’t the real Lana. IMO it was her clone and that’s why he was looking for model 503. To make sure that she succeeded with his plan. To make her believe she is the real Lana and convince her to come back to Smallville. That long winded speech was not Luthor like and I doubt he would let anyone put him in check unless he had a counter move to win.
I am hoping Lex is playing this kind of sinister game because if he isn’t they have reduce him to a wuss. Evil shouldn’t have a heart not even for a woman, IMO.

[paolinki25]

Lana was just playing dangerous, and of course, AlMiles have to add the unnecessary Clexana tension somehow in every scene.

[LKent113]

I just can't see Lex backing off and letting Lana just get away with what she did to him, no matter how brilliant it was. If anything, he is biding his time. He is focused on other things at the moment (kara of course) but I think Lex knows that if he backs off Lana, she would return to Smallville and in time he can cash in on that revenge. He is never gunna stand to see Clark and Lana together again, since he was the one that broke them up the previous time. Lex is a schemer and he knows how to work an angle. The scene was well played out on both parts. and the other part...Lana is not a murderer and thats why she can't kill Lex, even though after everything he did to her she could have done it. She struggled for a minute there but she knew there would be no turning back from that and she doesnt have it in her to kill someone....and Genevieve teague was killed by Isobel not Lana, Lana knows there is a line and even though she was on the edge of it, she doesnt cross it.

Eh I feel like if she did shoot him she was well within the legal right. I do think the Teague will come up as some sort of dirty play by Lex. I mean it is just his style, plus its a loose end that needs to be tied up.

Its not about really that she did it or Isobel did it, its the fact that its something Lex can use to get what he wants. And depending on how bitter he is when it comes divorce time he could be something later he could play to trash Lana. It would be the biggest mistake if the writers didnt have Lex use it agiasnt her down the line.

Im not coming off this as anti Lana I am comming off of it as a writer pure and simple. And to be I can see it being used.

[Tomsgurl88]

LOVED the scene, made me feel for both of them.

[SecretzNLyz15]

I don't think it'll be a divorce, but rather, an annulment.

[paolinki25]

Can they have an annulment at this point? I'm not sure how the law works about that.

[Wildfire]

The only way now days they give annulments is if its just after the divorce and there has been no sex. Plus does anyone really see Lex letting her out that easily. He killed to get her and sorry the Im going to face up to my crimes and right the past bs is going to die quickly now that she is back.

In the end wheather Lex loves her or not shes still in his mind "HIS POSSESION" is stamped all over Miss Lang. I just dont see him letting her run back to Clark that easy. I mean it IS Lex Luthor.

[msleggie]

I loved that scene too! And I'm happy Lana didn't shoot Lex, b/c that shows that she's not all that evil.

[Alexander III]

Awww Lana still loves him, she doesn't wanna shoot him to death...juz kidding....I know she hates him like mad!

[SecretzNLyz15]

Lexana didn't have sex after the marriage and Lex told Lana that he'll give her whatever she wants and she can live her life anyway she wants. That means annulment.

[Shardz]

lex took the gun in hopes of retracting human dna on the gun and clone himself another lana for all those lonely nights in the mansion

[SecretzNLyz15]

No he didn't. He put the gun on a shelf while walking out of the room.

[Crispin Glover]

This scene was the best acted this episode, and in a long while. Both Kristin and Michael should be commended.

[Tomsgurl88]

^^Definitely, i was really impressed by both of their performances.

[CLanaF23]

she didn't kill lex because its just not in her..shes a good person and not a killer..shes just been through soo much and she still has a good conscience.. i luv lana <3

[svtwamedfan05]

My question why didn't he just shoot her. After all can't get convicted twice for killing a dead woman

For the record Lana did not pull the trigger. Her finger twitched but she never pulled it.

[SecretzNLyz15]

I think the gun was on safety. Lana never had the intention of pulling that trigger.

[ginnyfan]

I'm glad she couldn't shoot him. I like that it got right to the moment of completion... and she couldn't do it. And I liked Lex' reaction. It was like he was speaking with his eyes.

I liked it. She's not a murderer. I think she's done with the Luthor's and Lex has finally let something go.

Curiouser and Curiouser...

[boingo]

I really loved the Lex and Lana scene...I was completely taken by surprise when Lana turned around with a gun in her hand expecting Lex....Both MR and KK did a great job....I am also glad Lana wasn't able to go through with it *sigh of relief* Really liked how they presented all of the flashbacks of how Lana faked her death.

GREAT SCENE!

[Serynarpc]

Lana was a truly amazing in this scene. I'm normally not a Lana fan- I grew tire of the Lana- obsession and how she gained a new stalker every other episode- but bravo.

She got Lex good. A man like him, just being embarrassed does wonders.

Although her finger pulled the trigger. It seemed she either left the safety on or forgot to load the gun. You can clearly see her finger compressing the trigger:

3:01 - 3:03

[SaberFireTiger]

I don't think she ever intended to kill him. I think it was on safety meaning a) she is a good person and can't kill anyone or b) she still has some feelings for him. Maybe a little of both cause I don't think you can just forget that "love" you professed back in the first half of season six.

It looks like Lex still loves her. He doesn't want her dead.
