A Luthor through and through?: Does Lana remind you of Lex?

[CountryGirl84]

Does anyone else feel like the Lana scenes have a dirty slimy feel to them? Every time I see Lana all nicey nice I feel like we're watching a character clone of Lex. Its that same kind of feeling that at any moment she's actually going to double cross you...




P.S. This is not an I hate OR love Clana/Lana thread. I just want to talk about whats going on in the show and both sides are welcome to contribute in a mature manner.

[SecretzNLyz15]

Nope. I get an 'Angel of Vengeance' vibe from her. She's out for justice, but it's going to come out as revenge. AND she's only out for the Luthors.

[CountryGirl84]

Hmmm interesting. If its only about vengeance though, why is she lying to Clark about it? Something just seems fishy to me.

[heavens_cry]

Yeah there is something there, I think she still has the hots for lex though..

Once you had a luthor you never go back... You know they have all those pent up feelings they just let it all lose in the Bedroom.. lol..

[Alexander III]

Lana scares me...

:lol: ...well seriously Lex is pretty hot....

kidding aside though, i really hope they ARE going in that direction. It would make a LOT of sense. She went to the dark side of the force a little while she was holed up in the mansion. And what is she most mad about? The faked pregnancy thing, which I don't even feel like we got a real confession from Lex for. I mean he apologized to Lana for everything when he came to find her but it could be that he knew she wasn't going to listen to a "I didn't do it" and just really did want her back so just stuck to a straight apology...

[heavens_cry]

I agree with you CG84.. I also think it would be good if they went that route. I also think she is using clark to make lex jealous.. She should go back with Lex. I really like her and her character alot when she is with Lex.

[Honey45]

Only when they slick her hair back like that.
Somehow, in the morning, it's very soft and light brown.
Then when she's spying on Lex, it's all greasy and black.

She had attitude with Lex. She wasn't that whiny little girl that never got her way.

[CountryGirl84]

yeah I thought it gave her so much depth and she was so much more interesting with Lex. With Clark she's so.... boring.

[paolinki25]

I noticed some Luthor tendencies there, but I think she's gonna use her inner Luthor to get her revenge in a very dark way. It's kind of ironic, when you think about. She will be acting like a true Lex Luthor wife would do without even noticing it.

[SecretzNLyz15]

No, I don't want Lana with Lex. He's a bastard. Yeah Lana showed more emotion because she had a reason to. She's always suspicious and cautious. She was pissed a lot too.

[BenSjamin]

I get the vibe that Clana will not last. I get the vibe that she will keep secrets from him. He is against Lex but I doubt he would spy on his every move.

Either way, I think Clark will find out one day and realize a relationship is just not possible.

Or not, whatever.

[CountryGirl84]

I wonder if Lana would behave that way if she knew it meant her being perceived as the "model Luthor wife"? :rotfl:

It's very ironic. Maybe this is part of the "reversals" Gough keeps talking about. She's not a Luthor wife anymore, but she's acting like one.

[CountryGirl84]

hmmmm.... are these "reversals" some kind of literary plot device they learned in highschool? :lol: Just sounds very contrived when you put it that way. Oh the writers on smallville.... so many plot holes each episode has a thread automatically devoted to it before the ep has even aired.

:lol: Well, they have a pretty weird meaning of the word "reversals". It's like they have their own Oxford (the messed up version) Dictionary.

[CountryGirl84]

OMG:eek:
*smacks head on forehead* It all makes sense! I don't know why I didn't see it before. Messed up version of the Oxford dictionary would totally explain the writing on smallville!!

"Hey, what's the definition of a romantic relationship again?"

"Well just let me look it up.... ok 'an interaction between three people (or more) that involves lies, manipulation and usually results in in frustrated viewers. See definition of triangle for further clarification."

I understand about the "wanting to get revenge" part. But you have got to appreciate the great irony that she's using Lex's (& Lionel's) trademark methods to get her revenge (e.g. secret surveillance, lying to loved ones ). That's why people are reminded of Lex when they watch Lana doing these things. All that's missing of is for Lana to say "I did it because I loved you" :\

Well Lana did learn from the best. Now the question is: will the student best the teacher? Or is Lex on to Lana afterall?

[Guidron]

There's definitely something fishy going on with Lana. She's making all sorts of plans behind the scenes and putting on a nicey nicey front for Clark. Much like Lex used to do.

There was also something in the way she looked at Lex through the surveillance camera's that made me think there was still some flame there. However, I couldn't tell if it was from love or the desire for revenge.

[CountryGirl84]

I also wasn't entirely sure how to take the Lana staring at Lex scene. I started a thread asking if people thought it was the beginning of Lexana again. I'm not sure if its the beginning of Lexana or not, but I think it may be the end of Clana.
Whatever is going on i think its interesting so far. I think whether it stays that way depends on how long they draw this out for, especially if the relationship between Clark and Lana is fake as I'm suspecting (at least on Lana's part, I think Clark thinks they're giving it a real go but I'm not sure Lana truly is)

I got a vibe too, but I don't know yet what it is. I definitely think, at the very least, she's a bit obsessed with Lex. But there are a lot of avenues here...she could just be spying on him to find out what he is up to. To protect herself, or Clark. And I'm not saying that's good, but that really could be her twisted logic. I got a really interesting vibe between Lexana when he was first asking about Clark's cousin. I saw a look from Lana that to me said, "Oh no, Lex cannot find out about Kara" and I saw a look from Lex that said that he knew Lana was lying to him about her being from Minnesota. There is a possibility that she is spying on Lex to find out what he's working on. It seems like she was already spying on him in Offscreensville last season, since she found out about the clone.

I'd be surprised if there was some ulterior motive like she wants power for hersellf or something. I think it's more about revenge, or thinking that Lex is dangerous and shouldn't be left to his own devices without keeping tabs on him. She's almost filling Lionel's role at this point.

[CountryGirl84]

Interesting stuff there ClarksGal, especially the part about her filling Lionel's role. Where the heck is he by the way and when is he coming back?
My only questions is why is she not being honest with Clark. She's a strong person now, it takes a strong person to get away from Lex, she's proven that. I can't see her being worried that Clark is going to try to sway her from her plans. He is hardly Lex's best friend..... If its just revenge, what motive does she have to be so secretive?

Since Lex did so much research into the Kent family, he probably does know that there is no such person as "Kara Kent."

Yes it leaves me kinda quesy. It's that same two-faced/double-sided nature that Lex has. I was watching the episode and the happy homemaker facade she was putting out and saw the REAL Lana in the Barn and in that wierd cubbyhole she's built for herself.

[Coyote]

Lana thinks she wants revenge now, but in the end she'll probably get back together with Lex.

[SecretzNLyz15]

NOT going to happen.

[Coyote]

She won't stay with Clark.

[ginnyfan]

Lana has learned a very scary lesson from Lex. She believes that the ends justify the means.

That's where corruption begins. Doing evil for a "good reason."

[euterpe]

I’m sorry but Lana is just going a little overboard. Becoming what you supposedly despise in order to defeat it is hypocritical at best, evil at worst. As the old saying goes “Two wrongs do not make a right”.

Exactly what did Lex do to Lana except drug her into believing she was pregnant and then let her believe she lost the baby? Now I am in no way condoning what Lex did or trying do diminish its inherent deviousness, but it seems to pale in comparison to what Lana has done in retaliation since discovering the truth.

She almost let him die when she knew he was trapped in those underground tunnels. She stole $10 million from Lex. She stole classified information and property from him. Incriminating info or not it was still stealing, especially since we didn’t see her going straight to the police with it. She planned her own fake death planting evidence to incriminate Lex. We can only assume that she expected him to spend the rest of his life in jail for a murder he did not commit. Ironic, since apparently she held evidence of real deaths for which he could be held responsible. And then upon learning of his release from jail, she dropped the “bread crumbs” to lead him to her, just so she could kill Lex with her own two hands. And apparently all that was just a prelude to her currently ongoing machinations…

All of that because of one faked pregnancy and miscarriage? Again not to belittle Lana’s suffering because of that, but at least Lex performed those nefarious deeds out of his twisted idea of love and desperation not to lose her. What’s her excuse? I have known several people who have suffered miscarriages, even one who thought she had miscarried only to discover she had never really been pregnant and they have all gone on to lead normal, happy, healthy lives. Granted their significant others didn’t trick them, but still me thinks Lana doth protest too much. Lana needs to “get thee to an [asylum]”.

Interestingly enough, Lex has shown a greater compassion and forgiving nature than Lana, considering that he could have killed her for real in China and gotten away it with just as easily as she could have killed him or had her put away for life for crimes she has truly committed (including murder). Perhaps he will lord those over her later. It’s not outside the realm of possibility for Lex, but it hasn’t happened yet.

[CLanaF23]

umm no! i think shes genuine its just she wants revenge on lex and she noes if she tells clark hell think its wrong and wanna stop her..she hates lex andlex really did mess up her head but i think the real her is in there..she just gotta get passed wat she went through wit lex..like let it go..dont forget it but work through it...

[kryptonaidxh]

:rolleyes: Yes, that too.
but she already was an evil witch, under her inocent face she´s really evil.:D

[uhhuhhim]

Oh, I thought she was a vampire...:D Oh, wait...That episode was so bad...Nevermind.
