So because she never lived with him it doesn't make sense for her to know what his favorite breakfast is?

She dated him most of season five and has known him for 7 years, has spent a lot time with him and even slept at his house.

I think it makes prefect sense for her and even for Chloe to know Clark's favorite meals are.

That being said, the scene did lack and it's not due to the actors just due to the scripting of the scene.

How can there be any spark when there's two different people in the scene with them messing with their mojo!

Things better shape up with Clana, because the writers are writing them so far as though they're an old married couple, rather then a couple who are gah-gah for each other as Kara stated!

Come to think of it, are they officially a couple? :confused:

The writers are doing great and I'll tell you why.

They are making the clana lovers happy by putting them under the same roof but they are not making it et nausea for the clana haters.

We have no idea if they sleep in the same bed and there's been no passionate kisses between them.

Even in cure all they showed was a peck on the check and a hug.

That's it folks. The scene between Clark and Chloe had more emotion than anything we've see so far this season between Clark and Lana and we thank the good Lord for that.:p

I think the lack of physicality between them is evidence for the audience that there is something wrong with the relationship. Its just not quite right on many levels. They don't even really talk to each other... all Lana has really said to Clark is "you're so great" repeatedly... I think Lana's playing him...

SecretzNLyz15

10-17-2007, 11:18 PM

Why would Lana play Clark? What does she get out of it?

I'm getting pissed with these Clana scenes. They've waited forever and a freakin day to be with each other and now that they are, they don't even act like a teenage couple. They act like the Kents...in the later years of the marriage. Where'd the honeymoon phase go?

I think there's a reason for this. Although they've been saying they're going to give them a "real shot", I think it'll have to do more with Clark and Lana both realizing it's just not going to work no matter how hard they try. Whatever innocence or magic there was between them is now gone.

I don't know what she's going to try to get out of it, but something is going on. Have you seen the ep yet? She lies to him several times in it and is quite distant and at the end she is watching Lex from some kind of secret room she has had set up. I can't think of any reason why she shouldn't be all over Clark unless something is going on with her. Something is fishy.

I'm betting right now, that MOST important scenes that actually mean something to the fans: Clana talk of past, Chlana reunion, etc, will be deleted scenes.

Its kind of hard to reconcile that Lana's been pissing and moaning about Clark keeping secrets for years, and now that she's finally got what she said she always wanted, and Clark is being completely open to her about his life, she's decided that she's going to start doing things behind his back and lying to his face. Not that she hasn't done this in the past, but then you could at least say it was even. But now? What the heck is wrong with this chick? And how much are they going to drag Clark through the mud to keep her blameless?

So much for that whole no angst, open, honest relationship people thought they might get :rolleyes: Its just the same song and dance from before, only this time with no justification at all, and a different character taking the lead. And somehow I doubt that Clark will ever be allowed to tear into Lana the way she always tore into him.

CountryGirl84

10-18-2007, 09:51 AM

no i can't see Clark tearing into her either BadToad. I think he'd be more likely to take it until he's ready to just walk away from her. Which means it will be a drawn out long thing of Clark putting up with frustrating crap.

You should have seen Clark's face when he questioned her about the 10 mil and her lying right to his face.

His passion for her has dampened that's for sure.

But you're right he'll only take so much and then be done with her.

Yeah its hard to have passion when the person is outright lying to your face and you know it. I think Clark knows, or at least suspects.... although he is pretty daft in this incarnation of CK... so maybe he doesn't know but relationships in real life work on undercurrents. You have to be connected on many levels for it to be running smoothly. Lana is detached from the intimacy by her lies.

I feel the only reason a lot of people wanted them together is because they are sexy and because they want to see them do the 'wild thing'? Why is that so important? Isn't it far more important for them to be in an honest loving relationship together rather then see them make out?

PASSION

Where did all that fire go?

They've been burning for 6 years. Now that they are finally together, without the desperation and longing, it makes sense for things to calm down.

Well, I think that passion was pretty much destroyed the minute Lana decided to start a relationship with Lex. Like I've said, Clana's mojo is just gone. Too late.

I don't see how their passion couldn't dampen, after all they've been through. At this point, they kind of are like a long-married couple. They've been raked over the coals and back. There is no way they can go back to that innocent fiery mysterious passionate thing they had going on before after evrything that's happened.

Exactly. Like I've said before, knowing about the secret was not going to make everything that happened magically disappear.

10-18-2007, 03:22 PM

Well Clana fans want them to rekindle their fire, that's all. Not only was there no real kiss, Lana's hiding and scheming something suspicious. I guess that's what Clark's done for the past 5 seasons, scheming and planning things in secret without Lana.. like Al said, reversals.. reversals..

I'm also pissed about the Clana scenes. Sure they're living together, but we don't even know if there's a couple or not.

I think the writers want to take this real shot with Clana so slowly, that everything just feels off because of it. Seriously though, I don't believe that after two people have been through what they've been through, that they'd take everything so SLOWLY and not kiss or anything.

And I can't say I'm happy about more secrets and lies. :mad: What happened to having at least a little bit of an angst free relationship? :(

I've been saying that for years. That's how a lot of Clana fans seem to look at relationship; nothing more than physical.

Like it's too fake or something? I'm really trying to get into it for the sake of enjoying the show, but I just can't. After tonight's episode all I can think of is wnating to see more conflict and see them break up. I say, either give us a good, loving reltionship, or let them just be friends. Don't keep us hanging in the weird, fake in between place.

Lana is playing both Clark and Lex, she has Lex's money and she thinks she has Clark's power, what ever she is up to, it must be nefarious, or she would tell Clark everything, the lack of passion between them, may be justifiable hesitation on Clark's part, in difference to her lost "baby", or out of respect to her recent marital experience with Lex, probably Clark does not know the whole story of Lana/Lex relationship, and his decency and compassion trumps any desire he may have for her. When he does learn the whole story of their sordid life together, he will not want to touch her without a NASA spacesuit on.

Lana's not the person Clark loved - she's changed too much - and she knows it. So she lies to Clark.

We saw last season in the "Normal Again" episode (okay, that wasn't the name but it was pretty close) that Clark's perfect version of Lana is a Stepford wife. That ain't Lana.

Clark is in equal parts happy, confused, clueless, between Lana coming back to him and his cousin Kara's arrival, the departure his mother to Wash. D. C. having defeated Bizzaro, and (he believes away, ) the phantom zoners, and the his acceptance of his destiny, all together is such a small period of time, would naturally throw him off balance for a short period of time. Lana may fool him for a while yet, they may even have a period of intimacy, but her, ( Lana's) agenda will supersede any lingering feelings that she has for Clark, Lex Luthor has done his dirty work, he has corrupted her through and through, and the Lana of today, ( if Lana she is ), is not he Lana that Clark was once in love with.

Lana will hang around the Kent farm for a few more episodes, but it will become more and more clear that she and Clark don't belong together anymore. Lana has a lot more chemistry with Lex. That's the real reason she's stalking him.

So, Lana can become a kidnapper, a killer or lier and Clark will love her? Our future Superman will fall madly in love with a woman like this? I'm sorry, but Lana is taking a path Clark can't simply follow, and I expect him to realize this.

I don't think it'll get that far. I'm sure Clark will pull her back. We still don't know if Lana is behind the kidnapping since Craig hasn't confirmed that. She hasn't killed anyone intentionally. Yes, she's a liar, but that's what the reversal is. First it was Clark, now it's Lana.

CDLBLUE

10-18-2007, 09:33 PM

In the scenes between Clark and Lana, they were all artificial and superficial, Lana's wearing white, making apple pie, being friends with Kara, making breakfast, they were all unreal, lacking in substance and genuine warmth, ( granted Lana has as much depth as she has virtue, honor or morality ), but still, it all seemed forced, as if it were a part of an elaborate charade, Lana's chimera, will no doubt be reveled as the season progresses, but as of now, she lying to and hurting Clark ,and in the end she may end up hurting and lying to herself.

So what is the freaking point if they never learn? If the relationship is an endless cycle of secrets and lies because these 2 can never manage to trust each other at the same time? After all Lana's complaining, she gets what she wants from Clark, then she just turns around and starts doing stuff behind his back and lying to him? And this is supposed to be a relationship that is root-worthy?

So far she's a liar. And an embezzler. And a stalker. If Lana is really so invested in being with Clark, and she's so totally in love with him, then would she really be living in his house, doing this stuff, knowing what she knows about how Clark would feel about this?

Exactly. I really don't understand this dynamic. If Lana really wants to give her relationship with Clark a shot, why is she still obsessed over whatever Lex is doing? Shouldn't she just be trying to make her relationship work and not do crazy, dark stuff that can jeopardize it? She has got to know Clark is not Lex, and he's not going to be all cool about her dark and messed up acts.

I know it's completely wrong for Lana to do this, but in her mind, she feels like she's protecting people from getting hurt by Lex in the future. We don't know just how much of Lex's dealings Lana found out about last season. She may have seen 33.1 and was disgusted to the point of revenge.

That's why I'm puzzled by Lana's actions here. She tried to fake her death, Lex got out of jail. Then she leads Lex to her apartment in China where he agrees to fix everything up for her. Ok, so what the hell else does Lana want? As soon as Clark found out about the 10 million, why not tell Clark that she is going after Lex if that is the case? I don't see what the big deal is. After all, everybody on this show is going after Lex it seems. And another thing, if Lana was that worried about what Lex would do to her in Phantom, leading her to fake her death, then why go right back into the lion's den and actually put yourself in a situation where you are now a target again as far as Lex is concerned?

It seems stupid, untill you realize Lana is obsessed with Lex. All common sense flies out of the window at this point. This is exactly why I believe we will see another form of Lexana return. I mean, if she hates him so much, why not kill him in China? She had a good opportunity with her gun pointed at his heart. Than she is trying to rub in that she is now living with Clark (In "Kara" the apple pie scene), and now she is obsessively spying on him. She might not love him anymore, but she still has some kind of attachement/attraction towards him.

Because I don't think that Lana is a killer, but you're right, she does seem very obsessed with Lex. It's almost like she is trying to track every move that he makes so that she can foil his plans but I just can't understand why she wants him so badly. I don't think that they are really selling the idea of Lana still being badly hurt by what Lex did to her last year but that's the only reason that I can think of for her to go to all of these ridiculous extremes.

When has any of Lana's actions and decisions made logic or sense ? When she got involved with Lex Luthor in the first place, knowing full well his past and reputation, she set herself on the downward path into, and onto the dark side, where she is now, part of season 7 will be Clark redemption of her soul, ( if such it can be called ), if nothing else, but in doing so he will see what she has become, and things will be over between them forever. ( pray God make it so ).

Ok, so what the hell else does Lana want? As soon as Clark found out about the 10 million, why not tell Clark that she is going after Lex if that is the case? I don't see what the big deal is. After all, everybody on this show is going after Lex it seems. And another thing, if Lana was that worried about what Lex would do to her in Phantom, leading her to fake her death, then why go right back into the lion's den and actually put yourself in a situation where you are now a target again as far as Lex is concerned?

It puzzles me as well. I don't know. Sometimes, i get the feeling the writers don't have a clue what to do with Lana anymore, so they give her this nonsense storylines. All I know is that if Lana wanted to make her relationship with Clark work, this is the worst possible way of doing so. It's just gonna destroy and cause more damage to an already broken relationship.

We saw last season in the "Normal Again" episode (okay, that wasn't the name but it was pretty close) that Clark's perfect version of Lana is a Stepford wife. That ain't Lana.

Interesting point. I'm a Cloiser who has seen some value to Clana from time to time and I was deeply unsettled by last season's Labyrinth version of Clana. Sugary, childlike Lana is Clark's lasting or most tempting vision of her?? Yuck. Of course, the alternate nature of that episode makes it hard to interpret.

Like someone else said, I'm still waiting for the Clana this season to settle down and pull me in. I know we're in for a long ride, so I'm trying to get comfortable, but we don't seem to be moving. Did Clark really need Lana to know his secret so that she could patter about arranging flowers and cooking breakfast? Why not just keep Martha on the show then and send Lana to Washington? *scratches head*

Eh, on the other hand, I really reallly respect Clark for taking things more slowly this time. I definitely feel that there is an element of chivalrous caution to his dealings with her. "Promise" and "Combat" really humiliated Clark in terms of him giving way to passion and wallowing in his feelings for Lana. Ever since "Phantom"'s lines where he told Chloe that he's prioritizing defeating the last Zoner over thinking about his Clana happiness, Clark just seems to be making the effort --and succeeding well-- to be more grounded.

How should Lana act around Clark? I don't see the point here. Is she suppose to act angry or what around him? He finally opened up to her and isn't keeping anything, basically being the guy she always wanted him to be.

As for Lana and her obsession with Lex. To steal a quote from Superman 3, "Revenge is like a poison, it comsumes us and turns us into something ugly." I think that's what is going here. She wants revenge for the baby thing and to suffer like she did.

Well.... for me, Lana is still the person who in "Phantom" made the choice to go it alone with her fake death, letting her friends and true love think she's dead.

I don't blame her; if the "I wanted to protect you" storyline was weak, when hasn't it been for all SV characters? But I do find that moment extremelyyyyyy significant. Lana has always depended on others in her times of need; again, not a bad thing: that's what friends are for, etc. But S5 really battered Lana and suddenly she didn't have anywhere to go ("Void") except a last desperate chance of loving support with misunderstood Lex. (late S5) Then in S6, Lex further isolates her and then betrays her. For the first time (late S6) we are seeing a hard, bitterly independant woman trying to rescue herself with her own agendas.

Lana's love for Clark still exists ("Nemesis" "Bizarro") but late S6 Lana has so much more on her plate than the old familiar feeling for our farmboy alien (which has been so brutally diminished since late season 5).

Early S7 is all about the ruins of Lexana. Clana is still there because Clana was always there during Lexana but Clana is by no means the central dynamic btwn the Big Three right now. It probably will take center stage once again as the season progresses but for now a lot of Lexana loose ends have to be resolved.

No more different than what happened with Chloe in season 4 or Clark disappearing all those times.

I wonder if Clark knows about the baby............They both have a lot on their plate, Clark more so. But Lana is drifting away more so, because Clark doesn't know what's going on with her.

I don't think Lana has told Clark about the Luthor files. She's still seems Luthor enough that she selectively chooses which information to share for now; her insider knowledge is her power and she's not going to hand over her advantage. Again, we're seeing Ex-Mrs. Luthor in action. Not Lana Lang, Clark's highschool girlfriend. She herself seems to barely remember the girl that she was; thus the fakeness in her scenes with Clark.

Never fear though, IMO it's certain that Clark will be able to bring out some of her original charm over time.

Why would Lana being acting fake in her scenes with Clark? What would that accomplish? What Lana's doing doesn't change how she feels about Clark. She isn't hiding anything from him to keep her power, she's hiding it so Clark won't think of her differently or get upset.

IMO it's the old Lana Lang that truly loves Clark Kent. Lana Luthor's memories of being that Lana and her need to get rid of Luthorness is what's keeping her current love for Clark alive. She's acting fake because she's trying to be that barely remembered Lana while she's with Clark; she's keeping secrets and lies with him over Luthor business because she doesn't want him to interfere with her ability to take 'em down (thus my power comment) which is her main passion at present.

IMO if it was all about normal Lana loving Clark and knowing his secret, then she would just tell Clark everything about Lex & Co. and we would have a sweetly emotional scene of Clark promising to protect her/swearing vengeance similar to Chloe's dealings with Lex in Progeny.

I think we WILL get around to normal lovin' Lana a bit further into the season, thus those spoilers, once Clark confronts the Ex Mrs. Luthor in her.

Eh, I buy that Lana being Luthor like right now, but I don't buy the fake part. She isn't doing completely adnormal when she's with Clark. She doesn't need to act any different around Clark and being with him probably brings out the good side in her.

'As long as Clark kept his secret it was impossible'.

So, Lana has told Clark that she's spying on her ex in the shower?

I know, cheap shot. Still, this is ridiculous that she hacked into his camera database and is stealing his web sight info. Little Ms. Perfect Pink Princess has secrets of her own- she never managed to answer Clark's allegation without victimization BS.

Perfect Pink Princess should worry about the plank in her own eye.

I'm getting pissed with these Clana scenes. They've waited forever and a freakin day to be with each other and now that they are, they don't even act like a teenage couple. They act like the Kents...in the later years of the marriage. Where'd the honeymoon phase go?

Everything. Maybe she's making an index of his allies, his abilities and weaknesses and pocketing this handy 'Clash of the Titans' info for making a wedge a la The Yoko Factor.

Its kind of hard to reconcile that Lana's been pissing and moaning about Clark keeping secrets for years, and now that she's finally got what she said she always wanted, and Clark is being completely open to her about his life, she's decided that she's going to start doing things behind his back and lying to his face. Not that she hasn't done this in the past, but then you could at least say it was even. But now? What the heck is wrong with this chick? And how much are they going to drag Clark through the mud to keep her blameless?

So much for that whole no angst, open, honest relationship people thought they might get :rolleyes: Its just the same song and dance from before, only this time with no justification at all, and a different character taking the lead. And somehow I doubt that Clark will ever be allowed to tear into Lana the way she always tore into him.

Thankyou. *Applauds*

Every second episode someone- usually Lana- is giving the 'You are unreliable, mean person for not trusting me'.

At least Clark kept his voyeurism to a telescope and didn't squirrel away 10G of a loveless marriage to win the Secret Keepers Crown.

I feel the only reason a lot of people wanted them together is because they are sexy and because they want to see them do the 'wild thing'? Why is that so important? Isn't it far more important for them to be in an honest loving relationship together rather then see them make out?

They've been burning for 6 years. Now that they are finally together, without the desperation and longing, it makes sense for things to calm down.

See above. What honest & loving relationship? Clark has finally clued in and Lana's still using last seasons playbook.

Originally posted by SecretzNLyz15
I know it's completely wrong for Lana to do this, but in her mind, she feels like she's protecting people from getting hurt by Lex in the future. We don't know just how much of Lex's dealings Lana found out about last season. She may have seen 33.1 and was disgusted to the point of revenge.

:rolleyes:

Your saying after the 'we need protection from' meteor freaks, you think she finally clued in it was evil? She let her best friend get swiped by her Husband to be and seems to be clueless about that.

I seriously doubt her investigation & deductive reasoning abilities as this episode proves that she knows about Chloe.

No matter what, Lana can break the law, fake her death, kill her clones, steal 10 G and set up secret observation posts and thats all 'reasonable in her mind'.

Dear me if Chloe or Chlark have a hiccup its Doomsday.

Lana seems like Clark's nice roommate. You can feel the history between them but I suppose they are content to leave it undressed. Lana is definitely trying to soften him up... but it's slow going.

Lana goes up for kiss and is presented with side of face.

It looked like the rose colored glasses Clark always had on while looking at Lana may be coming off. And, he did not look all that warm and comfy with her esp. that last hug. I also think that what Knox said about outliving every woman he loved is weighing heavy on his mind. He is really gonna need Chloe to confide in. Esp. since his mom is MIA. Guess since she has broken up with Jimmy, she will be available.;)

Lana, when she is good, she is very, very good and that is what ClarkMan loves about her, but now he has some suspicion that not all is sweetness and light with her.

Lana will always be the first love and apparently the first female that he lives with. (lois flopping in the Kent house did not endear herself to him and is not in the same league as Lana. Forget your funny books, this is Smallville, you comic book episodes have never happened in this world)

You have to wonder what will finally break them apart. Will it be Clark's thoughts of outliving everyone he loves, or will it be Lana's dark secrets that she's now carrying around?

That's a good point. Even after Lana's "death," Clark focused on solving the problems first, before dealing with his feelings. He seems to have grown up a lot.
