A huge plothole this season

[xrayvision]

In Fierce, Lana told Lex that Kara is from Minnesota. Now doesn't she think Lex would check up on her origin and background and see that she never existed in the eyes of the government? With Clark, the Kents & Lionel set up an adoption record using Metropolis United Charities, but what about Kara?

I expect Lex to use this as evidence later on when he presses about her secret.

[chantal]

Lex already did a massive amount of research on the Kent family during his Clark-Room obsession days. He should already know there is no Kara Kent from anywhere.

Might he think Clark told Lana the Minnesota lie (rather than Lana inventing it) and will throw it back at her in the future to show that Clark is still lying?

Or does he think Lana now knows some or all about Clark and Kara and will try to get it out of her?

There's a Plot Hole on this Sacred Show?

Al, Miles.....I guess I just expect too much from you sometimes.

[xrayvision]

I think we will see Lex checking into her in the next few episodes. I'm looking forward to that. I wonder if Kara will start trusting him now to spite Clark after the events between her, Clark & MM in Cure.

[Timester]

Lex knows that Kara is not from Earth. That was pretty obvious on Fierce.

If kara is working at the talon therefore she's working for lex and lex has to run a background check on her, BUT she has NO social security number!! how on earth is she going to work legally ANYWHERE?
w/ clark is different because of the adoption and all, and I'm sure lionel took care of that issue as well

I hope you're right. That would be awesome.

i'm not sure why everyone who comes to Smallville has to be working, and especially at the Talon. someone like Kara should obviously not be put on the radar by applying for a job.

this goes along with where people live also. basically anyone who doesn't have their own place seems to live at the Kent Farm. this season, it is Lana and Kara.

with $10 million in her bank, wouldn't the writers figure that Lana could get a room in town?

:D Never thought of it that way. Nice observation.

Maybe that way they can keep everyone close together without having to show us different scenes of say Lana at a hotel.

Don't be surprised if Kara rents the room in the Talon. :rotfl:

So true :lol:

i got the impression lana was staying at the kent farm b/c she was supposedly trying to keep a low profile (even tho that went out the window), not b/c she couldn't afford a place of her own.

Low profile ! The kent farm is the first place anyone would check. It's the starting point and center of all action.

[xrayvision]

Between Lex's conversation with Kara and how he knew Agent Carter found her ship and was interested in the pictures Lex's men were passing around, it was obvious Lex knew that Kara came out of the ship which Carter took and protected her from Carter. He knows she has powers even though he doesn't have evidence of it. He knows she's an alien because he asked her if she's a savior or a warning.

Also if Lex ever wants to expose her to the world, she would not be able to hide her identity like Clark. The government could easily turn her into an experimental lab rat. After all, if I'm not mistaken, Lex remembers that kryptonite hurts Kryptonians since he learned that before Zod possessed him. I'm wondering why he doesn't walk up to Clark with kryptonite just to put his past suspicions to bed.

[Super Maverick]

hahah. she's from MN

[Honey45]

Why would Lex hire someone who doesn't have a social security number??
Kara obviously doesn't.

[xrayvision]

Maybe he knew the person who applied for the job was the one he was looking for (the one who saved his life--i.e. Kara). His guy told Lex "We found her exactly where you said she would be" meaning the Talon. So I guess Lex was tipped off when she applied for the job & knew it was her.

Umm she ripped open the roof of his car and saved him from a watery grave. Lex saw her in the water like an angel before he passed out and then when he was on the shore she flew away.

He knows it was her even if she won't admit it. He's a smart boy and since cousin Clark already saved him once well you put it together now.

He drew a picture of her and told his men to find her. Don't you people watch the show?

:D

People ask too many logical questions like social insurance number and we know that Smallville doesn't do logic :lol:

[euterpe]

Plothole...this season? Smallville is one big block of Swiss cheese! Check your logic at the door, please.

[Ardiem3]

Lex dosent need any info to know that Kara isnt normal. Lex knows that Clark, and now Kara, are different, just how much he knows is yet to be determined.

[JudasAce]

Lex isn't personally running the Talon. We've all seen the level of competence of his employees...in particular anyone in charge of any type of security situation.

Honestly, she could hand some of those bozos her phone number and they'd think it was a social security number.

[chantal]

The biggest plothole this season is the non-reaction to Lana returning from the dead. Obviously, in a show about a guy from another planet, there has to be dramatic license when showing people's response to super human happenings. I mean, the government should be all over Smallville, investigating all the weird happenings.

But faking one's own death or murder, even including stealing a body to stand in for one's self (though not a clone, yet), has been done in real life. It's not something they have to fudge about to keep the story going, as with meteor freaks or aliens. This is something that happens in the real world and there should be something like a real world response to it. Very few people know about the existence of the clone, so why aren't they at least asking who's body got blown up? Or why Lana didn't get that innocent man out of prison? Even in weird Smallville, having girl-next-door Lana pull a stunt like this should have the locals stunned! And it should (since the Luthors are famous) have the media camped out at the Kent farm.

[xrayvision]

You bring up a good point chantal. Lana's body was positively identified as being blown up. Meaning the clone's dental records matched the original's and they had no reason to think she was alive.

Now she pops up alive and well. The authorities should be all over it. They should be asking why someone else has the same dental records and DNA (if any was available after the explosion) as Lana's. I think Clark should start his journalism career by uncovering this mystery by himself. It would be ironic that Lana would be the subject of his first story if they would do this.

Dental records are another big clone-plothole, since unless they took the time to give the Clone cavities and fillings, etc, the dental records aren't going to match.

Lex said he "cleared her name", meaning she could go out in public and people wouldn't be like "What's she doing here?? I thought she was dead!"

The plothole is HOW Lex cleared her name. Sure, he has a lot of connections, but who could he convince the whole town that she didn't actually die? Are we ever going to be told?

Don't let them fool you. She's only staying at the Kent's because they don't have the budget to have another scene. :lol:

This is probably one of those things they consider too unimportant to reveal to us.
