After tonight's eppy I think its safe to say its time for Lana to take a time out. She now has everyone gunning against her and not to mention she is in some deep crap with not only the Luthors but now Chloe, Clark, and Lois. Bye bye Lana time for a time-out. Who do you think?

I think Lana needed to take time out after the whole fake baby/Lexana marriage fiasco, but instead, she pulled the typical "Lana thing" and hooked up with her back-up boyfriend.

This show would really benefit, and I think Lana's character would too, if they just had her bow out of 2-3 episodes, and explain that Lana decided to go away for a while to "a spa" and is getting some help for her crazy.

It's funny that you said time-out...because thats what Lana's acting like right now...a spoiled brat. When she threw somehting at the mirror...it reminded me of a child having a tempor tantrum. She needs to sort things out...

I don't know. It's pretty messed up. If I had a friend in this kind of crazy situation, I'd definitely recommend some good therapy and not try to play psychiatrist and say "Oh, I can save you. I can't help you not be crazy" like Clark seems to be doing.

Clark needs to realize he can't save everyone especially someone that doesn't want to be saved.

Okay, I don't condone what she has done since she came back, but you guys, give her a break. She's been put through a lot by Lex and Clark (i.e. faked pregnancy). She's going to have issues.

Issues that need to be dealt with with the help of a specialist. Clark cannot save her from her crazy tendencies. He wasn't able to save Lex, what makes him think he can save Lana?

If by time out you mean a horribly painful slow death? then yes! It is time for a timeout

A psychiatrist definitely, and I don't know why Clark thinks he can save her or why the majority of people on this board think he can't. I'm just saying maybe give her a chance.

You can have Lana believe me I think many people will agree with me. Alot fans don't like Lana either cutesy or evil.

I think its safe to say everyone who has watched this show since the beginning have given her chance and now are realizing Lana has ran out of her options.

Lana rarely did anything wrong prior to her involvement with Lex unless she was possessed or something similar. Give the new 'psycho' Lana a chance to get over her need for revenge and calm down.

At first people didn't like Lana because she was too good and perfect and cutesy and were dying for a change. Now she has and it's still not good enough.

I know KK is a good actress, so I don't think that the way I am seeing her is a result of her over acting. I think the way that I am seeing it has more to do with how the writers or producers have decided to play the role. Just something about her manner is out of sync - even if she did go through a lot with Lex. She's just too much, and it seems to show. But KK is doing an excellent job.

Yeah, I think they're writing her this way to find a storyline for KK because she's the female lead.

If I'm not mistaken, KK wanted to do the Isobel story-line. So they did it. Did you know that KK also played Snow-White in a Network movie?

I just ran across an old article that said she was Snow-White: The Fairest of Them All in a Network movie. I never heard of that before. I guess the movie was on television in 2001.

Here's a link:

I think I heard her say that she learned to ride in Snow White in one of the commentaries from the SV DVDs.

That's where this show has made a huge mistake. There is no reason for there to be a female lead in this show! :mad:

It's beyond me why they need to dedicate so much airtime on her character (does it cost them less to use her, than get someone new, or give more airtime to someone else?? Clark, maybe? someone help me out here. :confused: .) How many of you have rewatched the epi "Trespass" of your own volition? I think the answer to that should clarify my point. :(

I disagree! You along with others who say she is SO OOC have been, just as Clark has all these years, under the spell of the illusion he's created; that she has always been this Miss Sugar Perfect. She's even told him herself on several occasions that she is not the same person he has made up in his head.

There's a name for the type of Socio-psychological phenomenon. where if enough ppl believe and/or act like a certain thing is true, then others will as well, despite their own initial feelings. We were shown since the beginning a Lana who mesmerized all the males in the county, both thru dialogue and events; that she embodied all young men's fantasy. Thus viewers have been basically put under the same spell, despite the fact that we have been given many glimpses of her true nature all through the past seasons.

Lana doesn't mesmerize me and she isn't embodied in any of my fantasies. And it isn't my fault the writers and producers painted that picture of her through most of the series. We only know what we've been shown over the course of the years, and that is not an overly progressive extreem Lana character. Her actions are coming out of no where (essentially).

i think you meant "overly aggressive" and her actions aren't "coming out of nowhere" they simply stemmed from the fact that she had suddenly been literally physically "empowered" with Clark's strength, so she was finally able to do what she has wanted to, probably ever since Lex slapped her in "PHANTOM"

Lana's been playing Clark, hoping she could eventually get him to take Lex down for her, but now she had the power to do so herself.

litew8
11-09-2007, 12:06 PM
^ No, I meant overly progressive.
In the context that she is still the same Lana that we've known.
If she isn't the same Lana that returned, and is a clone -then
I think it's just right (not overly progressive).

The Lana Lang character is progressing too rapidly in a short period of time. Somewhat similar to what Clark said.

If it is the Real Lana, and she is suppose to become mean:
Progressive:
Moving forward or onward.
Continuing by successive steps

Overly progressive:
Too much progression, too soon.

OK I see what you are trying to say, but i think you mistook what Clark said. I re-watched the epi. and to quote: " the longer she has these powers she's growing more aggressive"

We learned in this epi that Lana started "Isis" several months ago. This isn't a sudden transformation. It's been a growing obsession.

I would love to find out this is really CloneLana with whom Clark 'enjoyed himself' in the barn :lol: .

I was one of the first to jump on the idea that it would be CloneLana coming back this season. All the spoilers and episodes up to this point have made it seem quite possible. But after seeing "Wrath" , I believe that whether this is CloneLana or RealLana, it is THE only Lana we are going to get.

You say you, yourself personally were never mesmerized by her, and never thought she fulfilled every young males's dream-girl fantasy ( though that is how she was thought of in the town of SV). GOOD FOR YOU! :) :) :)

still, if you watch all the seasons' episodes, there were many subtle, some not so subtle, hints given throughout into Lana's true nature; her motivations, her desires, her transgressions, often driven by her insecurities. lana is unforgiving. Lana hold grudges. Lana has always wanted what's best for Lana, no matter who else it may hurt or help (If she had been a 6 ft. 200 lb male, she might have been the school bully, and felt justified being so) Instead she must resort to use what she has, thus hides behind the soft-spoken, doe-eyed, sweety, and manipulates in a much more subtle, deceitful manner. (It's only in the few times they have portrayed her differently that she has seemed out of character. IMO )

Well, for one it was a rehash of Leech. Good person goes bad with Clark's powers. Clark was goo goo over Lana and still refuses to admit she's not the person he idealizes. He passed off what she did as "the powers made her do it" when it was most certainly Lana saying, "because I have these powers I can finally do what I've always wanted to do." And the writing was bad.

The biggest problem I had was the sex. No, it didn't have anything to do with Lana, because it's realistic for a young couple to have sex. It's that there were those dumb earthquakes. Clark has sex like a normal human. He won't "blow a hole in her back" from having sex with her. He's normal in that respect.

jposey
11-09-2007, 11:21 PM
At least when Clark was blaming himself Lana told him not to and that her choices were made by HER.

Aw, I thought the earthquake sex was funny.. But she was superpowered too so it was earthquake sex, and it was his first time having sex with his powers. I doubt he automatically knew how not to kill a woman while doing it at first.

Mello Penelo
11-09-2007, 11:25 PM
That's what I just said. Clark won't kill a woman by having sex with her. I hate this perpetuated rumor that he's too powerful to have sex with a human.

And just because Lana told him not to blame himself doesn't mean he listened. Clark blames himself for everything.

jposey
11-09-2007, 11:33 PM
^^Yeah, but I meant he didn't know that, and they usually couldn't have sex as stated in the episode in fear of hurting her. We all know he can have normal sex, but at this point he doesn't.

When I said the Lana thing I meant that at least Lana wasn't just letting Clark take the blame and that she was trying to take responsibility for her own actions.

I know that everyone's entitled to their own opinions and feelings. My comment wasn't meant as a way to tell her not to feel a certain way or anything like that. And Mello Penelo's comment being a little extreme was my opinion. Mello Penelo and I are both talking about it and I respect her opinion, which is why i'm asking why she felt that she didn't like the episode.

The question was directed toward Mello Penelo but you can answer too if you like :)

I did not mistake what CLARK said. It has nothing to do with LANA having CLARK's powers. That isn't what I am referring to when I said overly progressive. I was referring to her all out change in character - towards being evil. And what I mean when I said that CLARK made comment to it - I was referring to the scene where he goes to LIONEL for help. LIONEL talks to CLARK a little and CLARK doesn't seem to think that her attitude fits. I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE CLARK SOME CREDIT in the wisdom department. Maybe he is on to something and is keeping it to himself. Hence, the way he looked at LANA in the end.

Yes, it is a sudden transformation. You are talking about a comment that CHLOE made to CLARK saying something about MONTHS that LANA has been creating ISIS. Well, that confirmed to CLARK that LANA has been LYING to him, but it ALSO demonstrates that LANA has been overly progressive ever since she RETURNED to SMALLVILLE. Even prior, she STOLE the 10 million > to fund this premeditated act - and who knows what else. To me, it's all overly progressive, out of character, too extreem for a real Lana.

Thanks for the kind words about me not being mesmorized and having fantacies about LANA LANG (I think). You have to realize, you are talking to a man that use to be picked up by women (back when) :lol: So it's easy for me to see through LANA LANG and the likes. I can understand the description you are giving her throughout the series, but what she's doing NOW is by FAR too extreem (I think).

Are you serious? :eek: "Clark". "wisdom" and "Lana" in the same sentence? :lol: I don't think so, unfortunately. --although he does seem like he's beginning to see the light. :) (hence his attitude toward her at the end.)

In the scene w/Lionel you could see Lionel trying to carefully chose his words to get it through to Clark that his perfect image of Lana was all in his head. Lionel even recalled Delilah's betrayal of Samson. When Lionel told Clark about Lana's involvement in his captivity, and tried to gently break it to him, "She's not... may not.... be the person you think she is", Clark replied,"Lana's incapable of doing something like that." And of course Clark would think that, because he has such a blind view, a fantasy view of a perfect and sweet little angel that is not really Lana at all!

I'm surprised you took personally my comment about young males, if you're not one ;) Most of the "older" guys do see thru Lana.... which makes it even harder for me to understand that you think this Lana seems too OOC.

But still, I would LOVE for her to be the CLone (and the Real Lana be dead)! :)

Do you think it was the Clone that threatened Lex's scientist in the elevator in S6.04? Do you think it was the Clone that had every intention of letting Lex die in the mines after she used his gun to open his briefcase? Do you think it was the Clone that clamped her thumb over Lionel's breathing tube in the hospital?

Yes, I am serious. :)
Part of Clark's journey is to garnish wisdom and judgement. I think he's onto something. Seriously. And I don't think it is him finally realizing that he's got blinders on for the wrong reasons.

In the scene w/Lionel you could see Lionel trying to carefully chose his words to get it through to Clark that his perfect image of Lana was all in his head. Lionel even recalled Delilah's betrayal of Samson. When Lionel told Clark about Lana's involvement in his captivity, and tried to gently break it to him, "She's not... may not.... be the person you think she is", Clark replied,"Lana's incapable of doing something like that." And of course Clark would think that, because he has such a blind view, a fantasy view of a perfect and sweet little angel that is not really Lana at all!

I think Lionel knows more than he's letting on. Hence his careful choice of words to Clark. I think some people take Clark's interest in Lana WAY TOO SERIOUS. It isn't like he hasn't moved on before. I don't think he has a 'blind view' - you may think that, but I think it's part of his character - not a flaw.

I'm surprised you took personally my comment about young males, if you're not one ;) Most of the "older" guys do see thru Lana.... which makes it even harder for me to understand that you think this Lana seems too OOC.

I didn't take anything personally, so don't be surprised. I was just making a comparison - in letting you know that your suggestion can't be applied across the board. And I'm not one of the "older" guys you may be accustom to.

No to all of the above. They are appropriate progressions due to circumstance, but in comparison to current revelations - by far, vastly distant to say.... premeditating / attempted murder. Everyone is starting to realize that the Lana Lang in their lives is not the same. Too different. And it doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing for good reason - none of which are natural.

But you think all the episodes are bad. So far, I have seen all your comments and its all negative on all the episodes.

So which ones do you like about Clana? None right?;)

If that's how they feel then that's how they feel. That's why we come on the boards to release our frustrations. Everyone is entitled to their our own feelings and opinions.

I hope that goes for even Clana shippers or Lana fans. Sadly, Lana is stigmatized as the most hated citizen in Smallville even surpassing the ultimate-would-be villain Lex Luthor esp. in this board. I think a bullet to the temporal lobe is extreme and Lana always seems to get bash even when she apologized and took the blame for her actions.

Yes, she has issues which Smallville character doesn't. Clark and Lex have daddy issues. Chloe can't make up her mind whether to be BDA's full time nanny or an ace reporter. Lois should really have Nelly Furtado singing Promiscuous Girl in the background, Kara- another one with daddy issues. Let's see Lionel-Good or Bad or just Bland as of lately. Jimmy- why is he here again? I agree about Lana's character that she seems to be more progressive and quite aggressive with her character development. I actually find her character the most interesting because she's not perfect, she's like every other person you know and have met and is trying very hard to redeem herself. Unlike some SV characters they've reached a plateau. Where will they take Chloe now? We know her loyalty will be with Clark hence they gave her that boring, non-existent power to boost her storyline. Lois with a Luthor! It seems Clark has a thing for Luthor girls. I always knew it was a mistake to introduce Lois, now they've tainted the image of Lois, too.

If anyone deserves a bullet to the temporal lobe- it's the writers. I'd like to see the writers in a slow and painful death.

The writers must think the fans are are stupid if they think we would enjoy having Lana channel the personality of Ricardo Montalban from "Wrath of Khan". Was she wearing corinthian leather? Thank gawd they couldn't find a way to work in his "from the depths of hell..." speech.
I have ranted since mid season 5 and the start of Lexana that the writers had lost ALL sense of who Lana is or should be and have no clue of how to make her interesting without making her STUPID and/or EVIL.
Lana doesn't have to kill Lex to get even, she just needs to flaunt her happiness at being with Clark in front of him and envy will do the rest. Even if the writers have forgotten, the fans remember what Clark said in Crimson, "Lex has always wanted what I have...". Let Lana destroy what little good is left in Lex the old fashioned way, break his heart and kick his butt to the curb and she doesn't have to be evil to do that.
Okay writers, give me ten minutes in the corner for a time-out. It's time to stop bashing on Lana and find a CREATIVE way to have her be useful in Smallville.

Wow we have some serious Lana/Clana haters on this site. :( I'm a clana fan but reasonable meaning there are times I'd glad that Kara and Lana try to make Clark wake up a bit about his destiny and stop making excuses.. But I don't want to see him with Lois.. at least not on SV. haha. If they do get together can we all take a snooze.. :)

Very interesting you brought this up.

I've been rewatching some of the seasons, and am on season 4 currently. I stopped last night with the episode when Chloe finds out about Clark's abilities.

Anyway, in the episode where Lex is accused of murdering the woman he slept with, at the end we see Lex and Clark talking in the barn, and Clark is basically saying he saw a side of Lex he never knew he had.

I had a bit of an epiphany...it was almost EXACTLY like the scene Lana and Clark had in the barn at the end of Wrath, when Clark told her the same thing, that he maybe didn't know her like he thought. It was even in the loft, just like the scene with Lex. Then look what happened to Clark's relationship with Lex not long too much longer after...

Hmmmmm...
