I think it's b/c of the sex...

[Clana4Life]

I don't think Clark is mad at Lana for not knowing Bizarro wasn't him. Come on, how would she really know it was someone else? She never knew about Bizarro. It's crazy to say she she have known it wasn't Clark. Chloe didn't even know it wasn't Clark. SHe just thought he was acting strange. Who the heck else would it be? It if looks like a Clark and talks like a Clark and kisses like a Clark, well, friends my bet would be it's a Clark. :) I think the big issue with Clana is sex and the fact that they can't have sex. It's one thing to know that you eventually will have sex (as in, we're waiting until we get married), but it's a hard pill to swallow when you know you may never be able to be intimate in that way with the person you love. Hence the awkwardness in the bed. We can lie in the bed together, but that's all we can do. I think Lana wishes that she could have with Clark what she had with Bizarro - working together, and being honest and open (and obviously the sex, too). And while she may be disappointed and a little upset that she was deceived yet again, I think she still loves Clark very much. I think her touching him on the arm at the end was her way of saying, "it's okay. I love you even though we can't be intimate in that way, and we will get through this." I think he appreciated the gesture but still feels inadequate, especially since he saw how happy Bizarro made Lana. I think it would be wrong of the writers to suddenly make Clark realize that he doesn't love Lana as much as he thought he did. They built the love story up way too much for that. And Clark has made way too many sacrifices for someone he supposedly kinda loves. I appreciate the dynamics they are giving Clana this year. It's a real relationship with real problems. And thank goodness it's not a soap opera where they just throw in the towel after one fight. These two are really trying.

Well, as per DC Comics, Clark can never have sex with Lana as long as he has his powers...Why? Here's a hint, her initials are also L.L. and she's tall, smart and gorgeous!! She's the one who gets super powered Clark in bed, not some gut eating phantom;)

Why is it crazy to think something was "off" about Clark? Somewhere between "Kara is gone, oh well" and "avoiding sunlight for two weeks", shouldn't some alarms have gone off? Heck, Clark's sudden willingness to have sex, after his well established concerns about Lana's safety, should have been a light bulb. Instead, Lana was overjoyed to have her "ideal" Clark (endlessly devoted her to, not concerned about the well-being or needs of any non-Lana based life), and had no desire to look past the surface. When Chloe tried to point out that something was up, Lana gave her a rather harsh verbal beat-down.
I think the big issue with Clana is sex and the fact that they can't have sex. It's one thing to know that you eventually will have sex (as in, we're waiting until we get married), but it's a hard pill to swallow when you know you may never be able to be intimate in that way with the person you love. Hence the awkwardness in the bed. We can lie in the bed together, but that's all we can do. Or, Clark is horrified Lana was boinking his evil double and did not notice it was not him.
I think Lana wishes that she could have with Clark what she had with Bizarro - working together, and being honest and open (and obviously the sex, too). Lana has been keeping secrets from Clark all season - her choice, not his. And I love that as soon as she gets her ideal, devoted Clark, then everything is just hunky dory for her. What she wants from Clark is not love, it is total devotion - to be his #1, #2, #3 and #4 priority. That is why, IMO, Bizarro said Clark could never love Lana as much as he did. Clark will always needs to put the needs of the world before his own happiness, which is what makes him a hero. Bizarro could not care less about anything beyond his own desires, which is what makes hima villain. Which one made Lana the happiest she has ever been? Kind of a disturbing insight into Ms. Lang, IMO.
And while she may be disappointed and a little upset that she was deceived yet again, I think she still loves Clark very much. I think her touching him on the arm at the end was her way of saying, "it's okay. I love you even though we can't be intimate in that way, and we will get through this." So, Lana is forgiving Clark because he is not as good a boyfriend as the evil clone double? Or is she forgiving him because he is not having sex with her? Either way, after sleeping with the enemy, quite literally, for two weeks, Lana is in no position to be granting Clark absolution for any relationship failings. Sex with evil double > fears of sex-related injuries.
I think he appreciated the gesture but still feels inadequate, especially since he saw how happy Bizarro made Lana. So Clark feels like he sucks because he cannot make Lana happy. I got the impression it was because his soulmate could not tell the difference between him and his evil double. IMO Clark has gone above and beyond this season to make Lana happy. Why should he feel guilty that his insane double acted like a happy love slave to Lana? Heck, Clark should have some serious concerns about his relationship if that is what Lana wants and expects from him. Forget Lex, forget the meteor freaks, forget about the people he can help - let's move to France!
I think it would be wrong of the writers to suddenly make Clark realize that he doesn't love Lana as much as he thought he did. They built the love story up way too much for that. And Clark has made way too many sacrifices for someone he supposedly kinda loves. I thought Clark realized the real Lana was far different from his image of her in Wrath.
I appreciate the dynamics they are giving Clana this year. It's a real relationship with real problems. And thank goodness it's not a soap opera where they just throw in the towel after one fight. These two are really trying. Well, they broke up a couple of time before it stuck in season five. I expect nothing less this time around.

RepairManBob, your post made me create an entire new thread. I responded to your post, but in a new thread called "Be Fair To Lana, Chloe Didn't Even Know." Check that out if you get a chance. And Clark does feel guilty. He apologized to Lana for what happened to her. He was not there to protect her. He feels his share of guilt. As far as Lana wanting to numero uno, in an earlier episode this season, she told him that she would like to hold on to him and never let him go, but she did not want to be the reason he satyed on the farm or even in Smallville. She's not selfish. I think she was just enjoying being the center of his world for that moment. She wasn't complaining about the relationship prior to that. The have never had a fight about him not putting her first. I think the issue of sleeping in the same bed and just "sleeping" is causing angst between them. Bizarro's bit about Clark not loving Lana as he did, came out of no where. To me, both Lana and Clark have proven their genuine love for reach other. You don't marry one guy to save another guy's life unless you love the latter guy. And you don't go back in time to save someone's life unless you really love that person. If the TPTB are trying to push the whole "hey don't really love each other" bit down our throats then that's crap and doesn't add up. At least be honest and say they love each other a great deal, but realize it won't work for whatever reason. I'm sure the "whatever reason" will be something lame and far fetched, too.

That's absurd. Are you saying that Clark is right for feeling guilty? His tyrant of a father imprisoned him in a block of ice but somehow everything is his fault? And frankly, Lana should be able to protect herself. It's pathetic that she can't get by without a man. Clark has no need or reason to feel guilty. It wasn't his fault.

I would understand if you were simply saying that Lana is not to blame but to hold Clark responsible is some way :confused: Why? How does that make any sense. Clark's sole puprpose in life is not to protect Lana.


and being honest and open

Clark could rip open his chest and pull out his heart, dissect it and give it to Lana. That's the only way I see him being more open and honest to Lana because he has done everything else in his power ans she still isn't happy and nor are Clana fans.

[RepairmanBob]

And Clark does feel guilty. He apologized to Lana for what happened to her. He was not there to protect her. He feels his share of guilt.How can Clark possibly be blamed for Lana sleeping with Bizarro? Jor-El was keeping him prisoner at the FoS! This is not like season five, where IMO it can be argued that Clark felt bad because he broke up with Lana and she ran to Lex. Clark played no role in Lana's actions.

This also does a disservice to Lana, IMO. Is Lana incapable of making her own decisions? Is she so feeble-minded that she cannot be held responsible for her actions, and needs a big strong man to protect her and keep her safe? Lana is the woman who outsmarted both Luthors, framed Lex for murder and set up a secret organization that is still engaged in shady actions. But as soon as Clark shows interest in her, she is a helpless damsel who needs to be sheltered and protected?

IMO, Clark blames himself for everything. Clark blames himself for the rising price of gas, for war in the Middle East, and for the CW's poor fall line-up. What Clark does not blame himself for, he blames on Lex. The one person he almost never holds responsible is Lana, which is what we saw.

Now why did Lana have to go and tell Clark about being in bed with him?

She should have just worded her story differently and it wouldnt have gone to that predicament. I cant believe Lana, I think in a way she knew Clark (Biz) was acting a little differently only because he had convinced her that he has decided to change, remember in the last episode before this, in the last scene and in the barn when he returned, he implied that he wanted to focus on them/their relationship. So of course what girlfriend wouldnt believe that when the relationship has been rocky. I guess Lana in her heart wanted to believe Clark was focusing on their relationship about being really honest and open and she was happy. There was no complication in that relationship. Thats why Lana said it was easier (in Siren). Who wants a complicated relationship. BTW, did Lana know Biz was a killer?
For all she knew, Biz was Clark and that he was treating her better and being more considerate.
I guess Clark was really hurt and angry because he felt that Lana cheated on him with another alien man. Dang it, Lana should have lied and not have said anything about everything, she should have just kept her mouth shut. Listen first and then answer or not.
BTW, Clark still haven't really been open with Lana, he is not sharing what he talks about with Chloe. I think that is what Lana wants from him openess and honesty. Those two are still keeping Lana out of the loop, did anyone notice that?

What I don't get is. Why doesn't Clark just put on some Blue Kryptonite so they can have sex. I mean holy crap. Clark is afraid of his own shadow.

Then he could feel pain...and he's probably afraid he'll stub his toe again afterwards :rotfl: Sorry, I just loved when that happened!
