Should Lana have told Kara the truth?

[Alexander III]

YES, SHE SHOULD HAVE!!

Lana's face looks like she's consipated, that's one of the weirdest facial expression I've ever seen. Anyways, should she have told Kara the truth? Poor Kara, she's dying to know the truth man, c'mon!

[lastwords]

If she told her the truth...well KARA would not have moved in with lex. Gosh.

[NeoSuperman]

You should have added the "Doesn't matter" option as I really don't care one bit. This whole amnesia plot is lame.

[miks]

^^ totally agree

[Twitch]

I'm going to say no, because I'd rather Clark tell her, but speaking of Lana... Anyone else find her a bit weird tonight? There was something about her, can't really put my finger on it, she was a little creepy to be honest. Maybe it was just the hair, I dunno :lol:

[Ilovebeinglost]

Lana knows what it's like to be lied too and she is the one that told Clark not to say anything and that right now she trusts Lex because Lex found her.

Man it's going to be a long season if this keeps up.

Hey wait I had a thought. what if she suddenly remembered and just wants to move in with Lex so she can spy on him? No? Too far fetched? She's not that smart?

Nope, she's not that smart :p

[oldblackmagick]

^^^ Kara is smart but sadly she wont get her memory back for another epi or two. then she'll be back and hopefully out of Lex's pad. I didn't see the ep but did just kara move in with lex or did lana go too? i heard someone say that and no one corrected them so is lana back living at luthor mansion??? if she is she is so a clone:p

[jazel]

You should have added the "Doesn't matter" option as I really don't care one bit. This whole amnesia plot is lame.

I agree, I'm pretty disappointed with what they done with Kara so far. Maybe even more disappointed in Clark, and the way he treats her.

No Lana didn't move in with him, just Kara.

[tmack09]

I'm going to say no, because I'd rather Clark tell her...

I would have to agree because it isn't Lana's place to tell Kara the truth! Clark should be the one to tell her everything, not like Lana REALLY knows a lot any friggin way when it comes to Kara's past! so honestly I don't see how this in anyway could be pinned on Lana not telling Kara.....

Should Clark tell Kara everything: yes or no....im gonna go with YES!!! HE SHOULD!! :)

[kentfamily]

I didnt see the episode yet.

What was weird about Lana? Did she act funny? Look different? What was wrong with her hair? How did it look? I hate it when the Hairdressers from the show, make her hair pasted on her face and head. They always make it flat and it looks terrible. Did they do that to her? I believe her hair is not like that naturally. Pasted on her head.

I think the hairdresser dislikes KK so she makes KK look funny by giving her WEIRD hairstyles

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yes she should, it is just weird thinking about Kara moving in with Lex.

[mobiusklein]

So, Lana is her usual hypocritical self? It's now OK to keep secrets and lies from people just as long as it's not her, huh? What a jerkoff.

[NeoSuperman]

It looked more like she wanted to tell her everything, but didn't know how or where to start. It was a decent scene.

[Mar-El]

I actually thought it was a pretty decent scene too.

Lana made the right decision in not telling Kara the truth. It isn't her place to say. That's Clark's job.

[mobiusklein]

But it doesn't apply when waiting for someone to tell her the truth. It's OK for HER to dig around and trick people into revealing the truth because they're EVOL if they don't but it's OK for HER to keep HER mouth shut when it suits her. e_e

[lauraforever]

Nope. that's Traveler. Or maybe they changed it which I would have been in the dark about.
IMO she should have told her the truth, or at least a part of it. Say she's from Krypton, and leave the discussion hanging there.

Thanks for pointing that out When I went to copy the spoiler I glanced quickly and looked at the wrong episode title don't know how but somehow I confused myself. but back onn topic before this becomes a spoiler thread.


I don't think lana should have exposed clark's secrets to kara especially if he doesn't want to tell kara but she could have found a way to porve she, chloe, and clark could be trusted and that lex cannot.

[Mar-El]

More is on the line than just Lana's whims. Now that she knows the secret, she can appreciate its magnitude. Nobody despises Lana Lang as a character more than I, believe me. I realize she's a huge hypocrite. I'm just saying that she would have known, as well as anybody, that a secret of this nature should not be spouted out to every Tom, Dick and Kara.

Whether or not her refusal to tell the truth is hypocritical (it is) is irrelevant inasmuch as keeping silent was the right thing to do.

[chlo-el]

I haven't seen it yet but I think that Lana and Clark should tell Kara about her own past. I agree that she shouldn't be told someone elses secret right away if it was just someone elses. But this is her own past she has the right to know.

[Jaderoyale]

I haven't seen it either, but i think Lana made the right decision in not telling Kara.
I think its Clarks place to tell her.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

I agree.
If Lana hates Lex as much as she makes out, she should have tried to stop Kara moving in with him :cool:

[Mar-El]

I agree.
If Lana hates Lex as much as she makes out, she should have tried to stop Kara moving in with him :cool:

I was surprised Lana never told Kara how Lex physically abused her. I think it was in Phantom and Lana responded with "That's the last time you'll ever touch me" or something like that. That would be a pretty powerful incentive for anyone to stay away, notwithstanding the fact that Lex faked a pregnancy. But I guess that last point is something not even Clark knows about, as far as we know from what we've seen onscreen.

Thats still annoying me so much.
The fact that they all think Lana "lost" her baby naturally (not that there is really anything natural about losing a baby), and haven't even asked her how she is. Losing a baby is tough on anyone mentally and physically.

[TheANIMAL (marcus)]

Dammit, its obvious shes gonna get her memory back one way or another.

[Alexander III]

She'll prolly get the memory back in "traveller" which is the episode next week, but if I was Kara and if my memory was restored, I'd still be mad at Clana for not telling me the truth. But again, SV will prolly leave that "Kaclana conflict" issue behind and go on w/ a new story.

[lastwords]

i think clark should just take her to the fortress... Is he being so dumb as to think that lex's obsession with him has gone away...clearly lex does not think that Kara came from kansas or wherever they said she came from (someone has probally said all of this anyway but..) Clarks just being stupid and skrewing himself over. If he told he she would have never said to lex that she wants to move in...gosh.

[biggkoz]

So she forgot who she was or she doesnt have powers anymore? How does she not know she can run a million miles an hour or fly or etc?

[JEWCY]

it was a good scene for the fact that lana was in kara's shoes so many times and now its reversed.

i like how smallville does those things, bringing everything full circle

[Ginx]

No, Lana should keep her mouth shut - it's family business. CK should tell Kara the truth and show her the bracelet....... because once she finds out CK's got it she's not gonna believe him... orrrr maybe when she touches it she'll get her mem back....

hope they talk about why Lionel had the bracelet next ep...

[smallvillefreak24]

ok i do not think that lana should have told her b/c clark would have been really pissed CLARK should have told her--and for that matter i think kara deserves to know because it is about her unlike lana who wanted to know about clark all those years

[smallvilleusedtobegood]

Personally I don't think either Lana or Kara should have any lines. They both are LAME.

[Sarah J]

Lanna should have told Kara. Since she didn't, well if you saw the end of the epi. you can get my point. It came back and bit her in the butt. I just hope Kara doesn't make the same mistake Lanna did

[ginnyfan]

I don't think Lana should have told Kara that she was an alien from Krypton. It's not her place.

I DO think she should have told Kara to sit down and told her the WHOLE story of how Clark wanted to be honest with Kara but she and Lionel urged him not to. AND of how Lana herself wanted to know about the black spaceship all the way through her relationship with Lex and the fake baby. THEN she should have said that Lex is using Kara to find out Clark's secret. The one Clark kept from Lana and is now keeping from Kara. She should have told Kara to wait until Clark got home and he could tell her everything.

If Kara still decided to go to Lex. *shrug*

[Alexander III]

Personally I don't think either Lana or Kara should have any lines. They both are LAME.

Yea, I'd rather have both of them looking at each other awkardly without saying anything any lines for 2 minutes. :rotfl:

[WickedJenn]

First, Alexander III, love the avatar :rotfl:


I personally don't think Lana should have told Kara, not with her being that close to Lex atm. She had no problem telling him that she had no medical records, etc. That is why I think Lana held back...she saw how deep in Kara is with Lex.

[clana4everfan2]

No Lana should have not have said a thing to Kara because it's not Lana's secret.. But Clark's and if anyone should have any right to tell Kara anything it is him.

[minerva73]

So, Lana is her usual hypocritical self? It's now OK to keep secrets and lies from people just as long as it's not her, huh? What a jerkoff.

But Lana knows how it feels to be in that position now. Lana knows what's Kara's going through and if Lana told her, then she might go tell Lex and she wouldn't want to be held responsible for knowing that Lex might get more leads to Clark's secret. What Kara needs to know is that people hide secrets to help protect the ones that they care about like Chloe said in "Noir".

Like if a parent decides to tell their children about sex when they're 5 years old, sure they're letting them know the truth, but they may tell someone else about it and there's a chance that they could get in trouble.

I think that Lana should have tried harder to prevent Kara's move in with Lex by speaking about her experience with Lex. She knows first hand what Lex is doing to her and by telling Kara about what happened to her, it might have prevented Kara staying with Lex IMO.

[Eri-El]

No.....Clark should be the one to tell her.

[AndiGirl]

It wasn't her place to tell the secret...only Clark can do that

[Minela]

Miss Secrets and Lies should have deffenitley told Kara. Lana knew exactley what Kara was walking into. Not that I blame solely Lana. Clark should have told her long ago. I simply don't understand why they are lying to her. She is not stupid, they could have explained to her why she shouldn't spill the beans to Lex.

[WickedJenn]

They could have, but as you saw, Lana tried to convince her about Lex in the barn. You can see at this point that Kara is defensive about Lex. We wouldn't know for sure of course, but I'm thinking that Kara knowing at this point is a bit too soon, that's a LOT of history to relay, and even Lana doesn't know everything.

[minerva73]

I simply don't understand why they are lying to her. She is not stupid, they could have explained to her why she shouldn't spill the beans to Lex.

Kara could have just thought that Lana was lying about not trsuting since she does "lie on auto-pilot". By the time Clark first talked to her, Lex was already feeding her lies. She met Lex before she met Clark again. Then she went back to Lex in the Talon. If Clark told Lex, she'd most likely tell Lex because he did help her out and then he'd be one step closer to knowing the full truth.

[skylar]

Lana did the right thing by not telling Kara her serect. She's Clarks cousin he should be the one to do it.

[mobiusklein]

Then Lana should never bring up secrets & lies again. NEVER.

I don't think people are getting the difference. Lana wanted CLARK'S secrets. Kara just wants what's KARA'S. HUGE difference. If I didn't know who I was and you kept it from me when I was freaked out, I'd smack you upside the head if I ever found out you were keeping my own info away from me.

[BadToad]

Lana should've told Kara the truth about her own experiances with Lex. About the fake baby, and how he hit her, etc. That way, she may have convinced Kara to stay away from Lex, but at the same time not revealed to Kara that she was alien.

But I do have to say if its not Lana's place to tell Kara because she's Clark cousin, doesn't that also mean its not Lana's place to try and influence Clark from telling his cousin the truth? Which she did. I thought that was not so cool of her. Ultimately its Clark's decision, but I didn't get where Lana was coming from.

[NoSupeForYou]

Clark really is a BDA. His cousin, who is an alien, has amnesia and he lets her associate with a man he knows to be manipulative and evil? I would have kicked Lex's ass last time when it turned out he had known where she was and was trying to manipulate her then.

It's obvious now what happened to Shelby. Clark let him go off with the dog trainer who has all the pit bulls.

Superman? Yeah, great guy if you're falling off a building, just don't ask him to babysit your kids.

[mobiusklein]

I agree. If it's not her business to tell Kara, she shouldn't be meddling at ALL.

[Alexander III]

Sometimes I just wish Shelby's the real superman, rather than that stupid farm dude. Btw, NoSupeForYou, your Shelby avator looks pimping!

[Darth Pipes]

It wasn't Lana's place to tell Kara. It was Clark's. Clark was too much of a passive coward to tell her.

[minerva73]

Then Lana should never bring up secrets & lies again. NEVER.

I don't think people are getting the difference. Lana wanted CLARK'S secrets. Kara just wants what's KARA'S. HUGE difference. If I didn't know who I was and you kept it from me when I was freaked out, I'd smack you upside the head if I ever found out you were keeping my own info away from me.

But Kara never would have thought about those secrets if it weren't for Lex. She would have thought that she were Linda all along, but Lex came and told her about it. IMO, Kara's getting those secrets out for Lex which would help her out in the long run. She would have never gone to the farm and pressured Clark and Lana about her life if Lex hadn't told her all of those things. He basically influenced her to go to the farm and search to see if she could find any connections.

[NoSupeForYou]

Thank you.

Lex must look like your avatar because he just got another hot chick to move in with him.

Lex: Hey, Clark! First I got your girlfriend in my bed, now your cousin is moving in. Ha!

Clark: Huh, cousin?

Lex: Yeah, and next week your mom. They did always say she'd end up with the Luthor name.

[Alexander III]

Thank you.

Lex must look like your avatar because he just got another hot chick to move in with him.

Lexara would like to have Shelby around too, he's more than welcome to stay in the mansion, and mark any territories he wants! Except Lexara's bed. :lol:

[NoSupeForYou]

When I think of Smallville's Clark Kent two words come to mind; Gross Negligence.

Where's Kara, Clark?
CK: Who?

There are people out there who need help, Clark.
CK: Hey, look! A tractor!

Have you visited your mom, Clark?
CK: My mom?

Watch out for that Kryptonite, Clark!
CK: Oooooh, Shiny!

Did you feed the dog, Clark?
CK: What dog?

Maybe we should ask your Martian Manhunter friend?
CK: Martia what?

Lex has repeatedly lied, killed a few people, used people in illegal experiments, is evil, and now your cousin is moving in with him.
CK: Good, then she'll never find out where I'm keeping her bracelet.

[Atomic girl]

I think Lana has no right to tell about Clark's secret, but nothing should have stopped her from telling Kara that she was married to Lex (matter of public record) and that he was less than honest with her concerning all sorts of stuff. She could say that Lex swooped in while she was vulnerable after her break-up with Clark and stuff like that. The biggest thing I would have pointed out is that after Lex found her, Lex didn't contact Clark, her only family that he knew about. What kind of upfront, honest person withholds family info from someone suffering amnesia? If that doesn't convince Kara that Lex is bad news, well then she's obviously lost more than just her memory.....

but didn't she kinda cover that with the whole speech about Lex being the hero at the right time?

[Atomic girl]

She made general statements that anybody could make and believe from the newspaper. Telling Kara that she was married to the guy and that she has personal experience would have been a much more powerful story, as opposed to a story she pieced together from gossip etc.

[j-kent]

I think she could have handled the situation a lot better

She should know better than anybody how irrational when can get if not told the truth

[mobiusklein]

In any case, I think it's going to be stupid if Kara easily forgives Clark & Lana for not telling her the truth. I'm sure it'll happen but I think it's going to be really lame considering how much whining Clark & Lana have done when people don't tell THEM the truth.

[litew8]

Whatever actually happened to Kara (being sent to Detroit and losing her memory) is not because of Jor-El. Jor-El already told Clark that. Even before, Jor-El told Clark not to trust Kara and to keep an eye out for her. This is something that Clark is not telling other people about (what Jor-El told him).

I think that is why Clark has not tried to tell Kara the truth, Clark doesn't trust her, or her intentions. He's waiting to see what is actually happening due to the vanishing act and amnesia. Which is why he took the bracelet and kept it for himself instead of returning it to Kara. All the while, keeping it a secret from everyone else. Clark is in control of the situation. :lol: - that was funny to say.

Anyway, the real zinger is Lionel lying to Clark, and Clark telling Lionel that they are going to have a talk. :)

[xrayvision]

I think she should have convinced Clark to tell her because it's his responsibility. Plus he can stop her if she decides to storm off to Lex after finding out.

[red_sun1938]

This makes the most sense.

Lana is creepy;)

[Krypton935]

yes-definitly!

[ClareKent]

Yeap, Lana should told her, that way Kara wouldn't moved with Lex..gosh, that was the creapiest thing that could happen...and it did.

[chlo-el]

She should have told Kara to wait until Clark got home and he could tell her everything.

If Kara still decided to go to Lex. *shrug*

I totally agree with this. Kara deserves to know the truth about her own past. It's not like it's just Clark's secret it's Kara's too. But yeah Lana should have told her to wait for Clark and she shouldn't have urged Clark to not tell Kara the truth.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

Let me just say this.........

Wherever Lana is..secrets and lies is never too far away.
That girls lives, eats, drinks and inhales secrets and lies. Go away Lana Lang!!!!!

[Kal EL2380]

Did anyone get a large sence of Irony when you saw that scene with Lana and Kara? Reminded me of the old loft scenes from the previous seasons, just reversed and with kara instead of Clark. Just made me laugh =)

[DreadShamus]

You should have added the "Doesn't matter" option as I really don't care one bit. This whole amnesia plot is lame.

Pretty much got it right on the nose there.

I voted NO. It isn't Lana's place to tell her jack. Clark is the only one with that right.

If Clark told her it would show some responsibility and maturity that he is obviously not allowed to find in SV.

[All about Clark]

I think Lana's correct response should have been "you need to talk with Clark". It's Clark's to tell, not Lana's. At least if she would have given Kara hope, she wouldn't have gone to Lex.

And boy doesn't Lex love when people come to him because Clark is withholding something. Way too funny how he lights up with an opportunity of this nature.

I'm actually not feeling very fond of Kara wanting to leave her family just because she's not getting what she wants. I guess she has a little Lana in her.

[minerva73]

I'm actually not feeling very fond of Kara wanting to leave her family just because she's not getting what she wants. I guess she has a little Lana in her.

I think it's more than just a little Lana. :\ She's letting other people define her objectives besides going out and getting it for herself. At least Lana took it upon herself to find out that Clark had a secret and begged him for it while Kara has to let Lex tell her that Clark has a secret before she goes out for it.

[Maddie Van Horn]

if not the whole truth then at least something!!! saying nothing just pushed Kara further towards lex, which is bad news anyway. idk why she even discouraged clark of telling kara in the first place!!

very true! if things keep going like they are, i fear she will suffer the same fate as lana w/ lex.....

[last man of krypton]

Lana's face looks like she's consipated, that's one of the weirdest facial expression I've ever seen

Perhaps she was having a hard time fighting her natural inclination to lie...

Nice take on the situation...!!!:D

[PepsiMax]

Yes she should have. That way none of that 'I wanna move in with you, Lex' drama from Kara would have happened.:rolleyes:

[supergirl28]

Yes Lana should have told Kara the truth, but not until Kara realizes that Lex is only using her to get to Clark. When she can see what Lex is doing then it would be good for Lana, and Clark to speak up.

[morethanmeetstheye]

Did anyone get a large sence of Irony when you saw that scene with Lana and Kara? Reminded me of the old loft scenes from the previous seasons, just reversed and with kara instead of Clark. Just made me laugh =)

Absolutely! that was exactly what I was preparing to say.
I was laughing really hard going "Okay Kara...now walk away with the last word...SCORE!!"

Ha! Kara pulled a Lana on Lana! Poetic justice is sweet.
I think the writers redeemed themselves just a little for all of those torturous barn scenes.


Anyway, the real zinger is Lionel lying to Clark, and Clark telling Lionel that they are going to have a talk.

There was something about this part that I loved. How can I explain it? It's just that Lionel (though I like him now) often has that air of superiority. But nowadays he has to answer to Clark. It gave me chills.:)

[msleggie]

Kara should know the truth, but it's not Lana's place to tell her, it's Clark's. Lana should have told Kara to go talk to her cousin.

[ClowRegulus]

Ha! Kara pulled a Lana on Lana! Poetic justice is sweet.


And the cool thing is that Lana acted just like Clark used to act w/ her about those kind of questions (and I believe that because she noticed that that her eyes were wet - feeling the pain to have to hide such important info).

[JLedge]

Yeah, I don't like the whole amnesia plot too much either. I feel like we haven't really gotten to see Supergirl in her for glory because of all the time where they didn't know where she was and now she doesn't even know who she is. Gah!

I kept wishing Clark and Lana would tell her. Even if they were trying to protect her or keep her from flipping out, now she's moving in with Lex. She's going to follow in Lana's S6 footsteps it seems.

Hopefully she'll actually get her memory back next episode. Let's hope so, anyway.

[darkone]

Sure she should have told her the same as Clark should have told her.It's a lesson that Lana needs to learn.And I do think that this experience will help her to understand why Clark was less than honest with her for such a long time.But 1 thing is similar here both lied because they want to protect the person that they care about and not to have an advantage out of this such as Lex does.

[NoSupeForYou]

The reality is that Clark didn't tell her because he was afraid of Jor-el. His own fear drove his cousin into the clutches of his greatest enemy. Maybe they'll use this as a lesson, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

[svtwamedfan05]

She should have agreed with Clark and told Kara the truth. If she wanted to be a real "Hero" and save Kara from going back to Lex.

[mrswelling_101]

no lana made the right choice ! not telling kara
clark is the one who should tell her, because he is her cousin! and he knows what it is like finding out your from a diffrent planet and a alien.

[borednow]

Yes and I shall quote myself to back it up:
{it was stupid of Lana not to tell Kara}

I mean she was the one who got duped last time? Dose she not remember the technique? "Let's see when I was angry with Clark because I thought he was keeping something from me, Lex lured me in by promising honesty and pointing out how Clark had done the same thing to him. Naw he wouldn't try that completely successful technique a second time now would he? I mean why use what has worked in the past?"

[Kal26]

I think Lana should have at least told her about her personal experiences with Lex. The fact that she didn't is just one more reason for me to hate her.

[Jaded Wolf]

YES!!! For the love of Pete Ross yess!!! For the last 6 seasons we've had to deal with Miss Self-Righteous "don't hide secrets from me Clark" Lana and then she turns right around and does the same thing to Kara. Lana should know that hiding these secrets would push Kara away and to Lex. This show is becoming a redundant, recycled, reused piece of gutter trash. Did the writers lose all sense of creativity? Did the strike effect them that bad? Do they even know what they are doing??? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Perhaps Lana doesn't like bringing up experiences like that. The look on Lana's face when Kara showed her the Mark of Whatever (unsure about the final word; her tattoo) made her seem pretty terrified, so how much more one of years of her life that made her suffer the most?

Generally, women don't like openly talking about when they lose a baby and if there wasn't a baby, then maybe that just makes it worse for Lana. And if she did say that, who's to say that Kara wouldn't just run to Lex and tell him that? Then he might twist the facts and make Lana seem like a liar.

Did the writers lose all sense of creativity? Did the strike effect them that bad? Do they even know what they are doing??? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


That's a good point about the strike. I've been thinking it about many shows. I'm pretty sure this episode was written before the strike, so yeah, they're not going to turn in their best work right before they try to shut down to get what they need from people they aren't very happy with imo.

That's a cop out though because the reason Lana went through that is because of the hurt she felt from Clark hiding stuff. Knowing that, Lana should know to not keep stuff from Kara. I don't even see what the big deal is in them needing to hide these things from Kara. Tell her the truth.

[minerva73]

And that's what she tried to do. The thing that held her above the rest of the other characters was that she told Kara that Lex wasn't always going ot be the good guy. She told her that Lex has a way of being the hero when the story starts (or something along those lines) and then turning back on you. The other people didn't do that. Clark just tried to fill Kara in on vague memories of her past, Chloe kinda ignored it, Jimmy just let her go, Lionel is hiding stuff from her as well, and Lex wasn't going to tell the truth.

IMO, Lana put forth the most effort in trying to prevent Kara from going to Lex. She could have done more, but compared to everyone else's, her efforts were the...best. :\

[Jaded Wolf]

Her efforts were irresponsible and pointless. If I came to you to give you warning of an event but didn't tell you what was going to happen then you would think I was a kook.

"Hey, you're in danger," I might say.
Your response, "From what?"
My reply in the essence of Lana, "Um... Just take my word for it."

Does that not sound stupid? It's the same crap they are doing to Kara. Take our word even though we don't tell you the full scoop.

[rebukey]

I think that Clark should have told Kara. If Lana had done it Kara probably wouldn't have believed her and it isn't that far of a stretch to think that Kara would then go to Lex and casually tell him of the alien fairy tale that Lana tried to feed her. But, Clark could make her believe by showing her his powers. It really isn't Lana's place to reveal the family secret to Kara.

But, it is her place to tell Kara just what a slime ball Lex is. Lana has enough dirt on Lex that doesn't include Clark at all that would effectively turn Kara away from Lex. Why Lana didn't share this information; I have no idea!

----- Added 5 Minutes later -----


The reality is that Clark didn't tell her because he was afraid of Jor-el. His own fear drove his cousin into the clutches of his greatest enemy. Maybe they'll use this as a lesson, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yeah, I highly doubt it. That is the same lesson that Clark should have learned from hiding the truth from Lana. She did the same thing, and yet he's doing it all over again! Come on Clark, get with it!

[Welling_is_pretty]

I voted no because it should be Clark who tells her. After all it's his secret, not Lana's.

[LexLuv180]

No, it wasn't her place or decision. She can't go behind the backs of everyone who already agreed Kara shouldn't know

[euterpe]

I would have to agree because it isn't Lana's place to tell Kara the truth! Clark should be the one to tell her everything, not like Lana REALLY knows a lot any friggin way when it comes to Kara's past! so honestly I don't see how this in anyway could be pinned on Lana not telling Kara.....

Should Clark tell Kara everything: yes or no....im gonna go with YES!!! HE SHOULD!! :)

I agree wholeheartedly! It is not Lana's place to tell Kara the truth. That is Clark's responsibility. And he should have told Kara everything already. You'd think he would have learned his lesson after the whole Lana debacle...if you continually lie to the women in your life, you will drive them to Lex who appears to be the only one being honest with them. Clark is being an even bigger prick with Kara than he was with Lana because this isn't a case of keeping your own secret from someone else, but rather keeping a person's own identity from them. That is deplorable! And pretty stupid, since you know she's going to figure out the truth eventually anyway.

[Kal26]

I agree with everyone who says that it's Clark's place to tell Kara the truth, in regards to them being kryptonian. My problem isn't that Lana didn't step in and tell her that. I am disappointed in Lana not telling Clark that he needs to tell her. After all, Lana has been the one preaching honesty this whole time, then she goes in the opposite direction once she knows the secret. My problem with Lana is more about the fact that she didn't go into more detail about Lex to a girl that she sees heading down the same path. What happened to girls sticking together? She should have went into detail about just what Lex did to her, so that Kara could at least have that information to go on. Telling her that he's not a good guy (not her exact words, I know) doesn't cut it imo. If Kara does end up being hurt by Lex, I feel Lana is directly responsible, along with Clark, Jimmy, and chloe. Any one of them could have told her some true horror stories about Lex, but Lana knows better than anyone how he can win trust, then betray it. In my eyes, she should have been the one to tell her about Lex's true nature.

[skizzo]

I think she shouldnt tell Kara cos then she would be betraying Clark's trust. As for the Lex story, she did kinda hint to Kara that's he's not a person she should be around with, but obviously she didnt go into much detail, I don't think anyone knows about the fake pregnancy, or at least that part hasnt been discussed by the writers. At the end of the day, its Clark's fault that Kara is approaching Lex, Lana even said to him he would take advantage of her situation and he did nothing.
I also like how she's letting her negative obsession about Lex go.

[Kal26]

I thought Lana confronted Lex about the fake pregnancy. I know a doctor told Lana that she was never pregnant.

I just think that when you know someone is potentially in danger, and you don't give them more than a very vague description of a person that you know isn't trustworthy, rather than one of many detailed accounts of that persons less than moral actions, your being misleading.

If I were about to put my trust in Lex, I would want Lana to tell me that he's created a clone army, held the meteor infected captive, and so forth. That's Vidal information that doesn't come across when she says something like "Lex isn't all he says he is". Again, I don't know the line, just saying something that's as vague as what she said.

"He's a bad guy" isn't going to change her mind.

"He has had an entire prison devoted to capturing, and experimenting on the meteor infected" may make her think twice, or at least hang in the back of her mind.

[mobiusklein]

I don't see why Lana should escape all the blame when she helped keep Clark's mouth shut.

[jazel]

I HATE lies of omission ! WHY do the people doing it, seem think they have all the answers, and are doing it for the good of the person. When in reality, it's for purely selfish reasons.

[savannah]

yes,Kara needs to know before she gets more intwinded in Lex's web and Lana knows that from experience!:eek:

[Kal26]

Amen to that!

[Cogito17]

It seems like a situation where there really isn't a good way to handle things.

On one hand, Lana has to lie. But on the other hand she risks putting Kara and Clark in grave danger because the information could be passed on to Lex. Lying to her wasn't necessarily a good thing to do, but given the alternative it was probably the safest. Also, echoing what others have said, its not her place to tell Kara. If she told Kara, she would be betraying Clark's confidence by revealing the truth about Clark as well and its Clark's secret/family history to share, not Lana's.

I know these boards are (generally) anti-Lana, so I actually think there would be a stronger backlash against her actions if she had told the truth. I wonder how many people condemning her for lying would have been as quick to condemn her for telling the truth.

[Kal26]

Not I. If she had told the truth, at least about what she knows about Lex, I wouldn't be calling her the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen. I'd actually be proud of her. It's hard for me to let her get away with lying, when she's been condemning so many people for doing it, for the last seven years. I don't complain about Lana for my health. I complain about her because until "Traveler", all she had ever done was let me down.

[Sweetie]

Yes,she should have.Her story with Lex was the best example to convaince Kara that he's is really bad guy.

[Sunny8]

So, Lana is her usual hypocritical self? It's now OK to keep secrets and lies from people just as long as it's not her, huh? What a jerkoff.


Totally agree.
