View Full Version : Some of you are warped (about Lana)

I liked the episode, I even liked what happens to Lana because I'm more concerned with the interesting story than the character. However, seeing all these "I'm so glad Brainiac did that to Lana", "seeing Lana like that rocked", etc. posts are seriously warped, demented, and downright nasty.

That's because Lana-haters grow more bitter that canon won't change and that Clark will never suddenly love Chloe and ask her to become Mrs. Clark Kent. But, MD, you already knew that! ;)

The movie poster avatar? Yeah? I could use a Escape From New York poster with the SOL's head and no one would bat an eyelash. Funny how no one has complained until I call people out on being warped, though.

Lana-bashers are just growing more bold the more no one calls them out on being completely warped about Lana. If someone made a thread on this site yucking it up about how great it was when Chloe was in a coma, it'd probably get deleted. Make posts laughing at Lana for being catatonic is a-okay, though!

Far be it from me to defend Lana Lang, but I really did feel for her when Brainiac said she is in great pain but can't express it.
However, I do like that her coma thing isn't just a ploy to have her out of the last 5 episodes, I like they have put this into the story line. And yet...I can't see how Clark will snap out of this tragedy.
I don't know what's to complain about because I don't get why it's headless.

I agree.
I find it particularly ironic that this is a show focusing on a character who is supposed to teach compassion, hope, and humanity. Yet, there are people who cheer at another person's suffering. Whether you like Lana or not, Clark and Chloe were obviously pained by what happened, so by cheering for Lana to suffer, you in essence are cheering for Clark and Chloe's suffering as well.

Agreed!
For her contribution to this episode, Chloe may as well have been in a coma. Even catatonic, Lana had a greater impact in this episode.
I like Lana. I like Chloe, too. But like you, I just can't stand the non-stop bashing of Lana by fandom on this site.

One of the greatest moments for me as someone fed up with the Lana character. It doesn't even have to stick. I'm just happy that it might be the end of something Clana related! :D
I predict my "Die Clana" dance will soon be posted on youtube with about 309887 hits. As many SV fans love anything that hints the end of Clana. lol

I have to agree. She might not be my favorite character, but how she's involved in the story is very intriguing. Shes not the sole focus, but is woven in amongst the various layers. Its a very well done episode. And in the end you care for her if only for a sec.

I can't even count how many times the Lana storyline has run it's course over and over and over again with the same results every season. "I love you but..." "I love you even though..." "I'd still love you if..." Enough already! I agree that Lana IS an integral part of the Superman mythos but the same unrequited love story being rammed down our collective throats is even more cruel than some of the more extreme clana haters out there.
Am I glad that Lana won't be around the rest of the season and in limited spots in season 8? ABSOLUTELY YES!
Did I draw pleasure from watching her demise at the hands of Brainiac? ABSOLUTELY YES!
Does that make me a bad person? NO!
I want the story to advance and let's face it... with Lana around, that ain't gonna happen. I don't want to see Clark pining for a comatose Lana or lamenting the missed chances he had to be with her in each of the 6 seasons before this one. I want him to wake up and be the hero we know he is supposed to become. If it takes Lana getting lobotomized by Brainac to come to fruition, then so be it.

I've never "hated" Lana, but it made me sad, only to have to watch Clark sad over Lana once again. I'm so tired of it. It seemed to me that he was sad his "ex" girlfriend was in a catatonic state.
As Superman fans, we don't deserve this. We deserve to see Clark/ Superman move forward.
And I think that's where a lot of the bad feelings are coming from. We've been watching and waiting, and we want to see Clark do more. I for one, really thought they should have broken up a few eps back, as friends. Superman fans know Clark is way too old to live with Lana, his hs gf.

I thought demise = dead. Lana isn't "dead". And aren't her eyes just like Lionel's when he was scratching on the floor with a corkscrew?
I can't quite understand why Clark can't display grief over the disability of someone he's been very close to for the last 7 years. What is he supposed to do, shrug and say, "What ev"? I think a lot of people have never had someone they love die and are pretty cold-blooded.

Yeah, personally I stopped liking Lana around Season 3 and 4. But I really felt for this expisode. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Excrucating pain, but can;t express it? Being catatonic isn;t funny either. Look what happened to Chloe's mom and all those real life people out there deal with family members like that! Its no laughing matter. It only makes it worse that she's not completely out of it. She knows what's going on and what she's doing, but she can;t controll herself. Brianiac did this to her. Plus, Clark with all his talk of ppl not being institutionalized puts her in a institution!!! That's low.....
I just thought, she may have been better off staying w/ Lex.
I actually agree, even if you were being funny. I like Lexana, except for the whole fake baby thing. I thought they fit well with each other.

I dont think anyone agrues that clarks emotions at the end were unwaranted. :\
I mean...I do feel horrible for Lana. When we found out that she could feel pain...all I could think about was her poor hand. I cant imagine having to stand there...feel my hand being scorched, and not being able to move.
I think most on these boards to feel for Lana....but if her being in this state furthers the story line, then I'm all for it. Plain and simple.

You don't have to like Lana but you don't have to bash her so hard either. Lana won't be in Smallville much since she is leaving the show so give it a rest.

I haven't liked Lana since season 2-ish. I haven't found her character relevant to the storyline since she "died" in the season finale last year. Did I go "hells yeah" when I saw that she was catatonic? No, I didn't. Even though I hate the character, I didn't jump for joy because I was too engrossed in the storyline. I gasped and pointed at the screen, saying "no you di'int!"
I'm not all "yay Lana's catatonic" because I'm more "Lana's shoehorned into the storyline yet again, oh yay /endsarcasm". I'm tired of Lana forever being the victim in everything. I'm fed up, not ecstatic.
But do I find people who ARE happy about all this Lana stuff "warped, demented, and downright nasty"? Absolutely not. Because a) everyone's entitled to their own opinions, and b) it's just a fictional chacter. Show me anyone here who would say the same about a real life person, then we're talking demented and warped.

Besides, Brainiac said he was the only one that could reverse it. So it isn't something that should be considered permanent.

The thing that was cool for me was the WAY Lana was involved in the storyline.
Here's the thing. I'm not a huge fan of how Clana has been portrayed on the show over the years. I was open to it in the beginning, it was okay, and they were cute. But the on/off switch made it a recycled storyline for over 6 years, killing it for me quickly. And I think they made Lana a bit insipid and pathetic in her quest to learn about Clark, and they made Clark a wuss when dealing with Lana. It's that 6 years thing, my eyes used to glaze over. But I ask, can anyone blame me? The way it was done was a bit much, I think everyone, even Clana fans can agree with that. I'm more of a storyline kinda guy, and I felt it detered from the storyline. I think the various writers over the years could have done it a lot better, with much more creativity. If they want to create good drama, don't do the same thing over and over again. And that's what I hate about Clana, I think it could have been handled better.
Here's the thing, Clana has become interesting to me the last 2 seasons. When Lana was with Lex, that was new! It was an incredibley interesting storyline for me because for years she felt like this romantic B storyline for me. Being involved with Lex pulled her into the mythos and actually allowed her to really participate, like Chloe has been for years.
This season it has been the best Clana ever for me! Because after all the years of whining, they are finally saying the things they should have been saying. Lana knows Clark's secret and is involved in the storyline. Clark and Lana are calling each other out on the other's BS. Lana's no longer on a pedestal anymore. Clark is no longer this great secret.
The way Lana was in this episode was particularly good because they actually involved her very subtley, very amazingly, very deeply, into his Kryptonian storyline. This is so much better than looking for crystals or whining in the background for honesty. I've wanted to see this for years. Yeah, Clana still isn't my favorite thing in the world, but they way it's used now actually makes me happier because it's creative and original. There is no on again/off again stuff. It's just responsibile storytelling, which is what I have wanted all along. I actually really felt horrible for the torture she's going through right now, but this time it's a riveting story, which has me eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Like any good piece of fiction, the characters are percieved in either a good or bad light - depends upon the viewer. I think your scope is too wide. I personally appreciated seeing something happen to someone not so nice (Lana). It isn't as if I would have the same feeling towards someone in real life. It has everything to do with Clark being detatched and moving into the direction of understanding his role as SUPERMAN. It has nothing to do with the actors who play the part. If they are reading these posts, I'd think they'd be happy that the character they are playing is even being mentioned at all. We aren't talking about the actors acting ability - we are talking about the plot.

I don't feel good or bad about what happened to her but if people feel good about it I think is their right. Lana has got on many people nerves during all this years and this is the payback.
She is just a fictional character I think is ok to hate her and wish her bad things on the show is not like anyone is saying this about the lovely Kristin Kreuk that most of us like even though we can't stand the character she sadly is portraying...What kind of site would this be if wern't allowed to hate Lana do I need to go to Superman Homepage to play smashlana now? :rolleyes.

I don't believe that is true. Like any good piece of fiction, the characters are percieved in either a good or bad light - depends upon the viewer. I think your scope is too wide. I think the viewers appreciated seeing something happen to someone not so nice (Lana). It has nothing to do with the actors who play the part. If they are reading these posts, I'd think they'd be happy that the character they are playing is even being mentioned at all.
I agree all actors want to emotionally connect with their audience so all this Lana hate should flatter KK a lot. I mean even on the reality shows the hated people is the one more remembered so I don't think she feels bad she knows we like her but hate Lana.

I am happy that Lana being out of commission means that we won't have to see as much of her character, because I do honestly have a hard time appreciating the scenes with her in them nowadays.
But here I have a problem.
I don't want this to be the way that Clark and her break up, because it does not show Clark growing out of his love for her. With that would come maturity. If he ends up loving someone else, it will feel as if it's because he couldn't get who he wanted--Lana. Anyone else will just be that poor replacement to the person he has always loved and "always will".
It really makes me disgusted that this is how the writers have ended up constructing the show. We have seen over and over and over that all Clark wants is Lana and that he has passed everyone else up for that desire. Even when he thought that it was over, he realized he still loved her! I mean with that, how are they EVER going to convince us that he has moved on?
I doubt he'd just walk away because she's not in her right state. If he did, it would be pretty cruel and OOC of him, and Clark would feel way too guilty in my opinion to fall for anyone else when Lana is in this pain and unable to be herself. Especially when we know that as of right now, he is probably fully blaming himself for her suffering. How would he really bring himself to hurt her like that when she wakes up, if he thinks he is the cause of her pain in the first place?
I think that having Lana be catatonic is really just stalling their development: where the two could be shown effectively growing apart and going their separate ways. This event means that it will just be postponed, which is really the last thing that we need after having to experience their excruciatingly dragged-out relationship of seven seasons...that will now be going on eight. *shudders*

Its the actors that brings the characters to life, whether you hate the character or not.

KK the actress is cool, but even she can't be a miracle worker with what she's given.

I literally danced when I saw Lana in the wheelchair with the glazed eyes. I even IM'd a couple of people that I was doing a jig :lol:
One of the greatest moments for me as someone fed up with the Lana character. It doesn't even have to stick. I'm just happy that it might be the end of something Clana related! :D
I predict my "Die Clana" dance will soon be posted on youtube with about 309887 hits. As many SV fans love anything that hints the end of Clana. lol
x infinity!

My problem isn't with Kristin, I guess it's not even with Lana, it's with the way the idiots (TPTB) have written her to be so damn clingy and needy. They royally messed up her character in the first few seasons, and just have not been able to fix it.
It doesn't help that they shoehorn her into every arc with these ridiculous skills she shouldn't have, and that've never been mentioned before in the show.

I liked the episode, I even liked what happens to Lana because I'm more concerned with the interesting story than the character. However, seeing all these "I'm so glad Brainiac did that to Lana", "seeing Lana like that rocked", etc. posts are seriously warped, demented, and downright nasty.
Agree all the way, Midgard. :mad: Dammit, don't kick people when they're down! --even if you've become so desensitized by seeing hundreds of kickings. Wait 'til they get up at the very least.
I'm just stating my opinion on the opinion of others. Is that allowed in free speech? :confused:
:( I hope Lana is alright. I hope Brainiac was lying when he called the process excruciatingly painful. I feel bad for Clark and pretty much for everyone. Tonight was a good eppy but the scenario was ugly for Lana and Lionel.

I've been seeing posts everywhere going, "I've never been a Clana hater but....it's time they broke up". You know it's getting bad when you see that. lol
Man, you are so right......I have been noticing posts like that for a while now.
You know it's getting bad when you see that.
LOL....great comment.
I haven't liked Lana since season 2-ish. I haven't found her character relevant to the storyline since she "died" in the season finale last year. Did I go "hells yeah" when I saw that she was catatonic? No, I didn't. Even though I hate the character, I didn't jump for joy because I was too engrossed in the storyline. I gasped and pointed at the screen, saying "no you di'int!"
I'm not all "yay Lana's catatonic" because I'm more "Lana's shoehorned into the storyline yet again, oh yay /endsarcasm". I'm tired of Lana forever being the victim in everything. I'm fed up, not ecstatic.
Well I wish I'd had a season to like Lana. But Nope, I've hated the character since season 1, episode numero uno. And YES, when I first saw Brainiac pierce into Lana's head I thought she would (SHOULD) die because that is what happened to every OTHER character that Brainiac has done that to...but no Lana is of course special....
So YES, my heart did skip a beat in excitment at the thought of her possible death and after the initial excitment I really did ask myself "Should I be happy about this? Is it sick?" but then I saw Lana in the kitchen with the wierd eyes, something terribly wrong with her, and I could not help but let a small smile settle on my face.
It is BECAUSE, like you stated (perfectly) Robyn, Lana's shoehorned into the storyline yet again, oh yay. LOL...I'm so sick of it. I too am forever tired of Lana being the victim. It is exhausting. So yes when I saw that there might be an end to her storyline, I celebrated with a smile.
But do I find people who ARE happy about all this Lana stuff "warped, demented, and downright nasty"? Absolutely not. Because a) everyone's entitled to their own opinions, and b) it's just a fictional chacter. Show me anyone here who would say the same about a real life person, then we're talking demented and warped.
Thank you. Let's get real people. What you feel or want to happen to a fictional character is not the same as the horror of it happening in real life. That is why we cheer in movies when the "good" guy gets revenge by murdering every person that killed his family. We cheer because it's not real. We obviously would never wish that to happen out in real life.....those that would....like you said...then we're talking demented and warped.
