Well, Clana ruined a perfectly good episode last night. So, why wouldn't casual fans tune out if they don't like Lana/ClanaComment

Personally, I think a large part of the season's momentum in ratings was due to Clois. I think they deserve more weight then they get credit for. Next weeks number will go down even further. And they'll begin rising again with Infamous. But, the timing sucks, and I hope they already have S9 in the bag. I also hope the general audience didn't feel like suckers for coming back just to receive a bate & switch marketing tactic. It's really a cruel joke to be played on audiences.
--L&C original show did something similar with their wedding episode and ratings plummeted when they realized Clark married a clone. I really liked that plot though, but it's besides my point.Comment

Whenever I responded to these thread is to prove that there's been a lot of episodes that featured Lana and Clana that have done very well in the ratings and episodes that had hardly any that brought the ratings down.
But if you helps people sleep at night thinking the ratings go down on Smallville because of Clana/Lana, then nothing that can disprove that will be taken to account.
Lana hasn't been on this series the first half of this season and the ratings for this series weren't better than season 6 or 7 or 5 or 4 or 2 or 3.
Nor did they go up every episode, they're been a lot up and down with the numbers.
Yet, if that can be accepted even though there was no Lana/Clana in those episodes, why is the blame quickly put on Lana/Clana for the drop in this episode?
And if the ratings go up next week and the week after that, I can see the praises being put on anyone but Clana/Lana. It's just how it's always been, since season two when people start over analyzing the ratings.
Lets be honest about Bulletproof. Who knew, outside the spoilers group, that Dan Turpin would be here? Who knew that Clark would infiltrate the cops? Bulletproof promotion sucked balls. The only promotion we got was Clark Kent being arrested for Jones' shooting.Comment

I really don't see the point in blaming a relationship or character on this decline because then I could very easily turn everything around and say that Clark's undercover story was the reason for the decline, the A plot in this episode and something that was mentioned in the official description. Would that make sense? Not IMO. For this episode, it just can't be compared to "Legion". "Legion" had Doomsday, Brainiac and the LOSH. It also had a lot of promotion with interviews and magazine articles written about it. You can't expect an episode like "Bulletproof" to match that, I don't care how many members of the cast are in the episode or what relationship the episode was going to feature. JMHO.Comment

Interesting:
Early Ratings
The CW capped off the evening with its combination of Smallville (#5: 2.5/ 4), which seems to have perked up in recent weeks, and the compatible Supernatural (#5: 2.1/ 3).

Well apparently character/storyline regression isn't the only thing Lana-Fu is influencing here!
Looks like we have ratings regression as well.Last edited by Mickey_Bickey; 01-23-2009, 09:49 AM.Comment

Not really. The show have proven that all these years as been ALL ABOUT CLARK. Clark = ratings, ratings = Clark.
I know it, I have been on these ratings thread for years now.Comment

"Bloodline" aired during the first half of the season. The ratings on Smallville always decrease in the second half. That's just the way it is. IMO, that's why "Legion" didn't do as well, that and the fact that it was the first episode right out of the gate after a hiatus.Comment

That would be cool. So, they can have Lex on the show in Armor, thus not needing the actor?Comment
