Season 5 Screen Time Minutes

[myankskent]

Lana apperead a lot in Reckoning. I'm really surprised by that. I felt like she was 30 minutes in Thirst, but she was just 15-16 minutes

I think that Lana appeared in every scene with Lex and most of the scenes with Clark in "Reckoning", so that's probably why she had so much screentime. I'm a little surprised by "Thirst" as well, but there were other things going on in this episode, like the stuff with Fine, Lex/Clark, Chlark and Chloe/Kahn.

[BadToad]

Thirst is very deceptive. Lana did have the most scenes, but most of them are very short. Clark has one less scene, but his scenes were longer.

Lana's screentime got a big boost in Reckoning due to the long trip to the FOS scene at the beginning. It was very long for a SV scene, almost 4 1/2 minutes.

And just one additional fact, Lana appears in 13 scenes in Thirst, and 12 scenes in Reckoning.

Lex's 29m 37s in Lexmas and Chloe's 26m 2s in Tomb would be hard to beat as "most air time in an episode" for these two characters.

[marcella]

I think Chloe has beaten the time in Tomb with Abyss. I think she was in 29 minutes in that episode

Cool, thanks marcella.

[BadToad]

skully, go in the S2 thread. Everyone's screentime high is there.

[AgentChaos]

Lana had more then Lex in several seasons. More often then not, in fact.

Out of the 6 seasons you have numbers for, Season 3 is the only one where Lex's average is higher than Lana's.

Thanks again BT. It's an awesome list.

Hey badtoad, when brainiac appears as jonathan, do you count that as screentime for brainiac or jonathan?

[BadToad]

Thats screentime for Brainiac. If he was possessing Jonathan, like he infected Chloe in S8, then that would count as Jonathan time. But in this case, it literally was Brainiac just wearing a Jonathan Kent disguise. Not Jonathan time.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Thanks BadToad

Those 43 seconds in Vengeance for Jonathan is truly heartbreaking

Still miss him...

[BadToad]

I miss Pa Kent too. At least those 43s were for one of the most heart wrenching SV moments ever. They were 43s well spent.

[Seeya'round Smallville]

When I did my compiling with your awesome numbers I did it by actor, so I went and did John Schneider's time myself for Oracle and he had 5m, 29s. When I add up his total numbers I got a way different total than your 117m + though for him. For 12 episodes (not counting Oracle) I had 76m, 14s and counting Oracle (13 eps for JS) I had 81m, 43s.

Highest averages in bold.

Normally, if a character has more than one episode with their highest average, like for example Lois' average was highest after Exposed and it stayed the same for Splinter, only the first one is noted. But because Lana's highest average was split by several appearances, both episodes are noted.

[Supsfan]

Not to be picky BT, but you ever going to do Season 1?
