Loved it? Hated it? What did you think of "Power?"

[Routh]

Please do not vote until after the episode airs, and please respect the opinions of others.

[superhippie2000]

thread will open when episode airs :D

[Ginx]

Have to be honest, I didn't enjoy this story arc at all. I gave it a 3/10. One of the lowest rated episodes for me for SV ever :(

[Loisdragon]

The directing is good but I hated the Episode. I give it a 4

[LiLViLLiaN]

Tess was good. Only thing I enjoyed. Creepy when she bashed that guys head in.

[eas]

Mack did a decent job... but I hated it.

[FLyxNERD]

love this episode

[melissan02]

I gave it a 1 WORST!!!

I'm done with this show and PS3!!!!:mad: 70 years of Superman thrown down the tubes!!

Shakes head in disgust....CLARK!...CLARK!!.....CLARK!!

End the series NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[kg1507]

I loved it. I loved the story, the dialogue, the camera angles, everything was amazing... EXCEPT EVERYTHING CLANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZODisGOD]

It was better than I thought. This episode really ties well with last season. Like last week, it was a great episode with a failed ending.

[spideyfan]

directing of the epi was good for what the epi was...props to allison on that...

however, the episode was lame and i hope lana dies...

4/10

[Lilah]

AM did a good job but the episode they gave her... seriously... anyone else felt like they were watching a preview for Street Fighter instead of Smallville??????? AH! And that kiss at the end.... ugh!!! I did like Clark in the beginning though, and I almost wish Chloe wasn't there to tell him otherwise for the first time.... I've set it before and I'll say it again.... This episode was very unnecessary!!!!!! I gave it a 1!!!!! I feel like Clark Kent isn't going to be Superman but Pete Ross or something... yuck!!!

[mrkent]

:mad:wow, what a slap in the face to the Lois & Clark we all love , on the roof top of the Daily Planet??? you got to be kidding me!!!

[kszonew]

This episode was in the middle for me. Why? I just hope IF we see Lex again it won't somehow be "prometheus" suit Lex. I don't care if it's from the comics, the first seven seasons did a wonderful job of making a manipulative human Lex Luthor. No need to freak him up. I hope those blueprints are truly destroyed. Other than the negative prospect of what could come, like most of this season, it wasn't awful but it wasn't THAT great.

[JEWCY]

loved it, another solid episode with an awesome ending!

good use of bringing back characters like regan and grohl

got lots of questions answered and more to come.

[lifelovedestiny]

I gave it a 6. Tess was awesome, and the directing along with the lighting and camera angles and such rocked, but the Lana drama, not feeling it.

[lovinredkclark]

I HATED IT. the writers stretch too far. they tried to make lana leaving into something that they though would be interesting. well guess what it wasn't.
this ep had the worst story line and the most unbelievable, also the WORST ENDING EVER.

after watching this crap tonight, i can safely say, i don't care how sexy tom welling is, if this is how the rest of the season will be I'M NOT WATCHING.

i gave this ep 1. it was really really bad, even worse than 'sleeper' and thats saying something. IMO.

oh tess was good though

[Darth Pipes]

It was a fairly interesting story until Clark got pathetic at the end. I've said it before but it's important for his character to be the one to end the relationship with Lana. But I have no faith the writers will allow him to do so.

Clark annoyed me once again when he got in Chloe's face for not telling him about Lana. So, Clark...have you told Chloe about mind raping her yet? Chloe didn't tell you about Lana but it's not like...you know...she wiped away your memory!

Tess was smokin hot. Some good action here, like with Lana escaping. Nice to see Regan again although letting Tess stare at that heavy object for 90 minutes before she picked it up is what got him killed.

[lovinredkclark]

I gave it a 1 WORST!!!

I'm done with this show and PS3!!!!:mad: 70 years of Superman thrown down the tubes!!

Shakes head in disgust....CLARK!...CLARK!!.....CLARK!!

End the series NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:


i'm right behind ya

[luvinChlark]

This episode is not even worth responding to. Wow. Just wow. PS3 total fail.

[zorasuperman]

honestly i didnt like it
i only gave it a 3 because of allison's directing
other than that the lana arc was POINTLESS! shes leaving in the next episode or so and im sooo mad that i cant even remember when shes leaving. i do like lana as a character, she has progressed and is strong. but her with clark does not make any sense at all. how in the world is clark kent supposed to be superman with lana? his future wife is lois lane, not lana. god. i like the part of him sving ppl but lana wanting to be a super man or superwoman wanna be does not make ANY SENSE.

[ErinN]

I'm disappointed. I thought the directing was very good, Allison did a wonderful job.

Other than that...I'm not happy with the way the story is going with Lana back in town.

[shamville]

i hate it too much lana mess. I wish chloe would told clark she kill a person.

[ginevrakent]

I thought Allison did a fine job as a director and the acting was good overall. Besides those two things, this episode was so horrible. I never thought I could hate an episode as much I hated this, but I did.

How can this show come back from this?

[amberdawn]

I think it was one of the worst episodes I've seen yet :lol:

[Darth Pipes]

Awesome scene when Tess beat Regan to death.

Mack did a really good job as director.

[TayLaneBloom]

please god.
shoot me


all i can say!

70 years of history, of love, for nothing!

they killed a mythology, a superman, a love of a lifetime!

[lm1212]

It really hurts me to do it, but I give the episode a 1.
I know it's really not accurate, it might deserve a 3 or a 4, but I'm so upset, I just have to give it a 1. I was fine with bulletproofs ending, but I obviously interpreted Clarks face at the end of bulletproof wrong, because, here, again, we have more Clana. It would be smart of the writers to have their "thing" slowly winding down, not repeating, growing. No.
That's freaking stupid.
My opinion of course, I know some people like the Clana thing.
But, most people don't.
It's not doing the show much good. At all.
The direction, I will say, was good. I just wish AM could have done an episode that actually had a decent story-line.
What are they going to do next?
How is Lois going to tie in?
I see Clois starting, in all the wrong ways. Lana, abruptly leaves, and Clark being, stuck with Lois.
That would ruin everything for me. Everything.
It kills me, this season started of so great, beyond great. But now, I don't know what to think.
They ruined everything with one episode.

[eas]

I thought Allison did a fine job as a director and the acting was good overall. Besides those two things, this episode was so horrible. I never thought I could hate an episode as much I hated this, but I did.

How can this show come back from this?

It can't. It really can't.

I can almost hear AlMiles laughing their a$$es off in the background.

Lanaville, indeed.

[beatles4]

A few redeeming factors, but not so great an episode. Nice job of directing debut by Allison Mack. Tess had some good acting moments. I just knew the writers had a reason for last week's upsetting kiss scene! We have March to look forward to at least.

[6-Super-Man -5]

I'll be nice and give it a 3/10.
Only thing good was the trailer at the end of the episode.

[STFanatic]

I am at a loss for words.
I will watch it again later and decide.

[Darth Pipes]

It can't. It really can't.

I can almost hear AlMiles laughing their a$$es off in the background.

Lanaville, indeed.

This story arc has really derailed the season.

[biggkoz]

I gave it a 1 WORST!!!

I'm done with this show and PS3!!!!:mad: 70 years of Superman thrown down the tubes!!

Shakes head in disgust....CLARK!...CLARK!!.....CLARK!!

End the series NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Yeah this episode was a what the heck is going on here. And people are begging for a season 9 haha. :confused:

[rysamad]

I loved it!!

[ledzepfan23]

This episode was awesome i give it a 9. Everyone needs to stop bashing it just because their was clana in it.

[IheartCJK]

Holy sites disgraced, 70 years COMPLETELY disrespected, I'd give this episode a -4.

[AndiGirl]

I gave it a 6. Tess was awesome, and the directing along with the lighting and camera angles and such rocked, but the Lana drama, not feeling it.

I agree. I didnt hate it at first....but then they just kept taking it too far. I kept thinking "Ok, it will turn around now....start going in another direction" but it never did. :\

I loved the directing. Like you said, the new angles....lighting, it gave it a much more intament feeling.

But sadly the episode was just a dud, and frankly weird.... :(

Tess was awesome though!!

[Dustmite]

So from everything I've read about it, I was completely wrong to hope for the best :\

I'm going to watch it for AM but...

[I_Heart_L&C]

Hi guys...been a bit of a lurker here for a while, but after watching tonights episode I was just compelled beyond all reason to post.... Um, absolutely, positively HATED IT! All I can say is WTF! Lana...Superpowers...The utter desecration of the iconic Daily Planet roof with Lana and Clark sucking face!?! Where do we go from here?? I give up!:mad:

[AndiGirl]

This episode was awesome i give it a 9. Everyone needs to stop bashing it just because their was clana in it.

Thats not the reason I didnt like it, infact I thought their last scene was some what cute.
I was enjoying it until the last 20 minutes or so....then it just went down hill from there.

[mrw66855]

I rate this episode 3 or something. I do not know where to begin. Should I start with the fact that they have made the devil insane and evil and Clark does not even see it. To top it off. I think next week they are going to kill the devil off the show, which be a good thing, but it makes Lois look like a 2nd choice. And they are going to lose a lot of viewers because of it. Maybe me as well, think I will wait until infamous to see if at all they can recover. How come they have to have them kiss yet again. I thought when they started this episode would be positive. But I was wrong. What was the fact of wasting screen time with the devil cutting her hair. I thought Clark would be overheard by the end of this episode. And yet they still managed to ruin his character. Yet again. Horrible episode, worst of the season. Like I said, I might wait until infamous or possibly the season finale. But if there is another season in last they came as fully recover. The damage done over the last 5 episodes I still watch it but if they do not I am done. To all those Lois and Clark fans I think our worst fears have been realized.

[TayLaneBloom]

i never got so disapointed with Smallville!

this was just ridiculous!

in the HQ's Lana in nothing!
really, nothing!

they're making such a mistake with this...

Lois became almost nothing, and Lana, the Supergirl, ready to save the world, to be superior.
it's so stupid!

[Jaded Wolf]

I think this episode was probably a huge setback to the momentum this season had going. No offense to Allison Mack because I love her dearly but this was not a good episode for her to begin her directing career. I'm not sure if it was the writing or the directing but this episode was flat. Clark from the beginning regressed back to the lows of last season and Lana almost made me want to vomit. I lost interest in this episode quickly and started surfing the internet to pass the hour until CSI came on. Now I'm only next episode can pick the momentum back up. I gave this one a 2 though I wanted to give it a 1. I was being too nice.

[tyson08]

Horrible, horrible. Giving Lana super-human powers (I know it's from the suit, that doesn't change anything), having Lana assume her and Clark are equal, Lana worshiping left and right, and Clark still in love with Lana. I gave this a 3/10. I never give episode a low rating but this just pissed me off. It's a horrible decision by the writers and I really should have never watched it.

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

AM did a decent job of directing....but the story arc was ridiculous...I don't want to see Lana Lang with powers are you kidding me! And the last scene of Clark and Lana on the DP roof kissing! So Lana gains powers so she can be with Clark whoophi!:rolleyes: Pathetic...

Isn't the DP roof supposed to be a special spot for Lois and Clark...now its just ruined!

The whole time I was watching the scene I was wondering if Lana was gonna fall of the damn roof:lol:....oh well:\

[reobeem]

I think everyone now knows how evil Lex is. Look at what he did without doing anything. Hereing everyone talk about power made me think of that theme from the Electric Company. In spite of what the episode was about Allison did a good job directing. By the looks of it Tess is trying to redeem herself and I'm kinda feeling sorry for her. I'm not too thrilled about Lana and that super armor but not too much damage could be done with only one episode left. As for Clark he needs to step up otherwise he won't become the hero we want him to be. It looks like our worst fears were realized they are useing a body double for Lex.

[darkone]

Hey Allison. That last scene? [Mod Edit] amazing. I doubt Marshall or Welling could've done better. The story was a bit confusing but I loved the continuity and also the non-existance of Lois.

[Flash_85]

This episode blew. Season 4 quality garbage. [Mod Edit] it. What the hell are they doing.

[Kid Collins]

Lana getting superpowers to help the world and have her finally stop being a victim is fitting storyline for her.

KK looked gorgeous and she and Cassidy Freeman were great in their action scenes.

And thank you TPTB for giving Clana's a huge gift in the last 5 minutes! I wish PS3 were in charge of last season. I think Clana would've been written so much better than what AlMiles threw at us.

I rate it a 10 for the Clana. :D

[mrw66855]

i never got so disapointed with Smallville!

ita

[AgentChaos]

I gave it a 7. Superb directing by Allison and great acting from the cast, especially Cassidy, but the story was a little weak and I'm not thrilled with Lana having those powers.

[Fallen One]

Still think I was wrong in calling it a nightmare in the countdown thread? DO YOU???!

[skylar]

How can i rate this episode without giving it a bad rating. Because Allison
did a wonderful job and I'm proud of her. I said bulletproof was a -1 in my opinion. Just
because i like Allison I'd give it a 5.

[ledzepfan23]

Thats not the reason I didnt like it, infact I thought their last scene was some what cute.
I was enjoying it until the last 20 minutes or so....then it just went down hill from there.
ok, what did you feel was so bad about it then?

I am waiting till infamous and if that gives me any hope maybe the rest of the season but unless that happens I am done to

[Timester]

Still think I was wrong in calling it a nightmare in the countdown thread? DO YOU???!

I told you about my hunch last week. :p

[rissaroo689]

i like clana and this episode was horrible.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

This episode was awesome. 10/10!

[xHerox]

I know that I am probably being too generous, but I gave this episode a '7' -- though I have to be honest and state that it is more because of the directing and overall look of the episode as opposed to the actual plot. I actually don't mind including Lana in storylines again but I felt as though there was too much focus placed on her in this episode -- especially considering the fact that she is no longer a main cast member. I also thought that some aspects of the plot could have been tightened to create a slightly stronger story, but it will still nice to explore some backstory all the same.

Nevertheless, I thought Allison Mack did a great job directing this episode and I really hope she gets another opportunity to direct should the show go on for another season; I really think that she could do great directing an episode with a stronger script, to be honest. There were some cool effects in this episode as well, though there wasn't anything that we hadn't seen before.

Ultimately this episode was certainly not one of the show's best, but I do not think that it was quite as bad as some are stating. In addition, I think my opinion of this episode will be altered depending on how the current storyline with Lana is handled because I can forgive an episode a bit if it is absolutely necessary to set up future storylines.

[FLyxNERD]

10/10 awesome episode

[mrw66855]

Still think I was wrong in calling it a nightmare in the countdown thread? DO YOU???!

No you were not wrong but look at the bright side it looks like they are going to kill off the devil. Next week. (As much as I can be the bright side, considering that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">Clark</st1:place> will probably think it is his fault and cry like little baby over her death.)

[AgentChaos]

Still think I was wrong in calling it a nightmare in the countdown thread? DO YOU???!

Yes, I do. Committed was a nightmare. Instinct was a nightmare. This one wasn't.

[ledzepfan23]

This episode was awesome. 10/10!
finally someone agrees

[tyson08]

Still think I was wrong in calling it a nightmare in the countdown thread? DO YOU???!

You were spot on. What a horrible way to destroy the great story of pre-Superman.

[daxam77]

I gave it a very generous "4." It does look like they backtracked with the Lana storyline and insulted the whole Lois relationship royally.

But all it would take to rectify this is for Clark to find out how Lana has killed and that she is obviously now a very ruthless human being and not at all the girl he fell for in the first place.

You kind of have to excuse Clark for that willingness to find the good in people and ignore the bad (he is, after all, Clark!), but it's about time he woke up to the truth about his "first love."

I'm still for another season though. Just bring back the Legion! (and Oliver, and Lois...)

[Routh]

I hated it.

I'm not just saying that. Abyss was bad. Promise was epically horrible.

But this. Words cannot even describe.

[hemmy]

You guys are hilarious, this episode was much better than the garbage in season 6

[k3josai]

I gave it a 1 WORST!!!

I'm done with this show and PS3!!!!:mad: 70 years of Superman thrown down the tubes!!

Shakes head in disgust....CLARK!...CLARK!!.....CLARK!!

I'm with you... If they can't make better episodes until the end of Season 8,
Start another show... Maybe I'll give it a title:

METROPOLIS!!!

Save Superman from a total disgusting SVCLARK...
:mad:

[ims001]

Haven't posted before, but just had to after this one.
IMHO, this was the worst episode of Smallville, ever!
I probably wouldn't have minded it so much in an earlier season, but this season had started so strong. It's really sad to see them crash and burn so badly.

Sorry Allison, you may be a good Director, but no one could have made anything decent out of the pile of crap that was this episode's script.

Until last week, I was so hoping for a Season 9. Last week I wasn't so sure. After tonight I just as soon have them end Smallville now, and not even finish the season.

Enough damage has been done!

End.

Smallville.

NOW!!!!

[JFalcon]

I loved it. I hope Lana kicks butt.

Super Lana Rules!!!

[tyson08]

Nothing can be worse than the writers having Lana become "equal" (her words not mine) to Clark. It's sad to see Smallville going down this route.

[Nunn]

They’ve officially Deified Lana Lang. Catapulted her to the status of one of the most powerful figures in the DC universe. Stronger and faster than Wonder Woman and Supergirl. Superman’s equal. I’m feeling just a little sickened.

And I can only hold out hope that the Prometheus technology somehow ends up failing.

[Timester]

Nothing can be worse than the writers having Lana become "equal" (her words not mine) to Clark. It's sad to see Smallville going down this route.

She is officially nuts. That's why I don't mind what she says anymore.

Now, I do mind with what CLARK says...

[RedKRules]

Ok, this episode s.u.c.k.e.d ......

[tyson08]

She is officially nuts. That's why I don't mind what she says anymore.

Now, I do mind with what CLARK says...

I just don't understand them wanting to make Lana this huge hero, out to save the world and become the heroine of the story.

Another thing that pisses me off, Clark was in this episode for like 15 minutes.. what the hell? Lana was probably in it for 25 minutes. It's horrible. No one wants to watch that, we want Clark being the hero.

[Timester]

I just don't understand them wanting to make Lana this huge hero, out to save the world and become the heroine of the story.

She is not, she is crazy. That's the silver line of all this. NO ONE in their right mind wakes up in the morning and says "I want to be like Clark", unless it's Lex. And since Lex is crazy...

[Lurchdaddy87]

[Mod Edit] ... this was a pretty good episode. It tied up some loose ends left from last years "strike" shorten season. Smallville has been putting its spin on the DC Universe since season 1. Chloe the girl we al love she does not even exist in the Superman mythos.

Lana having superpowers wont last, next week is the last episode for Lana to be on the show. I dont like Clark crying over Lana either, but he's not even suspose to know Lois Lane yet so them getting together is not gonna happen on this show either.

Every episode cant be a 10 there has to be some filler episodes. There is a reason for everything it opens doors for the rest of the season. So just wait.

[ledzepfan23]

I gave it a 1 WORST!!!

I'm done with this show and PS3!!!!:mad: 70 years of Superman thrown down the tubes!!

Shakes head in disgust....CLARK!...CLARK!!.....CLARK!!

End the series NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
End the series? Are you serious? Even if you didnt like this episode why would you say end the series. This is one of the best seasons in the shows history and just because you dont like this episode you say end the series? Really?

[tyson08]

She is not, she is crazy. That's the silver line of all this. NO ONE in their right mind wakes up in the morning and says "I want to be like Clark", unless it's Lex. And since Lex is crazy...

:lol:

It just drives me nuts, along with many others.

[JFalcon]

Imra said that Lana was destined to be great in her on right. Did you think she was lying?

[ClarkyBoy14]

I liked the Tess stuff, and the continuity with bringing back Dr. Grohl and Regan and mentioning some other past stuff was cool. AM did a really good job in her directorial debut--I hope she gets to do another one next season. And the beginning of Lana's flashback story was good (and KK's short haircut rocked!).

However, her story just became weird at the end. Now Lana is basically a female version of Clark Kent? Sorry, but that's just too silly. And I also hated how Clark acted like such a jerk to Chloe, Tess and Lana's trainer.

5/10. My lowest score ever, I think.

[DAISHI]

Show's starting to suck again. Hated last week's and this one was barely 'meh'.

[tyson08]

Pretty much Lana=Supergirl, in PS3's eyes. Amazing.

[JFalcon]

No, I think Lana has become Wonder Woman. So, look out Batman here comes Super Lana.

[LovelyLoisLane]

This was too much of an Ultimate Mary Sue fan fiction, in episodic form.

Turning Lana into Wonder Woman is just too much. I can only suspend my disbelief so far.

[I_Heart_L&C]

I'm with you... If they can't make better episodes until the end of Season 8,
Start another show... Maybe I'll give it a title:

METROPOLIS!!!

Save Superman from a total disgusting SVCLARK...
:mad:



Can I just ask when exactly are we to expect the four horsemen of the apocalypse to breeze through, cuz after watching the travesty that unfolded tonight, surely the END is nigh! :(

[ClubXerxes]

The ONLY way this episode can be redeemed is if the following occurs:

1) Lana's new abilities come with a price tag - she is slowly killing Clark by poisoning him somehow
2) She realizes this, so she decides to end it - either in heroic fashion or by destroying herself
3) Clark is so broken, he decides to....


Oh who am I kidding - this was unredeemable garbage!

I was wrong - I thought their last kiss was not that passionate, but after watching this, I can only infer that he is still hanging on to the Countess Isabel Thoroughly Annoying like grim death...the notion of Superman I grew to admire as a child is being eaten away like a sweet delicate piece of candy in a hydrocloric acid bath.

What is Lois now??? Sloppy seconds? "Well Lois, I do really love you - I couldn't be with Lana because she poisoned me when I got near her. You don't - so you and I are cool- and we're soulmates, I guess." What the h-e-double hockey sticks???

How can we now believe that he will be in love with Lois in the near future? Even if they extended the series to Season 9, are we to believe that the 8 and one half year cringe fest that is Clana will give way to a one and a half year (or 16 episode) arc that will make us believe he has met his soulmate?


And what is this fascination with Lana Lang and giving her all of these special powers? First, the Countess - then the clone, then the equal of Lex Luthor...now this. Who is writing this, and what are they smoking?


Head - meet brick wall!


Oh - I hated it, in case anyone cares...:)

[JFalcon]

In DC Comics Lana has done a lot of things. Maybe you guys should read about Lana in the comics.

You are my kind of Clois fan :)

[TayLaneBloom]

and WTF was that "equal" history?

Lana Leng and equal to Clark Kent? the Superman?

they've totally forgot who Lana is in the HQ??
shes just a stupid girl, going after a guy she can't have!
no super powers, no great future, no nothing!

what about that? 70 years of pure sucess, beeing ignored!
hope Smallville drowned in the Clana arch. they're just waiting to go deeper and deeper, and i won't do nothing to stop it.

[Timester]

In DC Comics Lana has done a lot of things. Maybe you guys should read about Lana in the comics.

And retconned afterwords, for the same reason.

[JFalcon]

Only in Smallville was Lana Lang a "stupid girl". The writers of Smallville ruined Lana Lang's character. The whole story line is completely wrong. It's Smallville. If you want Superman, buy a comic book.

[TayLaneBloom]

he nearly got Superman killed!

2) She realizes this, so she decides to end it - either in heroic fashion or by destroying herself
3) Clark is so broken, he decides to....

I'll be so ticked off if that happens. That's not an end to Clana, and it doesn't bring any closure. It also makes Clois look bad.

[Kal El 12]

Clark was weak yet again...... the lana super powers angle is just dumb... the directing and shots were great, and mercy was good.... Clark will be very superman ish for like one episode than he reverts to a annoying crybaby wuss again... What's the deal with that can anyone explain??? And i've been watching since episode 1

[Carolina87]

Well Allison Mack you are amazing and as a Director you have a great future ahead of you.... but its not your fault that you where given such a horrible story to tell in this your directorial debut.

PS3 I wanted to have faith in you and I've been watching with much optimism this Lana Arc. Boy was i a fool to believe that you would have any respect for the Lois and Clark fan base. It is no mystery that I am an avid Lois and Clark supporter and i was thrilled to see that after past seasons of toying with us you guys were finally giving us what was long over due, Clois. The first half of this season i will say was and will forever by amazing to me. Not just because of the Lois and Clark developments but because of the fluidity, consistencies and great writing of episodes 1-10.

But what has been done during these last 3 episode is humiliating to the Lois and Clark Fan base. It's humiliating to the creators of Superman and the relationship, love, and bond that they establish 70 years ago between Clark and Lois. What happened Lois Lane's credibility? Her worth as a women? Or is Clark Kent just a jerk who toys around with peoples feelings? Why go through all the trouble of establishing such romantic tensions between those two or even go as far as have Clark attempt to kiss Lois when as soon as Lana Lang show her face Clark forgets about the world and only has eyes and ears for her?

How can you elevate our hopes and then in a matter of seconds destroy them with such a poorly though out story line about Lana Lang. I understand the need to give her character a proper farewell from the show and the need for closure in the dragged out Clark and Lana relationship. But this is the best you can come up with??

This episode proved one thing only: Clark Kent will never be able to let go of Lana Lang. After all that her characters has done; Secrets, Lies, Betrayal, Infidelity, marriage to his best friend, etc. I mean gosh you've managed to convinced me that if Clark Kent ends up with Lois Lane in this twisted Smallville Universe it won't be because of the Iconic Love that we know he has for her but because she just happened to be the rebound girl.

New Flash PS3: Lois Lane is no ones Rebound or Seconds. Once again in this twisted Smallville Universe she might end up being but there is no way in hell that she is anywhere else outside of this show. PS3, How will you manage to convince me *which i highly doubt you will in 1 one episode* that Clark Kent is forever over Lana Lang and ready to move on to his one and only true love Lois lane. I don't know but I will stick around to see.

I go to sleep tonight with such disappointment in my heart... I even feel ridiculous for being so upset over a show. I whole my opinions dear to my heart though and regardless of how insignificant they might seem to others i must let them be heard.

[Smallville6]

I gave it a 7! I really enjoyed this episode. I just wish there wasn't Clana *sigh*

[MJDSuperman]

only use of this episode is to make me realize tesses left eye brow is permenatly frozen in a upward position

am i the only one that noticed?

no realy this episode wasnt bad 7/10

[slimdogg23]

If you think about this eppy it is not as bad as we seem to think. Think back to the pilot eppy, the first time we saw clark look at lana, and from that moment on he has always put her on a pedestial. Granted their relationship was a roller coaster, I think this eppy helped both of them come to some sort of closure

[MJDSuperman]

woah i can quote my self

[supes0]

This was too much of an Ultimate Mary Sue fan fiction, in episodic form.

Turning Lana into Wonder Woman is just too much. I can only suspend my disbelief so far.

Yep. :rotfl:

[Starscream]

I've never been so bored with a episode since Quest of Season 7! I can't wait for Lana to leave and have Lois back! Allison did a FANTASTIC job of directing the episode,though!
Season 8 has been great so far,hopefully this one stinker of the season won't be followed by more!:rolleyes:

[kiki39]

I thought this episode was horrible, mostly because I could not for one minute buy into superhero Lana. I felt like this episode was all a ridiculous dream. I really, really wish the writers and producers could explain why they did this because I can see no rational explanation. This show is supposed to be about Clark and his journey. Lana is clearly mentally unstable (and a murder!) which makes it impossible for me to buy into her whole story arc.

You know what I saw tonight? The complete and utter emasculation of Clark Kent at the hands of Lana Lang. What happened to the Clark of the first 10 or so episodes? The reason I started watching this show was to see Clark's journey, but this was all about the wonderful martyrdom of Lana. I'm embarrassed for Clark and for the 70+ years of history that has been stomped on and mistreated. There is a reason the Clark Kent and Superman story is so enduring, and this, this episode especially felt like a slap in the face to a Clark Kent fan like myself.

I stopped watching this show in season 6 because I could no longer stomach this version of Clark. (I started watching again in Season 8 when I saw the characters I know and love.) But if next week's preview is anything to go by, I won't be able to stomach another annihilation of Clark's character. Lana as superhero and martyr?! Please, I can't even take that seriously. I'm tired of being jerked around by this show. I'm done.

Sorry PS3, you just lost a viewer. (Unless Lana's return was all an unnecessary bad dream and I wake up soon.)

[BadToad]

That was, without a doubt the most horrible, hideous, awful piece of garbage SV has ever produced. Wow. Words fail.

Is there something less then 1?

[Larel]

Ok so it seemed to you like this ep was somehow showing the Clana relationship as coming to an end?:\
I have not seen the ep so I cannot say either way but I have read that some think it looked like Clark was all about Lana & not wanting it to be the end!

[slimdogg23]

lana had to become her own woman, in which will actually help clark. I love lois as much as the next person, lets just all be patient and wait to see how requiem plays out.

[Larel]

That was, without a doubt the most horrible, hideous, awful piece of garbage SV has ever produced. Wow. Words fail.

Well since I missed the ep this may just be what I needed to make my decision to not bother watching it at all!:lol:
If there is so much Lana love coming from Clark I don't think I could handle it anyway, 1 hour of that crap may make me want to poke my own eyes out!:\

[oneeye]

Tess was boring as usual though her Dexter face when she killed that guy gave her potential for the first time. But Lana kicking butt at last was fun.

They need to bring back the L's , Lana Lex and somehow Lionel to bring the show back to its former glory.

I like Lois and all, but Lana has always been a more interesting love interest for Clark, covering new territory too.

[Karafan1]

I actually liked this episode, but I thought it was kinda strange. Tess killing that guy was surprising, and I'm still "on the fence" about the Lana having super powers thing. I'll give it a 5 out of 10..My lowest rating so far this year..Next week's episode looks much better..

[slimdogg23]

in the final scence clark pulled back a little as if not sure lana was all about doing good, remember in season seven she kidnapped linioel, nearly killed someone when she got clark's powers. she is too much the damstel in distress as she has been for seven seasons, she holds him back, lana said it herself during this eppy

[Lilah]

Seriously, that kiss at the end was a slap in the face to all Superman fans. That background should have been saved for the first time Clark flies, not for Lana and not even for Lois... It was like watching a fat kid on a diet get a piece of cake dangled in their face and you expect him to say no??????? I mean, am I watching a show about Clark Kent becoming Superman THE MAN OF STEEL... THE GREATEST SUPERHERO EVER... or am I watching a show about a teen boy in a grown man's body lusting after his high school sweetheart... if that's the case than for that I'd watch 90210 or One Tree Hill or hell Gossip Girl... one of those drama lama shows.... they killed the season for me... I was stoked about season 8 and I wanted a season 9... now... I'm not so sure. I'd rather they end the torture now!

And did anyone else notice there's ANOTHER kiss coming up next week???? I mean seriously... Clark makes out with his ex and then were to swallow that he's in love with someone else 3 weeks later... HELL NO! I won't take that and at this point, I hope they make Lois Lane's character with some extra backbone to tell him off and maybe kick him in the groin with a kryptonite stiletto! Do they make those... I think I'll go get myself a pair.... hmm...

Dear god I just saw in another thread that the reason Lana may be FORCED to leave Smallville & Clark is because she has an encounter with some green kryptonite & will become "toxic" to Clark so to speak?:\

So we will have to accept that the only reason Clark is no longer with Lana is due to a situation out of their control?
Please WTF is that about, how can they ever make Clois work this season or if there is a season 9 if they "end" Clana that way!:mad:

[kg1507]

Is there something less then 1?
0? :rotfl: kidding, kidding

[SouperboyX]

Oh, god yeah. A "Daily Planet" roof top kiss isn't just for anyone you know. I don't see why Lana could have just stayed the hell away and not even had come back. I don't care if Lois and Clark weren't gonna kiss but COME ON, why bring Lana back. It's like putting Superman to a hault because Clark now wants to apparently "Save the world" with her.


I gave this episode a 6. And there are a few expectations I wish for on the next episode:

1. Lana has to lose that freaking suit immediately
2. She is leaving in the next episode and has to tell Clark it's never going to happen.
3. She better not help Clark fight the Toyman
4. Clark and Lana should be about to Kiss, just for LOIS to walk in, see how they like it!

[Alicia Chipy]

AM did the best she could directing the sorry writen pap she got.
Congratulations to Allison and BOOOOOOOOOOOOs to the writing staff.

[double L]

The episode, again was very bad. Allison's directing was decent, but wtf, with the Clana?:confused:

[Smallvilledabest]

I absolutely loved it

THAT is my point exactly how the hell can we believe that he will be looking "lovingly" at Lois so soon after Lana leaves again!:rolleyes:

[batfinx]

I gave it a 1, but only because zero and/or negative numbers were not available. However, the rerun of Lois Kills Stewie before it was awesome :lol:

[ClubXerxes]

I'll be so ticked off if that happens. That's not an end to Clana, and it doesn't bring any closure. It also makes Clois look bad.

I don't - I was just venting - the only way they can redeem this is if Lana steps over the line in the next episode and Clark realizes that his "dream" is never going to amount to much more than that - a dream. I am now thinking that Lana is going to do something that will cause Clark to see her in a new - and negative light. He won't stop caring about her, but he will realize that Clana is dead. That will be the "Reqiuem"...IMO of course

[Sue Denim]

I enjoyed many parts of this episode, although, I do feel a lot of it was cheese. It's hard to be upset over the Daily Planet kiss when it was bathed in velveeta. What does make me happy is that long time Clana fans get a very nice, touching end, and I'm happy for that--because it's nice to see new faces.

What bothered me was Tess's character. I thought she was so much better than to be shown up by Lana. When she was kicking that guy, it reminded of Clark's visit into Lex's head in Fracture. The blood on the face, the beating...it was creepy and I didn't care for it.

I like the Lana/Trainer scene very much. I was convinced as a viewer that whatever Lana does in now or in the future, she's not the same person emotionally. Her character seemed to finally gain that grit I've always felt she lacked.

Allison, I think you did a great job with your script. There were a lot of edits that I was impressed with.

This was the first Lana episode I actually sort of liked. I think that AM must have brought out a naturalness in KK that I've never noticed before. Also, I really missed the old school Chlarkana.

6/10 for me, because I can think of several episodes that are much worse.

[marikology]

Well I've never been so glad to be a Chlarker. My ship is pretty-much immune to Clana and PS3 never promised me jack didly.

That said, the direction was great, GO Allison Mack! She got some real emotion out of Clark, (too bad it was almost all Clana angst) and it was a great ep to look at.

At least Lana didn't fly, lololol!

[Larel]

I don't - I was just venting - the only way they can redeem this is if Lana steps over the line in the next episode and Clark realizes that his "dream" is never going to amount to much more than that - a dream.

That will be the "Reqiuem"...IMO of course



Oh please god let that be what happens!

You are right though, Clark has got to take those blinder's off where Lana is concerned & it has to happen in the next ep so hopefully something happens that makes Clark realize that Clana are NOT meant to be & that it would never work & what they had is over because if they end it because something happens with Lana that "forces" her out of his life even though he doesn't want it to end then I may stop watching alltogther!:\

[Marfeic2011]

after watching this crap tonight, i can safely say, i don't care how sexy tom welling is, if this is how the rest of the season will be I'M NOT WATCHING.


AMEN! Tom has been the only thing that has been keeping me watching the last few episodes since "bride" - I said I wasn't going to watch tonight but I had nothing else to do so out or morbid curiosity I gave in...

I do want to say that I think Alison did a great job directing and that the special effects and acting were all really good, however...

I HATE HATE HATE HATE Clark's character now :mad: - I feel like he does not have a sense of his own identity or what he really wants - he seems to just go with the flow and let what others want determine what he wants - Lana dumps him so he cries and eventually warms up to Lois, who seemingly wouldn't haven't gotten the time of day if Lana had been around, as evidenced by the fact that the minute Lana shows up Lois literally disappears from his mind's eye - thrown away like so much garbage. Then clark regrets his impromptu kiss UNITL he gets wind of the fact that lana didn't want to break up - "well if she didn't really want to break uo than neither do I - oh lana I love you so much lets stay together forever and fight crime hand in hand" - someone shoot me!!!

He is so wishy washy and spineless that his character is not even attractive anymore in my eyes (which is really saying something since I think Tom is the sexiest man alive) - I don't even care if they do kill Lana off because its ultimately not Clark's choice to leave her and so if Lois wins his affection again later it is obviously by default & only because Lana is not around - so much for Lois being Clark's "true love". This clark kent, this character they have created, obvioulsy could never think of Lois as being his true love, the true love of his choosing, they have completely destroyed that by making Lana & Clana so iconic within the context of the show. There really is no reason to continue this show into a 9th season because no longer is it believable that this character of clark kent could ever become superman or could ever have stronger feelings for lois than he did for lana - goodbye smallville - RIP - the first three seasons were brillant and for those I will always have positive feelings about the show - i will just try and forget the rest... too bad...

[smallvillereporter27]

Just when I thought season 8 was going well...they pull crap like this. Ugh. I'm so sick of Lana and the producers inability to let this character go! I mean this is getting ridiculus. Lana Lang was never menat to be THIS important in Clark's life. And now she has superpowers? *sigh*

The pros: I enjoyed AM's directing (considering what she had to work with)...that's all I can think of actually. The acting was pretty solid. I've always thought KK was a great actress, but I just hate her character at this point.

The cons: Well, this Clana nonsense has got to stop soon (luckily next week's episode looks like it will do just that). I did not like Lana getting superpowers and this desire to be Clark's equal. I think the writers could have empowered some other way, to make her realize she didn't need superpowers to be Clark's equal. I don't know, I just think there are so many other BETTER things Lana could have been doing in her time off and I think the writers dropped the ball on this one. Or maybe Al & Miles came back and secretly wrote this episode.

Here's hoping for some better episodes in the future.

[lovinredkclark]

its a shame that THE SEXIEST CLARK KENT EVER will be remembered for this ep.
the ep that blatantly disrespected iconic superman. imo of course.

[jjsmallvillelvr]

I like Clana, but Clois is ok. I think it's nice that they brought Lana back for some closure. I hope the next episode is really good. Lana was a big part of the show and should get a worthy sendoff, even though the storyline is a little weird. lol. To all of you who hated the episode and are bashing it. Then whatever, don't like it, but that doesn't mean that the whole series is doomed. Why don't you guys at least wait and see how it all plays out. It could be amazing.

[Krypto~Luan]

Wow....its was a great epsidoe...Clana will come to an end. People are too picky when it comes to the show. Take what your given and go on :D


Great epsiode better then Bulletproof.:D


^i agree, Lana deserves a good send off.

i totally agreee. Everyone is being to picky. Would you really rank this episode with sleeper and hero?

this ep doesnt even rank. sleeper was better than power.

[Krypto~Luan]

Hero? The big stride ad? WHAT!!! NO!!!! God nO!!!!


it was a great episode!!! Especially after last week!

PS3 knows what their doing.

[Marfeic2011]

THAT is my point exactly how the hell can we believe that he will be looking "lovingly" at Lois so soon after Lana leaves again!:rolleyes:

If he does that - act all doe-eyed with lois so soon after all this Clana making out - than he is a just a ********** fill in the blanks for whatever you like to call guys that hook up with whatever girl is available!!!!!!!!!!! (oh I am screaming outloud right now) someone should smack the writers/producers of this show for disgracing the iconic and beloved character of clark kent/superman....

[warriorrenegade]

I honestly don't know what to say...it was that bad.

[Sue Denim]

i totally agreee. Everyone is being to picky. Would you really rank this episode with sleeper and hero?

I don't think this episode was as bad as Sleeper or Hero. Although, Hero would have been so much better if they would have put one stupid Clark/Pete/Chloe scene into it. I can honestly think of a handful of other episodes that I dislike more.

[loistickyfingerz]

To be honest, I found it boring. I usually have a class on Thursdays so I have to tape SV and watch it later. I was out of class tonight so I got to watch it in real time. I found myself wishing I had taped it so I could fast-forward through most of it.

Nothing happened! The Tess part was kind of interesting, I guess, but in the end I didn't feel like anything really happened for the overall story. Just my opinion, of course, and I know what that's worth.

[blink2matrix]

i liked it but at the same time was like "how the hell are they gonna yo-yo themselves out of this one."

Overall for what the story was for 8 seasons it makes sense.. finally they get a chance to be together on an even playing field... but at the same time the last 2 episodes basically undid everything that the first 10 episodes of season 8 built up.

We know next week's episode is Lana's last... so next week is what will give us ultimate closure to their relationship (at least that's what i hope). I personally thought the episode was great but know that it's only building up to an ultimate big boom that'll be sad.

[TayLaneBloom]

this episode it's just pathetic.

not bad, pathetic.



first, the directing was poor. most of the shots were to close, could hardly see the faces interly.
in the Clana kiss, it was so close, it almost looked like porn movie.

Tesses shot, with the blood in her face, was bad taste. like a crapy horror movie.
and, once again, the camera was to close.


talking about the actually episode,
the story was so stupid, makes me almost vomit.
all about Lana. no Superman, not even Clark Kent?
when did Lana became the main character in Smallville??

because, for what i remamber, she left! and now, come back as a heroin?
everybody got why she wanted to be invincible, to play a V for Vendetta with Lex.
nothing to do with saving the world!
just Clark can't see that, of course! because, in hes eyes, she's still the saint Lana Lang. never make mistakes.
¬¬'

about the kiss. just.... i don't know!
have no words for that.
the rooftop has beeing the sacret Clois place for 70 years, and in one shot, they managed to make it all desapear.


with this episode, in a blink of an eye, 70 years went down the river.

Can't believe DC Commics would aloud something like this.

[tyson08]

The votes for this episode are very telling.

[Jack-El49]

The directing is good but I hated the Episode. I give it a 4

Am did an amazing job directing this turd of an episode. I gave it a 2. Tess should be superman, Lana should be superman. Clark is a waffling wuss who should be working at the Talon.

[jjsmallvillelvr]

I don't think this episode was as bad as Sleeper or Hero. Although, Hero would have been so much better if they would have put one stupid Clark/Pete/Chloe scene into it. I can honestly think of a handful of other episodes that I dislike more.


True, they should have had a Clark/Chloe/Pete scene in Hero. They were BEST frineds in highschool for crying out loud. they couldn't manage one reunion scene woth the 3 of them.

[KryptonianMastermind]

Ugh. I really hated this episode, and I'm a die hard Smallville/Superman fan. It was ridiculous. Clana should have been over by season 4, and now it's season 8 and not only is Clark working at the Daily planet, but he's got a budding relationship with Lois! Perfect!(except for the no glasses part) But, no. They just had to bring back Lana and give her powers so that she and Clark can go save the world. Oh joy. What were they thinking? Heck, last week's episode was pushing it, but this one was just plain stupid.

[Larel]

If he does that - act all doe-eyed with lois so soon after all this Clana making out - than he is a just a ********** fill in the blanks for whatever you like to call guys that hook up with whatever girl is available!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep I totally agree, one scene, in one effing scene they ruined how many freaking years of Superman history by having Clana sucking face on top of the DP it was like a big screw you to all the Clark/Superman & Lois fans everywhere!


They actually want me to believe Lana was kissing Clark at the DP? sorry but they can suck it!!!!!!!

[Jack-El49]

Wow....its was a great epsidoe...Clana will come to an end. People are too picky when it comes to the show. Take what your given and go on :D


Great epsiode better then Bulletproof.:D


^i agree, Lana deserves a good send off.

We're picky when it comes to Superman lore and this was way over the top. How will Clark end the Clanadrama-rama next week and be convincing that Lana isn't "the one that got away"? That's why ppl disliked this episode. Clana was done last season and last season is where it should have stayed.

You people will get your lore, but stop wanting it in one spoonful. the lana hating is ANNOYING. I like lana, i dislike Clana. People run around screaming bloody murder when you dont get what ya want. Lana haters are sad, it WILL end, it needs to end the right way, not sloppy like last season. Last season was horrible. This one epsidoe beats that entire season and kicks it Tess style.:D

But i guess it always a difference of opinion ^_^

[Joekur]

I ended up giving it a three...

I gave it 100 billion jillion points for AM's directing. But then I had to deduct 100 billion jillion points becuase of all the CLANA! BLECH!

I deducted 10 points 'cuz Jimmy is fighting for his Life in Star city - Lois is there by his side... where's his wife? Hangin' out in Metroplis... everyone's like, "Jimmy who?"

But then I gave three points for Tess kickin' the crap out of that dude...

so, three points...

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

I know this thread may get deleted, but I am just trying to speak the truth.

Ever since Power aired, 99% of K-Site has been ticked off. Why? Because they are mad Clana kissed again and Lana had superpowers. Wow. That's a great reason to hate this episode.

Honestly people, can you not even give AM, KK or TW a chance? They all did a great job in this episode and all y'all do is say how bad it sucked. Like I said in previous threads, I find it annoying how, just because ones view of Clana/Lana, you think the episode was the worst of the season - even the series. Just because something happened between Clark and Lana doesn't mean you need to bash every view and aspect of this episode.

Please, take this into consideration.

[WELLINGWIFE#2]

i thought it was pretty decent..and I was never the biggest CLana or Lana fan but now I felt like her return has a purpose. SHe wasnt just brought back for the heck of it..this epi should have been titled "Girl Power" though..I think it rocked! Girlfriends kicked A$$. ANd ALYSON rocked as a director!!!

[Firebunny]

I thought the episode was okay until the last segment. Up until then it felt like they were building to Clark realizing how power hungry and creepy Lana is (which makes Lana's character more interesting). But then Lana had to get all "I'm selfless and doing this to save the world" (which made her interesting level drop a thousand fold) and Clark didn't think she was creepy at all (which makes Clark very creepy).

I agree, it is sad! I have narrowed it down to extreme jelously :D
If i we're running the show and i heard the complaints id laugh, and offer KK her job back full time. Episode= great.

[WELLINGWIFE#2]

and I agree about the CLANA hating stuff...I mean people get so bent out of shape over it..I SAY ENJOY THE SHOW FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH..there will always be "ships" feature that not everyone is going to like..but if you let that hatred for a specific ship eat up at you then you'll end up miserable and pissed for no reason. Enjoy it for what it's worth or change the channel.

[ledzepfan23]

I know this thread may get deleted, but I am just trying to speak the truth.

Ever since Power aired, 99% of K-Site has been ticked off. Why? Because they are mad Clana kissed again and Lana had superpowers. Wow. That's a great reason to hate this episode.

Honestly people, can you not even give AM, KK or TW a chance? They all did a great job in this episode and all y'all do is say how bad it sucked. Like I said in previous threads, I find it annoying how, just because ones view of Clana/Lana, you think the episode was the worst of the season - even the series. Just because something happened between Clark and Lana doesn't mean you need to bash every view and aspect of this episode.

Please, take this into consideration.
I totally agree! Stop complaining! Just be happy you got a new episode of Smallville

[jjsmallvillelvr]

I ended up giving it a three...

I gave it 100 billion jillion points for AM's directing. But then I had to deduct 100 billion jillion points becuase of all the CLANA! BLECH!

I deducted 10 points 'cuz Jimmy is fighting for his Life in Star city - Lois is there by his side... where's his wife? Hangin' out in Metroplis... everyone's like, "Jimmy who?"

But then I gave three points for Tess kickin' the crap out of that dude...

so, three points...

umm technically you'd still be at negative seven... :\

[WELLINGWIFE#2]

I thought the episode was okay until the last segment. Up until then it felt like they were building to Clark realizing how power hungry and creepy Lana is (which makes Lana's character more interesting). But then Lana had to get all "I'm selfless and doing this to save the world" (which made her interesting level drop a thousand fold) and Clark didn't think she was creepy at all (which makes Clark very creepy).

yeah the last segment was a little creepy..lol

[Larel]

We're picky when it comes to Superman lore and this was way over the top. How will Clark end the Clanadrama-rama next week and be convincing that Lana isn't "the one that got away"? That's why ppl disliked this episode. Clana was done last season and last season is where it should have stayed.

exactly!!!!





Yes see that is my worry more than anything, now when Lois returns & Clark starts being all gooey eyed with her it will seem like WTF!:\

The ONLY way they can redeem this next week & make any Clois interaction that is still to come seem genuine is if they have Clana next week realize that they truly don't belong together & even though they will always love each other, they are over in that way & BOTH need to walk away knowing they made the right choice toward a new life!

[Krypto~Luan]

Guys, it really is sad, all the people bashing the epsiode hate i mean HATE!!! clana. See a pattern? I do, i honestly sense some deep jeoulousy.Not even lieing. See, im not a fan of clana, but all the childish complaining is realyl friggin annoying. I am one argument away from LOVING Clana. Really it needs to end. Clana will die with a bang, not a whimper.

[superspider02]

Well not the best episode but not the wrost episode of smallville. I too am pretty dam sick of lana and so have for a long time now. Also sick of lana getting powers too. Though i have to see the plot of the episode wasnt that bad in the episode. I enjoyed allison's directing and i thought the way we saw flashbacks, and some of the camera angles she shot was pretty good too.

Also it was nice to see what really went down from when lana woke up to when she returned to smallville/metropolis. Weird to see that lana got dr groll to work with her to give her the power enhancement and not give it to lex. Though it makes you wonder where the heck is lex being held/cared for.... Interesting to see tess turning from bad girl to a good girl. Though its likely she probably will be getting killed off at the end of the season. Man was it bad ass when she killed regan.

As for clark i liked the character for the most part of the episode besides when he was going all lana this lana that. Acting wise i think everything did very well and i hope rating improve a bit over bulletproof. As for next week looks very interesting cant wait to see what goes down. If that was lex in the promo looks pretty sweet(though we all know its the body double lol). Also cant wait to see what Toyman has to play in the episode. Cant wait to see what the heck happens with lana and her final episode.

[Krypto~Luan]

*pats on back* Yes...just yes...

[yomama]

I agree with everyone who said what a terrible episode for AM to be stuck with. Her work could have been pure gold, and all the majority of views are going to remember is..."Oh...that episode...where they totally killed Lois and Clark, and any DREAM of Lois and Clark...and WHAT THE HECK WERE PS3 THINKING?!? AAARRGH!"

That said, I liked Tess a lot. I like her thirst for revenge against Lex--a nice balance of calm and rage. But is it just me or did the writing just not feel up to parr? What was with all the unneccessary exposition? And the pacing seemed uneven. Long focus on Chloe's face, now jump to this scene, jump to another scene, long focus on Tess's face after she kills Regan, now cut to commercial. Oy vey.

I am a Cloiser at heart. Always have been, always will be. I'm honestly struggling with whether I'm being fair in my assessment (Lana, a pretty interesting character in that she's firmly in the ethic shades of grey department, but Clana and the kiss at the Daily Planet WITH THE SUN RISING IN THE BACKGROUND?!? AAAARRRRGGGH!!!!), but this episode? From the standpoint of plot, I felt like I was watching a trainwreck, and starting to get bored with feeling like PS3 isn't so much respecting the audience as yanking our chains.

[moviefan2k4]

I think many people complain due to the simple fact that everyone is "writing their own sequel" in their head, be it for film or television. Everyone has an opinion, and some will resort to hate or spite if they don't get their way. My only beef with the series as a whole is that it sometimes delves into situational ethics, and that's almost never a good thing in the long run.

[ledzepfan23]

Yes to much complaining.

How about not generalizing? Or have you not noticed that people have LEGITIMATE complaints. It's not, "Boo! Clana sucks! This episode sucks!" Or did you miss the sheer ludicrousness of the "plot," the "story," the mind-numbingly damaging effects on the show and the characters?

And even if it *was* just the Clana? People have a right to dislike that as well.

Just because something happened between Clark and Lana doesn't mean you need to bash every view and aspect of this episode.

And just because you loved it, doesn't mean you have the right to decide WHY people disliked this episode, nor does it give you the right to decide what we should or shouldn't do.

I know all the complaints, but the plot was honestly not all that bad. It seems like everyone found something to hate in this episode. It was mainly Lana, though.

Tonight I felt compelled to join this discussion just so that can express my utter disappointment with this episode. The writers and producers should feel ashamed for providing such garbage to fans of Superman! They single-handedly destroyed part of what made this hero so iconic -- his undying love and devotion for Lois Lane! If Smallville doesn't make it to season nine, believe me when I say that I won't be shedding any tears.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

I am not trying to start any argument, I am saying how annoying its getting with everyone bashing some aspect of this episode.

yeah. the problem here is simple.
for this past 7 years, has always beeing about Clana. They broke up, get back, and keep doing this for all the time.
Lois was there, beeing just Lois and hating Clark. so, having Clana was no problem.

but this 8th year, Clois started to happend!
Lois fall in love, Clark begun to have feelings, Lana was gone. just perfect.
then, the almos kiss, Lana come back....
and....now i feel like i went back tho the 3 season. no Lois, all about Clana..
just, now Clana is in a hole new crapy version, Super Powered!

so... the PS3 was just stupid by bringing all that back after the hole Clois thing started.

Seriously, wasn't that one of the annoying things about the ALMiles years, the feeling of being offered a story that wasn't up to snuff. Maybe that's why this episode is so painful--season 8 has been great up to this point, and now, what are we to make of this rather odd offering? Why this strange change of direction in the middle/later half of season 8?

[ginnyfan]

That was, without a doubt the most horrible, hideous, awful piece of garbage SV has ever produced. Wow. Words fail.

Is there something less then 1?

I'm quoting you BadToad because the worst thing about this episode was not Clana, it was Clark. And when I think about Clark's character - exceptionally good or exceptionally bad I think of the Clark Advocate. LOL!

They completely sacrificed Clark in the storytelling of this episode. My sister said he was "Watson" from Sherlock Holmes in this episode and I agree. I was so excited at first because I thought that Clark would be investigating with Tess and together they would figure out what Lana was up to. But no... Clark was a day late and a dollar short about everything. He had to have every step of the episode explained to him. He ran around like a chicken with his head cut off slamming people against walls. His facial expressions alternated between lost, angry and dopey. I mean WTF?! It's just BAD. That alone is what docks the episode down to... I'm thinking a 5. I'm going to watch again before I vote.

I'd probably take a few points off for the DP kiss though really, this is nothing new. Clana has always had these epic romantic moments despite the hollowness of their relationship. I'd probably take a few points off for the Chun-Li tribute... though I really get a kick out of Lana-fu. LOL! Honestly this story arc is some of the best writing for Lana's character. They explained her skill advancement fighting wise. They continued the obsessive creepiness of Lexana. They connected her story to Tess' story through Lex Luthor. I think that was a great idea. They added a bit of Chloe/Lana with Chloe keeping Lana's secret. I loved the line they gave Lana about not being a victim. I even enjoyed her saying how revenge corrupts you and you can never get out of the darkness or something. This Lana is so much more interesting, and I'm getting a lot of payoffs to her character as a whole over the 8 seasons. I was glad to see KK minus that wig.

RedPlanetKrypton posted this on another site and it made me laugh.

http://i43.tinypic.com/30bilgl.jpg

My Clois hope and optimism have diminished but I haven't lost hope altogether. The next episode will make or break SVClois for me for sure.

Apart from Clois I thought Allison did a great job directing. The flashbacks gave the episode a dynamic quality and made the exposition interesting.

This episode was really a Tess Mercer showcase. Tess is the best thing about this Lana Lang arc.

I was glad to see a lot of extra players in the episode. Dr. Grohl, various Luthorcorp minions.

I really hate to give this episode a 4 or a 5 because really, Allison did a great job. But Clark was real dumb in this episode.

[Grote002]

It's not just the Lana-love, but how much of a softy Clark gets. Again everything in the world has to move for his 'precious Lana', this is not the Man of Steel, this is the loser-type.

I kept screaming at the tv everytime he yelled at Chloe, Tess and Carter Bowfry to find out about 'his' Lana, YACK !!

That so bugged me in other seasons and this season that was finally gone and now with Lana back, the irritating Clark is back too, THAT's what bugged me about the episode.

Maybe it doesn't deserve a 1, but the the main storyline with super-lana was crap and the awfull loser-Clark deserves at least less then a 3.

[Marfeic2011]

You people call yourself Smallville Fans, this was a pretty good episode. It tied up some loose ends left from last years "strike" shorten season. All the people whining about the Superman myths being ruin hello Smallville has been putting its spin on the DC Universe since season 1. You guy know Chloe the girl we al love she does not even exist in the Superman mythos.

Lana having superpowers you people know it wont last, next week is the last episode for Lana to be on the show. I dont like Clark crying over Lana anymore than you people do, but guess what he's not even suspose to know Lois Lane yet so them getting together is not gonna happen on this show either.

To all the people who whine and cry, give it a 1 rating, and call for the end of the series. Suck it up and just watch the freakin show. How about pointing out the good in an episode instead of ripping a new one. Every episode cant be a 10 there has to be some filler episodes. There is a reason for everything it opens doors for the rest of the season. So just wait and watch the show.

There's a difference between "spinning" and "spitting on" the superman mythos - and this was the latter. If you had any respect for the character of superman over the last 70 years, or for the great show smallville used to be, you wouldn't feel so ambivalent... I love (loved) this show, and will still watch the older episodes in years to come, and I will be very surprised if another show EVER comes along that I like even 1/100th as much as I have LOVED this show, so for me to say that they have totally ruined Clark Kent's character and his legendary love for Lois lane - and that they have spit in the face of that legacy with this and recent episodes - its really saying something... because it doesn't matter what happens from here on out... its too late... its ruined...

Maybe this is news to the writers and prodcers but its one thing to spin off here and there and take liberties with the timelines and comic book characters and histories along the way - but in the end the big and fundamental stuff shouldn't be changed - because when you do that you don't have show about the clark kent that becomes superman anymore - you have a bunch of fans who are pissed off to see the characters they know and love be trampled into the mud of a washed out show... the ONE glimmer of hope I see is if CLARK CHOOSES (is not forced by circumstances or anyone) to end the relationship with Lana on his own - but judging from the preview of next week's episode that's not the case - & if so the CW has lost another longtime loyal fan and viewer, I hope they feel it in the ratings too...

I would have to agree. Any show or movie that is based on a myth or something is bound to be retold many different ways. Even within the superman comics there have been various versions of the myth and how it all played out. Everyone tries to stick close to home, but create a new aspect that will ineterest people. The writers can do pretty much whatever they want. If they really wanted they could probably just kill Lois and be like oh well, I guess Clark gets to be with Lana after all! ;)

I don`t like clana but i really liked this episode,there were lots of twists about the video tape Lana left...and Lex! and Tess....
I see a lot of hate here...really people,clana will end soon, KK has only signed for a few episodes...let`s see how they plan to end it.

and I would have loved the episode better (much better) if they cutted the scene with the kiss obviously. (btw kk is so lucky)

oh and AM did an amazing job!!!! she rocked!!

Am did an amazing job directing this turd of an episode. I gave it a 2. Tess should be superman, Lana should be superman. Clark is a waffling wuss who should be working at the Talon.

[Mythosgirl]

Welcome to all the Newbies...Grote, Marfiec and claudiss....It is usually a loving place, but the frustration is high! I personally have loathed the lana arc and I don't loath lana. The episodes have been ridiculous to me and her character which has done some many questionable things is just held on a pedistal. Is she really worth a legendary superheros unquestioning regard?

I know some of you don't care about the mythos and the 70 years and I don't mind a retelling, but an absolute smashing is just too hard to swallow.

[jjsmallvillelvr]

I love her alot, but she wouldnt have fit anywhere in the past 3 pis. Im not a fan of clana, but i think they made it work here.

yea, they did. If Lois was in the episodes they would have had to explain a way for Lois to be 'ok' with all of the Clana. KNowing it;s happening and being around while it's happening are two totally different things. They avoided the Clark and Lois interaction and having to deal with how he pretty much just blew her off! I would like to have see them try to make that scene/conversation work. lol!;) so who are you a fan of? Clois?

[Celestx88]

Ok I'm new to the forum and the only reason I joined was to share my feelings about the "Power" episode. As the majority of you pointed out....it sucked...badly. I have been a fan of the show since season 1 and still a devoted fan. However this Clana thing is really giving me migraines. I think my dislike for Lana's character started when she became all these different things? this whole Lana and superpowers thing...? I just don't get it...at all..


And for the first time in the past 6 years I had to change the channel to watch American Idol (and I'm not even a fan of the show?) The storyline dragged and seemed long. Still, I told myself to watch the show for Tom Welling. However his obsession with lana and "omg why are people hiding secrets from me about lana's life" is soooo...ugh..Do I have to start hating Clark too? If that happens I will stop watching the show all together.

I agree with the whole disgracing the Lois and Clark relationship but we should still see how things work out in future episodes. Overall, I understand the Clana thing from Season 1-5 but after Season 6 I just wanted to individually punch Clark and Lana in the face...it was just getting way too repetitive. Clana fans...I hope your happy...but it won't last long!!! hahaha:rotfl: jk don't bash me now...


Oh and I want the whole Doomsday storyline to continue..I really enjoyed his story!

[SGuthrie27]

I gave this episode a 6. In my opinion, it's WAY better than the bulk of episodes in several past seasons, but it's WAY WORSE than pretty much any other episode in this entire season. Honestly, I've LOVED Season 8 compared to the 3-4 seasons that came before it. It's had some really cool twists, turns, new characters, and development of the old ones in unexpected new ways. But "Power?" It was just plain weird...

For starters, I thought the directing was pretty good. Nice job for Allison Mack's first attempt, especially considering she didn't have a TON of great stuff to work with in terms of some of the plot elements. So, way to go, AM!

Now for the pros... I, too, liked the way they brought back Regan and Grohl. I always enjoy seeing recurring guest stars, especially when they're used in cool ways, and this episode definitely delivered on that front.

The flashbacks were excellent, in my humble opinion. They were ABSOLUTELY necessary, in my opinion, and filled in all those gaps, answering the many questions that had been lingering in the back of our minds for so long regarding Lana and her mysterious disappearance and reappearance. Most of them even made sense, and fit pretty fluidly into the continuity of the rest of the show/season.

Allison's acting was top-notch, and it was wonderful to see her get SEVERAL scenes, including some great heart-to-heart talks with Clark, though I'm getting pretty sick of her having to remind him that she's allowed to keep other people's secrets other than his. Argh!

Kristin did an awesome job of portraying Lana and all her different emotional moods and moments. Some of the stuff they DID with Lana in this episode was WAY CHEESY and over the top, but Kristin did the best she could with what she had to work with, so props to her for that.

Tom actually seemed to be OVERacting a lot of his scenes -- he just seemed a little TOO dramatic for my taste, though I may be in the minority in thinking that. He seemed to get better as the episode progressed, except for that last scene... *gag* That's not really his or Kristin's fault, though...

And whoa, Tess... Whew, she REALLY got to show some great range and versatility in emotion and character beats in this episode, which made me really happy. I feel like we're just starting to see the real depths of her character, and she's developed a ton just in the past two episodes. The whole "bashing Regan's head in repeatedly" was a little much, in my opinion, but the way she acted in that scene, and her facial expressions... superb. The tear that rolled down her face afterwards was great, and I LOVED her scene with Clark. Those two have some interesting and unique chemistry.

Now, as for the actual plot? Err... Grr... Ugh... Some of the Lana elements, like I said, were good, simply because we needed to know what she'd been doing all this time and why. But the "Prometheus Super Suit" thing seemed over the top for me, and is an obvious plot device to give Clana one more brief moment in the sun before SOMETHING dramatic and awful happens next week to undoubtedly strip her of her powers a second time. People who think Lana's going to die, however, are totally kidding themselves. Forget about it! She lives on in canon, so they wouldn't do her in here. She'll undoubtedly lose her abilities and then head off into the sunset again... At least, that's my prediction.

I am ready for this storyline to be over with, even though it actually has been kind of fun to see Kristin Kreuk back. I was actually surprised how much I'd missed her, though I also admit I won't be too depressed to see her go. 5 episodes was enough of Lana to last me a good long while. :D No offense! Like I've said in other threads, I think SHE has grown a lot as a character. It's CLARK who needs to learn how to move on and move FORWARD with his heroic destiny. Lana keeps telling him to live in the present, but with her around, he seems bound and determined to stay rooted in the past. Let's move on to some fresh, newer, better things, shall we, future Superman?

Those are my two cents! Take 'em or leave 'em.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[SGuthrie27]

P.S. Please, people, don't write off the show just because of one clunker of an episode, by the way... I've seen so many people saying "I'm quitting this show after tonight!" but take a quick reality check -- the Lana story arc ends after next Wednesday, and then I'm pretty sure they'll be a lot more focused on the Clois, Doomsday, and other major plot elements from there. Keep the big picture in mind, and remember all the great elements of this show that we love and make us stick around every week.

[Krypto~Luan]

so who are you a fan of? Clois?

I honestly never cared much for the relationship side. I thought Clana got annoying, but it was the deeper arcs that kept me watching. I know Clois WILL happen, so i dont bother being a person who wants too rush it. I never thought Chlark should happan, too weird 0_0. Clalica or whatever, i never cared for, plus i dont remember it well either. :lol:People like Alicia cause she is NOT lana IMO. I take whatever I'm given and only complain when the plot is bad...Like in Hero...-_-

[La Donna]

Before I write out a review, I just have to say I've never been this upset because of a show. I thought the way Alias went towards the end was the worst thing I would have to deal with as a fan. But nope, this is worse. I'm pissed. I don't know if we're allowed to curse or not, but I have several words I'd like to say to PS3 right now. I'm going to wait a minute and then review it. I have to catch my breath from my rage.

[jjsmallvillelvr]

now, the only bad thing about the lana arc is that EVERYTHING else was put on hold. Jimmy. is he ok? Lois. is she suffering from a heatbrak or bouncing back? Davis/Doomsday. Is he still in the fortress? killing people? driving his ambulence? Ollie. of on another mission? drunk in an alley? very confused...

[Ilovebeinglost]

And I must say this has nothing to do with AM's directing. It was badly written. Waiting 8 years for Clark to fly and he was showing some promise in moving forward when what's her name comes back,now Lana is a fricken superwoman, great just great, back to lanaville

lol, yea like someone said earlier, no chloe, clark, pete, scene with the 3 of them reunited togeter...and who has ever gotten powers from kryptonite that go away? so ppl are exposed to rocks and get powers, but injests it and his powers go away after he's done chewing his gum....hmmm...:eek:

Yeah that is annoying, but i hope we have someing very nice instore. And i wouldnt mind a Word from jimmy or a report on davis. But i guess the plan is to focus on "Clana" for now, then put it in the past and go with the other plots

[TayLaneBloom]

plase, one good soul can answer me something!

where the hell did the Clois scene in Crimson happend??????

because, defenitly, it wasnt in the rooftop we've seen tonight!

im so confused!

[BWOracle]

I think it is impossible to judge this episode in isolation without seeing the events in Requiem. It very much feels like a two-parter where the story elements in this episode will be resolved in the next. For now I give it a 5 but my score could be higher or lower depending on how the story ends.

The episode was very non-linear, jumping backwards and forwards in time, making it more difficult to follow.

It's also not possible to judge this episode fairly (or this whole arc for that matter) without putting aside any biases against the Lana character or the CLana ship that have been prevalent since Reckoning.

My final judgment is on hold for now.

[LuckyKrypto]

I thought it was a good episode. You know it's leading in to something different and I like that. I liked seeing Lana stronger and not such a wimp. The writing seems to be pushing Clark to realize that she can take care of herself and that she doesn't need him as her personal 'savior'. I liked the fact that Clark is not ok with what she is doing, although I'm glad to see a little lip action from my favorite tv hero, it seemed to me that he wasn't totally committed this time around.
I think I can see where the writing is going with this and I am happy that it looks like they will end this relationship on a positive note. Looking at this episode as one where they had to really scramble to make up for the mess the last few seasons have put them in I really thought this was well done and am looking forward to next week.:D

[Black Panda]

Ah, my faith is renewed. I love the writers.

This was one long episode of Freak!Watch, just without the last reveal. Everyone was motivated to protect Lana (including Lana). Everyone got in arguments about who could protect her better. We got to see her be stalked and abused against her will. We got to see her use her meteor powers to manipulate. We got all the different flavors of Lana love, like I'll teach you to protect yourself.

I know the modus operandi is to lead the fans on then crush them, so my turn will probably be next week, but I'm basking in the Flana light until then.

Feeling your pain......

[Marfeic2011]

I am not trying to start any argument, I am saying how annoying its getting with everyone bashing some aspect of this episode.

respectfully disagree - I think its great to see how this show looks like it might become the lowest rated on this site - it shows that the majority of fans here (1) have a brain, (2) have a love, respect, or passion for the story of superman, (3) wanted to see Clark's character progress, grow, and become a true hero.

Its important for fans to have standards that are actually based on something, time for most people is precious, and unlike some, when I devote an hour of my time to watching something that matters to me (and that I have been a fan of for the better part of a decade) I don't think I am out of line for being outraged at how PS3 has torn down the character of a hero that it took over seven seasons to build - to all those who say the majority of are over-reacting negatively I ask: did you know you are on a website entitled "kryptonsite" which would most likely include people who are kinda "into" the whole superman thing? hence the anger... ( I am sorry to be pissy but CMON!)

[WildGoatTamer]

I liked Tess. She was pretty rad in this episode. Lana not so much. And Clark... just wow.

Lana was cool this episode until the power hungry flash back where she decides she tells that dude she wants to have super powers. I liked how they showed Lana training...until she decided that wasn't good enough. I feel insanely sorry for KK who has had to watch (and be) Lana get destroyed by the writers over years. AM too 'cause she had to direct this episode.

Tess was pretty awesome, I liked seeing her vulnerable and now I want her back to the amazing cool kinda evil person she is. CF did a amazing job with the Regan death scene, she had fear and anger all into one. And the dude that played Regan was awesome, he was a lot creepier than usual but it added to his performance.

I understand that this was mainly a flashback episode and was all emotional and stuff but Clark really needed to get a grip. To me it seemed like Clark was lost, was just getting clues by luck and running blindly into things. I haven't seen Clark this bad in years.

The only Clana I liked in this episode was where Lana saves the scientist from Tess and theres a moment with Clark. Kudos to AM. :P

I really wish that Lana (and KK) could've been given justice because this episode pretty much set up KK's next (and last) episode as horrible. Did the writers really have to make Lana a total Mary Sue? Serously I am so for kickass Lana as long as she isn't made a complete god among men. They should've stuck with I-Feel-No-Pain!Lana.

4 out of 10

Edit: I forgot to add I really loved the Lana cutting her hair scene! It showed she was progressing and it was a pretty dramatic realization of change in her life. :D

[jjsmallvillelvr]

umm i beleiev they kissed in a dp office, and on olivers balcony, in olivers house, in like a filing room at the dp, and i think that was most of them...:\

[clanaluva4Life]

[mod edit] The episode was Brilliant!!
Lana's storyline was quite fascinating, she is such a fighter she thinks of protecting the world like the Heroine she is, no woman can ever LOVE Clark the way Lana does, thank you Allison Mack u should direct more often babygirl. Clana needs you hahahahahahahahaha

[Saturn Girl]

I gave it an 8 out of 10. I loved the way Lana softened her expression when she laid eyes on Clark while disarming Tess. It was planned, intentional and beautifully executed. Nice work on AM's part for bringing it to life. I got all teary eyed watching it. Tres' romantic.

I don't get bent out of shape wrt to Clana... we all know Clark ends up with Lois so it's all good IMO.

The positive spin I'd like to bring to the table is that everyone obviously feels passionate about the show and its interpretation of the Superman mythos.

The Clana bashing doesn't bother me nor am I upset that so many of us seemed to hate this episode.

I think we're a pretty special group. I mean, it's amazing we still can watch and enjoy the show at all given the scrutiny and deep analysis we give it.

As to some objectionable points about "Power"... Lana's goal is her own. It's pretty obvious she's not being objective. Clark tells her that certain realities only come true in fairy tails.

Lana is sincere but misguided.

Keep in mind she had "super sex" with Clark... earthquake level stuff back in season 7. What female amongst us wouldn't want a crack at that again?!? I mean, the earth literally moved! That kind of action has to affect a girl ;)

Anyways, my guess is Lana's super powers are short lived.

I "always" like it when Clark and Lana connect. The series has handled their romance with finesse. It's passionate and romantic and loaded with angst.

That's why for me Smallville is very female friendly and a big reason why I'm a fan.... well, that and Tom Welling's basic hotness factor. :)

yep...some of us are into the Superman thing and this just stinks...

[claudiss]

Welcome to all the Newbies...Grote, Marfiec and claudiss....It is usually a loving place, but the frustration is high! I personally have loathed the lana arc and I don't loath lana. The episodes have been ridiculous to me and her character which has done some many questionable things is just held on a pedistal. Is she really worth a legendary superheros unquestioning regard?

I know some of you don't care about the mythos and the 70 years and I don't mind a retelling, but an absolute smashing is just too hard to swallow.

thanks for the welcome, I am one of those people who doesn`t know /care much about mythos but I understand. I also don`t like how PS3/AlMiles put Lana in a pedestal all the time so I know what you mean...I used to like her though.
One thing that really bothered me was..why Lana is so obsessed with having powers? almost to risk her life?:rolleyes:
I say just wait and see what PS3 has prepared for us and for her character.

by the way...I liked this episode more than bulletproof...that one almost made me sleep!

(and again KK is so lucky for kissing TW)

[clana4everfan2]

AM did an awesome job of directing and I liked the bg of what happened with Lana leaving. And her and Clark's interaction. The end scene was lovely to watch especially for Clana fans! :)

[TayLaneBloom]

umm i beleiev they kissed in a dp office, and on olivers balcony, in olivers house, in like a filing room at the dp, and i think that was most of them...:\


yeah. sorry,,, i made my question all wrong.
i wanna know, is when they go to the DP rooftop!
it's not the same rooftop it shows in tonight's episode!

i don't get that

[jjsmallvillelvr]

yeah. sorry,,, i made my question all wrong.
i wanna know, is when they go to the DP rooftop!
it's not the same rooftop it shows in tonight's episode!

i don't get that

oh lol guess i didnt really notice...are those the only two dp rooftop scenes so far?

[Marfeic2011]

yeah. the problem here is simple.
for this past 7 years, has always beeing about Clana. They broke up, get back, and keep doing this for all the time.
Lois was there, beeing just Lois and hating Clark. so, having Clana was no problem.

but this 8th year, Clois started to happend!
Lois fall in love, Clark begun to have feelings, Lana was gone. just perfect.
then, the almos kiss, Lana come back....
and....now i feel like i went back tho the 3 season. no Lois, all about Clana..
just, now Clana is in a hole new crapy version, Super Powered!

so... the PS3 was just stupid by bringing all that back after the hole Clois thing started.

That's what so many of us are trying to get across - forget that this show is about superman at all, forget who is is supposed to wind up with, forget about clana and clois (and all the other ships) - this and the last few episodes sucked so bad mainly because the show is going backwards! The first half of the season was so great because it was finally moving on, moving forward, it had fresh air, fresh momentum - but to do this - to go backwards SO dramatically - ANY show that did this to the characters, to the plot, and to the fans - would get the same reaction....

Just for the record, I was not a superman fan prior to smallville, I am only 29, but smallville made me a superman fan - its not just about Clois, or even superman's legacy - I am sad for them destroying such a great show which could have had an exciting ninth season if they had kept on with the trend of the first half of this season - now they've ruined it and there is no going back - nor would I even WANT a ninth season at this point.

[BOUROUX]

I am not trying to start any argument, I am saying how annoying its getting with everyone bashing some aspect of this episode.
I like this episode because I am not an mythological Cloiser.
You bash this episode because you hate Lana.
It's just an episode. In one week, it's the last episode of Lana.
Be constructive and realist.
Some fan tonigt are pathetic.
Giving a 1 is frustration at 100%. It's not serious.
If in episode 15, the storyline is bad but there are a Clois kiss, you will give a 10 and probably 20 if it's possible.

I liked that the site is closed for 24 hours to allow Cloisers to resume their minds.
Remember that you are watching Smallville.
It's not Lois and Clark the new aventure of superman.
You didn't cry when Lois was hire to the DP for her body. It's a real insult to the mythogy.
Be objective.
Be objective.
Be objective.......
I like the Chloe part.
If you have someone in coma, it's important to take some free time to avoid burnout.
The directing of Allison was amazing. I give her a perfect note.

[scifigirl]

I gave it a 9. This show has produced lame episodes and it has produced cheesefests. IMO, this episode was neither of these things. I think it set up quite well what will be the end of the road for Lana and Clana: Lana is power hungry. For everyone who thinks that this episode put Lana on a pedestal, I think Lana choosing to put on the suit shows how unbalanced and power hungry she has become. I do not think that we are actually supposed to see her as heroic. Instead, we were shown her fatal flaw.

[Krypto~Luan]

Now now... That's not the case. Seriously, that's just your thoughts... Some Cloiser did enjoy other episode that doesn't feature Lois. The fact that Lana being such a power thirst basically pissed people off, even some of the Clanaers I know thought so (I do befriend with hardcore Clanaers). If some SV fans that has no interest in ship could NOT like it, how could others not? It's not about Lois not being in it. Though cloisers tend to miss Lois when they thought the episode wasn't good.

Again, if you're on this again. Lois did NOT get the job because of her body. Grant told her he read her old articles. But "not being a Lois fan", people just dismiss that part, now didn't ya? and... now how on earth Clark get the job?? Seriously STOP THIS!

People are entitled to their opinion. If they don't like the episode, it's up to them. There's no need to attack the Cloisers on this. Sheesh

[Who]

8/10 Excellent AM directing debut. Okalodokali this was a very Lana focused episode. Liked how her story was filled in from when she was gone. Liked Lana's fire and ice training. I'm interested on where this is going.

[kiariclois]

Oh yeah... I think AM did great in directing :D one of the good things about the epi...

[PepsiMax]

Oh man! Seriously? I don't even know where to begin... :eek:

I don't like this at all. Lana with powers? 'Equal' to Supes now? Come on! Last week it was Lex and now Clark too? I seriously do not know how the heck they are going to reverse this...Lana with that much power? No honey, you're not going to change the world! Stop trying to be Superman!! :rolleyes: :mad:

To be honest, I actually liked Lana and her relationship with Clark (for a little while) but with this sudden portrayal of her character and the heights she's been taken, I really don't see how people could stop with the hate and disapproval that's going around.

With saying that, I did like the edgy training she went through. Whether it's in the movies or on tv, stuff like that is always cool to watch. Lana's tough, I'll give her that.

Also, AM's directing was awesome in my opinion. There were heaps of cool angles and shots throughout the epi. Awesome job there! :)

Overall, not a bad episode...and here's hoping it all gets resolved somehow.

[damara531]

Yeah...WOW! There are no words that I can think of to convey how terrible I thought this episode was. Sorry Allison Mack (I love you), and understand that your directing skills are not in question here...even the best directing skills in the world could not have saved this episode from total utter failure.

[supercatmom]

I give it 3 barf bags out of 5.
Next week my be 5 barf bags .
If they had to have the 5 Lana episodes then they should have had them at the beginning of season 8 and then been done with Clana.
And Clark could have started his destiny in Metropolis with Lois.
To have put it in the middle like this has just ruined season 8 for me.

[borednow]

What garbage...

[Lurchdaddy87]

[quote=Marfeic2011;4397856]they have totally ruined Clark Kent's character and his legendary love for Lois lane - and that they have spit in the face of that legacy with this and recent episodes - its really saying something... because it doesn't matter what happens from here on out... its too late... its ruined...quote]

Like I said if Lois Lane does not exsit in Smallville, If you have a love for the Superman history you would know the young Clark was in love with Lana and he doesnt meet Lois until he gets a job at the Daily Planet which he doesnt get until he is Superman. Also if you watched Superman III Clark was still in love with Lana as so was she in love with him, does that ruin the mythos no. In the comics Lana marries Pete Ross and was there any attraction there while Pete was on the show so dont give me this spitting on bull. Its a different take on a hero that has a prestige history. I think its refreshing to spice things up.

You have to toy with history and reinvent things to keep things fresh. Everybody prolly knows the history and the same stuff has been in shows from the George Reeve's Superman to Dean Cain in Lois & Clark to the Animated Series to now Tom Welling's take they were all different and told the story differently. I love this show and will continue too. You people who argue that this is ruining the Superman history, get off the high horse and let some tell there version of Superman.

If you dont like it write your show, until then just watch it because you cant change the way they make or write their show.

[NoSupeForYou]

Superman has become SuperEmo. I'm not a shipper, but I hate Lana because of the person that Clark Kent is around her. That is not KK's fault, but the writers'. They don't raise her up to make her look better, they make her look better by knocking Clark down. Tonight's plot was so poorly written that the writers should be ashamed to have their names on the script.

Frankly, Clark acts like a battered wife around her and it sickens me to see my favorite superhero reduced to this.

[jhei]

This episode was great for me! One of the better Lana-centric episodes (usually, Lana-centric episodes before involved her in danger, and not that important at all).

This episode showed that Lana wants to stop being a victim, and wants to be really secure. This showed her that she's totally different now and grown up.

The only thing I didn't like is that Clark should stop holding on to Lana. Clark should just move on with his life, and just go on to be Superman already. Imo, it makes him look pathetic. Why can't they just make them be good friends right now? The writers had their chance to make them have a wonderful romance before, but now, I think that time has passed.

In summary, I love Lana and KK, and I also love Clark, but I only love Clark without the Lana-pining. I'm not going to hate Lana for making Clark yearn for her, because Clark has a brain, and he can make decisions on his own.

Reinvent a character who was stood the test of time and remained an icon and the most popular superhero ever? They tried to reinvent Superman in SR and look how that went over.

[DavidM2]

This felt like something from Season 7. PS3 sorely disappointed me tonight. I had been optimistic up until now, but I don't see how the Clana/Clois drama can work out nicely. These two episodes do not even fit with the flow of Season 8, and I don't see how this season is going to recover back into its old groove.

Lois Lane did exist in Smallville in the comics... At least a Superboy comics... and in the comic, Lois and Lana are actually friends, and Lana's being the selfish girl there. lol.

Superman III did not get good respond. And they come up with the Lana story only because the people with power have issue with Margot Kidder... It's surprised me how much Lana storyline can make Supes worse... It's funny that SR continues the story of Superman II instead of III. :rotfl:

Just speaking of a fact here... :rolleyes:

[kal-el returns]

this was a considerably terrible episode. the only good part that happened was the last 5 or 10 minutes, whenever lana breaks through the glass and catches the bullet. other than that, there was so much filler and build up to a pretty dismal climax. the explanation of what happened after lana's coma was pretty dismal too.

[ezkl]

I thought it was a pretty good episode . I have to admit I really wasnt a fan of the Lana relationship but I thought this was pretty cool, how they used her. but I am not really a shipper person Either. I just like the show, but wow, u anti-lana ppl r the biggest whiners ever, its pathetic. If u r so caught up in relationship situations , go watch "Days Of our Lives" or General Hospital or something lol.
Great Job Allison !Cool action scenes too.

[CLanaF23]

LOVED IT. and the CLANA action.

[kiariclois]

I don't mind the Clana... I think it's kinda sweet... Though, WHY at THE DP???

and a very teeny tiny error... My friend just point this out... The last time we saw in Arctic, Lana was wearing Hospital gown when she filmed the "breakup" video, and now she wore casual. Weird twist to the whole video thing, and it leads to a very stupid and nonsense error. I don't know who's to blame.. The writers, or AM.

lol arent they? did clana fans complain when she left? and i dont know why they whine so much becuz, their ship is the one who will ultimatley win in the end anyways so let the clana fans have their last moments of clanaliciousness before she leaves forever!

[dezperado]

What the frick are they doing? Why is Lana even back? Clark can't move on or man up! At the begining I was willing to give the closure another chance and thought that's where this epi was going....NOPE!!! The season was going forward, and the story arcs were going so well! Damn I'm so pissed at the massive steps backwards the show has gone...and in only two weeks. Episode gets a 6, and that's just so A.Mack doesn't get shut out, cause she did a good job. The story just sucked!
