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

[shy175223]

Please do not post your opinions until after the episode and please respect each others opininos.

[STFanatic]

This thread will open after the episode has aired.

[Ramester]

I am sick and tired of all these bedroom scenes that have plagued the show for the last few seasons!
When I tuned in to watch tonight's episode of "Requiem", I was disgusted to see that after the opening credits the first scene was Clark and Lana in bed together.
I have never missed an episode of Smallville since it first aired it's pilot way back in 2001. But after tonight's bedroom scene, I have had enough! I am not going to watch anymore Smallville because of these bedroom scenes! I AM SICK OF IT!!

GOODBYE SMALLVILLE!!

[Dresden]

And this is why I am not watching Requiem right now.

[atcannes]

hey im in uk and dont get to see till 2maro so whats happened

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

im a massive smallville fan much to the amusement of my pals but hey i know whats better

[Thetownhero]

I am a 17 year old guy.
I have loved smallville for many years, and embraced every episode.
But this is the first time I have cried from a scene in Smallville.
The pain in Clark's face as he was going up to kiss Lana for the last time. Was so beautiful and sad.

And lex described it best. They're star crossed lovers.
I really was actually getting a bit of the Clana relationship, due to all the ups and downs
but I love Lana, and Kristin Kreuk as an actress.
I think it was a beautiful way of her goodbye for the show.
I already miss her.

Great episode 11/10

[ims001]

Worst episode of the series.

This boy, Clark will never be Superman!

[DDR Paladin356]

Ok, let me be a little more elaborative (im now just settling in).

Overall I thought the episode was pretty good.

The Positive:

Toyman was great. The actor played him very well, gave him a totally creepy edge.

Chloe and Oliver scenes were good. I like how Ollie is having the wrong sense of "Justice". Gives his character an interesting angle.

Lex's role (despite not being played by Michael Rosenbaum) was pretty cool. I guess it gives me the feeling that he planned everything out to be that way. Like he knew that Lana would want to help Clark save the world and be together.

Finally, the ending scene (IMO) was very powerful. I never really was a big fan of Clana (overdone in my opinion...plus I've always been more of a Chlark fan...still am). It was really sad...and I feel like it was a good ending for their relationship.

And the Negative:

As much as I liked Toyman, I kind of felt his part of the episode was resolved rather quickly. But, at least he's still alive.

I kind of felt like Kryptonite was used as kind of a "Deus ex Machina" to end the relationship.

Regardless, i thought it was a pretty good episode. I just hope Clark Mans up now...cause im kinda sick of seeing him be all mopey.

[Rival X The Great]

I gotta admit the last scene was done beautifully.

[legolazzz04]

thetownhero....I totally agree with you. I miss her a lot already. That pain looked so real. It is a sad day not having Clark and Lana anymore.

[Ginx]

Loved Toyman and the Ollie/Chloe scenes. Personally, I thought that Lana/CK could have ended better than having it go down like that.......

[bcooper56]

What was so bad about it lana is gone :)

[6-Super-Man -5]

The episode was quite good. :)

[DamienCPT]

Do these writers even know anything about Superman? He has to be told not to kill? WOW!

And then there is Lana... where to begin? She leaves Clark in the dust once more, and what is left for him? To pine for her for the rest of his life? I give up.

[Lex4President]

[mod edit]

[melissan02]

Horrible! Just horrible!


This silly boy in the red jacket WILL NEVER BE SUPERMAN!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!

[CKWannabe]

wow! talk about a cruel twist...i mean even if u wanted lana to go, u couldnt have wanted THAT!

[ClarkyBoy14]

Ollie is a murderer, Lex is dead, Clark would kill Lex if it weren't for "Touched by an Angel" Lana, Clark is in no way over Lana and there was no closure to the Clana closure. :(

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

I am sick and tired of all these bedroom scenes that have plagued the show for the last few seasons!
When I tuned in to watch tonight's episode of "Requiem", I was disgusted to see that after the opening credits the first scene was Clark and Lana in bed together.

GOODBYE SMALLVILLE!!

Oh my gosh! This is the thing that is so annoying. People "leave" Smallville because of one episode, or many episodes, when you know it will get better. In all honesty, I'm not trying to be mean, but the last sentence about the bedroom scenes is not a reason to quit watching a show.

[beatles4]

Sad ending (though I am a CLOIS fan!), and thought it was an okay episode. Just that some parts were not believable! (talking about some of the clana scenes)

[superhiro09]

Most of the episode I wasn't too fond off, but that ending was pretty amazing. The Toyman definately creeped me out and I really hope Queen won't take his new philosophy on "jusice" to heart.

[Alexander III]

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Sorry yea it was sad. Too bad, they're both destined to NOT to be 2gether. I'll miss Lana, I'll miss KK, I'll miss Clana. Wow wut a scene tho!!!

[SmallvilleMan]

That was the saddest scene i've ever seen in any show, movie or play........And yes, I feel like a wuss, but damn........It's all those years and now this........

[boredonenight]

Sorry, although the acting was spectacular, the only reason I cried was because I can't get the hour I spent watching this episode back. How was that closure?

[Rival X The Great]

[MOD EDIT]


I didn't cry I just said it was beautiful. I actually didn't feel nothing.

[moviefan2k4]

I'm a 28-year-old man myself, and even I wound up trembling while that last scene played. It was the kind of moment where you almost feel like its your own heart being ripped out. You feel so much sympathy for the characters, along with a fierce anger and desire for justice.

Simply put, what Lex did was beyond cruel; there are simply no words for it. I hope that he's still alive, and that Clark will someday get his payback for this tragedy (stopping short of killing him, of course).

[Lori Lemaris]

I cried so much...This will be the last time we will see Clark and Lana together...
Goodby Kristin Kreuk, Thank you so much.

[susangail]

Terrible. I gave it a 3, and that was kind.

[MJDSuperman]

mod edit

[zorasuperman]

all clark will ever do is pine for lana yet AGAIN
why will they never let clark or even lana have even a shred of happiness
they culd have let things go peacefully
but no they had to be forcefully sepaarated
im not a clana fan but that was stupid

[lm1212]

Can I get some negative numbers?!

Ok, well...
Positives:

The credits!!!

I can understand that some people may have liked this episode, thats fine. But I think this episode was worse than Power. Clana is done, that's great, but now, I do not want Clois. No way Clark deserves Lois after that crap.
All I asked for was a decent closure storyline here...but I got crap. CRAP!
I wanted to watch, just in case all things besides Clana may have been worthy. But no, I got Chloe and Ollie being written as out of their minds, and a cheese-filled villian. Oh, and "Lex" telling people "MAKE YOUR DECISION" like he was the new Jigsaw or something. Wack.

All in all, I'll still watch Smallville, but I can't say that this is my favorite show anymore. I just can't.

I give it a 1, because that's as low as I can go.




.

[Kid Collins]

The ending was so EPIC!! Clark and Lana don't end because they've moved on from each other, it's because they sacrificed their love for the greater good!!

The loft scene hands down for me the best SV scene ever!

KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!

Thank you PS3 for doing sweet JUSTICE to the Clark and Lana relationship!!

YES, they are star crossed couple. And I have absolutely no doubt that their the TRUE SOULMATES in this show!!

[6-Super-Man -5]

The last scene was pretty amazing, great episode, actually. :)
Now, I miss Lana... Come back Kristin! Think about returning for Season Nine, will ya? :D

[davidbrenton]

I was unhappy the first 30 of 45 minutes. But that last scene was some of the best acting/writing that Smallville has delivered ---especially from TW and KK.

I can appreciate the end of that relationship as a beautiful poetic ending. I still am bewildered at how they will handle Clois now though.

[AndiGirl]

Wusses!

:rotfl: Then I'm joining the "wuss bandwagon" Because I balled!

I dont even like Clana....but MAN, that last scene, ripped my heart out. I felt for both of them.....it was beautifull done. :(

[Alexander III]

Wusses!

Dude you're mean.

[thehenry89]

my dog would be a bette superman than clark...I have no words for how miserable this episode is, I can only thank god that i'm so intoxicated. cuz the shock has not hit me as hard as it will tommorow.

[doodie8808]

it was not that bad and im a cloiser!

[ajac]

FINALLY SHE IS GONE!! I mean in the comics she would come and go but not this much. Maybe now he will become superman and not super horny man

[cma_454]

O.K., I was wrong, Power was not the worst possible episode.

Too bad for words. Clark seemed weak and foolish. Oliver and Chloe seemed evil. The depiction of Lana was ludicrous.

I gave it a 1, because the poll allowed nothing lower.

IMHO, it deserves far lower. Requiem (and Power) managed to wipe out every positive thought and feeling I had for Smallville.

From this there can be no recovery.

Will there be a season 9?

I no longer care.

[Mrs. Superman]

Sorry but I think this episode could have been so much better without the "star crossed lovers" ending. Kryptonite?! REALLY?! UGH!!!! Why does the universe conspire against Clark and Lana every time they even come close to getting together? Just ridiculously stupid. And the only thing more stupid than this episode is Clark. I dont even want to call him that because of how much I love Clark Kent in all other incarnations, but this Clark will always fall dead last. Still love TW.

The only good from this episode was: shirtless Oliver and the great casting of Toyman.

[monel49]

Whew!!....Now that all that's done, let's get on with the real story. In all honesty, though, this was a much better episode then I expected, especially with last week's embarassment. In fact, I give it a 9. Why? After the juvenile romp in bed at the beginning ("Clark, where do you get your energy?"...please.), the story ramped up into a serious look at sacrifice and love. What tripped this episode into an very fine story was the fact that it was Clark who said, on the roof of the daily planet, "Lana, you have to do this." No wimp here. He knew that lives of thousands trumped whether Lana and he should stay together. Well done, Clark. About time to be an adult.

And although I am so glad Lana is gone, KK did great in this episode. No whining, no pining. In fact, I thought the ending was very moving. It was understated, which made it all the stronger.

I would not have taken the story in this direction, but since the writers did, I believe that we got the best resolution one could hope for. I really am glad we are done with this part of Clark's story. It's time for Lois and Clark to reign!

***After previewing this review, I realize I could have almost as easily written an equally negative review. Why the positive comments? I think it was the characterizations--especially the acting of TW and LL. They were believable and not pathetic. I wanted to hate this episode but as it played, I liked it more and more. A fine ending that I just didn't expect.

[kaam]

That last scene was great. I loved how they met again for the last time in the loft, where they have had their highs and lows, and also how Lana referenced her mom and dad and that night in the cemetery. It was one of the better endings

[bcooper56]

it was not that bad and im a cloiser!Don't you feel bad for Lois seeing how Clark will move on to her but deep down he will always love Lana more.

[B_M4N]

It was a great scene but what I liked about it most is what Lex did to them makes it really personal to Clark so their will not be any more trying to be nice to him this is where the hate comes from and it's totally understandable.

[CKWannabe]

well i've seen every Clana breakup there's been ( and there have been quite a few) but this was just plain HARSH!

[Jack-El49]

Didn't like it. Next episode, Clark tells Lois his secret. WTF is that? Then, 2 weeks afterwards, he's staring lovingly into Lois' eyes (except that Chloe is in there somewhere). HTF does that happen?

Wrong ending for Requiem. It was well-acted but over melodramatic. It should have been a clean break. I guess if 3 weeks later in SV time, he's looking lovingly into Lois' eyes, Lana couldn't mean that much to him.

One fact is true, Lana is kryptonite to Clark - it's why he acts the way he does when he is around her.

The best part: the end - it's a new day in Smallville.

[IheartCJK]

worst.episode.ever.

[Mrs. Superman]

PS I really just wanted to give this a 0, even though it was more entertaining than Power. I just think it took this whole story in the wrong direction. I feel like all I've seen Clark do these last five episodes is cry. :rolleyes:

[susangail]

It was bad on so many levels. Clark will never credibly move on.

[tibbit78]

I loved it. Kristin Kreuk was a good actress (crying). She actually made me cry.

Even Tom Welling had tears in his eyes. They were both good actors.

I hated the part where they kissed, and Tom's face cracked, because of the Kryptonite.

Thank god, neither one died.

Can't wait 'til the rest of the Smallville episodes come back in March.

[Var-Zol]

LANA WAS A COP OUT BY THE WRITERS!!! however i wasnt disappointed by toyman.

[MJDSuperman]

ugghh
this is the best episode in forever if you were a real smallville fan

the whole romeo and juliet thing with lana and clark but they didnt die just seperated for ever how do you not like this

oh yea it isnt the comics its not sussposed to be wouildt it be boring if it was a remake of the comics? thats why clark dosent fly

ill never make you guys understand but i guess if you never read the comics or saw previous superman shows you would understand.... that this deserves a ten it has drama romance violence comedy everything and best in a while

[dru-zod2501]

in spite of it all, no closure, murdering Oliver, stupid EVERYONE except Lana, I didn't hate this episode as much as I probably should. It just left me scratching my head for the most part

[atcannes]

can anyone tell me what happened uk here and wont see till 2maro??

[Fallen One]

I am going to rip Clana to shreds in my review.

I'm so glad you are gone Lana. I hate you more than I've ever hated any television character ever before. Good riddance.

[mrw66855]

First, this episode I thought was pretty good until they do what they always do and make lana . The hero and the one to sacrifice everything for the human race. I give this episode a one and a hope that once Lois comes back this season gets back to what it was beforelana story. I hope that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">Clark</st1:place> is back to being Superman. Now and will stay that way for the rest of the show and not a pathetic crybaby.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[shamville]

So happy lana gone. Thank god she screw clark up. I like chloe and olivers parts. I wish chloe could slap clark on oliver plane. He must rethink save her from brainiac. That lana mess up his mind.

[bennyjr123]

Horrible! Just horrible!


This silly boy in the red jacket WILL NEVER BE SUPERMAN!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!

Everyone is too hard on him. He's not superman yet, so of course he's not going to act like you think he should.

But anyway, this wasn't closure, not at all. if this isn't the last season, then this was a good episode, but if it is, then its not too good. Only because we all want to see Clark reaching the point where he pretty much IS superman. But this still seems like the journey there.

The ending was really sad, and I will miss Lana sooo much.

[legolazzz04]

You got to understand I have been watching Smallville since day 1. So for it to end kind of hurts. I remember when they first met in the the high school scenes and now for it to be all over.

I'm just like "Whoa, its actually over" and its sad to see Clark suffer through all this and still not be with the love of his life.

Just my opinion though.

[chloesmygirl]

If somebody didn't at least get choked up at that last scene they don't have a heart. That was one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.

[Krypton935]

that was so freaking sad!! bawling my eyes out! silently though... that was the most magnificent goodbye of the show the look of pain on clarks face the way they acted it out that was beautiful! what a great -but sad- ending

[braedon0]

Im with you man

[LucyK]

You know it's a bad episode when they ruin everyone on their show... Clark is a wuss, Olliver is now a lier, Chloe is killer... What's next? Shelby will attack someone?

[MJDSuperman]

Whew!!....Now that all that's done, let's get on with the real story. In all honesty, though, this was a much better episode then I expected, especially with last week's embarassment.

thank you sensible poster only diffrnece is i like lana and the clark storie but sensible post

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

Dude, I cried, too. It was so sad. I don't care what anyone says, that was a great exit for KK/Lana.

true

[ZODisGOD]

Look at all those 1s. This episode was better than Power definitely. I give this a 9/10. I think the Clana scenes were good (I'm not a relationshipper fan), but I was loving the toyman, lex, clark, evil oliver, bomb, etc... scenes much to mind the clana scenes.

[Ginx]

I actually thought that Kristin and Tom did a great job with the last scene although I didn't care for details surrounding it.

[myankskent]

That was a very sad scene, I have to admit. The love that they have for each other can't even be measured. For Clark to kiss her like that with all of that pain...can't even finish the sentence...

[Var-Zol]

LANA= COP OUT BY WRITERS! Toyman=Epic Win

Lex is alive, he spoofed the IP address to the truck, had a fake med lab set up in there and he was watching from a remote location when Ollie blew it up

[mrw66855]

I am going to rip Clana to shreds in my review.

I'm so glad you are gone Lana. I hate you more than I've ever hated any television character ever before. Good riddance.
I totally agree and I cannot wait for your promise above

[luvinChlark]

I actually don't really like Lana/Clana.

But I gotta admit when KK was balling, I felt tears coming. It was all so sad...

[bcooper56]

can anyone tell me what happened uk here and wont see till 2maro??Lana gets infected and Can not go near Clark with out him ending up dieing they have one last kiss and leave each other forever.

[Luthor5339]

Eyes welled up, but didn't cry. That was the most horrible thing Lex could have done to Clark. Knowing that the love of your life is out there, but you physically can't be there with her ever... that would really be a nightmare.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Dude, I cried, too. It was so sad. I don't care what anyone says, that was a great exit for KK/Lana.

For sure.
I hope she returns in Season Nine. :(

how exactly would you define a real smallville fan someone who just goes along with whatever happens out of some blind loyalty, or someone who points out flaws and things that upset them because they want the best show possible. I resent being called a "fake fan", because someone who was only a casual veiwer would have given up on this show 4 years ago.

[braedon0]

[MOD EDIT]

it might be because i didnt read the comics

but this isnt SUPERMAN this is SMALLVILLE its diffrent

[MOD EDIT]

the whole lana and clark relationship was good i mean it was beutiful romantic sad anoying violent and had a begining and a end i mean how was the ending not sad and just awsome

this is the best episode in forever

[MOD EDIT]
Im with you man

[Cyclonekat]

I think I may have disliked this more than "Power" if thats possible.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

One of the best episodes of Smallville in a long time.

[doodie8808]

no because lois is something totally different from lana and thats why i feel he will love her more something out of his element . Clark reminds me of my cousin hloding on and fighting for smoething that can never be because they are never truely happy together. if its not one thing its another with her husband. they gave it a good try but it was doom from the start because if not lex then something us would have once again pulled them apart !but what i don't like is that he loves lana whe n she is there and now that she leaves lois is one and only! tyen again i only saw the first 15 mins before my teacher said come back from break in "law and society" (talking about aboration for which i am againsts!

[MJDSuperman]

You know it's a bad episode when they ruin everyone on their show... Clark is a wuss, Olliver is now a lier, Chloe is killer... What's next? Shelby will attack someone?


wasnt chloe already a killer because this happned in a past episode

and oliver has been a lier

clark isnt a wuss its called love somthing you probably have never experinced

[Tatiana]

I honestly gave it a 9, i wasn't expecting much so I guess I wasn't so disappointed as most of you, I liked a lot of things about the episode, like toyman...he was scary. I liked to see Lex, even if it wasn't Michael, he was pure evil. Oliver was cool too, I guess he isn't very heroic, he is definitely human. I loved that he asked Chloe about Sebastian, the guy she killed. I do agree the closure was ok, but I think it was great Clark was the one that made the decision of Lana destroying the bomb, she turned to him for guidance to see what he would say, and he said " you have to do it" so even though he knew the consequences, he still decided his heroic side should prevail. The final scene was very touching, great acting and I do agree it will be hard to pull off the Lois/Clark love but who knows, the one that kept repeating I love you was Lana, and she said I will always love you, he never said that lol he did say I love you in the end but not I will ALWAYS love you. I don't know maybe I am being too naive :)

[skylar]

some parts of episodes were good and the rest of it really was bad
i will have to vote later so i can wrap my brain around what i just
watched

[reobeem]

This was such a heartbreaking episode. It makes me almost forget why I hated how Lana's story affected everything. First off not since Tena Greer has there been a character as creepy as Toyman. It reminded me of Child's Play with how he used toys to cause chaos. Next I noticed a heck of alot of hints from the early seasons including Lana's neckalece, Martha and Johnathan Kent mention, the pictures of Lex and Lionle, plus some others. I was also really shock at how far everyone turned from the path of justice, first the Legion wanted to kill Chloe and then Oliver killed Lex. By the way how Lex died seemed really anticlimactic and somehow I still think he's out there even if Clark droped the dirt just like he did for Johnathan and Lionle. It was painful watching Clark to force himself through a Kryptonite infected Lana for one last kiss and it was really sad. I think the song Goodbye by SR-71 really suited the mood of the episode.

I bid farewell to Lana Lang and Lex Luthor two characters who I'm sad to see go but they remain in our hearts forever.

[atcannes]

Lana gets infected and Can not go near Clark with out him ending up dieing they have one last kiss and leave each other forever.
cool thx

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

new to this thing just gettin me head around all the quote/reply lark :-/

----- Added 4 Minutes later -----

whens clark gonna fly properly??

[TayLaneBloom]

god... i didn' t laugh like that in years!

that was so stupid, that became funny.

fist. They make Toyman look like just another meteor freak, no big deal. When accually, he's one of the coolests DC villan.

second. they make Lana look like a super heroin, wath is just stupid! in commic books, shes just a crazy woman trying to get Clark back.

third. Lex looked like a angry regected woman, play his vendetta on the "happy coulpe". Like a crapy soup.

whel.. i got nothing to say about this.
is just ridiculous... but i'm glad!
cause finally, LANAS GONE! mmmmmhuahuahuahuaha

[halvor311]

People calm down!!! Clark will "never" become Superman? So there is no journey? If he does something that's not like Superman therefore he will never become Superman? How do you know that this isn't a life changing event? How do you know that this event isn't one of the stepping stones that Clark uses to influence him to become Superman? Anyway, a pretty good episode. I gave it a 7 b/c it was probably my least favorite of the season, however Lex, Toyman, Oliver, Chloe were all amazing. And the ending is so sad, but I think it was good, they sacrificed their own happiness for the love of Metropolis. That's pretty Superman and superhero like of both of them. And can Lex really be dead? I don't think he is, I seriously doubt that he was in that truck, remember he had a lot of clones so it's conceivable that he survived, although with Lex dead that means there's no actor issues with Michael Rosenbaum. By the way people, what is PS3? I'm racking my brain to find out what it is. Anyway, great episode. Can't wait for Infamous and the return of Lois. I hope there's one last 9th season.

[moviefan2k4]

The producers had better get Michael back, and there'd better be one heck of a fight between Clark & Lex in the series finale. Clark should beat him to within an inch of his life, and then pull the final punch at the last second. Lex could start laughing, and then one final strike would knock him out for a month.

[saltyweeks]

Most of the folks who post that they are trashing the Superman mythology know very little of the Superman mythology. I do wish that everyone who gives the episodes 1, thinks this is "the worst ever" and "will never watch Smallville again" would actually follow their own advice and find a show they liked so we didn't have to wade through all their comments.

There were some quick leaps in the first half but the episode was well done overall, with the last 15 minutes (during and after the song) being very effective. Oliver forced Chloe to look at her own values, which is always good (neat to see her thinking over her own actions, which makes her uncomfortable). TW did do a nice job, as he usually does, at the end playing a guy who believes he has the power to change anything and doesn't like being confronted with the fact he actually does not. I also liked the little nods back to the series' beginnings.

[Karafan1]

I actually liked this episode. I thought it was better than last week's show. The Lana absorobing kryptonite and never being able to be with Clark again thing was a surprising twist. Oliver basically blackmailing Chloe so she won't tell Clark that Oliver killed Lex was pretty good to. I'm sure Lex isn't dead, and they'll find a way to bring him back..I'm giving this episode 7/10..

[ims001]

wasnt chloe already a killer because this happned in a past episode

and oliver has been a lier

clark isnt a wuss its called love somthing you probably have never experinced

It's obsession, not love.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Just beautiful... *cries with happiness*
She will be missed, come back, Lana... in Season Nine. :D

9/10

[unfocused]

Amazing episode!!!

[MJDSuperman]

how exactly would you define a real smallville fan someone who just goes along with whatever happens out of some blind loyalty, or someone who points out flaws and things that upset them because they want the best show possible. I resent being called a "fake fan", because someone who was only a casual veiwer would have given up on this show 4 years ago.


ok not fake fan but their veiw of smallville is ruined because its not like the comics

given up for what why because again it wasnt like the stupid comic?

and the flaws are things that didnt happen in the comic so chloe is a flaw why no chloe hate?

is it because chloe wasnt in the comics and your picture of her grew from smallville and all you guys had ur picture of lana as a side character that was justs clarks high school sweetheart and nothing else? and that didnt happen in this show?


this isnt the superman comics tv show wake up i mean he will still become superman but not word for word by the comics and action by action by the comics because woudlnt that be boring you would know everything that happens

[tibbit78]

I am going to rip Clana to shreds in my review.

I'm so glad you are gone Lana. I hate you more than I've ever hated any television character ever before. Good riddance.






:lol:



I can't wait to read your review.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

Loved it!! 100/10! :lol:

[NoSupeForYou]

Can't wait. I only read along with the Discussion thread. I didn't watch and have read enough to know that I never, ever will. Superman sacrificed at the altar of Lana, all for the sake of a really bad, but all too typical CW romance.

[Krypton935]

i thought this was a great ep. it was well put together and executed and i thought it was great not a clana fan but that ending was sooooo sad and greatly done!

[6-Super-Man -5]

Loved it!! 100/10! :lol:

Yeah!!!!! :p

[nipvillesmlltuk]

i was unhappy the first 30 of 45 minutes. But that last scene was some of the best acting/writing that smallville has delivered ---especially from tw and kk.


ita :)

[ims001]

Most of the folks who post that they are trashing the Superman mythology know very little of the Superman mythology. I do wish that everyone who gives the episodes 1, thinks this is "the worst ever" and "will never watch Smallville again" would actually follow their own advice and find a show they liked so we didn't have to wade through all their comments.

I wish everyone that complains about having to read the negative opinions of this episode would just stop reading, so we don't have to wade through all their comments.

[sarcami]

At least Clark did some investigation by himself.
Lana is gone with her superpowers. Hope it keeps you warm at night. Don't think you are equal to a criminal mastermind next time. He will rip your heart out.
Chloe is getting darker. Yes. I see Doomy in her eyes
The end of Clana.Yeah. Too happy for words.

[Tatiana]

as hours go by, and days pass by, I think we will see more positive posts, the first reaction is anger

[Firebunny]

I laughed at the last Clana scene because it was so stupid.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yeah, I'm hoping the reaction gets better...

[Loisdragon]

this episode was CORNY

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

I give it a 5!

It was a good episode because of Oliver and Chloe's darker sides!!!! Wow that was awesome. I really Loved them in this epi...not that I usually don't. It was also cool because of Lex...I hope he is not gone forever on Smallville.

That's where that 5 rating came from.
They Lost the other five because:

1) I did not see the real Clark Kent!!!! Where has he gone?
2) As sad as the end was (I really mean it) they really killed any hope of Clois...that make me wonder why even push us towards Clois this season if that's what you're going to do!

[redeem147]

No, I don't enjoy watching scenes of Clark and Lana in bed. But from the beginning of the episode, it established that they were now physically equals. There's an aspect of their relationship that Clark can't share with another woman at this point.

They could also go be superheroes together. Again, Clark won't have that with another woman. He will be a hero with Lois, but they'll be relying on the power of the pen.

The Clark and Lana relationship came full circle. In the beginning, they were driven apart by kryptonite, and in the end, it will be kryptonite that keeps them apart. This establishes that a relationship with Lana would forever be connected to Clark's youth. It is not the relationship for his adulthood.

When Clark comes to Lana in the end, she doesn't run away, even though she knows her kiss could literally kill him. Ultimately, a relationship with Lana would be poison to Clark.

I loved the portrayal of The Toyman. He had a childlike quality in his joy of toys, but a very creepy quality as well.

I will miss Lex. I don't think for a moment that he's really dead, but I don't think we'll see him again. I was prepared to resent another actor playing the part, but I think they handled it as best they could. It was certainly too small a role for Michael to shave his head for the appearance.

I loved the moral ambiguity. Is Oliver a monster now? Was he just doing what had to be done? And I thank the writers for calling Chloe on what happened at the hospital.

My favourite part? Clark saying goodbye to Lex. The ashes running through his hand. For all that had happened, for all the pain, this was once a friend closer than a brother and Clark will always love him.

We've had our Lana hiatus, and I look forward to the return of Lois, Jimmy, Doomsday and to Clark getting back to being an adult.

[Loisdragon]

I laughed at the last Clana scene because it was so stupid.
:lol: me too. for moment i thought i was watching days of our lives

[Tatiana]

I still think the writers chose that story from the comic books where Lana is being controlled by Lex somehow, and she pushes the button to release kryptonite all over the world, toyman stops it apparently and Superman tells her thats why I am with Lois, I guess they wanted to kinda fix her character because they always make her seem like the crazy woman

[WildGoatTamer]

7. This wasn't the best episode but it was pretty good. I loved Oliver and Chloe this episode. They had some great scenes with eachother and Clark.

It was a nice change to see Clark being the moral compass instead of Chloe. I don't think I've ever seen Chloe sort of surrender to Clark the way she did tonight, it was interesting. What I loved about Chloe this episode is that you could see she was constantly thinking about Sebastien (IMO), I thought AM did a great job with that.

I liked how Oliver was very stubborn and firm in his beliefs. I've only seen and read a few things with the Green Arrow but I felt like this was one of the most in-character episodes for Ollie in Smallville yet. I like how he was understanding but tough on Chloe this episode it brought different sides for both characters.

Clana was pretty good this episode. I felt there was a major lack of Lana this episode, for some reason it just didn't feel like she was all there if that makes any sense. I think that helped her though, Lana didn't give off that arrogant vibe she usually does. It was refreshing! XD The ending scene was very sweet and sad, it really did feel like a good ending for Lana.

[origin]

I really enjoyed tonight's episode, I actually thought the ending was beautifully done.

[lanalover26]

well i just dont get
why chloe did not leave
clark is was & always will
be in love with lana 4ever
i will miss her i hope she will come back (if) there is gonna be a season 9
only this time
all the time she was gone she found a cure
so they can be together
besides the show is called
SMALLVILLE not superman

----- Added 3 Minutes later -----

I think i speak for all of the lana & clana fans out there

we will miss you lana:(:(:(:(:(

[kryptonhero25]

despite being anti-clana myself and getting sick of all the drama between them two, that last scene was so moving and powerful. as much as we all hate lana, you cannot deny some sympathy or sadness you felt. i've grown to become really annoyed with her character but those last 5 minutes or so were absolutely beautiful. this is coming from a guy who doesn't choke up that often, but seeing that really got to me. it was so powerful to see the anguish in clark and the true love he had. just him struggling to climb up those stairs was really moving. the episode wasn't that great but that last scene really did it for me in a good way. I felt the acting was really superb on that scene to bring me to that point.
please, everyone, share how you felt about it...

[bfuzze]

Is it me or does this show blow. I used to love it and watched it religiously, but since Lex disappeared the show has gone way downhill. Clark's naivete (accent on the 'te) and incessant whining has always been annoying, but lately it's just unbearable. Early on I chalked it up to adolesence, but apparently aliens don't grow smarter as they grow older. Here's a hint: if it glows green, don't touch it, moron. I think Jerel put more time into developing his son's looks than his brains. 8 freakin seasons and he still can't fly?!? Someone needs to throw this guy off a building.

Chloe has always been cute and entertaining, and Lana was kind of interesting when she had her stint on the darkside, but when she and Clark get together... arrrggghhh. There is this stale stench floating in the air... haven't we been here before? don't we know how this ends? DO WE REALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN?! Come on! Another 2 episodes wasted on these 2 lonely souls wrestling with forbidden love... (fake tears welling in my eyes), boo-freakin-hoo!

I should've known it was over when the they brought 3 kids back from the future... The legion?:confused: Huh?:confused: And to top it all off, he lets them leave with Brainiac!!!! Of all the stupid things Clark has done, THAT TOPPED IT! As many times as Brainiac has risen from the dead, and Clark leaves it in their hands to 'make good use of him'. Huh?:confused: Good move, Clark... good move.

The writers are apparently out of ideas. I think I'm done with this show.

[tyson08]

Terrible 'closure' for Clana, it wasn't any better than "Arctic".

Besides that, it wasn't such a bad episode. I gave it a 7/10.

[ClarkyBoy14]

I like the positive look on it. It helps me feel better about the episode. :)

[FLyxNERD]

yea i agree...KK and TW have good chemistry together

[LovelyLoisLane]

If somebody didn't at least get choked up at that last scene they don't have a heart. That was one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.


Call me heartless then, because I didn't get choked up.

It was a well acted and scripted scene and very powerful but it just didn't make me cry or get choked up or anything.

I think I got desensitized to Clana.

The episode itself felt really short though actually. Maybe there was more commercials or something. It just seemed like 'bing bing bing' and it was over.

[ZODisGOD]

Clark's "farewell" to Lex was really touching. I do want to hear from Lex again in some form by season's end.

[xHerox]

Honestly, following last week's episode I didn't think that there was anyway to reconcile Lana's storyline into something decent in just a single episode -- but I have to admit that this episode almost did. I don't think that this episode broke too much ground as far as cinematography or special effects, meaning that it was really all about the plot, which I thought was decent in the beginning but sort of lagged after awhile.

Towards the middle of the episode I found myself enjoying the storyline but feeling like they needed to give Lana a much better send-off, and that is exactly what the final scene with Clark and Lana was. I wasn't sure how the writers would handle the end of what has been one of the major aspects of the show since the very first episode, and while I thought the reason for why Lana must leave was a little contrived, it was presented very well. I found the final scene between Clark and Lana to be one of the most emotional of the season -- and perhaps of the series, for that matter -- and I think that something like it was needed to make it clear that Lana is genuinely gone this time around instead of just disappearing for a few episodes.

In addition, I think that this episode will get better with subsequent viewings, mostly because I know how the storyline between Clark and Lana concludes and can appreciate it for what it is -- which is the reason for the score of '8' that I gave this episode.

[Vergon6]

I thought most of the episode was pretty good, except for the Clana sex, Clark saying he couldn't trust Oliver, and Clark stumbling around and looking pathetic as he tried to make out with a Kryptonite-infused Lana.

Lana absorbing all the kryptonite looked pretty cool though.

[nic25]

this episode was CORNY

I agree.I mean the last scene was sad.I almost felt a little bad for them,but then i kicked back to reality.But it really wasnt that bad.I was loving Oliver in the beginning but then they made him out to a killer.I dont know everyone seems to be going in the wrong direction.

It could just be me but has anyone thought Chole seems a little different since Legion.She may be somewhat traumitized,but besides that she seems a little off.

I did enjoy seeing toyman for the second time though!

[doodie8808]

ita other clois are upset but i never expected for clois to hook up at all and clana is poision to each other! he will love lois because she is different from what he has always known!they have feelings and are confused about them! it would be unrealistic for him to fall in love with lois seven months after lana left just look at seasons five and six!

[ClLaLeChFAN01]

Ill have to watch it again...but it seemed that everyone in this episode wasnt themselves tonight.

Or..Lex just brings out a different side to them when he is threating the world, I dont know

[ledzepfan23]

It wasn't a bad episode. I give it a solid 8/10. Im happy lana is gone but i don't really like the way they got rid of her. They should have had clark end it and not leave him beng depressed and thinking about her.

[Larel]

Besides that disturbing gross last kiss between Clana which will take me a while to recover from, watching CK's face nearly turn to stone, this ep was ridiculous!:\

Everyone in the free world knows who CK's true love is.......Lois Lane so I am very annoyed SV chose to end Clana this way but when CK eventually falls in love with Lois I am positive if at any time Lana came back into his life he would never even have to question who he belongs with, Lois would prevail hands down!




CK may have loved Lana Lang first & for a while but he will love Lois last & for always!
That is the story & always will be!

[Tatiana]

I give it a 5!

It was a good episode because of Oliver and Chloe's darker sides!!!! Wow that was awesome. I really Loved them in this epi...not that I usually don't. It was also cool because of Lex...I hope he is not gone forever on Smallville.

That's where that 5 rating came from.
They Lost the other five because:

1) I did not see the real Clark Kent!!!! Where has he gone?
2) As sad as the end was (I really mean it) they really killed any hope of Clois...that make me wonder why even push us towards Clois this season if that's what you're going to do!

I beg to disagree, Clark was all over the episode, you can't say he was always that way with Lana and actually I saw a lot of improvement. Maybe in the past he would have chosen to let them bomb explode lol instead of having to sacrifice his love for Lana, instead HE CHOSE to save humanity with her help of course. He also investigated on his own, he gave his little speech to Chloe, and of course gave his famous "i'll find a way to fix this" just because he always thinks he can and thats honorable in him, at least he tries. He doesn't give up. I think he truly wanted to make Lana happy and I don't know if you guys noticed, but when they were in the room at the beginning, he didn't say I always dreamed I could work along with you, and be with you Lana, he just said he always dreamed he would have someone to do that with, he just thought it was her. SHe was the one that kept repeating I will always love you anyway, not him :)

[REebee52]

YEah even Clana haters gotta give respect.
It was one of those moments where I'm watching and say, "Damn. This is some of the best television I've ever watched." Smallville has the ability to beautiful, moving, artistic; everything you'd want in a story. Then they'll do something terrible and you'll wonder who thought it was a good idea. But this scene tonight was a great moment, no matter what your dispositions are to them as a couple.

[dimas]

man, i totally agree with you 110% that part with clark "trying" to get up those stairs got me right there, and really i have never sobbed up to this kind of thing :'(

[beresford_st]

ok. that was dumb. could've been done so much better. i've really been disappointed with the direction the show is going in. it's turned into a soap opera. i'm just glad i wont have to see anymore clana crap. i can't believe they didn't have rosenbaum play lex. how did he get disfigured anyway? why didn't lana use her strength to throw the bomb away instead of absorbing the kryptonite? very anticlimactic for lana's last episode. the way they killed her in episode 100 was so much better. couldn't they have done something similar?
also, that nurse was hot. not in a classical beauty kind of way... but there was something about her...

oh yeah... they casted the toyman perfectly. probably the only redeeming part of the episode.
and clark couldn't get within five feet of lana when she had a kryptonite necklace. so how did he manage to make out with lana for that long after she absorbed that much kryptonite???

the writers are idiots.

[Steve-El]

I told you! I told you all before! Steve Lombard was not in the episode and the actor did play one of the Board Members that got killed. And don't think Lex is really dead at all. Probably a Lex clone was used as a decoy that was probably blown to bits. Didn't have a tear for that scene.

[Mickey_Bickey]

Embarrassing and pathetic. I gave it a 1. I thought it would be better than Power, but it was worse. Clark looked like a bafoon! As I watching this, I kept thinking to myself didn't someone speak up and say how awful this looks?

The loft scene? Honestly, it was like a scene out of the Mummy while he was kissing her. Pitiful. The acting was off too.

Well, at least these episodes are done, and we can look forward to March where the story will pick up again.

[tippership commander]

If somebody didn't at least get choked up at that last scene they don't have a heart. That was one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.

agreed.......

I think this is the #1 thing that counts.

[MJDSuperman]

ugh i need the vent from all the hate for this episode and from all the comic readers who cant enjoy smallville for what it is because it dosent take the course of the comics and cant realize that it would be even more boring if it did take the course of the comics because you would know what would happen. and i cant get why if you hate it if its in the show and not in the comics why dont you hate chloe...

but what ever this deserves a 9/10

the ending of clana was so well done the pain of clark trying to get to lana to kiss her one last time i really didnt like how his face got all cracky little nasty but still awsome lanas emotion clarks emotion the love for each other the pain for never being able to see each other again ahh so romeo and juliet like so perfect

but lana wasnt clarks juliet lois is and he will still become superman even if it isnt like the dang comics.. but hey louis is comming back so you all should be happy

also clarks mourning for lex was so awsome the squeezing the dirt thing he doese so sad but awsome because it was his enemy and freind

[double L]

I thought Fierce, was bad, but this has to be the worst ever. The show has jumped the shark.

Only in Smallville, is Lois Lane, 2nd, to the melodramtic, angst ridden Lana Lang.

[green_arrow_girl358]

as much as it made me want to gag, it actually was pretty moving. like going out with a guy your parents don't like

[Tatiana]

ok. that was dumb. could've been done so much better. i've really been disappointed with the direction the show is going in. it's turned into a soap opera. i'm just glad i wont have to see anymore clana crap. i can't believe they didn't have rosenbaum play lex. how did he get disfigured anyway? why didn't lana use her strength to throw the bomb away instead of absorbing the kryptonite? very anticlimactic for lana's last episode. the way they killed her in episode 100 was so much better. couldn't they have done something similar?

Didn't I see this post already? wow dejavu lol

[bcooper56]

Don't worry next week Lana back and it all up hill from now

[Vergon6]

We all know Lex isn't really dead. I just wish that they would have teased that.

[LucyK]

We never found out who Lana was working for, how's that for continuity?

[gerber]

after last week's disaster of an episode, i really thought that this week would suck too. however, this episode was very well directed, cinematography during the rooftop scene was superb. the acting was perfect, especially the man who played toyman. the last scene was PHENOMENAL, even for a person that isn't a clana fan.

[Tatiana]

We all know Lex isn't really dead. I just wish that they would have teased that.


I guess they couldn't because they r not sure about MIchael

[Meteror Freak]

The ending to Clana was beautiful.
This was really a terrific episode. Everything came full circle, with a bittersweet end to the Clana. They really pulled off a beautiful send-off for Lana. :)

[Tatiana]

We never found out who Lana was working for, how's that for continuity?


Yes we did, she was working with that guy that trained her, he said that to Clark, he was the one texting her working from the mansion

[Isact]

Did anyone get to see the preview from next week? I did'nt. It was a poor episode though.

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

Ok...I'm really not getting the whole aspect of how amazing this episode is? It was a big cop out to the whole Clana arc. Did we really have to see Clark and Lana in bed together!

All of a sudden Oliver becomes the bad guy and this is a guy who...will be in the future Justice League. And Chloe now is actually a murderer and a lier.
Lex was found in a cheap truck, does that make any sense? If he is so badly ill he needs morphine etc, a respirator, medical equipmant that is necessity for survival....

Oh wait and it becomes so dramatic that Clark has to choose between Lana and saving thousands of lives?

I agree that it was heart breaking in the end. But this is not called closure for Clark or Lana.

And what is Lana going to do with her life after this? They cheapened her character by making her a martyr! Lois and Clark will not be real after a ending like this, this is just pathetic....:\

This is not closure for Lana and Clark its just a tragic love story, yeah I was sad but I wasn't happy. TPTB have a sadistic way of what they think closure is.:(

[beresford_st]

Didn't I see this post already? wow dejavu lol

hey i thought u were talkin abt chole n oliver (he is ckeeking up on her )amm no feeling wat so ever all i wented was for clana sceen 2 be done with an gone i mean i had no tears wat so ever cause nowing the writer lana will be back an clark gone go all puppy dog over her again i dont care but will miss kk . lana dont care bring on doommee

[NoSupeForYou]

Now that rumor of a Smallville spinoff makes more sense. I would not be surprised if they did a Lana spinoff where she becomes a superhero. Like Clark Kent, the writers just can never let her go.

[Lurchdaddy87]

OMG a decent episode, but I can see that this week will be nothing but pissing and moaning about Clark and Lana stuff. OMG this is not following the mythos Lex doesnt die and Clark doesnt end up with Lana. BOOWHO! people its Television and everything is different on tv and film. So Im not gonna be on this thread again I dont feel like reading all the bashing. I didnt think it was the best episode but it sure as heck wasnt the worst. I gave it a 7 it had continuity from previous seasons. I tied up some and left new things open like all good shows do.

[ClubXerxes]

As television goes, it was pretty good:

1) There was palpable tension between all the major players, and I loved how they all played with the line between good and evil, going back and forth
2) It was fast moving - no time for rest in this one
3) The final scene was heart wrenching - it was, whether you like to admit it or not
4) Winslow Schott - aside from being a bit hard on the eyes - was pretty good...still, I wouldn't have picked this dude for Schott, but that's just me

That being said however, there were parts that did not sit well:

1) Oliver is a killer - he is not a hero, he is a killer. He is now at odds with what the League is about...it's obvious he didn't kill Lex, so I see a cheap way out for him, but in terms of hero quality - boom, gone, done...yes, I said he didn't kill Lex - if there is one thing that the Lana clone taught me, is that DNA evidence recovered at the scene of an explosion involving a Luthor means NOTHING...


2) Chloe is now his accomplice - she was ALWAYS Clark's conscience, while Lana was vindictive and willing to do anything to protect Clark...How can they simply twist that around now to where Chloe is willing to accept this and Lana is now the defender of life - and in such a short amount of time? It makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER...I'm dumbfounded - add to that the fact that Chloe STILL is making no time for her husband...I don't even know what to say anymore...they have butchered her character, and I may even see a descent into darkness for her...truly sad...Ollie and Chloe played with the line between good and evil, but BOTH should have ENDED on the right side of that line...they did not...THAT sucks

and most obviously...

3) Clois is cheapened now beyond repair. If they expect us to believe that Clark and Lois are soulmates after THIS...they are smoking some quality stuff. The buildup to Bride was great because they were moving slowly and inevitably towards each other - now, it will simply feel forced. You cannot go through something that traumatic and resolve it in two or three episodes. Clana had eight years of heartache and love - do they really expect us to see the same with Lois after that - in whatever time is left on this show?


No - sorry - I can't see it now...it feels officially like Lois is sloppy seconds - and that's pathetic, considering that many (including myself) are tuning in specifically for the Lois and Clark story.



one more thing:

4) Everything that Jonathan and Martha taught Clark seems to be flying out the window. In no way does he resemble the man who was taking steps to become Superman...he always seems like he is the last to know everything. Is Superman really that dense? Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is smarter than he is? Why are they doing this to his character? ENOUGH WITH HIS HUMANITY!!! We GET IT!! His Humanity is his greatest weakness, yada yada yada...how many pep speeches does he need to become earth's greatest hero? (headbang into brick wall)




On a brighter note - they may be taking this road because they expect a season 9 - they will need more time to resolve the Lois/Clark relationship - if they don't, then I can honestly say the last four seasons were a complete waste bringing Lois in...

i don't think so, in kristin's last interview didn't seem to me she wasn't too eager to do more tv

[KalEl1208]

episode was very good. The ending was so well done. I loved how they mentioned past episodes and instances, made it very personal and a believable conversation. They couldn't have done that last scene any better. And their relationship ended in the barn, where it all started. :)

[6-Super-Man -5]

honestly this episode was fairly well done, great acting, and storyline.

Yeah, totally agree.

[MJDSuperman]

would you like to know the reason of the lengthy clana series its because the population of people who havent seen superman movies shows / comics are greater than those who have and only those can truley enjoy smallvile for what it is ( from what ive seen on this forum) and the writers must satisfy what the majority of its fans want

[KalEl1208]

i don't think so, in kristin's last interview didn't seem to me she wasn't too eager to do more tv

yea she definitely gives the vibe that she doesn't want to do much more tv. hopefully a cameo if their is a season 9. haha doubt it tho.

[SGuthrie27]

I gave it a 2. Awful. Just AWful. Ugh. Let's break it down now, shall we?

The Pros:

1) Um... Chloe was in it. For more than one scene, actually, which was nice.

2) AM, TW, and KK rocked in the acting department. They had to play a lot of different subtle emotions and strong passionate moments, too, and in my opinion they MORE than pulled it off.

3) At least they referenced some previous episodes and such, like with Lana's necklace, showing the photos of Lex and Lionel, etc. That, at least, was a nice touch.

4) Lex was there. Sort of.

The Cons... where shall I start?

1) The bed-breaking nastiness. Ugh. Double-ugh. That was disgusting.

2) The krypto-smooch. Two major gross-outs in one episode? Not a good sign.

3) Chloe getting so easily emotionally manipulated by Oliver. That was ridiculous, though I could understand where she was coming from at every point in the episode.

4) Oliver has been painted in such a dark light now. I can't believe that he actually did what he did after all he's been through and the lessons he's learned (even if Lex was trying to kill him and Tess).

5) Lana still has her powers?! WHAT?

6) Plotholes and inconsistencies that I can't name here, but the most obvious ones being the dangler about the text message from "Bride" -- never referenced again. The Toyman got away without any little malevolent scene at the end. Not to mention the WAY Lana was sent off and Lex's apparent "death" which basically blow canon and continuity to smithereens.

Agh... I'm too worked up to think of more to say now, though I probably could if I calmed down a little. I may post again later, just... ugh.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

i really felt bad for Lana, I liked how she said see Clark thats why u r stronger, cuz she couldn't take seeing him all the time without touching him, that was nicely delivered

[halvor311]

Didn't like it. Next episode, Clark tells Lois his secret. WTF is that? Then, 2 weeks afterwards, he's staring lovingly into Lois' eyes (except that Chloe is in there somewhere). HTF does that happen?

Wrong ending for Requiem. It was well-acted but over melodramatic. It should have been a clean break. I guess if 3 weeks later in SV time, he's looking lovingly into Lois' eyes, Lana couldn't mean that much to him.

One fact is true, Lana is kryptonite to Clark - it's why he acts the way he does when he is around her.

The best part: the end - it's a new day in Smallville.

There's no indication that Clark tells Lois his secret, he just gives her the interview, he might where some sort of costume or something. And how does Clark get over Lana? He knows they can't be together, then he sees Lois again and his feelings pop up again. That happens with people, they see their first love again after not having seen them in a while and their feelings come back. That's what happened with Clark and Lana. It's not far fetched that Clark might fall in love with Lois a few weeks after Lana.

[Mrs. Superman]

They seem to believe "soulmates" means being forced together because your first choice was not allowed by the almighty universe. :rolleyes:

[dreamsofnever]

So, I really wish I hadn't read spoilers, because I think I would have enjoyed this episode more if I didn't go into it knowing that in three episodes, Clark is supposedly going to be giving Lois a loving look. GRRRR

I didn't hate this episode. I actually really loved the Toyman. I loved Oliver in the beginning-totally kick-ass. I liked seeing him in the position of 'hero' in a business sense.

From there, I am sad that Clark and Lana didn't get closure. Regardless of who I ship, I think it's a shame that they set up this great love for the hero of our story and they end it in a way that doesn't give him closure at all.

Part of growing up is supposed to be realizing that your first love will always be in your heart, but might not be the one for you in the long run.

That said, if they planned to set Lana up as the love of Clark's life, I wish they would have given him a happy ending or at least ended this arc with hope for a happy ending.

I'm also very confused by what they're doing with Oliver's character. At this point, he seems to be going to the point of no return. So unless there's something else going on with him (like he's somehow not really Oliver) I'm not sure where they're taking this.

Oh, and yay for continuity in bringing up Chloe killing Sebastian Kane.

And I don't love the position they put Clark and Lana in, I appreciate that Clark was the one who made the decision to tell her to stop the bomb. I think it was a cheap way to write her off though.

I think the episode was well done and I almost cried at the last scene-it was very well done but also very depressing.

Yeah, I just came away really down after watching this episode and that's not what I want in watching a tv show for entertainment.

[NoSupeForYou]

Until the truck with TW's money gets redirected to her front door.

[ClarkyBoy14]

The last two episodes haven't been very good IMO, but I think the rest of the season has been great, better than the previous two.

[Mickey_Bickey]

Until the truck with TW's money gets redirected to her front door.


After seeing these episodes I wouldn't blame him if he exited stage right. The writers can't be trusted. It's a shame.

[Tatiana]

I think the whole Lana arc has some nice teachings, you are the decisions you make, she definitely decided to get the suit knowing there might be consequences and bad ones...Clark decided to tell her to destroy the bomb, knowing what it would do. The more I think about it, the more i liked the episode, it showed how all of them have made decisions that changed them forever, that's life

[Saber]

All I can do is compare this episode to Swiss cheese, it had enough holes to leave me empty with a cheesy stench.
Clark was left to look like a pathetic idiot. So now he is going to whine about this for how long…. AHHHH.
Lana is off to save the world with her new powers and Clark is there like mush. I wanted this Clana thing to end on his terms and for him to be stronger for it, like a man.
I wanted "him" to walk away with a clean slate. Now he is going to be whining, whining about how they can’t be together.
I think what frustrates me the most is that in these 8 years he has shared all his “first experiences” with Lana, what is left that‘s unique to share with Lois. He has already been there done that with someone else. This Smallville version of Lois will always be second best to Lana.

So, last we saw Lex he could hardly move in the Artic and all of sudden he is in a truck in Metropolis…a freakin truck. AHHHH…that was definitely a brain fart by someone in the writing department. Cop-outs for not being more creative with Lex’s character, such a damn build-up with Lex in the FOS. I was hoping for a stretched out arc, only to be left empty by him being killed in the back of a truck by a toy monkey at the hand of Oliver. AHHHH…

I gave it a 4 because my finger slipped on my keyboard, I was shooting for a 2.

[beresford_st]

supernaturals closing scene is by the alex frasier bridge in vancouver. on the other side of the water is lex's fertilizer plant #3 from the first few seasons of smallville.

[MJDSuperman]

my favoriite part besides the taboo part on this website ( clana) was the clark squeezing the ashes or dirt like he always doese at a tomb for lex the look on his face and everything

even know lex isnt dead itss till awsome

[nede]

As television goes, it was pretty good:

1) There was palpable tension between all the major players, and I loved how they all played with the line between good and evil, going back and forth
2) It was fast moving - no time for rest in this one
3) The final scene was heart wrenching - it was, whether you like to admit it or not
4) Winslow Schott - aside from being a bit hard on the eyes - was pretty good...still, I wouldn't have picked this dude for Schott, but that's just me

That being said however, there were parts that did not sit well:

1) Oliver is a killer - he is not a hero, he is a killer. He is now at odds with what the League is about...it's obvious he didn't kill Lex, so I see a cheap way out for him, but in terms of hero quality - boom, gone, done...yes, I said he didn't kill Lex - if there is one thing that the Lana clone taught me, is that DNA evidence recovered at the scene of an explosion involving a Luthor means NOTHING...


2) Chloe is now his accomplice - she was ALWAYS Clark's conscience, while Lana was vindictive and willing to do anything to protect Clark...How can they simply twist that around now to where Chloe is willing to accept this and Lana is now the defender of life - and in such a short amount of time? It makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER...I'm dumbfounded - add to that the fact that Chloe STILL is making no time for her husband...I don't even know what to say anymore...they have butchered her character, and I may even see a descent into darkness for her...truly sad...Ollie and Chloe played with the line between good and evil, but BOTH should have ENDED on the right side of that line...they did not...THAT sucks

and most obviously...

3) Clois is cheapened now beyond repair. If they expect us to believe that Clark and Lois are soulmates after THIS...they are smoking some quality stuff. The buildup to Bride was great because they were moving slowly and inevitably towards each other - now, it will simply feel forced. You cannot go through something that traumatic and resolve it in two or three episodes. Clana had eight years of heartache and love - do they really expect us to see the same with Lois after that - in whatever time is left on this show?


No - sorry - I can't see it now...it feels officially like Lois is sloppy seconds - and that's pathetic, considering that many (including myself) are tuning in specifically for the Lois and Clark story.



one more thing:

4) Everything that Jonathan and Martha taught Clark seems to be flying out the window. In no way does he resemble the man who was taking steps to become Superman...he always seems like he is the last to know everything. Is Superman really that dense? Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is smarter than he is? Why are they doing this to his character? ENOUGH WITH HIS HUMANITY!!! We GET IT!! His Humanity is his greatest weakness, yada yada yada...how many pep speeches does he need to become earth's greatest hero? (headbang into brick wall)




On a brighter note - they may be taking this road because they expect a season 9 - they will need more time to resolve the Lois/Clark relationship - if they don't, then I can honestly say the last four seasons were a complete waste bringing Lois in...



ITA......wat really bugged me was the whole chloe and ollie situations.....

chloe is not a VILLIAN! nd neither is ollie!.....i know where there trying to go here...make chloe a bad guy and betray clark in some heart breaking way...nd making ollie lose himself again into a darker side too....

nd in less than a couple of eps too....i think this whole ep was a cop out...

dnt even get me started on the clana...it was sad i admit.....but now its like he just chooses lois cuz lana isnt available

this means its going to be more time until clois...unless they just make them fall in love in 1 ep....changing things drastically in lil time seems to be there specialty.

[BadToad]

Just utterly and completely awful. In every way. And its not enough how much they screwed Clark (and made Lex all about Lana/Clana), but they did a tapdance of character destruction on Oliver and Chloe for good measure.

Awful.

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

LovelyLoisLane

The episode itself felt really short though actually. Maybe there was more commercials or something. It just seemed like 'bing bing bing' and it was over. This episode did feel really short...I don''t know why?

[6-Super-Man -5]

"Requiem" was a good episode.
The upwards spiral has begun. ;)

[Kel-El09]

The ending was so EPIC!! Clark and Lana don't end because they've moved on from each other, it's because they sacrificed their love for the greater good!!

The loft scene hands down for me the best SV scene ever!

KK and TW totally rocked that scene!!

Thank you PS3 for doing sweet JUSTICE to the Clark and Lana relationship!!

YES, they are star crossed couple. And I have absolutely no doubt that their the TRUE SOULMATES in this show!!
Absolutely positively one hundred percent agree. Couldn't have said it better!!!!!

[ledzepfan23]

"Requiem" was a good episode.
The upwards spiral has begun. ;)
I agree

[nic25]

would you like to know the reason of the lengthy clana series its because the population of people who havent seen superman movies shows / comics are greater than those who have and only those can truley enjoy smallvile for what it is ( from what ive seen on this forum) and the writers must satisfy what the majority of its fans want

Exactly!....I understand modifying and changing bits but, I know very little about superman and ive learned alot more here.But the people that dont will think that this a the true superman story.They cant rewrite the whole story,b/c then it should be called something else.Isnt the Clark Kent/Superman story what people see and learn about? (while being entertained,of course)

[MetropolisGirl4SV]

agreed. i especially hate what they're doing with chloe. she has been my favorite since season one and the last season or two they're really been screwing with her. she's kindof become a catch all for everything on the show. what they did with her this episode is horrible.

[Rainchyld]

It was nicely done, in most ways. Most of the episode wasn't as great as other episode's this season though. I thought it was absolutely fantastic that Clark didn't hesitate when he told Lana she HAD to diffuse the bomb, regardless of the consequences to their relationship. I thought it was sad when Clark went and kissed Lana for the last time and you could see how much it was physically hurting him. I thought it was stupid that Clark practically begged her to stay. (I was glad when Lana reminded him that they made their decision on the roof of the Daily Planet.) I thought it was even worse that "Clana" ended the way it did (ala her = kryptonite and them having no choice) rather than Clark and Lana actually making the decision to end their relationship. The way Lana left last time was FAR better. Why? Because now, in a couple of weeks Clark "stares lovingly" into Lois' eyes... how is that supposed to be even remotely believable now? Either Clark doesn't really love Lana as much as he let on (which I think everyone can agree is not the case) and gets over her REALLY quickly, or Clark simply can't be single and is jumping to Lois, as a runner-up to Lana. I don't like either of those possibilities. - Overall, when Lana walked out of the farm, I was relieved that -finally- Lana is gone permanently and Clark and move on... for real this time.

P.S. I don't buy that Lex is really dead. I'm not sure how but I just don't buy it. People on Smallville have a habit of coming back from the dead and that kind of ending for a character like Lex is just pathetic.

[spideyfan]

the episode was decent...i am glad that the clana is over and the ending was sad and well done...

i liked the casting for Toyman...oliver added a twist as did chloe...in the end, i am looking for the season to move forward...

7/10

[jor-eldeux]

The thing made no sense from the first scene. She has no super powers except for the suit. But (unless I missed something about the birds and the bees) she was naked in bed with the character pretending to be Clark. No suit - no powers.

The Toyman - totally missed opportunity to present an awesome enemy to Metropolis. Why? Because of the Clana thing. Do I hate "Clana" - nope. I have no "feelings" for a people who don't actually exist. Am I hung up on a comic book? Nope, I finished with the comics a long time ago. Can Lois still be Clark's soulmate in this story line. I don't think so. There is no reason for Clark to put aside his feelings for Lana - but he will. It was indeed quite a Superman moment to sacrifice the relationship - if it was a relationship. This character - pretending to be Kal-EL/Clark Kent of comic/small screen/big screen/animated series history - but there was no relationship. It has always been one long dysfunctional interaction between Lana and the pretender. My issue isn't and never has been "Clana" - it's with a character that I have known all my life - unable to fight his way out of wet paper bag when it comes to this female character. He flipped back to her without a second thought of the woman he was romancing at the wedding. I don't care if it was Lois or Chloe or Wonder Woman. Will a Clark/Lois relationship be believable now? Why not? This character only took seconds to dump Lois to go to Lana. Going back to Lois now shouldn't be a stretch. That's what I dislike about the character and the show. This Lanaville certainly has served as a launching pad for KK. I wish her well and would certainly watch her in something else.

I am rambling. I said all that to say this. I think the entire storyline was .. well ... (and Cedric you will most assuredly find the words) but for now I will leave it at .... stupid. The main points of the last 8 years are certainly not Supermanish. You can put Clark back in Smallville - but you cannot take out the Superman - not in Smallville, not in Metropolis - not with green eggs and ham. I certainly hope somebody takes the initiative to do another Superboy series - fixing this tripe and effectively mind wiping all of us that we might forget it and move on.

[SparkleforSmallville]

Lot's of people were interested, Requiem, broke the KryptonSite record!

"Most users ever online was 1,869, Today at 06:40 PM."

[beresford_st]

i may sound dumb, but i am new around here.... what are people referring to when they mention "PS3"?

[quietone]

This is how Clana ends?! Total Cop Out.

[AndiGirl]

I honestly liked it alot! :)
While a lot of the characters seem to be....taking a turn for the dark side, I thought it was really entertaining! the toymaker was just awesome!

And even though I dont prefer them....my heart broke for Clana.

So I gave it a 9! :)

[Tatiana]

agreed. i especially hate what they're doing with chloe. she has been my favorite since season one and the last season or two they're really been screwing with her. she's kindof become a catch all for everything on the show. what they did with her this episode is horrible.


what did they do to her? I think she was great

[double L]

If this episode is not jumping the shark, I don't know what is. Only is Smallville's universe is Lois, the 2nd choice to Lana Lang.

Considering how well this season started out, it really is a shame they have ruined it by bringing back the melodrama of Clana. Hopefully, the show ends this season.

[Kel-El09]

Some of y'all are unbelievable. I understand that we have been on this Clana roller coaster for a long time...and I know at points it got pretty irritating. But..you know who he ends up with..so it shouldn't bother you that much. Lana shapes Clark's beginning...it's that simple.

I don't think he was a coward in this episode. On that roof..Lana looks at Clark, and basically says with her eyes that she doesn't want to touch that bomb. Clark tells her that she has to. He understands that he can't put Lana before the rest of the world..that is a huge step towards becoming Superman. Do y'all not see that?

And while I agree, I have no idea how this Clois thing is going to work out, they know what that couple means to Smallville/Superman fans around the world. I have faith in them to not screw that relationship up. It's iconic!!! So just show support..and watch.

So, I will admit..I cried like a baby. It was beautifully done! When lana starts sobbing, it is so sad. It makes you think...the first time clark/lana/tw/kk had a scene was in season one when Chloe and Pete bet him five bucks he can't get within five feet of Lana, and as he's walking towards her, because of her necklace, he falls down. NOW, the last scene they ever do, he's walking towards her, and is sick from the kryptonite, and falls to his knees. Pretty cool continuation in my eyes.

So, now you know they are done forever. Clois is coming, for those of you who want it. And..it will be great!!!

[Marfeic2011]

As promised, if things went down as we knew they would, this would be my last episode - which it will be...

It would have been better if she died - this way like she said "we will always be together no matter whtat" so clark's heart will always be hung up on her AND HE DIDN"T CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY FROM HER so we know that Lois is NOT & would never have been (thanks to the way it ended) chosen over lana, she is second fiddle, leftovers - they have ruined clois for smallville - and I personally believe that was 100% their intention. I do not think they anticipate a 9th season, I think they are sending a message that smallville was never about superman or Clois at all but about Clana - the way they wanted to tell it. Well congrats PS3 - it worked - now you have a show about a sniveling spineless heartbroken and devastated guy who I couldn't possibly imagine becoming a hero, let alone superman... And I swear if they follow through with the shows as planned, having him make googley eyes at lois in that upcoming episode, its going to be such a slap in the face to superman history - OR WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING? HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE INSULTED IT WORSE THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE - HOW COULD THEY HAVE SPIT ON THE HISTORY AND LEGACY ANY MORE - HOW COULD THEY HAVE RUINED CK'S CHARACTER & CLOIS ANY FURTHER? They couldn't - this show is no longer about a guy who grows up into superman - I don't know what its about, and I don't care to find out. RIP SMALLVILLE, I hope someone who knows what there doing gives it another go someday & is successful - but this show is a disgrace to the ck/superman story in my opinion...

I like to watch things that are worthwhile, that lift me up, that make me feel better - not worse... so I am done... I had alot of fun these last few weeks chatting, posting & venting with you all... take care & good luck to those of you who stick around & continue watching this trainwreck... tootles xoxo

[DWBSR620]

What in the name of Shelby were they thinking ending this relationship in this manner. My goodness this is what we're left with, a Clark that will be with Lois Lane in the future not by choice because she is the true love of his life, but because Lana, oh excuse me, Super Lang has been kryptonite enriched and is poison to Clark. This whole story arc makes me sick, physically sick in my stomach. So Super Lang the hero leaves and does the right thing because of the danger she is to Clark but rest assured she'll always be watching over him. I think that this is absolute garbage the the Producers have given us as and ending to this fabled relationship. In 5 episodes they've completely DESTROYED all the wonderful progress they made in the first 10 episodes. I would've never expected that they'd do such a miserable, wretched job in handling Lana's exit. Really Producer's, really, this is the best you could come up with? Yet then again given the overall track record of the series I guess we should have seen this coming, I mean the show is about Lana Lang's rise to become our greatest hero, right? I love Smallville, but in all honesty for the first time in all these years I really am not certain I care to watch it anymore. How are they going to present us a Clark Kent that could possibly resemble Superman as we know him. Unbelievable garbage, that's what they've delivered, and that's pathetic. I don't know, maybe they're deliberately destroying the series with this mess, and after the great start they gave us why would they've thought this is what we wanted. Take care.


Peace To All :cool:

[beresford_st]

what did they do to her? I think she was great
it's like they're slowly turning her into a.... well, "villian" isn't the right word. she just seems to be not as trustworthy as she has been all along. then again now that i'm thinking of it, i may be wrong. i can't put my finger on it, but i just don't like it. really i don't like what they're doing with any of the characters lately.

[paolinki25]

What do I think? I don't even have words to express how disappointed I am.

[greatodinsbeard]

Even in the comics Lois was never Clarks first choice. It was Lana, then Lori Lemaris, then Lois. Heck after the 1985 reboot Clark went out with Cat Grant, he didn't even like Lois at first.

[ims001]

would you like to know the reason of the lengthy clana series its because the population of people who havent seen superman movies shows / comics are greater than those who have and only those can truley enjoy smallvile for what it is ( from what ive seen on this forum) and the writers must satisfy what the majority of its fans want

I get so tired of these kinds of condescending comments.
<o></o>
The highest ratings (number of viewers) Smallville has ever gotten has never been more than a fraction of the worst ratings received by Lois & Clark, and only a miniscule fraction of the number of people that have seen the Superman movies. Even the Adventures of Superman in the 1950’s had more viewers than Smallville.
<o></o>
So maybe if the writers would spend a little more time thinking about the large number of Superman fans, and less time catering to the tiny group Smallville only fans, they might not be struggling to keep the ratings in the low 4’s.<o></o><o></o>

[Mickey_Bickey]

If this episode is not jumping the shark, I don't know what is. Only is Smallville's universe is Lois, the 2nd choice to Lana Lang.

Considering how well this season started out, it really is a shame they have ruined it by bringing back the melodrama of Clana. Hopefully, the show ends this season.

I think there's a good possibility it will. I'm sure TW will want out after seeing this on screen. He deserves a lot better than what the writers did here. Frankly, so do the viewers and fans of Superman.

The writing collaboration failed miserably.

[Tatiana]

I definitely agree, i've been saying the same lol especially about the roof scene, i gues we saw the same

[Ray Man]

I'm hoping that the show will be better now that Lanas visit to Smallville/Metropolis is over...

[Rainchyld]

We never found out who Lana was working for, how's that for continuity?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too.

[Eryeal]

*goes to Webster's dictionary to re-read the definition of "closure"*

Man what a letdown .. the season started off soooo great, above everyone's expectations .. Clark was moving on .. acting more and more like Superman .. getting closer to Lois ..

then ... TRAINWRECK .. everything that was building up and looking so promising gets torn down. Clark decides to go right back to where he was seasons ago -- "let's screw the world, I just want to be with you" despite HOW MANY TIMES realizing that this wasn't the right thing to do? Did the writers even watch the last few seasons? .. then of course ... Lana with superpowers and she goes off to save the rest of the world .. this is "closure"??? Man I must be really missing something. The videotape was more closure than this. So the series is gonna end with superpowered Lana somewhere in the world fighting crime?

Clark coming to the realization that he simply can't be with Lana because of what danger that would bring to her is 500x more closure than this.

What also makes me mad is that Toyman I thought was great - acted perfect. And then wasted on such an episode that takes the series back 3 seasons. And now Lex is dead ... again .... like there is some suspense there or someone out in the world that really believes Lex is gone and they've just rewritten the comics.

It's going to be hard for me to watch the rest of this season. And then in a way, I really hope there is another season so they can reverse a lot of this crap. Please don't let the series end with (a) Lex being thought "dead" (b) Lana being Supergirl around the world (c) The Green Arrow "killing" Lex (d) Clark forever loving Lana and the only reason they don't stay together is a Kryptonite power suit ...

*heavy sigh*

[Tatiana]

it's like they're slowly turning her into a.... well, "villian" isn't the right word. she just seems to be not as trustworthy as she has been all along. then again now that i'm thinking of it, i may be wrong. i can't put my finger on it, but i just don't like it. really i don't like what they're doing with any of the characters lately.


I understand, I didn't see it that way, I actually saw she was trying to protect Clark as always, all characters have made mistakes and she isn't the exception, after Clark gave her the speech, she did help him. She was just confused about her feelings, I can't say I wouldn't have if I were her. For once she knows it is wrong to take actions into your own hands, but she also wanted to protect her BFF. I know if someone hurt my son, my husband or my family, I'd react the same way. I think it just shows how human she is and Oliver too. Even Clark felt that anger and need for a few minutes after Lana absorbed the Kryptonite, and he had felt that before during season 6 and also when his dad died

[dimeo782002]

I actually liked this episode because it followed true smallville cannon. this is smallville and when i first started watching smallville i was all into original superman cannon but smallville changed me because it was a fresh take on the early superman years and it kept me interested. This episode was smallville cannon because in SMALLVILLE CANNON lana lang is clarks true love. it used to disgust me it really did after season five i was totally tired of clana and wanted some chlark.

see thats whats ironic about all of this im a chlark fan LOL !

anyway having lana back this time did not really upset me because atleast the show was true to its form. i spent the first half of the season watching a totally different show it was like a dam lightswitch went off and smallville was something else. but i will say clark kent was progresing and moving towards being superman and it was nice to see but i feel and im one of the few that believe he was moving forward on his own , not because of lois lane.

now i will say and do agree clark does seem to slow down when it comes to lana but it is because he loves her and atleast i believe this relationship , i havbe watched this relationship for 8 years and although it nauseated me at times i have come to understand it, the tragedy of it all.

anyway Smallville has done something i agree with. They changed history because lana lang will always be clarks unrequited love. although im a chlarker , i no longer have to hear that destiny and comic books will be all controling in the smallville universe.

because no matter who clark is with from now on everyone chlrkers and cloisers will have to ponder this ??? if lana was not filled with kryptonite would clark be with lois , chkloe or any other women ?the answer is no he wouldn't


so i liked this episode because it set some things straight. smallville is smallville and the writers will do what they want no matter what superman history says.

NOW I IM UPSET ABOUT LEX HE IS NOT DEAD I DO NOT BEILEVE IT !! if lex luthor is in fact dead then nothing in superman legend is safe in smallville and that is what this post is about SMALLVILLE IS SMALLVILLE HISTORY JUST GOT A REWRITE.

I am upset about oliver queen, he is becoming a real dip stick lol ! and pulling chloe along and bringing up that she killed someone was good cause it is continuity, was it chloe or was it brainiac ? i believe this will be answered but i feel oliver is black mailing chloe in a way by bringing it up like oh if you tell clark i will tell clark you killed whatever his name was.

i gave this episode an 8 because i actually felt like i was watching smallville .
yes chloe was not in very much of the episode but it was smallville cannon to me and it was the end of clana. as long as chloe and clark stay very close friends i will be happy.

i hav eto agree that although the first half of season 8 was different for me i would prefer that erica durance been around for some of the lana episodes because it will be like two separate shows now lois will return and it will be like will clois pick up where it left off or will lois be cold. will they lightswitch clark again lois will walk in and poof he will be over lana . i don't want that because ( sorry people ) because it will screw the show again. obviously clark loves lana very very much even though we don't like it i don't want him running to lois right away because after this episode it would make him look sleazy and a rebound and if clois is so iconic then i think the relationship should be given more respect.


with that said lex dead.... come on.. how can anyone even yell about mythology in smallville ? lex is dead again, lanyway i liked it , it felt like smallville . and i have to say even though im not big on clana the end had me teary eyed.

i gave it an 8

[Timester]

Even in the comics Lois was never Clarks first choice. It was Lana, then Lori Lemaris, then Lois. Heck after the 1985 reboot Clark went out with Cat Grant, he didn't even like Lois at first.

Half true. Yes, it was Lana then Lori then Lois, but Clark loved Lois the first day he saw her when he saved the shuttle, that's why he stayed in Metropolis.

Yes, he dated Cat, but only because Lois ignored Clark all the time (there is a issue actually, that Lois realizes about her feelings about Clark, goes to his apartment and see Cat there).

[beresford_st]

*goes to Webster's dictionary to re-read the definition of "closure"*

Man what a letdown .. the season started off soooo great, above everyone's expectations .. Clark was moving on .. acting more and more like Superman .. getting closer to Lois ..

then ... TRAINWRECK .. everything that was building up and looking so promising gets torn down. Clark decides to go right back to where he was seasons ago -- "let's screw the world, I just want to be with you" despite HOW MANY TIMES realizing that this wasn't the right thing to do? Did the writers even watch the last few seasons? .. then of course ... Lana with superpowers and she goes off to save the rest of the world .. this is "closure"??? Man I must be really missing something. The videotape was more closure than this. So the series is gonna end with superpowered Lana somewhere in the world fighting crime?

Clark coming to the realization that he simply can't be with Lana because of what danger that would bring to her is 500x more closure than this.

What also makes me mad is that Toyman I thought was great - acted perfect. And then wasted on such an episode that takes the series back 3 seasons. And now Lex is dead ... again .... like there is some suspense there or someone out in the world that really believes Lex is gone and they've just rewritten the comics.

It's going to be hard for me to watch the rest of this season. And then in a way, I really hope there is another season so they can reverse a lot of this crap. Please don't let the series end with (a) Lex being thought "dead" (b) Lana being Supergirl around the world (c) The Green Arrow "killing" Lex (d) Clark forever loving Lana and the only reason they don't stay together is a Kryptonite power suit ...

*heavy sigh*
well said. i hope they do another season too. it would be a shame to waste 8 years of work on an ending like this.

[Rainchyld]

The thing made no sense from the first scene. She has no super powers except for the suit. But (unless I missed something about the birds and the bees) she was naked in bed with the character pretending to be Clark. No suit - no powers.

I could be wrong but I think they got away with that because the suit is more of a "skin" - being on her but became a part of her. That''s my thought at any rate.

[hatie123]

Wow this was such a sad episode. Just when they could be together Lex tears them apart forever. I cried thru the whole last scene. It was painful to see clark and Lana kiss for the last time.
This is definately one of my favorite episodes.

[rosasc]

Hated it

[caribbean08]

I pretty much bawled my eyes out, and continued for like 15 minutes after the show was over....

[ilovethursdays]

perfectly said.

[rip23]

I enjoyed the show I think in sumway we might c sumthing wit lana n a paper sayin mystery person saves sumone ..da last scence was really hard to watch seeing da pain but I still think she might cum bad and they both will kno it was best to move on

[beresford_st]

is anyone else disappointed that Chloe and Clark never had anything that lasted longer than one episode? i always thought they were perfect for each other. until a few seasons ago i was hoping for the chlois theory to come true (that chloe would eventually turn into lois). they couldn't do it now. but the end of season three would have been the perfect setup for it.

[ilovethursdays]

as soon as it ended i wanted to watch it over and over again....but had to move on to grey's anatomy but then i remembered i recorded it! yay...
such a beautiful closure to their long rollercoaster relationship..i wish she would have still been standing there when he breathed i love you

the pain in their eyes and the chemistry was amazing....ah smallville love.


now time for lois.

im glad they never hooked up.

yeah, they never really explained it... but that's the conclusion i came to. they could've been more clear on that one.

[Kid Collins]

The last scene was the most powerful, moving, well acted scene in SV history, imho.

The feelings that KK and TW were able to bring to the scene made me cry. Not ashamed to admit it.

[Tatiana]

mind u he still didnt say i will always love u like she did

[eas]

Wow... I cried. Like, I literally had tears pouring down my face. I couldn't even come on these boards until now, because I need to compose myself & take a minute. I had to watch another TV show to kind of get past it.

My thoughts:

-- Amazingly enough, the whole Toyman/Green Arrow stuff was pretty interesting. I'm sad that such an interested sub-plot was wasted on this episode. It would have been nice if there was an episode that ONLY focused on Toyman (w/o him working for Lex) and his relationship with Ollie.

-- Chloe is in Smallville & Metropolis... back to her normal life. She has no connection to her husband (who almost died for her) and she was the one who murdered Sebastian. I have no sympathy for her, at all. She sucks.... any remaining fondness I had for her character (which was almost none) is gone.

-- Lois.... oh, Lois.... where art thou??? Not only have they shipped you off to be Jimmy's nurse (um... hello, why is that not Chloe? Oh yeah, Mack had them sign her for 22 episodes..) but no mention of you? Of course not... forget that you've got a job in Metropolis, your whole life is there and you've got your own issues. But, yeah, it makes total sense that you'd disappear off to Star City to hold your cousin's husband's hand -- when even SHE can't be bothered. And, yeah, that makes so much sense that the brilliant producers (and writers) don't even feel the need to address your lack of presence in the city.

-- Clark.... *sigh* For about a millisecond there, I saw Superman. When you told Chloe that you couldn't kill Lex. I thought, "Hey, so what if he's wrapped around Lana's finger? At least he's still got SOME ethics. Clana hasn't completely killed Superman in him." They proved me wrong... it was like PS3 said, "No, Sana, you're totally wrong. If you think that then we will MAKE SURE you understand that Lana kills Superman... no one -- not even Superman -- is stronger than Lana & Clana!!!" They sure showed me.

-- Lana/Clana.... what is there to be said that hasn't already been said? Clana was gross, for me, and Lana was crazy-pants.

All in all, this is probably the first time I've considered not watching the show anymore. I love Lois, but I don't know if I'll even be able to take the show when she comes back, because I get a feeling that they will continue to treat her character like crap.

I'm very sad right now. I mean, I'm not even MAD. I'm just sad.

[stardust]

I can't find something good inside Requiem!

[Tatiana]

I can't find something good inside Requiem!

Im sorry for you, I did!

[braedon0]

Im sorry for you, I did!
same this eposode was great but sad

[MJDSuperman]

i have a conffesion i havent cryed over a tv show or movie since the first pokemon movie when i was 7

i wasnt like really crying bad but tears were streaming down my face through the last lana and clark part and kinda in the clark squeezing the ashes were lex suposably died

[beresford_st]

what is PS3?

[braedon0]

SMALLVILLE IS THE BEST SHOW EVER MADE

now im going to bed

[unfocused]

I'm hoping the reaction gets better as well. It was actually a very good episode, and had many great qualities concerning character. The Oliver and Chloe scene emphasized this really well and it adds a very scary feeling as to where these two are headed.

The final scene was indeed magic, and a beautiful send off to a classic relationship that will be remembered.

[cksmallvillelex]

This episode was heartbreaking.

*I can't believe that Clark and Lana will never be together.

*Lex is a douche! Just because he isn't happy doesn't mean that everybody else shouldn't be happy. I don't really think he is dead.

*And wow, Oliver turning to the dark side, what the hell is up with that. (Is it just me or is Oliver acting a who hell of a lot like LEX!)

*I loved what Chloe told told "Lex is not the man that you saved a few years ago on that bridge. He is a monster." That line is amazing.

*I cried for this episode.!!!

*Oh and I still DO NOT think that Tess Mercer is Evil!
1.) In true Smallville fashion, people aren't who they seem.
*But where was Tess at for this episode? Dubai, I'm thinking that something fishy is going on here.

*Was it really Oliver who killed Lex, or could it have been Tess. Or again is Lex really dead, and if so... I'm upset with Michael Rosenbaum!

[cksidekick]

despite being anti-clana myself and getting sick of all the drama between them two, that last scene was so moving and powerful. as much as we all hate lana, you cannot deny some sympathy or sadness you felt. i've grown to become really annoyed with her character but those last 5 minutes or so were absolutely beautiful. this is coming from a guy who doesn't choke up that often, but seeing that really got to me. it was so powerful to see the anguish in clark and the true love he had. just him struggling to climb up those stairs was really moving. the episode wasn't that great but that last scene really did it for me in a good way. I felt the acting was really superb on that scene to bring me to that point.
please, everyone, share how you felt about it...



i agree with you 100%

i may not be anti-Clana, but i am pro-Clois...

that said, TW and KK just gave me 110% of their souls in that scene...it's been a long time comming, and they did themselves proud as actors...two thumbs up from me! ;)

[Dresden]

Why is Lana Lang so special right now? LOL. Because I don't see it.

Do we all remember Alicia Baker? Yeah, Clark Kent was totally in love with her, lusted after her and even proposed and married her! Yeah, he was under the red-k influence but that doesn't change Clark, it just makes him less inhibited. So Clark Kent literally marries the woman! And they are so in love but things keep on getting in the way. At the end, no one believes in Alicia except for Clark Kent. What he feels for her is described by him as very unique. //She makes me feel special and normal at the same time.// He cried tears for her when their relationship wasn't working and then sobbed like I've never seen a man sob in my life when she was dead.

Alicia Baker and Clark Kent were separated not by choice but by death.

So did Lana Lang become his second choice then? Clark never thought of Lana while he was with Alicia. And who could blame him! Alicia may have been homicidal but the woman was not only beautiful but she made Clark feel like a god (and that had nothing to do with his powers!).

In the comics, Clark Kent proposes to Lori Lemaris. They are in love and older than Clark and Lana are right now. They are in college, mature, and with relationships under their belts. Yet Lori cannot marry Clark because one thing is standing in their way, and it isn't lack of love. It's the fact that Lori Lemaris is a mermaid. This is something that she has NO control over. So Lori and Clark end. Is Lois Lane then Clark Kent's second choice in the comics?

No!!!

If this were true, that would mean that every single person who has ever been in love and been left by that love (either because of cheating or some other circumstance other than the person choosing to leave) will never find another love again. And that is BS! It's rare for people to end up with their first love. It happens, but it's very, very rare. People think when they are in love in high school that what they are feeling is everything. Then they meet someone else, feel something greater and BAAAAMMM!! They realize that what they felt in the past was NOTHING compared to what they feel now.

People last years and years married to each other. Then fall out of love and find someone else. Is the second love not true love? Many people would disagree.

My point is I don't care if Clark had returned to Lana a million times in the past. That doesn't mean that he will never be able to love another woman. And it certainly doesn't mean that the love he feels will not be true.

In the end, a true love is one that lasts!!

Has Clana ever lasted? NO!!

[Alexander III]

This thread will open after the episode has aired.

ahhh...burger
anyways, it was ...bad, the last scene was the only thing that amused me.
And....mmM burger...BURGER!!!!!!!!!!

[davidbrenton]

Personally, I loved the first 10 episodes (And I do consider that an arc). This seems like it would have fit better as an end to season 7. It was good, but more of a distraction from the intitial season PS3 began.

[clarksgirl]

OOOOMMMMMMGGGGG!!!!!!! THIS WAS THE MOST HEART WRENCHING EPISODE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I mean seriously the ending with lana and clark was beyond amazing i was crying so hard!! i cant even believe that. im so disappointed this is Kirstens last ep, that cant be it. gosh clark and lana made a great team so happy and in love... and that ending was completly heart breaking but so well done... what a way for them to end. its like i felt there pain lol

[CKWannabe]

What was Lana in the comics...just a high school gf?

[ClarkyBoy14]

I'm hoping the reaction gets better as well. It was actually a very good episode, and had many great qualities concerning character. The Oliver and Chloe scene emphasized this really well and it adds a very scary feeling as to where these two are headed.

I agree. Their scene was kind of scary. I hope we get some pay-off for it down the road.

[beresford_st]

i can't believe lex wasn't played by rosenbaum! same character, different actor, is a classic sign of jumping the shark.

[clarksgirl]

ok so as i read other posts... the best words for this ep (or at least the last scean) was magical, beautiful, moving, and powerful. ok i guess i have went off enough for now

[Lilah]

Has Clana ever lasted? NO!!

Thank you. Just thank you. Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself... MY only issue with PS3 is if they stuff Clois down our throats now... I'd rather it happen NEXT season, and not in the next 3 episodes.... Because sure he'll move on. And he'll see all the things Lois is that Lana wasn't... But I just don't want it to be rushed because then it will be fake.... but your post made a lot of sense!:D

[ginevrakent]

The last scene was the most powerful, moving, well acted scene in SV history, imho.

The feelings that KK and TW were able to bring to the scene made me cry. Not ashamed to admit it.

I disagree. I don't think any scene will ever compare to the final moments of Vengeance.

[clarksgirl]

this episode has to be the one that made the most viewers cry.. so emotionaly powerful.

[SnowBird]

This was an amazing episode from beginning to end and I rated it 10...It began and ended with Clark and Lana's love...Clark placing Lana's necklace on her neck lovingly. Remember when Clark did the same thing for his mother?..Clark and Lana being able to work side by side to save Metropolis citizens from being killed...Ollie could not get over seeking his vengence for a Luthor killing his parents. The sins of the father was visited upon the son in death by Ollie's hand...Clark saying his goodbye to Lex when he takes Lex's ashes in his hand. Friends turned enemies and you could see it on Clark's face...Chloe once again put her friend, Clark first to save his life...The Toyman was outstanding in his performance as a disturbed and creepy bomber...Clark truly showing why he becomes Superman when he puts humans before his own happiness when he told Lana she needed to go ahead and absorb the green K. Lana's braveness to accept the decision to disarm the bomb. They knew the sacrifice that was being made to never again be physically together becoming heroes with broken hearts...The parting scene was the most beautiful and saddest I have ever seen. The look of pain on Clark's face when he struggled to get to Lana was one of the most touching performances I have seen Tom perform. The last kiss and Clark and Lana's parting still brings tears to my eyes. Anyone who has lost a loved one knows the pain of never seeing that person again. Kristin was so believable as she left with tears in her eyes. Clark looked so defeated and it broke my heart...Remember the sunset they watched from the loft as young teens? Remember how much they loved each other when they said they had never been with another person that day in the loft, and then gave themselves to each other in the Talon apartment when they were 18? There were many scenes where they were together both good and bad in the loft and it was a fitting place for them to part...However you feel about the characters of Smallville, you can't deny the great performances of Tom and Krisitin in the last scene they shared together. Bravo, bravo. bravo to Tom and Krisitin...I will always remember the many, many hours that Krisitin performed to give us a wonderful, loving, evil, brave. beautiful Lana. All the best Kristin in your future endeavors. It was a pleasure to have known you in Smallville:)

[Dresden]

I'm glad I'm making cloisers feel good right now because honestly I've never been happier!!! :)

I just can't get over the fact that Lana Lang is gone forever from Smallville!!!

I keep on hearing the "Bye, bye, bye!" song by N'sync in my head! LoL.

Yes, PS3 are dumb for this current arc but it was a doggy treat that they felt they had to give to their faithful pup that they were about to be put to rest. PS3 are in love with Lana and they had to give their little puppy one last twittle treat! So they sent off the woman in a quote heroic ending that most people found completely embarrasing and laughable. But it made them happy and *laughs* it made KK happy for some strange reason that I will never understand or be able to explain. So they did it. But it's over now. And that is something that you cannot say for Clois. You cannot say it's over. You can say you don't like it. You feel it was cheapend, etc. But over? Nope!

CLOIS IS NEVER OVER! :)

[batfinx]

I disagree. I don't think any scene will ever compare to the final moments of Vengeance.

Damn, that's right, there was an episode that choked me up. Clark holding Martha and crying after seeing the video of his dad. This episode, no, I admit it made me laugh. It was way over the top melodrama and far from Clana closure, it leaves the door open for some miraculous "cure" and them being together again. Are we to believe Clois after this? Yeah, right. They're about to be married and Lana shows up at their wedding and says she's cured. "LANA!!!" :lol:

[wattowatta]

The Return of Lana arc was made entirely of Fail. Speaking as a loyal viewer, I'm genuinely insulted.

[ForzaItalia]

I can not believe what I just saw. For everything I’ve seen Lana and Clark go through for 8 years, and everything I’ve ever read about Lana in comics, I can’t believe PS3 actually ended Lana’s story like this… They made up one stupid idea out of nowhere about Lana getting powers last week, and they’re using that idea to end her whole story?!?!?!!! You have got to be MOD EDIT kidding me.
Now we’re suppose to just know Lana Lang is somewhere out there with powers, we’ll never hear from her again, and accept that as closure to Lana's 8 year story on this show?

Actually, most of this season I thought PS3 were turning things around and improving Al & Miles‘ last few lame years. Hey, I thought Legion was the best episode in 5 years…. But this ending to Lana’s story is so lame, that as a loyal viewer I am truly offended, and now I don’t even want to see how this show ends Clark’s story... So I am done watching Smallville.

This is my final post.

Thanks to all the fans I ever had interesting conversations with on these boards.

Good bye.

[Theshadow129x]

lmao

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

Bye Bye the one football fan that I have just came across :(

[ClarksGal]

Wow. As much as I HATED the last episode, and expected that this one was going to be even worse, I have to say I didn't hate this one. I liked the Toyman as a villain a lot. I thought it made sense that Lex would get back at both Clark and Lana at the same time...it is understandable that he would feel betrayed by both of them, and that this would punish them more than killing them. I was surprised that Oliver would kill Lex, but I don't care...I'm not concerned about whether Oliver is the world's greatest hero. Quite frankly, I'll be glad to see him climb off his high horse now. I thought that Chloe's involvement was slightly out of character, but I still found it kind of interesting. Chloe is so predictable all the time, and I'm glad to see Clark lecturing Chloe (i.e. being the true moral compass) as opposed to the other way around. I liked that it was Clark who said Lana should absorb the Kryptonite. That meant that HE was the one to sacrifice Lana to save the people. It was his decision.

The only part that really made me mad was that Clark actually thought about killing Lex. What I thought was going to happen was that Clark was going to get to Lex in time to see that Ollie had gotten there first, and that Ollie was about to kill Lex and that ultimately Clark would have stopped him (after a moment of indecision, maybe). There could have been a whole cool conversation between Ollie and Clark where Oliver asks how he could save Lex even after what Lex had done, and Clark could say something cool about not taking a life, no matter what. That was what I thought was going to happen as Clark was racing off to Lex...and I was actually super excited about it!!! And then, Lana stops him (and I realized that Lana still had powers...I was really hoping that the Kryptonite was going to drain her powers dry, and that she was going to end up normal, and Clarkless). I was also hoping that at the end when Lana said she knew what she had to do, that she would say she was going to seek out all the Kryptonite and remove it from the world...that her purpose was to make the world a safer place for the man who would make the world a safer place. THAT would have been a cool role for her. Helping, but not hogging the spotlight. Sigh. If all that had happened, I would have given this a 10.

So, anyway, I didn't hate it. It could have been done better. And truthfully, I wish they had skipped the Power plot device altogether and just made these two people who realized that they wanted different things out of life. That would have been much more beautiful and tragic to me, than this goofy unrealistic method. But, as I said, I didn't hate it.

Or maybe I'm just pleasantly surprised because my expectations were so incredibly low.
