Why didn't Lana's parents?

[angelfire east]

Lex's mother tried to get Lex to stay dead to save him and millions fo others from him. Clark's dad told him about Lionel and comfured him.

But Lana's parents? They didn't tell her to stop? That's she killing herself and others will get hurt (Clark/Lex). Didn't tell her to move on? That this isn't the life they want for her?

Why?

[MBCorp]

They probably wanted to get away from Lana as fast as possible. The other dead parents wanted to be with their kids, but Lana's parents wanted to get the hell away from her.:p

[scoff]

Maybe they don't know her all that well. She was only three when they died. But then again, JK and LL seemed to know the future so I'm just as stumped as you are.

[angelfire east]

You would think if they kew Lana would live even though she was taking this drug they warn her about Lex and what he was going to become.

It seems Jonathan and Lillion have been watching over their children and I don't see why the Langs wouldn't. She was their baby, she may have been three when they died but love doesn't end with death. It's like when a baby dies the parents don't love it any less because they didn't know it for very long.

It seems like the writter dropped the ball here. Her parents telling her to move on could have pushed her at least a tiny tiny tiny bit towards doing so.

i thought they didn't say much because she wasn't down long enough. Clark and lex were down much longer before chloe and lana could bring them back. Since nothing really happened to them as a result of being down so long, i assumed the doctor guy was trying to cheat her by saying it was too dangerous to stay down too long, trying to keep her comming back

[JD_lover5943]

Yeah. She was brought back to life before they could talk at all.

:rotfl: They were probably trying to get their heavenly freak on, and this damn girl kept on bothering them!

[angelfire east]

Well they did have time to speak to her, I dunno I thought one of the first things you'd tell her is you love her and it's really dangerous what she's doing.

They can see the future and things that have happened you think they would tell her that right away knowing she doesn't have long with them.

That was exactly it.

They don't like her either. :D

[michaelcox]

Maybe they did the first time Lana went down. We saw the first time Lex & Clark "died". But with Lana, it was like what? The 5 or 6th time?

Smallville writers are having a problem with continuity? NO WAI

;)

I found it rather humorous as it seemed like her parents weren't watching over her and, moreover, didn't care about Lana.

Rather ironic, if one thinks about it. ;)

She never found them until the last time she tried it. She knew they were close, but didn't get to them.

I tought it was a weakness of this episode, which I still like. Pa kent And Lilian seemed to have importance for the developpement of their respective son, but the meeting if Lana with her parents just seemed empty... I felt some kind of a ... void in the script (I'm sorry, so sorry! That was lame:))

Ha ha
Smallville writers cant write Lana, and they cant even write Lana's parents!

Writer1: "What shall we have Lana's parents say to her?"

Writer2: "Uhh, I dunno, why dont we just get them to stand there and say nothing with stupid smiles on there faces?"

Writer1: "Yeah cool, good idea lets do that....."

[angelfire east]

:lol: hotkk and pal-el, I agree.

It was the perfect time to throw in some developpement with Lana and tptb messed the boat [again]

Hey becki, I read some interesting speculation on another site where someone said that Lana's death experience with her parents in comparison with Clark/Lex's experiences were meant to show just how static and trapped by feelings of lonliness Lana is. Like, she's always reaching out for the memory of her parents and for love but always ending up feeling alone, and while Clark and Lex's experiences deal with their great destinies, the fact that Lana's parents didn't say anything shows that Lana doesn't really have much of a destiny. I usually don't like repeating other people's speculation from other places but that was so interesting that I just had to mention it.

[Watching Smallville]

What was interesting to me was how little emotion Lana's parents showed her. Lillian really let Lex have it. And Jonathan was so loving toward Clark.

It was odd -- I think what you said is interesting. I'm never sure what the writers want us to think of Lana. Last night was just as confusing as ever.

LOL, maybe they were acting so weird because they had been hiding and the smiles were hiding their horrified thoughts; Damn, she found us...

[RedPhoenix23]

I get what your saying and that totally makes sense. I explained it to myself as Lana was only aloud to stay dead for only 2 minutes the time she was actually able to talk to her parents and she had to beg Lance for that long. Lana didn't get their whole message, Lance brought her back too soon.

Lex and Clark were both stabbed with the greenK chemical and left to die without the redK chemical to bring them back. Who knows how long Lex was technically dead before Chloe played mad scientist and injected him with the redK chemical, so he got a more complete message, but his mother was begging him to stay dead - so even she wasn't done.

Clark was probably under a long time too because he didn't have the redK chemical, and well, he talked to Jonathon and Jonathon gets down to business. LOL, it might have been interesting to see Clark get injected with the redK chemical...I wonder how long it would have stayed in his system?

Thats messed up! Funny, but messed up! :lol: ;)

[Jephael]

All joking aside, you really need to think more 4th dimensionally here. The Langs have been dead now about 18 years and they're probably on a different plane of existance now than the ones Mrs. Luthor and Pa Kent's more recently deceased souls inhabit.

Think about it this way, the longer a person is dead, the further their bodies decay which means the Earth basically loses touch with them in the process.

That is interesting.

They seemed so detached. They didn't try to hug her or anything; even when Lana was about to hug her mother, she made no movement towards hugging Lana back

[smallville_fetish]

Yeah I questioned why Lana's parents didn't say anything to Lana nor warn her. But I think it may be left out for a reason, that is either predicatble, or plot-spoiled. We all know what will become of Lex (murderer) and Clark (symbol of justice) so maybe Lana's won't be that interesting or maybe it's not written out yet and they're not dropping any hints. One hint was the ending, Clana conversation when Clark said, "I just want you to be happy" and she said something, "I will be...." (something like that) and then it ends.... a message here? Refering to her and Clark, her and Lex, or something else who knows.

[xrayvision]

I think they were sick and tired of Lana teasing them all the time. Lana to them is like Elvis (or whoever was hot at the time) was when they were in highschool in that they kept on being at the verge of meeting her so many times when an FOTW was about to kill her, and their dreams were disappointed so many times that they didn't care. Just like if they were promised to meet Elvis over & over again and never did, the same with Lana. Clark is the one (i.e. like a bouncer/bodyguard would be for Elvis) who kept disappointing them.

Lana Lang has left the...oh wait she never entered!!
