How long did you guys really think the semi-likeable Lana would last?

[spideyfan]

Man I didnt have a good feeling about Lana last episode either. Man she was a utter bratty stuck up biatch to CK.

Man I dont like her.

Is this just me?

[Lexgirl33]

eh no but shes been like this for a while. They just need to change her attitude..like back in season 1 when she was actually likeable.

[KEakaCK]

I'm with ya...I can't stand Lana at all.
She was just flat out annoying towards the end of last season.
Now, she's just unbearable to watch. I always change channel to something else when she's on.
Lana just needs to go away.

[xrayvision]

I didn't like her in this episode. She was somewhat likable in Zod, but as soon as Clark showed up, so did her PMS. I had a feeling Zod was going to be somewhat like Void in that Lana was likable or at least deserving of pity, but that being shortlived.

[angelfire east]

Any likableness Lana had from Zod is gone now. It never lasts, they always make her stupid or annoying or something. I never trust it when they make her likable cause you just know it's not going to last.

[D.M.A.]

yea it was short lived,clark came in wit intentions on helpin lex and she knew this(Unlike overhearin him say he had to kill him),and she still wanted answers.Why is it she is so concern wit how clark knew about lex powers instead of how to find him,sumthin told me when clark walked in that he wasn't goin to leave without her askin him how he knew lol.And if she still has a prob wit clark wantin to kill lex/knowin he would be diff why call chloe.She should be mad at both,so that much I didn't quite understand.Other than her interaction wit clark she seemed likeable imo,I just think tptb r goin to playup the hate between clana all season so they'll stay apart.But we'll see

[Kara15]

Semi-likeable Lana is already gone. :lol: I liked her in Zod, but she was back to her old self in this one. Although I don't blame her reaction about the camera incident.

[MarkAllan22]

'Either the cameras go, or I go.'

Sigh, I just wanted Lex to say 'Then get out of my house, you whiny *****!', but no, he has to be Lana-whipped.:\

Yup, I agree. She annoyed me plenty tonight.

[paolinki25]

Yeah, but I don't think Lex was whipped at all. He did tell her she had to choice to look for another place, and she decided to stay, so, Lana...Stop playing prude. You probably like the attention.

[thehenry89]

her charachter countinues to annoy me. all she ever does is bi*** and moan about secrets and lies, she gets angry when things don't go her way and throws a fit whenever clark doesn't bend over backwards for her. she didnt even pretend she cared when he told her lex was kidnapped. at least not till she found the cameras and suddenly decided she need lex to be present when she bi***** at him.

[Charissa70]

After all that crap that ZOD did to her, you would think she would be hesitate about moving in with Lex, never knowing if some of ZOD still exists. I thought she said it would take time for her to trust Lex again. What, 15 minutes? Also, you are told that your 'boyfriend' friend, whatever has been abducted and you play 20 questions on something that has nothing to do with it. He could have been killed by the time she got to moving. And why does she always think that she is 'Superwoman'? and never thinks of telling anyone where she is going? She really should have been killed so many times by now by her plain stupidity

I know, Lana said in Zod it'd take some time after thigns with Zod, so what happens the next episode? She moves in with him. :rolleyes:

[Theshadow129x]

yea im sick of her in all ways around right now. like seriously i cheered for when the bad buy put the gun to her neck because i wanted her dead. i also expected her to be set of fire after she threw the chemicals on the floor:\ yea smart thinking on making the fire worse lana! but seriously i hate her i really do and there isnt a redeeming quality in the character because everything in smallville isnt connected to clark it seems its all conencted to lana its like lana is in the eye of the tornado. ugh im getting pissed just by speaking about her

[BadToad]

Well, they are definitely trying to do something different with the Lana character, I'll say that. But I'm not sure this is the way to go. Its interesting that she's keeping secrets from Lex about Clark's knowledge prior to Zod possession. And who really stays in a house with a man that has you on tape undressing? Without your permission?

So yeah, I dislike her. And I'm so dying for Clark to just give her an eye roll and a "talk to the hand" in any scene he has with her. I don't care what their history is, no one should have to take that crap, especially when they saved your life a bazillion times. Zip it woman.

[ginnyfan]

I still like Lana. She's so sad. When she was sitting alone and playing that piano my heart just went out to her.

My sister said something really interesting. She said that Lex answers all of Lana's questions and she hasn't a clue who he is. That's what she needs to understand. For all of Clark's mystery and secrets she know who he is. She can be sure of him. And for all Lex's candor... she really doen't know who he is.

So yeah, I still like Lana despite her harpy moments. I think half of it is that Clark was ill and didn't bother to look ashamed of himself or apologize which was WONDERFUL!!! :)

[smallvillerocks45]

Geeze, I sure hoped it would have lasted longer than one episode!

[DWBSR620]

I have to say that IMHO TPTB destroyed the Lana character, and that's not to say the KK isn't a good actor, but I think they are trying to make Lana more then she is. Unfortunately, in the process they've created a character that independent of the other characters has nothing to offer on her own. Therefore the only way they think they can make her character interesting is by relationship angst/romance with Lex and Clark. The problem is that the viewers have lost interest in this character because all she brings is turmoil it seems, and has no real place independent of Clark and Lex's relationship. Thus they instead of building a solid back-story of Lana as a character on her own with something other then relationship angst that she bring to the show they, TPTB are just spinning their wheels with her character when there's really nothing more to be said about her. Lana is no longer a character of interest, the relationship play has run its course and it's time to move on from that. But, TPTB can't quite come to grips with that and here we are with a character that waste story time and doesn't interest the viewers anymore, or so it seems. Well, at least that's how I feel, take care.


Peace To All.

I know! I mean, it's not like she's even there on a permanent basis. What does she expect him to do? Take away the cameras, and then put them back up when she leaves. It's ridiculous.

Oh, and also, did she honestly expect to accomplish something by going to the place that Lex could potentially be? I mean, imagine that Chloe had received the phone call and found something out about the location...then what? Was she going to call the cops? I guess that would have been the logical thing to do, but Lex said he didn't want the police involved. Sometimes, certain things about Lana just don't add up...

[Zungas]

Guess Clark won't get the right situation to tell Lana his secret.

[ginnyfan]

^^I didn't think he was Lana-whipped. I thought he was kind and mature. She acted like she expected him to hang his head, tail-between legs... and like she was making a stand. When actually that was just his security protocol. And lex let her know that while he was willing to bend in regards to her room... the other cameras stay because that's the way he lives. Period. So he kind of turned it around on her. Not whipped at all.

[smallvillerocks45]

Okay, maybe he's not completely whipped (Helen took that honor of "whipping" him to the max), but he is a little. I mean, sure he's going to keep most of his cameras, this time he stood his ground, but at other times it seems like he'll do or say anything just to keep her around.

[ginnyfan]

^Uh uh... I disagree. Lana's got another thing coming if she thinks she's gonna whip Lex. After Lex confessed about the blood... yes Helen had him whipped. I'll admit that.

[HotStudsSuccess]

Can you blame Clark for not telling Lana his secret now, she is a spoiled billionaires girlfriend.

[TalkinMac]

I much prefer her now except for her rude comments towards Clark.

[smallvillerocks45]

Yeah, I guess she's okay, but I hate her rude comments too. The moment she says a mean to Clark I just lose all concern for her. I mean, sometimes I think she just says things out of malic, because there is no need to be so mean.

[PKII]

Guess she was really passed out and didn't see Clark save her A** yet again. She not being very nice to Clark one bit. :confused:

[therealestthang]

lana irks me .....she'll forgive lex for not being himself but not clark when crazy things happen to him, clark never nailed her to the wall like she was jesus.........yet she forgives lex because he was not himself. even though she'll throw a fit if clark wasn't himself, do way less damage..........

[CountBoobu]

Likeable? I didn't find Lana that likeable in Zod. Sure she tried to do the noble thing by killing Zod but that was only after she let Clark feel her malice with the infamous "I can't see how I ever loved you," line. And yet, at the first sign of trouble (a poker through the hand perhaps?) she goes running for Clark.

Likeable? Hardly. If she did run into Clark at that time she'd probably use the opportunity to learn about his secret. :mad:

[jimmyolsenblues]

During episode 100 lana went from likeable to totally unlikeable she went way past semi-likeable with out ever slowing down.

Leaving your finance' for the drunken lex is the land the totally unlikeable.

[Scienceofsuperman]

yes the writers definitely give Lana too much power over Clark. throughout their relationship Clark has had to endure Whitney, Adam, Jason, and now Lex. Don't get me wrong Clark has had his girls but they never last more than three episodes...:). The writer should have pivoted this year and make Lana sweat. Let her live with Lex, but expand on CLark and Chloe's kiss. They should have had Lana see it. Then let her B**** about Clark and Chloe hanging out together....

[Lightning Flash]

Yeah, Lana has gone a path which she will not go back...

[xrayvision]

She's probably gonna be more b**chy because she probably blames Clark & his secrets for the hole in her hand. It's funny because as I remember in Fade, he told her that Lex is dangerous.

[Pantalaimon]

Yes, why does she have to be likable?

[MrZeppo]

I like Lana the way she is now.

Let's be honest here. If she was the same character in Season 1, a lot of people would have probably lost interest in the show by now. It's their drama that hooked a lot of people into the show. Whether you loved or hated it. Almost every TV show does that. This isn't that 80's Superboy TV show, he isn't that Clark and she isn't that Lana. This was intended as a more realistic approach to the life of a young Superman.

I like Lana now because she is a foil to Clark. After all the angst and anguish, especially on our parts to view their whole debacle, I think I'm satisfied with how they're playing her out.

I used to be an avid supporter of a nice and sweet Lana who supports Clark. But that's not who she is. And that's both of their faults. Clark can be a BDA and shut her out. And she can be really nosy. Which I found kind of funny. Clark once wrote Chloe off for being nosy and Lana is the same way, except she doesn't take action like Chloe does, she just choses to be verbally abusive and guilt him.

I'm glad their relationship tanked. That's realistic. Not every first love is a happily ever after sort of deal. I like that she calls Clark out on his BS. I like that she has no idea what he's sacrificed for her. I like that her holier than thou attitude and his actions are leading her to Lex. The two deserve each other, they're both master manipulators.

What I would love to see is Clark stand up for himself with her. Tell her that his life isn't her business and move on in his life. Sometimes the past needs to be put behind you, and Clark needs to put Lana behind him and live his life.

I think he'll keep that camera in there too, but will obviously make it look like it was taken out so that Lana can shut up about it.

In any case, how stupid was it of Lex to leave the remote for that security console laying around in plain view for anyone to play around with? He should have kept it locked up so that neither Lana nor anyone else in his mansion knew that they are being watched.

At least Clark was smart this time, he snooped in on Lana's phone conversation without her knowing about it.

[Spoon AZ]

I'm telling you, they just need to turn her into a villain. It's too late to redeem her character.

[TheSupaMan]

As soon as Clark walked in Lex's mansion and saw lana. I was gonna laugh my ass off if he went back out slamming the door.

[Uffr]

Sure she doesn't have the best attitude towards Clark but her point was pretty valid. She heard him say he had to kill Lex before Lex was possessed. I can't imagine anyone acting differently in that situation since clearly Clark new more than he was letting on.

[All about Clark]

Lana Lana Lana, what a mess she is. She doesn't seem happy at all. She acts like everyone's to blame. She is clearly not liked and I somehow doubt she likes herself.

I'm beginning to believe she is with Lex to hurt Clark and not for her own life. She still wants his secret and badly. Lex wants it too and it must be that goal they share that allows her to stay with Lex. I doubt they can redeem her.

I know she needed to ask Clark about the Zod possession, but she had to have known he wasn't going to tell her anything. All she got out of that transaction was that Clark didn't want Lex to know that he knew before the event. She was definitely a biatch.

sadly I agree,she is becomin the character to hate now and i am almost beginnin to like it.She's no lionel wit the love/hate but if she keeps it up she just might.I wanna see this corruption tptb say lex will have wit her this season,it could be great if they don't turn it into clana like they were at the end of sneeze.So the verdict is still out on them as of now,but she is becomin the character to hate now.

if she's goin to be wit lex for half the season like they stated then yes I agree,make her a villain as well.Not sayin I want lex to embrace his evilside because of her but at this point in the series anythin is good.But if they really r plannin on steppin lex dark side up this season then why not manipulate her into joinin him down that dark path.It jus may make their scenes together watchable

which may be true,clark did tell her he didn't luv her after she forgave him when he was hypnotized.So maybe in her mind she wants answers in order to have full closure,she makes a big deal out of knowin his secret but what would she do at this point if she knew.At first I was prayin he'd get it out the way and tell her but now I hope he doesn't they need to stay apart as much as possible.As long as she remains bitter there is no need for them to be around each other imo,but ur right her and lex both want answers to clark and that might be a big reason she's wit lex.To hurt him,but if she keeps up the tough act he may not be as upset as she thinks.I liked how clark acted in sneeze it shows he's tryin to move foward,whether he succeed who knows.But at this point if she is doin this to get answer its not workin

You know, I have to agree with you on most of this. I mean, the thing that killed me the most with Lana at the beginning of the series was how BORING she was. I rarely thought she was funny or amusing, or conflicted. I didn't hate her, but she has always been my least favorite character.

Now that she's with Lex, might as well turn her evil. Gradually, of course, but I think that, in the end, people will love to hate her. And, then, she's going to wake up to some bitter realities, and be haunted by her decisions. It'll be cool. :)

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Lana, lana, lana...

It always amazes me hwo some people like to test their boundries with others:

Lex: Suspects Clark may have super powers so investigates him, destroys their relationship and tries to push Clark to a point where Clark could whip him into the sun.

Lana: Suspects Clark of keeping secrets from her that have NOTHING to do with her, tells him basically that she hates him and pushes him to a point that he should whip her into the sun.


Basically I think Clark shoudl be whipping people that piss him off into the sun, I know I would.

Let's back the train up a bit and break some of this down. From what I can tell, she is happy right now with Lex, she just wasn't happy about the cameras invading her privacy, which is understandable.

As for Lana wanting to know Clark's secret, Lana is not going after Clark about the secret. She has been content on not talking to Clark about it or investigating it. It has been Clark who has come to her ever since he broke up with her that has brought the idea of his secrets back up. I'm not sold on the idea that Lana is with Lex to hurt Clark because if that were the case, you'd think that Lana would be putting herself into situations where she can really stick it to Clark about them being together. It's Clark who keeps barging into the mansion looking for Lex. All of the Clark/Lana interactions that have happened have been a result of Clark going into the mansion looking for Lex, but instead, engaging in a conversation with Lana. And there was the converstion they had in Oracle where Lana found Clark going through her things, which didn't make Clark look too good there either.

And about Lana asking about the Zod possession, she only asked about it because Clark came in and started talking about Lex being kidnapped. Lana of course knows that Clark isn't going to answer her questions, but if he doesn't, he continues to look like the fool in that scenario to Lana. Obviously we know what is really going on, but all Lana is doing is giving Clark more and more chances to tell her the truth. And she continously catches him in lies.

I said this on another thread, but IMO, Clark is digging himself a huge hole when it comes to Lana. He has confirmed to Lana that he knows more than he is telling Lana about Lex becoming possessed by Zod. Imagine if Lana were to tell Lex about her little conversation with Clark in Vessel? That would be extremely bad because then Lex would be another step closer in realizing that Clark is connected to what happened to him. And again, all of this has started up because Clark simply cannot make up a story. He continues to stand there and look foolish while not even denying anything that Lana accuses him of. Bad move by Clark.

[margroks]

She's never been likeable. THis is more of the same unlikeable, selfish nasty little girl we've always seen. She's just more obvious about it now for those who didn't get it or haven't read the comics to see what she's like there.

[lilkoolmaria]

Not too long. They should have sticked to how she was it Zod.
