Lana Lang "Dead"?

[Superman86]

Lana has died, err so it seems. A delivery truck drove by before the explosion. Is she on it? Is she gone forever? Who knows till next season. In the mean time who is the driver of the truck? Maybe it is Pete?

[smallvilleobsessor17]

Lana definitely isn't really dead. I voted that Shelby drove the get away truck. He's been so absent lately, that he's probably been busy all season planning Lana's escape. :lol:

[MidgardDragon]

I'd say Oliver would be a good bet because that would be an awesome way to reintroduce him next season. They could even have her gone for a few episodes then show a flashback to that scene then where she's at/what she's doing now to reintroduce her. I just can't picture that scene any differently in my mind. It's cemented now, Oliver drove the truck, Bart supersped her into the back of it just in time. I really really hope it plays out like that.

I think there's two possibilities. The high-end one is that this was a JLA operation that came about because of the Martian Manhunter's request. The low-end one is that Lana orchestrated it. Personally I find the former more believable than the latter, because I don't know how Lana alone would pull that off, or who would help her.

[Runestone]

She's alive. That white truck drove by when Lionel saw her car blow up and she got away. It's like what happened at the end of S3 to Chloe. She'll be missing for the first couple of episodes at the beginning of S7 and she'll be back...

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that she told Lionel she was leaving. How would she have any way of knowing that he would be there to see her car blow up?

GREAT point. I thought Lionel and MM conceived that plan after Clark left. But you may be on to something. It very well could have been Bart behind the wheel. He could have snatched Lana and brought her to the truck while it was actually moving and got back behind the wheel and drove off.

Even though we KNOW Lana is not dead...the photographic evidence would suggest she would have to be aa pretty quick sprinter to get on the truck, since it was already passing her as she was entering the Jeep door.

But then, Chloe was entering the safe house when it went up in flames at the end of S3. In comic book territory, anything can happen. Maybe this'll be like Bobby in DALLAS, who dreamed an entire season of episodes so he could come back to life in the show.:lol:

[Acejournalist82]

I voted for Shelby. Just like Clark, Shelby has his own secrets.

[Superman86]

If Oliver Queen pulled this off I think he would have done it without the JLA. If he showed up with the JLA I think Lana would figure out that he is Green Arrow since she has already seen AC and Victor before. I mean she has grown a brain in the second last half of this season. She has faked her own death and has framed Lex for it(well maybe, wouldn't that be cool though?). I personelly think either Lana has her own possee or Martha somehow helped. We all know Lana has a strange relationship with Clark's mom behind Clark's back so who knows, we will have to watch next season :)

[skorsky12]

Since Kristin Kreuk is signed up for S7 and based on the fact that Lana's entrance into the jeep was not too obvious, I would have to conclude that she is still alive. Even if she died, the newly introduced Chloe power can bring her back. In terms of how, I agree with any of the JLA, MM style saves - or even a Lana operation to remove herself safely from Lex's grip. Remember, Lex looked very confused when confronted by Clark about Lana's death. I think she is alive or will be by S7.

[alienkinfolk]

I think Martha pulled some magic out of her senate hat to save lana.

[CKislife]

There is NO way Lana is dead. Lex was shocked when he heard. She obviously hopped on that truck, there is no way she didn't.

[Krypton935]

It was obviously Shelby. They've been planning it for weeks maybe months. Anyways didn't you see the fur flying behind the truck when it passed?

[smallvillecrazygurl04]

Like I said before in the other threads, I really don't think she's dead. I have a feeling that the whole explosion was set up either by Lana herself or by someone else... maybe Lionel. Who really knows at this point, but one thing is certain, that Truck was there for a reason and I think that it was something to do with Lana's escape. She probably waited until the time was right to make her getaway. So she probably will be poping up sometime in season 7. But it's too close to call, I guess we have to wait and see what happens.

[Billy Jor-El]

I don't think anyone believes she's dead. My first inclination was that she orchestrated it herself and had Oliver in on it to help crush Lex and 33.1. I mean, how is the cops showed up to arrest Lex? Who tipped them that he might be responsible? Not likely Lana herself, but Oliver fits perfectly. I would have voted for Shelby, but it's something about needing opposable thumbs....woof!

[Welling_is_pretty]

oh when I read this Lana's own people who learned how to fake a death from Chloe I shouted "yes!" and pumped my fist in the air.
I figure that Lana remembered Covenant and how it all worked out for Chloe and she just stole that idea from her friend.

[JJ Manhunter]

Oliver hates Lex and maybe Lana was supplying him with all of the 33.1 locations and information in addition to Lionel with or without his knowledge of it.

Also, as i stated in other threads, Mail delivery employees do not wear t-shirts and jeans (guy driving the white mail van as Lana "gets into the jeep")...

I think Clark AND Oliver/JLA could be in on it. Or, either one or the other.

She had to have wanted to lure him out there to see it happen, it wouldn't have done her much good to fake her death if no one was there to witness it happen. (and in Lionels case someone credible)

[Zaine07]

Who caes I am just so happy that she is dead.

its all a part of the thing. she wanted lionel to see the car blow up so he will think she is dead. that way he has no power over her. it is all a setup if lionel sees the car blow up then he thinks she is dead but you are all right lana will not die.

[ChaaBreh]

Here's what could have happened:

Lana reveals to Clark that Lionel threatened to kill him if he didn't marry Lex. Clark hugs her (then the scene ends).

What could have transpired after that:

Clark and Lana cook up a plan to have her fake her death and bait Lionel to be a witness so Lex will believe she's dead.

If there was a car bomb, she wouldn't have been able to drive her car to the "Smallville Ledger" alley, right? I believe that she went to the Ledger and told a reporter there all about Lex and how he threatened her life....right after that she calls Lionel....we only heard the part about "I'm through with you Luthors" but before that she could have said: "I just told the Smallville Ledger everything about Lex and what he's been up to. I'm through with... etc etc".....that's why Lionel rushes over to the alleyway by the Smallville Ledger...to try to talk her out leaving....she runs to the car without waiting to talk to Lionel...just as she approaches the SUV the mail truck starts to move and there is a fire flash where the mail truck is, seconds before the SUV explodes. Clark had on a blue t-shirt and he could have ignited the bomb with his heat vision....traveling on a fuse to the SUV....he super-speeds to get her out of the SUV before Lionel or anyone else can see, continues on his way while Lionel watches the whole thing....

Meanwhile, Lana's on a bus or a train to safety (can't be a plane, because they check ID) ...Clark continues the charade by confronting Lionel and then Lex....if he didn't know she was really alive, he'd go crazier than he reacted when Lionel told him she was dead....

We'll see how close I am when the premiere occurs in September....

[boywithbluehanger]

Is there a clue behind the milk truck like Martian Manhunter's cookie trail?

Milk ....Cookies... ???

MM may be the milk truck driver. He's the only one that could have saved her in such a short time other than Clark.

[Superman86]

I watched Phantom again and the driver of the truck looks like he is wearing a very familar blue t-shirt. :p If anyone could get a picture of the driver, any at all I would definately like to see a still frame please. If not thats ok.
