what happened to Lana??

[Excel]

i folowed hardore the first season but then got out of it. but i watched the finale to last season, and some new epsidoes and it seems lana is non existent. what happened to her and what happened ot her and clark?

[tab_lee_engle]

She had sex with guy who wasn't clean, and in turn recieved herpies that not even Clark can withstand.

[Kane]

Yup thats Lana's storyline next season.

[LostSon88]

i folowed hardore the first season but then got out of it. but i watched the finale to last season, and some new epsidoes and it seems lana is non existent. what happened to her and what happened ot her and clark?

Where have you been bro? (No sarcasm, i'm serious)

Anyway, heres a breakdown:

-Hooked up with Clark
-Broke up with Clark
-Loves Clark
-Hates Clark
-Had sex with Clark
-Gets made cuz' he wont put out
-Became Lex's wife in a dream
-Died in the dream
-Became Clarks fiancee
-Died (again)
-Didn't die (again)
-Broke up with Clark
-Dumped by Clark
-Becomes addicted to SV equivalent of crack
-Hooks up with Lex

Oh and did I mention she was also a witch AND a vampire?

[Kane]

You forgot the Adam Knight nonsense, the biological father, Jason, Whitney etc

They need a Crisis on Infinite Lana to sort her out.

[GothicPowerMix1]

Whitney was a jack ass at first. But I thought he turned out all right in the end & you cant blame Lana for Whitney because that started long before Clark came into the Picture.

[Kane]

He should have been the real Pete Ross dammit.

[LostSon88]

Continuing on...

-Haunted by ghost of childhood friend
-Discovers her mother was a ***** (:p )
-Hooks up with some Bruce Wayne wannbe with a drug problem
-Hooks up with the high school football coach
-Kills a woman

Seriously, they should lock Lana up in Belle Reve...her life sucks.

[KalKai]

Isabelle killed Genevive, it was self-defence anyway lol.

[Super_Ludacris]

<----------------

When she's this hot whose counting?

[Kane]

Why does how she looks even matter?

[Pickle-El]

I'd love to see a list of all of Clark's 'fights' by Lastson88....FOTW's included. That would BE somthin!

[Super_Ludacris]

Why does how she looks even matter?

Because its a teen show and eye candy is everything. Even Lois gets props. I'm mean lol who looks at this show like a show about Superman? Not you I hope *whistles in the air* :)

[Kane]

Regardless of what kinda show it is, Im usually not that superficial. Its all about characterization.

[Super_Ludacris]

Oh who cares it's a WB show, let it go lol and enjoy the eye candy

[Brainiac 8]

Oh who cares it's a WB show, let it go lol and enjoy the eye candy

Characterization is important. But to WB skin is more so. I guess you have to take that with the good.

I think constantly showing some sort of skin is actually in all of their contracts with the WB.:O :D

[Super_Ludacris]

Obviously but the characterization is fine even still. We understand what Lana goes through, I think have the time it's the weak plot holes she's put in that's the problem but I dont think she's whines, given all she's been through I think she's been disturbingly reserved. The rest is just fanboys not getting it

Agreed. I think her acting is fine, and even with a bad plot, her acting ability still comes through.:up: :)

The Lana bashing is silly. But needlessly bashing any character for no appearent reason is silly.:o

[Kane]

Oh theres reasons. Void sums it all up very nicely.

[Kane]

Oh who cares it's a WB show, let it go lol and enjoy the eye candy

Whatever man. I never understood the appeal of 'eye candy' it does nothing for me.

[Super_Ludacris]

What did I just say? Let it go it's a teen show.

[Kane]

The irony of that is the majority of posters on this smallville forum are in their 30s and 40s...

I havent once seen a teen female poster our age on here, maybe theyre all on other boards.

But the point is, they should avoid the whole 'targeting the show at teens' thing, the fanbase appears way more diverse than that.

and why their still watching it then is beyond me. But why shouldn't it target teens? Besides teen shows appeal to out of there fanbase (Dawson's Creek back in the day and the OC today are generally mainstream staples of American and modern culture.Ditto with Roswell and Dark Angel. Look at the teen exploison in the mid-90's with shows like felicity and movies like the Scream trilogy, Cruel Intentions, Faculty, She's all that etc etc All popular in the teen market but mainstream enough to catch general cultural attention)

Add to this their on a network that caters to a young audience (WB) and the fact is they set it out as being this time of show since the start. That's the agenda so the point is moot

[Kane]

I guess. Perhaps my preference is simply something based off the Superman mythos that is more geared towards all ages (like the Donner films were).

I guess one way to look at it is Smallville is the teen soap interpretation of the mythos in the same way Superfriends was the kid-oriented interpretation of Superman.

Lois and Clark was pretty much the sitcom version of Superman -_-

[triplet]

There are a lot of people that love the show that are out of Smallville's "target" demo, if you're thinking that they're targeting teen females...

Who they're really targeting are men that are 18-32. And they're doing a good job of it since it's the one demo they have come first in when against powerful ratings powerhouses like Survivor....

To bash the show saying that it is just "teen" show is disengenuous since it clearly isn't just that....

btw: the show is pretty popular across all demos, not just young men and teens.

My mother in law loves the show and she's in her 80s.

[Kane]

Lucadris refered to the show as a teen show. Not I. Though he wasnt trying to bash it for being one.

I guess this board isnt an accurate reflection of the majority of types of viewers.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well I aint bashing it by calling it a teen show, because its a good show but if you had to place it given the network its on and cast and demographic the phrase "teen show" is given. But I guess one could be PC and say its for the younger audience

[Kane]

no man. You were right the first time. It is a teen show. I guess sometimes we all expect too much from it. The aspects of the superman mythos (especially Brainiac) are the only things that keep me interested and watching.

And of course, KK keeps you watching.

[triplet]

I don't remember why I have Kane on ignore, but I think I'm glad...


Anyhooo:

No, it's not that... it's a genre that is inherantly viewed as having less value. You are basically dissing the show when you lump it into the "teen" show catagory.

Yeah, teens watch it and it's on the WB, so maybe it's not a totally inaccurate assessment, but there is so much more to this show than most "teen" shows...

It's more worthy an enterprise than most of the normal drivel that gets labeled as a teen show as well...

[Kane]

Yet it will still fit the mode of a teen show overall.

I don't remember why I have Kane on ignore, but I think I'm glad...


why? Ive been good.

[avidreader]

If it was just a teen show, then I wouldnt be watching it I can assure you of that. I have enough teen angst (with three teenage sons and all) happening in my real life.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well I'm not dissing it by calling it a teen show because I look those type of shows to a certain extent and keep in mind a lot of them were good (Smallville's closest comparison Roswell for instance did not suck, nor did My so called life or Party of Five). If one had to be accurate I could repeat what I said before and say its multi genred (teen, sci-fi, drama, comic book). When the show started I think it was hard to not call it a teen type show and although they've grown it still has storylines of that sorts that dont neccessairly drag down the show like some may think. Sometimes the simplicity of this part of the shows aspect is appealable to an audience just as much as the rest.

[Kane]

I have enough teen angst (with three teenage sons and all) happening in my real life.

Thats insane.

Thats like Home Improvement.

[triplet]

Yeah, me too. That's what I'm trying to say. There is so much more to this show than teen angst, and there isn't really much of that at all anymore anyway...

Luda, I think we're talking around each other so I'm going to quit....

[I_am_budders]

You forgot the Adam Knight nonsense, the biological father, Jason, Whitney etc

They need a Crisis on Infinite Lana to sort her out.

LMAO!

Plus isn't the mid-to-late twenties age demographic that most of the ratings are coming from?:confused:

Am I wrong? Where are you gals that follow the ratings?

[Serene]

All of us here are obviously invested in this show in part (some larger than others) because of the Superman angle. BUT, I think it's an incomplete perspective to assume that covers all the regular fans. Just about every adolescent I know that watches the show, and I really do know quite a few, know next to nothing about Superman, let alone any details of the mythos. The reason they watch the show is because of the "Dawson's Creek, soap opera, relationship stuff," whatever label you want to use.

Just sayin'... it's a big wide world of viewers out there beyond the fringes of Superman forums. :)

Yes, exactly my point. The demographics of the ppl in this forum dont reflect the type of total viewers at all.

[LostSon88]

I'd love to see a list of all of Clark's 'fights' by Lastson88....FOTW's included. That would BE somthin!

That would be something...but that's far too much work...its probably in the like 100-150 range seeing as how he gets into multiple fights per epi.

Lana was easy, cuz her life is just so damn "out there"...she went from the "girl next door" in seasons 1 & 2 to "angry b****" in season 3 to "possessed witch" in season 4 to finally, a "vampire" in season 5.

For all we know at this rate, she could turn out to be Jor-El by season 6! ;)

[Super_Ludacris]

That's kinda hot in an odd way...

[avidreader]

Excellent points. There are so many aspects/genres covered in Smallville and I just happen to like all of them.

Superman/SciFi/Fantasy/History/Romance/SpecialEffects.

I think the fact that the actors arent teenagers and that their relationship issues are beyond normal teenage issues helps older folks relate to as well.

All of my oldest son's friends love Smallville. They came over to our house to watch the 100th episode. I love getting with the girls in the group 'cause they like to drool over Tom Welling as much as I do. :D

:eek: I've been saying for ages the show is mulit-genred:mad:

"Will someone throw me a friggin bone here"

[Red X]

How many people do you have to kill to be considered a serial killer. Because so far Lana's on 2.

[Kane]

I remember once she killed one of Edge's men at the Kent farm pretty brutally. He wasnt even about to shoot anyone, he was just guarding them and she pushed him into this metal pike that stabbed right through his chest. No remorse...

And in the next episode, she was lecturing Clark about his violent habits..

You're effing kidding me, right?
I just had this same twilight zone-ish conversation with someone at the Planet.

Yeah.. Lana's an evil and violent serial killer. She lined that guy right up in front of the pitchfork (that she'd probably previously hidden there too) and she maliciously kicked him into it without any justification whatsover.

:rolleyes:

Actually that was self defense, dude the man attacked her.:o

Don't count that in her death tally.

In fact, in Void it was self defense too. Even if the death was a little contrived. That is what irritated me.

If your counting stuff like that, then the Chloe is guilty of murdering both the kid from Hidden, and Simone. Once again...all self defense.

Thank you Serene...for mirroring my thoughts on the matter.:) :up:

[Super_Ludacris]

Hey Lana Lang is ill with the killing techniques. You dont **** with Lana-Fu, Chloe's cow ass learned that in Season 3

[Serene]

Excellent points. There are so many aspects/genres covered in Smallville and I just happen to like all of them.

Superman/SciFi/Fantasy/History/Romance/SpecialEffects.

Bingo. :up:

I love the balance of SciFi/Fantasy to Romance/Drama that SV offers. Not a perfect show by any means, but damn, it still hits all my buttons.

And the lead actor is pretty damn easy on the eyes too. ;)

He wasnt hurting them at the time and wasnt about to shoot them, the Lana-fu there just seemed out of the blue for me.

I wanted her to show some remorse over doing it, she took a life. Obviously she didnt intend to, (and I never called her a murderer) but she took one for the first time and I wanted to see her deal with that.

[Super_Ludacris]

Lana-Fu>>> Kal-El

and yes people with enough preptime Lana-Fu can beat Superman like Batman :)

[Kane]

Actually that was self defense, dude the man attacked her.:o


He attacked her? I guess I need to watch it over. I just remember him holding out a gun and guarding them, and Lana instigating the fight to try and escape.

[Serene]

Lana-Fu>>> Kal-El

and yes people with enough preptime Lana-Fu can beat Superman like Batman :)

Dude.. even *I'm* starting to think you're delusional.

But you are funny. ;)

Which still doesnt explain why she needs Clark to save her practically every week. :confused:

[Super_Ludacris]

Art of War technique. Lower him into a false sense of comfort and security and then BAM!:eek:

[Kane]

Gosh...no wonder shes so compatible with Lex, though now Im thinking shes a better match with Lionel.

[Super_Ludacris]

Hey, Hey Lana-Fu dont get with old dudes man.

[Kane]

Lana gets with everybody.

[Super_Ludacris]

Cause Lana-Fu be plotting to murder or **** em up for their evil ways (Jason, Adam)

[Kane]

I wonder what Lana in the SV verse will end up doing in the future. Traditionally Lana Lang was a TV reporter (but I think Chloe may end up taking that job).

She could end up as the first lady if she marries Lex. In the comics she was the first Lady when Pete Ross became president after Lex got empreached.

For some reason, I dont see her marrying Pete Ross in the SV verse..

[Super_Ludacris]

I think she's gonna end up marrying Lex or something

[Kane]

She does seem to have more chemistry with him compared to TW. That last loft scene in Hypnotic was pretty weak.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well Micheal Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk are my two favourites on the show so regardless of how bad the plot is for Lex and Lana it would be great seeing those two share more screen time. Plus you know the outtakes and bloopers are gonna be priceless

[Kane]

KK seems on the more quiet, reserved side while Rosenbaum.....is the total opposite. Should be interesting.

[Super_Ludacris]

K got jokes on the side I've seen her in interviews. But she's less animated than Mike. But who knows, half the fun is knowing that maybe by working with a guy like Mike she'll that chemistry rubs off and if you got to actors getting along it rings across in the characters.

[Kane]

You seem really obsessed with her.

[Super_Ludacris]

Its all about Lana Fu y'all. Besides its been a sad day anyway what else can I talk about that will keep me happy :(

[The Sage]

Lana-Fu>>> Kal-El

and yes people with enough preptime Lana-Fu can beat Superman like Batman :)

That chick has you hooked.:o

[Super_Ludacris]

Aint no JAL **** here though

But let's keep it real with enough prep time Superman is pretty easy to beat :)


with enough prep time....

[Kane]

Besides its been a sad day anyway what else can I talk about that will keep me happy :(

What happened?

[The Sage]

Aint no JAL **** here though

But let's keep it real with enough prep time Superman is pretty easy to beat :)


with enough prep time....

With enough prep time Superman could annihilate anyone. Actually he could do that even without prep time.

http://passfailstudios.com/comics/2.jpg

[Super_Ludacris]

Too bad it aint happened like that. I swear people be riding Superman's jock.

[The Sage]

Too bad it aint happened like that. I swear people be riding Superman's jock.

Not as many people who ride Batman's, Mr. Prep Time.:)

[Super_Ludacris]

Batman's that dude though. Superman is just ehhhhh blandest superhero ever at times. So hell yeah we support the underdog....the badass underdog

[Kane]

Oh ya, Batman owns Supes easily.

[GoldGoblin]

Does it seem like every season the Lana character is getting more boring?

[Super_Ludacris]

Depends on your perspective. What I do know is people cant expect to her to be like how she was in the first 2 seasons cause that prolonged over a long time would have been worse. She is heavily involved in the main story and if they take away the novelty episodes (Spell, Thirst ) there's really nothing to be mad at. She still contributes to the show which cant be said for some characters.

[Darthphere]

How exactly does she contribute again?:confused:

[Super_Ludacris]

How exactly does she contribute again?:confused:


She's involved in the main storyline of the show. It one's one thing to say we dont like the way she's written but she has a purpose on the show as part of being the main 3 characters

[Darthphere]

She's involved in the main storyline of the show. It one's one thing to say we dont like the way she's written but she has a purpose on the show as part of being the main 3 characters


If you say so, she seems like Clark's punching bag as of late, if thats being involved in the main storyline, then ok.

[Super_Ludacris]

If you say so, she seems like Clark's punching bag as of late, if thats being involved in the main storyline, then ok.


Again She's Lana, potrayed as his main love on the show, the girl going aroud trying to find what's up with his secret and in the centre of Lex and Clark (as it now seems). As I said its one thing to say you dont like that (which is what your saying and I understand) but it's another t say she doesnt contribute when she's been one of the central characters for 5 seasons on the show.Does that make sense?

[FreeRadical]

I agree, and Clana isn't going anywhere. Some major event occurs in SV in one episode, the next it's forgotten.

Smells like Sunset Beach to me :( .

[Super_Ludacris]

Like I said it's a balance, cause it is part teen so they gotta cater to different audiences

[Lunar_Wolf]

I think it's on Smallville season 2 ep 4 with commentry, KK never says anything. Mike goes on and on trying to include her into the convo and shes so quiet.

[Super_Ludacris]

Babygirl's real humble man. Although in other interviews she's seems more open and chatty. I kinda like that down-to-earth swagger she has
