5.20 - Fade (Spoilers)

Pretty damn good sum up of where's Lana at imo from Sweet..


The year starts off great - no more secrets, no more lies. You are finally with the one person in the world that you always thought was meant for you. Then things change. He begins to pull away from you. He begins not to want to touch you. You are supportive and understanding. You are there for him. His father dies. You are by his side. He doesn't even want you to hold his hand. In spite of this you go to the pawnshops in the slums of Metropolis to find his father's watch. You let him know that you're there for him. You not only tell him that you love him but that you love him with all of your heart. What does he do when he say's that - nothing. Then you ask him - do you still love me? He says - I've always loved you. I always will. No matter what happens. What is that suppose to mean? Then at the Talon you hint that the two of you have an opportunity to be alone together and he blows you off. What is your response - you tell him that you'll wait for as long as it takes. You are telling him that you are committed. A day later - he looks you right in the eye and he tells you that he doesn't love you.

Now you've been working with someone else. You haven't always gotten along but he has never done anything to directly hurt you. At least nothing you know about. Your former boyfriend doesn't like him but he has never told you why? This other person knows how important it is to you to find out about the spaceship that nearly killed you. He even helps you find out about it. Whereas your former boyfriend wanted you to forget about it. This other person show appreciation for your feelings. He listens to you.

Maybe, just maybe you were wrong about the first guy all along. People make mistakes. You are unsure about your feelings. You need to ssort things out. Being affectionate with this person is one way of doing this.

Now having said all this and I've said this before - Lionel said it best - Lana Lang will never love you because the people closest to you know what in your heart. A child doesn't know that a flame can hurt them until they actually touch it. Lana is going to have to get close to Lex before she understands who he is. I'm afraid she going to have to learn the hard way. As is Clark, he going to have to learn the hard way that he should never have pushed Lana away. Jor-El told Clark when he resurrected him that the lessons we learn from pain are the lessons that stay with us. Right now this is true for both Lana and Clark and for us.

Thanks for sharing that, BaK. :up:

I've never hated Lana, though I often got annoyed at her character (or rather the people writing her character) over the seasons as she always seemed to be just a tad bit thick in respect to Clark. But this season has shown me more than any other that if I were in Lana's shoes, I don't think that I'd act any differently than she has.

What was it about Fragile that made you think Lana's playing Lex?

Mostly her conversation with Chloe. The things she says and what Chloe says to her.

With regards to that post from Sweet, its all well and good to say all of that in Lana's defense, but as Chloe keeps pointing out, Lana's a big girl and she's capable of making her own decisions.

That post just highlites to me Lana's biggest weakness, she relies too much on other people to make her life right.

Instead of her neverending quest for the truth from the people in her life she should try and be a little more pro-active and understand other people's motivations.

Sounds like I've done a 180 with regards to Lana, but after watching a couple of Season 5 episodes today, I think she needs to become a stronger person, otherwise she'll never be happy.
 
It always scares me when people talk about WB characters like real people. But point taken. Still the writers are gonna write her like that for leverage for whatever story they want to write.

:up: :up: Well put Avid...I feel the same way.
Lana has always relied on someone to make her happy. First Whitney,Clark,Adam,Jason,Clark,Lex...she really needs some alone time.:o
 
Hello, she's a teenager who grew up in a mostly suburban world. With that said, I mean she has been pratically living on her own and was working at the talon and going to school and doing stuff like travelling abroad herself at like 17. So I would say she's grown up quick in that time but hasnt made the emotional adjustment that someone of her background with no parent/gaurdian has or would and that's understandable. So naturally she's gonna look for comfort in her boyfriends. I think it makes perfect sense from that perspective.

I can understand and appreciate why she feels the way she feels, but you cant rely on other people to make you happy and she should have learnt that from what you've said.

I should add that my assessment of her is based on her falling for Lex so quickly and it being real effection. If she's playing him, like I hope, then she has learnt alot from her experiences this past season.

I'm a major Lana defender, you know that. I watched 3 episodes today, Fragile, Lockdown and Splinter. Alot of Lex, Lana and Clark relationship stuff.

After watching those episodes Lana should know better than to give Lex 100% without a doubt trust, because there was alot of reason to question his motives in those episodes. Particularly Splinter and Lockdown.

So what I'm saying is, if this relationship with Lex is legitimate, then I think she's once again gotten into a relationship with someone because she thinks that's what's going to bring her happiness and I have no doubt that she is going to come away from the relationship with huge issues, but I think she'll only have herself to blame for it.
 
I wonder if Clark will realize that Chloe lied to him :confused: I hope we are not coming back to the Clark that does not trusting anyone but his Mom
 
Again...LMAO@ people posting while watching.

No way you can focus on things

*glads he has the 'Ville TIVO'ed*
 
Yeah but the on going commentary explains a lot. I knew people didnt put things in perspective lol

...note to Clark. If you FOTW can turn invisible dont speak about your powers out loud....
 
When did I say I dont like the Show :confused: Why would I want to waste my time if I did not like it ?

Sorry, my bad. :O But you have said that you dont like alot of the episodes this season.
 
& that is my PERSONAL OPINION. Like I have said in the past just because I dont like certain Episodes does not mean I dont like the Show at all.
