5.20 - Fade (Spoilers)

[Super_Ludacris]

Hey as a Lana fan, I dont care who she's with as long as there some cred brought to the character y'know. And seeing as how I like Lex too, I'm all for it....

but lol@ all of you thinking Clark and Lana are over. It's Smallville people.

 

[rumpuso]

Apparently not, I ventured over there for the first time ever today when someone asked me to look at something and I was horrified to see the level of sheer stupidity that was running rampant there. It makes these forums look like a MENSA gathering. It's like an entire site of disgruntled Joss Whedon fans and teenage girls who wouldnt know Superman from a hole in the wall. No wonder that place has the rep it does in some circles.

Yes, that's it exactly. Trying to inject common sense into so much immaturity is pointless really, now that I think about it. I just left there trying after posting a few rebuttals to their nonsense. I tried to tell them that this episode was NOT all about Chloe. They see what they want to see I guess.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

I came away from this episode really shaken about Lana and her motivations. It felt as if Lana was not only mean spirited about the whole thing, but perhaps also out to actually harm Clark. She just felt like a different Lana, and I don't know this one at all. I do know, however, that Clark made a very good choice by letting her go. She seems unstable and would not be the correct person to share his secret with.

(And Serene, if you are reading this, what was your impression of Lana last night?)

Again lol@ people acting like she's a real person.

The fact that in this show as a young person who's been in confused and disorientated situations for 5 years, been abandoned and the one guy she loves is always holding out and lying, it gets to the point where she's gonna lash out. It happens, no big deal.

Who we talking about again?

 

[celldog]

How can she be blind? Because all of her friends, including Clark, dont tell her ANYTHING about what Lex has done. All Clark says is "you can't trust him" instead of going into detail about it and giving her a real reason to doubt Lex's intentions. And you have to remember she WAS skeptical of him at the beginning of the season. So it's not like she's been all-trusting all the time. It's just that certain circumstances as well as Lex's smooth talking have made her go the other way.

Great points!! Don't forget Clark's gutless lack of honesty with her about his secret, over the last 5 seasons.

 

[AgentPat]

The red jacket and blue jeans......is Clark Billy Batson now?? LOL He where's that everyday...

It amazes me how much that baad-ow-fit bothers people LOL. That's the character. That's what he wears. And those are his colors. He could be wearing something even more "silly" y'know? It would still be bright blue and red, and it would be the SAME in every episode... *ahem*

You're right. I think I get too emotionally involved in these fictional characters since this is the only show I've followed for 5 years straight. I just love the show, but I do realize that she isn't real. (Still didn't stop me from giving Lana the stink-eye for hurting Clark's feelings though )


KalKai, I loved the caps you posted. Thanks for that! Would you or someone else who knows how to do screen caps mind capturing that scene with Clark and the hooker on the roof. His face flickered through so many expressions before it landed on *shock* after it finally dawned on him that this woman was a woman of the night. It was a precious scene. Made me melt.

 

[KalKai]

but lol@ all of you thinking Clark and Lana are over. It's Smallville people.

lol @ you if you think they're gonna get back together, it's also the 5th/6th season. Al Miles want to move on with Clark & Lois in the 6th.

 

[AgentPat]

They're "over" as a couple. Take that one to the bank. She'll always be a part of his life, however, which is fine by me.

 

[BaK]

Liked it..

But it did bother me slightly that they are making Lana have a bit
too much of "that loving feeling" state of mind all over the place already..

wish I haven't been spoiled by seeing "that" kiss..
so I could react more like Clark did, like being hit in the stomack..
what a pleasurable show this is - when it makes you to want that..

 

[BaK]

They're "over" as a couple.

why do I think I've seen this before ?

naah.. must have been "seeing" things again.. like that fat lady.. brrr..

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Oh as a couple I've heard that the writers say there done of course. I've heard them say it before. Watch what happens midway through season 6 when they run out of material. They may not be back together in this form as a couple but the show aint over when it comes to Clana interaction.

 

[Serene]

(And Serene, if you are reading this, what was your impression of Lana last night?)

Not the same as pretty much everyone else's. But, that's to be expected. *sigh*

Do I like that she is hurting Clark? Not at all.. I HATE it. But I do understand her anger at him, even though it's misguided. That's the thing about misguided though.. she doesn't even KNOW she's misguided. I thought it was sort of ridiculously considerate of her to let Chloe talk her into making sure Clark heard about her and Lex from her before anyone else. Gotta say.. at this point, if you are her.. do you really give a **** how he finds out? I don't. He kicked her to the curb, end of story. She's a bigger woman than me.

Oh.. the putting away of the telescope made me tear up. I thought that was nicely done.

I do find it interesting how it's always cute and gutsy when Lois rags on Clark and it's seen as "not putting him on a pedestal," but if Lana dares to get angry at him even in the slightest, she's a raging beeyotch.

So, I guess I'm just very unsettled about things too.

Chloe's comments to Clark about.."maybe it's time you moved on too..." (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink) made me CRINGE at the Chlarkish overtones. I swear, if they have him fall in love with Chloe now.. before he gets to Lois.. I'll have to join the leagues of people who rag about this show incessently.

And Lois.. yeah, we get it, she's his future. But I thought that scene with Martha was just silly. "Gee, Martha.. Ya think *I'll* ever meet a nice guy from a good family? Anyone *know* any guys like that?? Hmmm??"
I mean.. come the **** on! LOL.. Another nudge, nudge moment.

If they're going to have him fall for anyone at this point, I'd rather see them leaning towards Lois, but I'm afraid it's going to be Chloe. It seems to make sense in retrospect with how this whole season has gone in regards to her character.

Lana can stay with Lex and get her heart stomped on again when she realizes that he's an evil bastard. The sad thing is.. he really is an evil bastard. Here, he has this chance his mother talked to him about - to be with Lana and make the Lexmas dream come true (only WITH the money! ), but he's still can't help blowing it. He's just can't help himself.

I'm actually glad to have Lex embracing the evil-ness, just as I'm glad to see Clark embracing the Super-ness. I'm annoyed that it's impossible for the writers to do anything but stomp on Lana.. but, whaddya gonna do?

I take solace in the little but important things.. like Clark in that dark jacket.
Goodgollymissmolly, will someone please give that man a worthy movie role!!!!

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Damn Serene just laid it out with more truth than Beanie Siegel himself!...........apart from that bit about Tom and his coat, I dunno what chu talkin bout there.

 

[musclesforsupes]

Decent episode, I liked the preview for next week when Clark mentions Zod the best

Btw Clark has gotta get over Lana, come on Lois is 200% HOTTER!

What are you guys expecting? If you think we're gonna get another episode like Mortal, dream on. (I LOVED that ep, btw.)

No doubt, Clark and Lana will mend their pasts and become good friends again, and there will likely be endless doe-eyed moments between the two, but their "romance" is oh-vah. It kind of *has* to be at this point, y'know?

A. Clark will have bigger fish to fry as he gravitates ( ) away from Smallville toward his destiny,
B. There's somebody else in Clark's future, and
C. Lana isn't the "one."


Anyhoo.... I liked the ep.

Did you think that scene was a foreshadowing of a Chloe/Clark romance in season 6? Because that's all that every thread is morphing into over on KSite. Even the mods are extolling the anvils of Chlark and then of Chloe becoming Lois Lane. It's really the most sickening place to visit with that mentality running rampant. For me, I can't even envision a romance between those two. Chloe is like Pete to Clark...nothing more than his best friend. He's never shown any signs of seeing her as more than that. I couldn't begin to imagine how they could pull that off plausibly. However I did see quite a lot of similarities between Lois' sad love life situation and Clark's. It felt like the writers were drawing more parallels and foreshadowing for those two characters than for Chloe and Clark.

 

[KalKai]

Chlarker's are just waiting for another kiss, there's always been 1 in every season, it has to happen in Oracle or never.

 

[Supershizzle]

I dont know how anyone would get that about Clark and Chloe. They basically just hit us with a sledge hammer over the head about Lois and Clark's future, or did their selective memories exclude the scene between Martha and Lois?

Chloe doesnt = Lois, Chloe = white, female Pete

I completely agree with you, on all those points.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried though. But I'm used to being disappointed with how they handle Clark and his love life.

The thing is.. the Chlark people are the ones who should REALLY be worried. Because, I thought they clearly implied Chloe getting her hopes up in that scene. But then we had the Lois anvil that was as big as an elephant. So... it could be that they are just setting Chloe up to get her heart stomped again too. It's not Clark's fault, like you said, he's NEVER had those sort of *real* feelings for Chloe. So, I really hope they don't go there. The whole Chlois theory is just SO cheap.. and honestly? I find it disrespectful to the eventual coupling of Lois and Clark.

Hence why I said there's still gonna be little Clana moments that are gonna have the haters screaming at the TV on some Gestapo Furher vibe saying "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
