Interesting...
*triplet strokes her chin thoughtfully*
I hope they do that... it would definitely up the conflict between Lana and Lex and complicate the relationship between Lana and Clark.
It could make for some excellent TV.
That's what I think. Everyone is "sick to death" of Lana not finding out. However, to just tell her and have her all sweet about it, the way Chloe was, doesnt make for any dynamics.
As wonderful as the relationship between Chloe and Clark was last season, I always felt like there was something missing. She accepted him from the get and go and thought he was Super. There was no, for want of better words "oh, Clark you're so special and wonderful" stuff going on between them. She mostly played the voice of reason for him.
Now if we had Lana learn the secret, but be at odds with Clark, whilst slowly over time see and appreciate everything he is and does, I think makes the whole situation more entertaining and it also gives you the Clark Kent is Superman aspect to the story.
Even though Clark is heroic in every episode we dont get to appreciate how heroic he is because no one is shown to be amazed by what he does.
Doing it this way also allows Lana, whilst she's in a relationship with Lex, to not be threatened by holding out on him, like in Reckoning. Then by the time Lexana is dissolving she'll understand and be able to carry the burden of the secret better. It also gives the Lana character alot more to deal with other than just her relationship woes.

You mentioned some hints that DeKnight left in his thread leading you to conclude this about Lana. Would you mind summarizing what you saw?
Well he said there was some great stuff coming up with Lana. Al & Miles had an approach to her character that was indeed going to be fascinating. He said she had his favourite moment in the Season Opener.
Honestly, it's nothing specific but it just makes you wonder why all of a sudden she's going to be fascinating and have wonderful moments, when up until now she's really just been the love of Clark Kent's life.
Avid, I really like your thought process for Lana's story arc this season. I truly hope they go this route. It would make for an interesting season for her character.
Thanks. I think if they take the story along this route, it would put Lana and Lex in a very interesting situation with Clark.
Al & Miles said Clark was going to have to try and keep his secret harder than ever.

One of the reasons I find it a little hard to believe was when Mr. DeKnight came over to here, he said that Lana wouldn't find out till near the end of the series, and unless plans change, that would mean that this is possibly the last season, and I don't want it to be.
Well he did say that a few months ago, and do you honestly think that he would give away a major plot point like that. And how do you interpret "towards the end of the series". Last episode, last season, last couple of seasons. That line could mean anything.
