Who is not sick and tired of Lana?

Im no Lana Lover, I liked her when she was liek the only girl on the show.

(guy's (and gals), I was watching the 2nd season last night (for old times sakes). I watched DUPLICITY and than RED, and noticed 2 things

1) The super speed effects have greatly improved

and this one for the guys

well, for those who own the 2nd season, watch RED and see if you noticed the same thing I noticed about Chloe, a good "Now and Then" difference

Thats all for now

that's good to hear..

any improvements on lana hehe

you mean the fact that Chole looks alot more attractive now than she did then (also I own all the series on DVD that are out anyway and I havent notice any better effects in the speed sequences)

I personally see a bit of a difference.

i think the main thing that I hate about Lana at the mo is that she has to know everything about Clark but she dosn't really want to tell Clark anything.

thats one of the problems in their relationship trust and lies..
these two will never work it out, in smallville, comics, nor in the superman universe..

Dosn't lana know who Clark is the Superman universe or is that just in the animated show?

In the comics She knows later on in her heart that that is clark.

I just find her to be getting dumber by the second. Either that or the show is really insulting everyone's intelligence. I mean how can you live with Lex Luthor and have body guards around 24/7 and not question the reason why. How can you know that he made a deal with an evil machine that got him possessed by one of the most evil aliens in the galaxy that tried to destroy the world and not know he's a bad guy. How can she stay with him after he experimented with the alien weapon Zod used. I know people make excuses for the ones they love but she's still in love with Clark...You can only make exuses for so long. I mean holy crap she tells Lex that she still loves Clark but wants to marry him anyways and He's ok with that???? Please... you just know his hate is brewing. And low and behold he is now experimenting on Lana. How the hell can she be so naive.

Then again no one tells her anything. Which is something they need to change if they want her character to develop. She has to be stop being sheltered like a baby. And stopped being fawned over by every guy in the show. The damsel in distress thing is getting way too old.

What about Chloe? Her and Clark are the perfect couple. Why hasn't the show explored that further?

Anyways, if Lana has watery eyes on the verge of tears in one more episode I'm going to lose it.

Whoah that was quite the rant... Geez who knew I felt so strongly about it.

I liked Lex more as a good guy in the first couple of seasons. Current Lex who went all evil in smallville kind of sucks...

Anyway, back to Lana. I don't have anything against the actor but I completely hate Lana. Shes getting repetative.

Why does Clark want her when theirs still Chloe and Lois around. Seriously....

Actually after last nights ep. it seems like its getting a whole lot closer to the way the comics were.

I Liked Lex being the Playboy type instead of the sinister type

Me to, because I didn't feel so guilty for thinking he's the most seductive member of the show. haha
After the past few episodes I feel a little guilty not like the lost bad boy charm he suckered me in with. Those damn writers went ahead and got me all attached to the characters.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Thats mad funny I like the way you said it KAL

Lmao that is hilarious

Death to Lana Lang!

I hear from fans of TV shows all the time who want me to jump on their save-a-show campaign. The nadir was probably a woman who wanted me to rally around "The Nanny." More recently, another woman keeps e-mailing (addressing her missive, "Dear Mike," which cracks me up), wanting me to take note of NBC's decision to move "Crossing Jordan" to Wednesday night.

While I applaud these fans for their passion, unless I share it, which often I don't, I'm not going to join in the pleas. However, I was impressed with a treatise on "Smallville" sent to me by Callie Bentham of Toronto, who wants to save the show from itself. Namely, she wants to see the character of Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) eliminated.

LORENZO AGIUS /The CW
Don't hate me because I'm ... poorly written.
Fans wanting some measure of creative control over their favorite show is not new -- since there's been an Internet, there have been organized armchair critics with an outlet to vent -- but I was struck by her argument. Though I long ago quit watching "Smallville" on a regular basis, even when I did, I disliked the Lana character.

Bentham, a 27-year-old clerk who works in the Canadian bureaucracy, also kindly provided links to other reviews that support her thesis, TelevisionWithoutPity and the Superman Home Page.

My only quibble with Bentham's argument is when she says Kreuk bears no responsibility for how awful the Lana character has become. While I agree the writers are mostly to blame, Kreuk is a pretty one-note, awful actress.

Without further ado, here's Bentham's treatise on Lana Lang:

Early spring! It's the time of year when networks and producers consider their upcoming seasons: Which plot-lines to extend, which to drop; which characters to showcase, which to purge. For the CW and Smallville producers Al Gough and Miles Millar, one choice should be glaringly obvious. After six long years, it is time to put Lana Lang out to pasture.

Lana is the most passive, whiny and inert leading lady on network television. Not only is she boring, she is the cause of boringness in others (and it's quite a feat to make the young Superman and Lex Luthor tedious.) Lana scenes are what the show serves up instead of plot. Her sole plot-line, spread across six years, consists of romantic triangles: deadly dull, chemistry free, sub-Dawson's Creek triangles, in which people stand around in barns and gawp at each other while the audience waits desperately for something to happen. Superman mythology gives the writers a wondrous sandbox in which to play. What a shame, then, that they have so often opted for generic teen-soap plots.

The highest rated episode of Smallville this year, "Justice", was entirely Lana-free. Without Lana clogging the arteries of the plot, fans finally got the exciting show they'd been craving. Conversely, Lana-centric episodes such as "Static" and "Trespass" (advertised with a head-shot of Lana) have led to considerable drops in the ratings. The CW have been vocal in their wish to attract male viewers, aged 18 -- 34. The way to accomplish this? Ditch Lana -- and the soap opera element she represents -- and let Smallville be the action show it always should have been.

It is certainly not actress Kristin Kreuk's fault that Lana is such an unsalvageable character -- the blame lies with the writers and producers. In fact, Kreuk has been one of the most vocal critics of the character, recently commenting: "What is portrayed through Smallville, which is both my responsibility and other people's, is a girl who needs saving and a girl who needs help."" (Globe and Mail, Feb 3, 2007)

People take pride in their achievements; they take "responsibility" for their mistakes. The characterization of Lana as a passive victim has been Smallville's greatest mistake. While Kreuk has many achievements in which she may rightfully take pride (her work in the film "Partition" for instance) it is long overdue for Smallville to say "goodbye" to Lana.
