Lana or Lois?

United States
December 29, 2006 10:05am CST
I have now watched all of the Smallville episodes from season 1 through season 5 and I have to tell you... I am sick of Lana. I have not seen any of the season 6 episodes, but I am so ready for Lana to be out and for Lois to be in. My wife is a little more reluctant to dismiss Lana. She feels like there has to be some sort of make-up before it is over. But I say she has danced on the darkside with Lex long enough... the writers have made me dislike her and Lex. And I think it is time to get on with the killing! Am I crazy or is there anyone else following this show who is over Lana and ready for Lois? Let me know your thoughts.

I've been sick of Lana since the first season, lol. and frankly, I don't like Lois much either. I think around season four, Chloe developed into one of the most intelligent, capable young women on television today, and Clark is a fool to let her go. We always knew that one day Clark and Lex would become bitter enemies. That's what made their friendship so bittersweet. I hate that the writers chose the easy out of making them part ways over a woman.

It was a little weak that they chose Lana to split Lex and Clark, but maybe a little genius. For those of us who love Lois, we needed a reason to loathe Lana. As far as Chloe, I have waffled a little on her being serious with Clark. She is an amazing character and the perfect friend, but she could never be his girl. She would always be second best. I personally would take Chloe over Lana, but it wouldn't be right for the story, since she has never been the object of his desire.

I felt like we always had reason to loathe Lana; she was initially one of the most astonishingly self-absorbed people around. Yes, poor Lana lost her parents when the meteor hit. We got that. And got it. and got it. She seemed to have no thought for what anyone else had gone through, or lost, because of the meteors. And even early on, like Chloe confessing that she'd slept with Jimmy over the summer while Lana said that she was still a virgin. To me it, seemed to be setting Lana up as being pure as the driven snow and Chloe as slightly flawed.

I have never watched an episode of this show. I do avidly read comic books though. I've heard about the show and I've always had an issue with Lois being around when Clark was young. He didn't meet her until he moved out of Smallville.

They have taken the story in a completely different direction. If you watch the show hoping for it to work seemlessly with the previous versions, you would be disappointed. It is definitely the TV version of his wonder years. I have accepted this telling of the tale, but I am still often disappointed.

Yeah, at times it has really disappointed me how much the writers of the show have decided to deviate from traditional Superman Lore. Although some deviation is acceptable and expected, some things just don't make sense, like this 'brother and sister' type relationship that Lois and Clark has going on. They have this sibling loathing thing happening that it almost makes you sick that they could ever be a couple. And as for Lana, yeah, I got tired of her a long time ago. She a little too quick to judge people in my opinion. It's ok for her to keep secrets but Clarks the most evil guy on the planet because she 'senses' that there is something he's not telling her... ...yeah, right.

After the first 3 seasons, all I could think of was... "when are theygoing to just let Clark and Lana be a happy couple?" Season 4 changed that and season 5 closed that door forever. Hope we haven't ruined anything for you here.

Clark Kent - Clark Kent
Yes...they really took Lana for a trip into the dark side with Lex...she's really learning to be devious, and to keep secrets and doing stuff behind peoples' backs...just like Lex...you don't know which one of them is worse! The relationship between Clark and Lois is funny. And I love Chloe! I think it is great that Clark has her to confide in!

Thanks for the feedback... I am starting to think I should have added Chloe as a part of the thread... but in my mind, Chloe can only be Clark's friend... and she is amazing!

You bring up an important point in the discussion... if you could seperate the attitude and personality from the characters (which we cannot)... which girl is just more attractive? I say Lois, but I have to admit my preference for her is probably tied in part to her character. Lana is a beautiful woman, but I'd go with Lois!

Im much more into Lois now. Im done with Lana...? hahaha! =) I have'nt seen the 6th season yet... but i think, Lana Lang will still be part of it. I've seen a picture of clark in the internet,(he's floating watching lana in her sleep..) maybe in that episode, clark will learn how to float/fly.

I have been more into Lois since the first time she appeared on the show. I haven't seen any of the episodes for season 6 yet... it'll probably be a while.

I've always been with Lana. It's not her fault if the writers change her character in every season but to tell you the truth that's what makes it more interesting. I'm with Lana all the way! I hope they don't kill her.

you bring up an interesting point... I have always been a fan of Kristin Kreuk... she is a gorgeous gal... but can you separate Lana the character from the writing? It may not be her fault, but she has become the antagonist, or at least, one of them.

i really dont know.. lois is the toughie who want sall the action done by herself, and lana is the "lady in distress" type.. both are pretty alright, but its really hard to compare both.
• United States

In real life, I would never "compare" two people or try to pick between two people for someone else. There are redeemable qualities about both Lois and Lana and both have their issues. The medium of television and the knowledge that this is a made up story causes me to desire a specific outcome. I don't know if I can explain that.

uhm.. i think i like lana I haven't seen Lois yet so i really dont know.. Lana's cute :)

For the record... I think most people would agree that Kristin Kreuk is a beautiful woman. But if you have seen the show, there are a lot of reasons to be over her.

Well I haven't watched every single episode, but I try and catch whenever I can because I am rather a fan of superman. Ever since I was young. I used to read all the superboy, supergirl and superman comics..lol.Anyway I think that it's rather dragging on a bit because Lana Lang was young Clark Kent's High School girlfriend ok, then on Smallville they have that part right, then they put Chloe into the picture. There was no such character in the comic. Not only that but they have Chloe working at the Daily Planet now. I'm wondering when they are going to bring Lois into the picture as far as falling in love with Superman. According to the comic strip, Lois is the actual one that is supposed to work at the Daily Planet then later Clark Kent when he get's older and thats how she gets to meet Superman one on one and falls in love with him. I don't know. But seeing they have put Chloe in the story, I reckon that Clark should go out with her rather tha Lana or Lois...lol. At least he doesn't have to lie to her about his abilities. But yeah I AM well over Lana, she should actually marry Lex.lol.

I read all of the comics when I was young also! And I watched the Christopher Reeves Superman movies, and I even watched a really old black and white superman tv show from in the 60's I think, and then another tv series came out and lasted for about 5 or 6 years called Lois and Clark and it was very cool! And now Smallville! I'm addicted! LOL

Yes, both of the actors who play the roles are extremely beautiful. The question is... are you ready for Lana to move on and Lois to move in... OR would you like to see Lana regain her feelings for Clark and put Lois on the back-burner?

I agree with you. I am soo sick of Lana. I thought that with Jason Teague around, Lana will be out of the picture. But there she is again, trying to, rekindle her past relationship with Clark. Oh, I like Lois better. She is funny and gorgeous. Enough with Lana LAng. Oh, well, It is obvious that clark still feels the same way with Lana.

same here. i started hating lana when she easily fell in love with different men after clark. clark's so loyal to her and hasnt really been with anyone else. and now she's with lex. hate her even more. i love lois! cant wait for the scenes when clark and lois finally realize that they belong to each other :)

You are SOOOOOOO right. I know in Superman Lois is it, but she is so flighty. Lana though has to go or something. I can't stand her with Lex, and her character seems to get more stupid, even after all she has been through. She ought to know how to read Clark by now. Anyway is she killed off sometime? I certainly don't remember a Lana in the Superman shows or movies. I'm old enough to have seen them back in the day, so now I'm a little confused about this Lana chick anyway.

Well I haven't really watched a lot of the newer episodes since I'm still stuck on the old episodes. So I don't get so much what is going on in the newer episodes. So I don't know what Lana had ended up doing with Lex. But I am sure I will find out sooner or later & then maybe I will understand what everyone is talking about. haha. I don't personally like who they had cast for Lois. I'm not quite sure why I just feel they could have picked someone better. I've seen one or more episodes with her in it & am not all to fond of her to be honest. I just think the casting could have been better. But my mind may change when I see some more of her playing that role. Who knows. I do find though personally that Tom & Kristin have a lot of chemistry on screen though. At least from what I have been able to watch so far.. As of right now I'd hope the two end up together. But my feelings may change as I start to watch the other seasons..

I TOTALLY agree with you. Altho Lana was said in various Superman story lines to have married Lex, I am tired of her for many reasons. Lois on the other hand is great. I think the actress plating her is awesome, and plays the part so well. I actually like Lex, but insomuch as I like the villinous character of Lex and Lionel. Season 6 has already shown my hubby and I signs of being an exciting action packed season. I cant wait!!
