Paging Lana Lang

[rivkat]

O Tiny Chucklehead: When a man tells you it's going to be different this time --

He's lying.

Also, calling the episode "Blank" with so much Lana in it was pitching right across the plate.

There really is no explanation for Clark and Lex's relationship but love gone rotten, is there? I mean, if Clark were deliberately keeping his enemies close/keeping Lex on tap for useful favors, he'd be nicer to Lex, and Lex's been a passive-aggressive bitch for a while now. (Which, I hasten to add, I respect.) Lex may not know what friends really act like, but Clark does. He can't really think they're friends or even pretending to be friends. I usually see the relationship as one of Lex longing, but this time I thought: neither of them can let go. All we need, especially after Chloe did her "come out of the closet" routine, is for someone to tell them, "You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends."

Hmm, an icon of that would be nice.

Not to defend Her Pinkness or anything, but when they were together, back in the misty depths of S2, she didn't have anything to lie about. Also, she doesn't have any reason to think that Countess Sparklepony has anything to do with Clark (see above, re Lying-Ass Alien), so I'm willing to let her slide for a while, whereas Clark has demonstrated that even when Lana's involvement in the myth has been written on her body he still won't tell her a damn thing, and he does know some relevant info. So, yes, there will be more thecreth and lieth despite Clark's promise -- but that's just even more reason she should run, run, run.

I don't know. I think a relationship based on "I can't take the secrets and lies!" would probably require disclosure of potential possession incidents and so forth. But, no, this will be another relationship where Lana's boyfriend lies to her, and words that are not the truth somehow come out of her mouth without any responsibility attaching.

Aww, I've missed that icon!
