Smallville seasons one through four the best.

WHY LANA LEFT THE SHOW.

Kristin Kreuk left Smallville after season 7 (with a brief return in season 8) because her original contract had ended, and she was ready to pursue other acting opportunities after spending her entire young adult life on the show. She also felt her character, Lana Lang, had completed her story arc and wanted her to achieve independence, rather than remaining in a, at times, repetitive love triangle with Clark.


LANA was getting ready for that new show she was slated to star in just shortly after smallville ended BEAUTY AND THE BEATS we talked about once before remember?:)


Key Factors for Her Departure:
  • Contractual End: Kreuk was under contract until the end of the seventh season and chose not to renew, allowing her to branch out into other film and television roles, say SlashFilm and IMDb.
  • Creative Directions: She was dissatisfied with the direction of her character, finding some plotlines, like those in a particular Season 6 episode, frustrating and inconsistent with the character she wanted to portray, notes this YouTube video.
  • Desire for Independence: Kreuk felt that Lana's story was complete and that the character should remain independent, rather than returning to the core romance with Clark in the final seasons.
  • Storyline Necessity: As the show began to focus on the traditional Superman mythos, it was necessary for the storyline to transition from Lana Lang to Lois Lane.
Kreuk returned for a five-episode arc in Season 8 to bring closure to the Lana and Clark relationship, as reported by Collider and Reddit users.

More Lois, and an annoying sister. Very weak plot.

Hey, I saw Lucy was greeted by the dog.

Jason demanding the stone from Lionel seems a bit fishy. Does he need it for his own powers?

Then Lex puts up the money and loses the ransom money and the girls. How original. Lol

Oh, Clark is flying now.

This is the worst episode of the series so far. I long for the days with Pete. Lol

That was cute when Lex tells Clark he sees him closer than any blood brother but we already sensed that. He has nobody else.

Lana stole the stone. She doesn’t trust Jason, does she? Either that or she needs the stone trio.

These conversations between Lex and Lois are so meaningless. They don’t even leave one feeling good about it. You know, Natalie Wood was a great actress; she would have brought a young, playful, adventurous, and feisty attitude this role deserved. “Love with the proper stranger” brought out all those qualities in her acting. It is one of my favorite movies.
thats funny you thought Lucy was ALSO annoying.:auiqs.jpg: Lucy isnt a b!tch like Lois so the dog likes HER.:auiqs.jpg:
yeah it was one of my least enjoyable ones as well but there was at least one this season i thought was worse than this one.

No Lana does not trust Jason i dont think.

yeah no doubt,Wood for SURE would have brought all those good qualitys out in a role like this one that is deserving of it.:thup:

the BRIGHT spot? THE NEXT ONE is MUCH better. one of the better ones of the season.:thup: One of the best ones of the season.

Thanks for the exit reasons. It is usually because they aren’t getting the money they think they deserve or they see their roles as repetitive. Lex looks awful with hair.

I saw some of those clips with thatcher. She was ok. I think the role deserved a really soft yet very strong woman. She needed to be vulnerable so Clark could protect her yet strong enough to support him.

Natalie took over every scene. Steve McQueen was amazing himself. I’m a fan of both.

i see why you said that episode Lucy that revolves around Lois's sister,was the worst episode you have seen this year.I agree with you just about. I said i thought there was one episode that i remember i disliked evrn worse than this one and i was right,it was the one we discussed where we guessed that Lois is a gay cause she allowed that lady to stroke her breast.:auiqs.jpg:where her daughter had to maintain her youthful look through that treatment

i KNEW there was one episode i disliked worse than this and that is ONLY because sense Lois has a sister int his episode,we see LESS of Lois sense her sister steals away a good portion of her screentime from her the less we see of Lois the better right?

otherwise i TOTALLY agree with you that its the worst,you rank it at the worst i rank it as SECOND worse,great minds think alike.:up:

Oh, two lexes. Oh yeah, lex’s acting is much better now.

That was funny. When Lex says “It’s good to be the king.”

When he is with Lana, he shows disdain for Jason as he fawns over her and tries to force her to come live with him.

Bad Lex is as evil as you said. He murdered the lab technician. He then tried to kill Clark and Chloe because they discovered his secret. And now Lex knows Clark’s secret and his weakness. On top of that he will threaten to kill Clark’s loved ones if he doesn’t join him.

All of this in one episode.

The good thing is that Lex doesn’t remember what happened but Lionel is back badder than ever. He acknowledges that Lex is a true Luther after witnessing the worst in him.



S4e18

Newspaper editors don’t get to be prom queens. Hehe
Everybody hated Chloe. When did that change?

Martha did a great job impersonating dawn. Lana did too!

The music is superb! The prom decor and theme are spot on. The fashion is upscale. Both Lois and Lana’s dresses were beautiful and not gaudy.

This is an entertaining episode. Chloe is close to pulling off a “Carrie” situation thanks to dawn. Clark using a green meteor rock was ingenious.

And finally a great ending. Clark gets to dance with Chloe.

today i am really busy so i dont have the time to discuss these so i will wait till tomorrow to do so but did i tell you or did i tell you that Lex WAS going to shine again?:biggrin: Hie best acting performance ever. Its long overdue that we got to Lex not being Lex with the two Lexs thing because he was the ONLY character in the show that up to this point,did not act different.

clark did in red,Lana did with the witches,john did when that flower sprayed him,martah did wehen that teenage girl jumped into different bodies,Lionel did when clark and lionel swaped bodies and chole and pete did when they had that dart from the caves shoot into their neck. Lex was the ONLY one that up till this pont,never got to NOT be himself so this was long overdue.

told you this would be one of your favorites in the top five.:thup:

one of the best episodes ever and what do you know,Lois wasnt in it,gee i wonder WHY the episode was so enjoyable. well it STILL would have been a fun one to watch seeing Lex show off his acing chops but HAD she been in it,it would have taken a lot of the enjoyment away as you well know and not quite as enjoyable an episode as it was.

Been meaning to ask,its been a while so has Lionel been being a good a good boy ever sense he swapped bodys with clark up to this point? i need to be refreashed.

oh and do you remember a few months ago before we started talking about seasons 3 and 4 that sense the last time i had spoke with you i had convertd a cuple of people into watching smallville to discuss it with them as i have with you?

well at the time i thought that was going to be true because a couple of davids friends told me that they would watch it but one after she watched the pilot episode,kept blowing me off and never got back to me so i finally gave up on her and the other said she would start watching it with her kid so but she never did either so i had to give up on her as well.

well guess what? THIS time I have a couple of people that i know for SURE i WILL convert to get them to watch it. One of them is a good friend of mine and he said he would and when he says he will do something he will do it,the other one is my barber so i shall just have to wait and see because as i said before,her workplace has client/worker relations ship rules so i cant email her and talk with her about it so i will have to wait till my next appointment to find out if she is just all talk and no action like daves friends are.

I have learned my less now,you want to convert people to get them to watch the show? dont ask daves friends to watch it,ask my OWN friends.

BTW,it is soooooooo funny how the reason BOTH Lois and chole are so annoying is because they are both gay.Chole being totally gay and Lois BI.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Actually, Lionel has been good except at the end when he said he was dissolving the charity.

You’re right, I hadn’t noticed Lex hadn’t changed but once. Good observation. Everybody got their turn…even the dog. Lol

Chloe and Lois, they are your sore spots. I know.

well my hunch was right,that he has been a good boy this whole time till now,but bad Lex got bad Lionel to come out. Now that his bad side has come out,you will notice he goes back and forth being bad Lionel and then good Lionel again.clarks goodness is still in him so so it keeps him from going completely permement bad Lionel again when his dark side emerges at times.

LEX saying-ITS GOOD TO BE THE KING. we get to see the Lex Luther that craves power. yeah i liked that line as well cause it reminds me of the movie THE PRODUCERS. when they say that in the song.LOL

yeah thank god Lex did not remember what he did or learned especially for clark. the thing i really enjoyed about this episode is the Bad Lex that we saw in this episode of course is the person Lex BECOMES in the future so you got a glimpse of how his actions he commits in FUTURE episodes,he becomes a murderer as you saw here in this episode.t

as i have said so many times before,its hard to believe that somebody who had so much goodness in him and did good deeds at the start became so evil later on but you know what,its no surprise really>that accurately shows they way people end up,you wonder how someone who was such a good kid at a young age became such a bad person as an adult,

Yeah got to like this one the fact it showed everybody hated chole. :up:

yeah that was fun watching Martha and Lana impersonate dawn.LOL made the episode enjoyable.:up:

he music is superb! The prom decor and theme are spot on. The fashion is upscale. Both Lois and Lana’s dresses were beautiful and not gaudy.

could not have said it any better. another major factor that made it enjoyable to watch.:thup:

Yeah i thought the same thing back then how chole came close to pulling off another carrie.:laugh:

i think you meant to say though that it was a great ending because we got to see clark dance with LANA though right? where did you come up with chole? we both know THAT would ruined the whole episode had she danced with HER at the end. :laugh:

i would never be able to watch this episode again had that happened,i would have done that at the tv set-:scared1::abgg2q.jpg:

did you notice jason looked pissed at clark for dancing with Lana. :abgg2q.jpg: :laugh: poor little jeoulous jason.:abgg2q.jpg::itsok:

Clark has amnesia and Chloe is his best friend now. I guess they had to replace Pete as super-power supporter.

He instantly knows that Lana is his love at the same time Lana is giving up on Jason for the lies.

Here we go, Lex will take advantage of Clark’s memory loss to get what he wants. Does he actually steal a real document or did Clark fake one up?

Clark helps

jar Kevin’s memory and after, Chloe, Lois, and the sheriff witness Clark’s powers. Kevin wipes their memory to repay Clark for his help.

Clark gets his memory back but still lets Lana know he wants to start over.
That looks promising.

Chloe lets Clark know he trusted her. He is smart enough to figure that one out since she has been dropping hints all along.

She is lucky to be alive and I say it was by the grace of God. She is even able to speak with all her senses. This is a super woman!

I saw all the videos. 5 times? That sounds like she was the intended target especially when they didn’t try to kill the driver. They got out of their car to shoot her some more. Wow. I think people like you being around spooked them away.

Her employer should be ashamed; this poor woman is a victim.

Ram, this woman will be forever grateful to you. That’s a pretty amazing story.

Well we totally agreed on this one. Amazing

Jason did look pissed. Will he be attacking Clark soon?

If Lex turns bad soon it better be due to an extreme trigger, not a matter of fact kind of thing. That would ruin the evolution of his evil path.

proof the media likes to embellish the truth,that is a lie that they got out of the car to shoot her some more,that did not happen,they fired at the car and as i said kept drving and shot bullets in the sky afterwards.the media is obviously trying to make it eve more dramatic than it was by adding in some lies.

I mean those things can be verified with police reports. There is no reason for them to lie like that. Just wow.
 
I mean those things can be verified with police reports. There is no reason for them to lie like that. Just wow.
i always wonder WHY the media lies like that when it is so easy to find out if it is the truth. Here is another example of how the media lied one time when so many KNEW they were lying.


there was this game between the chiefs and the then oakland raiders on a national monday night football telecast. At that time they were talking about the raiders moving to vegas so oakland fans on a corld dark dreery night PACKED the stadium even though it was a nasty cold night with a nasty downpour of rainfall they STILL packed the stadium you could tell,not one empty seat i could see,they were there with signs that said STAY IN OAKLAND.

yet the kansas city star went and blatantly lied about the whole event sating that the conditions were too harse for the fans so most stayed home and there was a bunch of empty seats everywhere.

WHY would they lie about an event like that when MILLIONS of people and kansas city were watching the game so they same as me ALL knew they were LYING?
 
well I just got back from the kansas city comic con,i got to talk with tom briefly.I was very dissapointed,the first time i saw him in st louis they allowed me to talk with him for a good portion of time,same with the time i first met john, THIS tme though,they rushed me through so i did not have enough time to talk with him about being a hero so that sucked. I did however have the chance to tell him that i met him once before and i said that the hul along with smallville was my favorite show ever cause i loved bill boxby and i asked him if he remembered me talking to him about bill bixby and sure enough he did.:thup:

i was correct in my thinking when i asked him had anybody ever talked with about bill bixby before and just as i knew he would say,he said no.nobody had done that.:up:

yeah chole has to become his new best friend now sense pete is gone.
yep. Lex shows his true colors as always that he not a real friend to clark by stealing that document from his loft and then LYING to him at the end saying he went to the loft with him to try and help him with his experience of having amnesia when he was REALLY after the secret clark knew about the caves trying to find that out from clark.

good for kevin he knows the truth that his dad was an asshole for lying to him making him believe HE killed his brother when it was his dad all the time.

Lana was smart to turn clark down when clark said he wanted to date her again and he said things will be different this time to where she makes it clear she doesnt want to go down that road again by saying THIS TIME? :thup: well done Lana. :thup:
