Currently binge watching all seasons again, haven't seen in years, and I can't believe Lana is even worse than I remembered, I can't believe Clark yet again got back with her and I can't believe there is a review on here actually taking her side in turning the blame on Clark this episode. This and the last episode showcase why Lana is so hated, she is horribly wrote, even the villians on the show are more likable than her, I really feel like the writers wanted us to hate her, having to sit through her and Clark's insufferable relationship for 7 seasons is painful, Clark can do and does do much better than her. She is meant to be so in love with Clark but can't tell him apart from someone wearing his face with a complete opposite personality, she even had to nerve to tell Chloe to move on from him when Chloe noticed the difference, and she doesnt even believe Clark when he tells her! My God. Then this episode she has the nerve to try to make it like it's Clarks fault that she keeps falling for men who aren't Clark and it's Clark's fault she keeps lying to him, and it's Clarks fault she couldn't tell between the man she supposedly loves from a phantom, the list goes on, I was so glad when Clark responded to her turning the blame on him by calling her out on this but then he ruined it by yet again going back to her, in fact had she ran away with Bizarro last episode I'm pretty sure everyone would have been happy, especially since they had a better relationship in half an episode than her and Clark ever did, because Lana and Clark are just not meant to be, they don't go well together, they don't understand each other or even know each other really, all they do is make each other miserable and the fact it was dragged out for 7 seasons is insane, it really drags the show down, when have they ever been happy together? All I can think of is that one episode where he was human. All of Lana's relationships are pretty bad, her first season boyfriend was probably her best, anyway Clarks relationship with Lana was terrible and would have done the show a massive favour by ending it sooner but yet again they want to continue beating a severely dead horse so he makes up with her yet again at the end of this episode, how on earth can you even come back from that? She literally couldn't tell you apart from a phantom that she was living with for weeks and even sleeping with him (her and Clark don't even sleep together), and falls more in love with him than the real Clark and to add in all the lies and secrets she has been feeding him lately, how can you pick up a relationship after that like? She literally fell more in love with someone pretending to be you than actual you, if there was ever proof needed that you don't belong together that's it, they even admit at the end that Clark is doubting that Lana is the one for him but yet still wants to get back with her, ridiculous, I want to scream everytime they're on the screen, it wasn't so bad in the first few seasons but after 7 SEASONS!!! I just can't take it anymore, Clark is a total moron for Lana, always was and god only knows why, the only thing she has going for her is her pretty face, as for the review and Lana saying Clark has hypocritical standards, how does he when he actually does for the most part live up to his own standards? And excuse Clark for actually wanting a nice girlfriend, that's all the standards he has for Lana and it's somehow Clark's fault she can no longer meet these standards. Clark isn't asking for her to be perfect, he's just asking for her not to keep falling in love with other men and lying about everything, especially after the fact he told her his big sercret of being an alien, the whole reason he came clean is so they could have trust and then she just starts lying instead of him and her lies are far less noble than Clarks were. Even what went down with Lex, she somehow got away from any blame in that too, yes what Lex did to her with the baby was horrible but it was Lana who got herself into that mess, it is Lana who slept with Lex and agreed to marry him but somehow this is forgotten just because she was going to call off the wedding after she spied on Clark to get his secret, she gets no blame in the show for anything she does, it's always someone elses fault and then with her kidnapping Lionel and pretending it's for Clark's sake LOL Lionel has been helping Clark more than Lana ever did and then her spying on lex and trying to frame him for her murder, and she fakes her own death leaving those that love her in pain thinking she is dead, just horrible and not to mention the girl she kidnapped and woudn't bring to the hospital because she wanted to monitor her, the list goes on and on but no matter what she does Clark will still go back to her and she will still recieve no blame, she has to be one of my least favourite characters ever, and this episode angered me especially after the last one.
Lana should have been gone from the show seasons ago or at least her and Clark should have stayed broken up, when she got with Lex their relationship should have ended then, she literally slept with Clark's enemy and was going to marry him, Clark should have walked away then. Or at the very least this time after Bizarro but no, and then again later this season when Lana leaves the show, they should have left it there but YET AGAIN they get back together for the few episodes next season, which i still cannot believe they actually brought her back again next season, and tried to turn them into star crossed lovers and it was ridiculous, the writers just couldn't leave them end their relationship maturely by admitting they weren't supposed to be together, no instead they had to write how they're forced apart, Lois deserved much better than that, thankfully the later seasons do develop it so well that in season 9 or 10 had Lana come back and been able to be with Clark he would not choose her over Lois at all as he has actually found the one he is meant to be with but it still is annoying what they did in season 8, Lana should never have been brought back. Basically Lana and Bizarro were a better couple than Lana and Clark lol.
