This will more than likely be my last Clana video.   As much as I loved them as a couple (despite what TPTB did to them), there is no one else in Smallville world that I could ever see Clark loving as much as Lana.  I’ve been working on this thing for months but RL got in the way and then I got stuck and unmotivated but I’ve finally finished the

And they especially cheapened their love later on my writing the episode the way they did. Clark and Lana didn't choose not to be together, they can't be together.

Exactly. I feel like if Lana could somehow figure out a way to remove the suit, or neutralize the kryptonite she absorbed, Clark and Lana would be back together in a heartbeat. Kelly Peterson spouted some nonsense about how we weren't supposed to take the kryptonite literally, that it was a symbol of all the reasons they could never be together, represented initially by Lana's necklace and then more emphatically by the suit, but I think that's hogwash. I think they just didn't have the guts to have Clark and Lana acknowledge that they weren't meant to be, because they were afraid it would alienate the Clana fans.

I think the Lana arc was a huge slap in the face to future Clois. The message I got was that Lois will always be Clark's second choice, his consolation prize. And maybe that's what the show wanted to say: that the ship they've featured for all these years is the real one, rather than the one we know from the comic books. But if that's so, they should have just gone for it, and given us an AU Supes story, where Clark and Lana do end up together. Because Superman as a tortured, heartbroken hero who never has true love or happiness in his life is NOT what I want to see.

Sorry for the rant, obviously this is still a sore point for me. And yes, I'm still working all the time, but I no longer go in on the weekends, and I'm pretty good about showing up for date night once a week, so I've definitely made progress! :)
