Smallville Season 8 (Clana Arc) Review: Lois Lane and Lana Lang
Well I am BUMMED that the next four episodes of Smallville (starting I believe January 15th, 2009) that DO NOT include our girl, Erica Durance (Lois) will therefore have no scenes with Lois and Lana. I know I'm not a particularly big fan of Lana Lang, she's BORING to me except with Lex Luthor, BIG Lexana fan, but I did appreciate her friendship with Lois.
To me, from their first scene in Gone where Lana saved Lois's life, they had chemistry. And Chloe, Lana's supposed best friend, was a bit judgmental of both Lois and Lana and who they chose as boyfriends. Chloe never understood the bad boy thing and let's face it, Clark never loved Chloe romantically, his women are Lois and Lana. So while I like Lana and Chloe about the same, Lana and Lois have more to relate to with the bad boys and well...Clark.
Some people would prefer an adversarial scene between Lois and Lana, but personally, even if Lois in the 8th season has become closer to Clark and is even in love with him, I don't see her judging Lana. I see her understanding Lana's point of view as she always has. She might not appreciate Clark not getting over her faster, or Lana leaving him a DVD in Artic, but I don't see her giving Lana an ultimatum.
Anyway, regardless, I don't think it would've killed them for Lois to come back in time for all three of them (Clark, Lana, and Lois) to all say something to each other. And for Lois and Lana to step aside and say goodbye to each other. It's not like they didn't know each other and have scenes of their own. A "have a nice life, good luck to you, Clark's a pain in the ass but I wish both you well," wouldn't have killed anyone.
So, I made these little banners in honor of them. It's sorta interesting, me being a total Clois person and barfing at Clana half the time, but I thought Lana and Lois had some good scenes, and I appreciate it when women don't act stupid just because they're in competition for the same man. It's nice. Hopefully in the rest of season 8 Lana will behave herself towards Lois with Clark, even if Lois isn't there.
