are you kidding I LOVE this scene too! its the hand hold that gets me...Clark grabs her hand, and Lana just kinda holds on to it for a minute because of course she still has feelings for him, I mean she told him she loved him and vice versa! Thank you for posting it up, instead of searching through my DVDs to find it. I can just fav this one and watch it over and over!! :)
Peter Davies WHAT??? Did you see the whole series? Or you just like to judge characters superficially? If you think Lana was annoying, selfish person, I have to disappoint you. That character is close to reality. She's not perfect. She has pluses and minuses. *Yeah, she made mistakes but her good side is much more stronger than the bad one.* Because: - s8ep11, Clark was told that the only way to save the world was to kill the body that Brianiac inhabited (Chloe). Clark thought to do it. But who was the one who convinced him that he could save Chloe and billions of lives. She made him do what would seem impossible (even Legion of Super-Heroes didn't know what to do, but Lana did!): he saved both Chloe and the rest of the world. So do you still think he would never become a superhero if he stayed with Lana? - s4ep2 and s11 she saved Lois' life; - s5ep13 she was there to comfort Clark after Jonathan's death; she searched every pawnshop in Metropolis and returned Clark his father's watch; - s3ep3, the episode where Lana hated freaks. But! When she learned that Clark was freak too, she kicked freak-killer's ass to save Clark; she was not afraid for her life but for Clark's. "Clark is more human than you will ever be!" - she told to the freak-killer who could kill her ("You know, there's only the one thing I hate worse than a freak and that's a freak-lover"). Notice, Lana, being arm-tied overcame a 84 kg guy BY HERSELF! - s3ep2, "damsel in distress" saved ON HER OWN Martha and Jonathan and herself from gangsters; - s4ep22, she stole and kept the Crystal of Air, risking her own life. Then she gave it to Clark because he needed it more; - s8ep14, she stopped Clark from killing Lex because he would never forgive himself. This scene showed what was more important to her: vengeance for Lex or love for Clark; -s8, at first she didn't want to be with Clark because she thought that "the world needs him more" (as Lois in s10); also don't forget her words in s7ep5: "Clark, I just want to grab on to you and never let you go but one day the world will need you more than I do, and I don't want to be the one holding you here"; - s1ep9, Clark was upset and thought his parents’ life would be better if they had never adopted him. Lana comforted him and told her own similar story with happy ending; - s1ep2, Clark dreams that he's flying to Lana. Then he wakes up and he is really flying! She made him fly as Lois did. Do you still think Clark couldn’t take off being with Lana? Actually there are more good deeds made by Lana. But people prefer not to see them. So obviously Lana isn’t the worst Smallville character at least because she could make Clark fly (as Lois could), believe in himself, she loved Clark more than her own life (as Lois and other his beloved ones did). Also deep down Lana was a badass person too. And she needed super abilities mostly to be with Clark, not because she considered herself weak. We see that in season 11. *When she lost all her powers, she wasn’t upset at all.* She decided to stay in Africa and continue helping children being a normal. Her words *”Now, even without my powers, I feel stronger than ever”.*
did you NOT read the comments below... anyways, it is late for you to even comment like that, becasue LANA proved where her loyalties are when she KNEW about Clark.... " you're still the same Clark Kent to me" and in REQUIEM, we know how Lana's arc ended in the show, SACRIFICING herself for him to LEARN how to be up to his powers, NOT go after a SLUT, called HOIS LAME!
Because she doesn’t know what to expect from him next time. On the one hand, Clark wants to be with her again, but on the other hand, he can’t because of his secret, because his guilty for her dead parents became stronger when Martha lost her baby.
