It wasn't fear ... she realized it's been Clark ... saving her and everyone else from these threats ... and also she kinda of understood at this point why he hid it ...
no. that's how everyone in the superman universe sees that (as lana does in the scene: clark is so fast - he just disappears). the super speed effect is only for the tv screen watchers to make sure that everyone understands that clark has super speed
That is the difference between Smallville and the Flash in the flash they always seem to know in which direction he run but in Smallville we can see them looking arround for Clark after he start runing
@buggaugga I thought that for a while too as it makes sense. But you after a while I realized it was the only time in the show that happened that way. When Chloe first found out and was watching from her perspective. They left in the effect. I Truly do feel like this was an oversight brought on by a time crunch in post. But hey, whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.
@@Dolph87yeah but in that scene we were watching from a third person pov.. in this scene out pov is from Lana's eyes. (At least that's what I want to think) we're watching from where Lana is hiding so we're seeing what she's seeing
@Dolph87 if it was an accidental oversight it was still a fortuitous one. We actually got to see and hear what it actually would see and hear if it was from their perspective. No one ever reacted to a big woosh sound with their back turned. From their perspective it would be silent with a breeze of air stirred up and he would be just gone. Love the scene no matter what
*i **_#LOVE_** how they gave his speed the **_#ProperContext_** from lana's point of view at the end, rather than what **_#WE_** the viewers normally see.*
gods, after allll the accidents and how she ALMOST found out. Who would've thought Lana would have found out with the classic 'hide and you'll know the truth' tactic?
how superman failed to hear Lana breathing or her heartbeat getting faster as he starts saying those dramatic lines about how it's the hardest thing to let Lana go, still baffles me to this day
Watching reruns of Smallville now, it's difficult to look past the messed up sex cult she was deeply involved in. She plays Cloie to perfect. It's just a shame that her real life didn't mimic her character on Smallville even to the smallest degree. Thank God Kristen Kruek didn't fall into the same crap. You follow a TV show for a decade, so you want to think there's at least a little bit of the character in the actor. I can only imagine how shocked her cast mates were when the story broke
They blame Clark for Lana marrying Lex, when she's a grown woman making her own decisions. Even locking Chloe in Lex's wine cellar to lure Clark into revealing his secret is being blamed on Lex having a bad influence on her. Lana was never held accountable for anything she did, which was a good reason she became so resented over time.
@@brandontrammel4581 I literally explained how. Zero accountability. There was nothing "amazing" about Lana. She was tolerable for the first 3 seasons or so, had a decent moment once in a blue moon after that, then became unbearable.
@@KalvinEllis respectfully the writers even said they didn't know what to do with Lana and honestly her best acting was season four beginning of five and 8. She did take her blame but Lana was an amazing and extremely loyal and kind character. She's the reason lots of people wanted Clana and objectively by far chemistry wise with Tom is literally listed as having some of the best chemistry in TV history. Again the writers admitted their fault. Instead of just going with chemistry and having Lana endgame like Superboy series they didn't know what to do because people loved her. I like Lois and loved her on the show but there's no way in hell they had more chemistry than Clark and Lana. Also as much as Superman/Clark is my favorite superhero and character of all time they made him look like an idiot his choices with Lana. Nobody else has to go through that.
@@brandontrammel4581 Okay we're not talking about acting here, we're talking about writing and she was objectively the worst written character on the show. Kristin is a good actress, but she was rarely given a chance to show that with this character. I'm not getting into the chemistry thing(which they did have, especially early on) that Clark and Lois had like no other two people on the show. The bad moments far outnumbered the bright spots and over time people rejected her precisely because they didn't know what to do with her and kept putting her in situations she didn't belong in and was never held accountable for. I remember in S7 they were getting questions about why keep doing the Clana thing again when the very theme of their relationship by that point was about how they didn't work and she was holding him back. I don't disagree about them making Clark look like an idiot, and the less we say about Lana's return in S8 the better.
@@KalvinEllis I agree. They wasted an amazing character objectively. They should have just kept Clark and Lana together especially if she got powers because Smallville Clark was op and immortal so he wouldn't have aged and neither would she and have somebody by his side who understands him. Or just have her like they mentioned just leave and be the amazing hero she was prophesized to be even without Clark by those from the Legion of the future. Respectfully the writers said they destroyed Lana's character on purpose to try and make their breakup more believable and push Lois but like with S8 she comes back all amazing and then they just take her away makes it a million times worse because they are apart because they had to be and it makes Lois look bad. When they weren't trying to make drama just to make drama Lana was a really good character and smart.
I felt like Lana always pried too much. She always tried to force the truth out of people and that never worked with Clark. It always had the exact opposite effect. I know Lana eventually became a complete badass, but in earlier seasons, she would immediately blame Clark for some of the most ridiculous things. Like in season 2 or something, when she got trampled by the horse after Lex pushed her, she told Clark that he was too dangerous to be around, but got mad because he stayed away. She was the one who got mad for Clark not involving her in it sooner. She wanted him to be more "honest" with her, but the moment he trusted her, she got hurt. He retracts again. In season 4, she immediately blamed Clark for getting Jason fired because she assumed that he would actually be that spiteful. He takes another step back from telling her. I know these are years before season six, but they are supposed to be small examples as to how petty Lana can be sometimes. I don't think they were the greatest fit because neither of them could ever let themselves completely trust each other. At times they were too codependent. Clark worried about Lana so much that it kept him from being free. Lana kept trying to know everything about him so much that she was falling into darkness. Lois on the other hand as fairly care free. She was less susceptible to being dragged into Clark's bull crap. It was a more independent relationship. Sorry for the whole essay, but I just needed to get that out there.
I guess the main difference between Clarks relationship with Lana and that one with Lois is Clarks maturity and acceptance of being that extraordinary person he is. With Lana he pushed into a romantic relationship and when getting there, he kept a distance, that Lana couldn't explain to herself and Clark didn't explain either. When you become a couple, you don't keep a big part of your life as a secret like Clark did. That inadequate distance constantly puzzled Lana and made her more and more suspicious and angry. With Lois Clark did not rush into a relationship, because for a long time he even didn't want one - and so did Lois. Their relationship was more a professional one, than an emotional one and consequently Lois didn't expect to know everything from Clark. On the other hand from episode 5x1 Clark had Chloe as a trusted person to get the advise and the cheering-up he needed. From that point it was more rationally controllable to get into a relationship with Lois, because he was less emotionally dependent on Lois like he was on Lana before. And of course he had that Lana experience and knew, that when it comes to love, rushing in really means rushing in. So when they both fell in love, he could tell her everything.
Also the times that she and Chloe were dating the Jonathan Taylor Thomas character and she blamed didn’t believe Clark and called him jealous and also when that chick that was obsessed with her made everyone believe she was Whitney and also said Clark was jealous and Clark had to basically tell her and Chloe we never dated stop treating me like we did, basically she wanted the truth about Clark’s secret but never believed him anyway, she was the equivalent to felicity in arrow how she was first couple of seasons, I guess CW likes writing love interests like that 😂
Well, in Lana' defense, you have to look at it from a young adolescent's perspective. The guy she likes is guarding secrets from her even though everything she is out there for him to see. Its like two people trying to hook up with completely different perspectives. Which happens a lot on your first relationship because a lot of times, its based on superficial preferences such as same hobbies and looks rather than a connection.
Very well said. Clark & Lana we’re too codependent. Lois & Clark are a good match they’re both strong independently and even stronger when they work as a team.
Actually…..all of that is correct. Lana got on my nerves the first several seasons how she was with Clark, then began to mature later, unfortunately their love relationship didn’t get to the altitude it needed…..
He needs to focus on hearing / x ray vision to use his powers. He doesn’t hear everything and see everything all at once. Imagine that sensory overload. The show even shows you when he’s ‘activating’ his powers
I remember Lex tried elaborate plans to try and see if Clark had powers to no results and Lana tries something that probably took her a minute to come up with and she sees it all.
Yeah, big plot holes. This wine seller is in lex's mansion. Clark used powers without thinking twice and security cameras/guards didn't catch it somehow as well as they didn't catch it in any other situations. Lana also outed Clark by making a trap and for her it's okay. But when lex made plans for testing whether had Clark abilities or not - it's wrong.
@@lenakataeva7525 because when Lex made plans or traps, it normally ended up with not just Clark, but the people he cared about in danger. Lex didn’t think about how it would be perceived by anyone, or wether anyone would be in danger or not, while with Lana here, all she did was push Chloe into a room to get Clark to open it and reveal his secret. It put 0 people in danger, and the worst that could happen is someone comes to help Chloe and Lana doesn’t figure out Clark’s secret. That’s it, there’s no malicious intent, it’s just to let go of any doubts before marrying Lex
@@deadpooldan9862 well she made her trap in lex's mansion. She could endanger Clark himself outing him to lex. Also the plan itself is very manipulative and lex-ish. But for Lana, it's not only working but no one has a problem with it. The same thing repeated with Tess. She elaborated plan to learn Clark's secret and it somehow worked and she became a good guy in the process. But lex had so many obstacles, tho it's understandable. Otherwise, we wouldn't get 7 seasons of Clark and lex back and forth relationship.
Lana and Lex had something in common; their vanity and curiosity of desperately seeking answers about their near death experiences..It's the way a lot of people are.Why can't they just be grateful they had another chance to live another day.
@@akshaynatu6568 it’s one thing to be curious about life, and another is to be obsessed about things that might you in danger. Look at Lex for example: it wasn’t enough to explore he felt like he could change things, and make them better, and even after making them worse they just go the extra mile without caring
@@stormlighter82 to the point of him being curious about near death experiences, that’s tricky, cause if you remember season 1, Lex hit Clark at 60 mph, and then he wakes up to the roof of his car torn off, which all the scientists he had said would have been impossible given what they knew. why not question the man who saved you who you hit at 60 mph off a bridge, who came out completely fine without a scratch. So yes, curiosity about a moment or moments where you should have died is a completely normal action.
@@alechamilton1864 and then put all eyes on the person that saved u? What a nice way to be grateful; I’ll stick to just be grateful, and welcome the person into my life
@@stormlighter82 ok, I’m just saying it’s a normal reaction that Lex was curious considering the person who saved him, he hit off a bridge at 60+ mph, and then the guy didn’t even have a scratch. So it has nothing to do with being ‘ungrateful’ as you say. It has to do with the fact that literally Lex should have been dead, and the way he was saved made no amount of logical sense.
At long last, she knows...and this time, no auto accidents to be the metaphorical wrench in the works. This proves what I've lways known about Clark. He is a man of steel...whose heart is anything but.
I can understand why Clark never told Lana when they were in HS. HS is such a small part of their life, and you may never see each other again so why even bother telling such a huge secret. Not to mention, their freshmen year together were the first year they were even friends so why would he tell someone a heaven defying secret after just one year? Their sophomore and junior year is when they were the closest and the most understandable time to tell her in during the HS arc. Their senior year was when she was dating the coach and I see no reason whatsoever to tell her at that time. Lana and Clark finally ended and each could finally move on. Then they finally started dating and he lost his powers, so again, their was no reason to tell her. The best time in the whole series to tell her was right after he came back from the dead stopping the bomb or rocket because that is when she had the most questions and they were the closest without having to deal with Lex as Lex wasnt really a part of their relationship. He could have told her and have her start to isolate Lex from their lives. Once she started getting close to Lex and used him to share her relationship baggage then that was it. Lex would never be able to let go on why they are suddenly happy together when it came completely out of the blue as we saw in the episode of Clark proposing and Lex practically killing Lana to force her to get his answers. And that was the whole problem after, Clark was constantly reminded of this fact while everyone else forgot. They just assumed Lex would move on if Lana left but if clark told Lana they become a couple again which is completely illogical to everyone, especially to Lex, which would result in Lex going after Lana again and endangering her again which Clark didnt want to do but everyone else had short term memory loss or something. OK, sorry for my short or long monologue. If you read it cool, if not that is fine too. I really just wanted to type about this and see how many words this is in MW. Ok goodbye
Clark's self-righteousness did more harm than good. All those with powers who were subjected to horrific experiments by Lex because Clark didn't have the balls to finish him
@Fundamenski and @sau0002, they didn't forget to include the effect. Because the episode is from different points of view, and this particular part is from Lana's, you're seeing how Clark would look to a regular human being if he were super-speeding away in front of them....which just looks like he's disappearing lol. If you watch the original ep, they include his super speed effect when it's Clark's POV I believe.
Honestly, that is the most important thing that I learned from this whole scene. I have always wondered what his super speed looks like to the people in the show, because it seemed strange that no one could ever follow his speed trail. This scene clears up that concern. P.S.,I know that your comment is over 12 years old. I hope that you are still alive and doing alright.
@JezussHD I know it's been like two months and you probably already figured this out, but this episode kind of takes you through the stories of some of the characters throughout Lana and Lex's wedding day. This scene is from Lana's point of view, to where the first one was from Clark's point of view.
@@amitkenan3878which turned out to be a lie which shows that lex and Lionel are sick manipulative people who would do anything to get what they want even lie to women not a good idea at all
I liked Lana the first couple of seasons even tho she was annoying at times but when she started dating lex it should’ve been over and instead the writers gave us another 2 seasons of that stupid drama. I wanted her to see Clark with Lois so she could feel what Clark felt. Clois all the way.
@Drummer89 I know your comment is old, but i'll take a crack at this anyway. The reason you don't see clarks chemtrail, is because, the scene when you're looking at him, is a vision form the Lanas eyes. Meaning, in reality you don't see clarks chemtrail as it's way to fast to be seen by a naked eye, and thus, he just disapears. Hope that clears it for ya. :)

It still surprised me that characrers like Lana after seeing Clark's strength act like they haven't seen other people with his abilities and strength before. I get seeing someone lift a car for the first time, but after like the 8th time, that feat of strength isn't as shocking anymore.
Does anyone know the song of the opening scene of this episode ! Its not in this video but the openinh scene is not on youtube at all ! Its the scene where they're all preparing for the wedding it was an amazing song so PLEASE ANSWER !:-)
Clark could've prevented anything that happened after S3 if he just told Lex and Lana everything, Lex wasnt always the bad guy and Lana would've never taken the path she took.
@@enrk2195 ye... protecting clark... also even if she didn't get blackmailed, this is lex were talking about, evil genius mastermind, he prolly hid everything well, so no... she didn't know what she was getting into.
Nah, they made their own personal choices and that wasn't on Clark. One of the worst things the show did was always trying to make everything Clark's fault, instead of treating the other characters like grown ups who had to take accountability for their own decisions.
i kinda hate that lana manipulated a situation in order to get the information she wants. though i get lana loves clark and she did that to get closer to knowing him, it's his secret to tell. not hers to force out. though i like the two individual characters by themselves, their relationship seemed too codependent.
That secret infiltrated Lana's life. It's only natural to try and figure it out. Besides, she respectfully gave him many years to be up front with her. And what you see as their relationship being codependent, I see it as having deep love and emotional connection to each other.
@@herdingborahae Chloe has forced many times too. One was spying on Clark, when Lionel asked her to do it. Another one was when she asked Clark to reveal his secret, after she got the power to make people tell the truth.
I started hating Lana season 5 onwards but man Kristin played the hell out of that character. She has no dialogues here and her eyes convey everything in this scene
i know we're all humans and we have no way of knowing what goes beyond our eyes but sometimes there is more into the feeling than to actually seeing it w/ our very own eyes...dont get me wrong i'l a clark/lana fan too.but honestly she always suspected there was something about clark therefore she should have stood by him....in a way she kinda acted like Lex..more concern about wether clark had powers or not than to find out herself that he's only protecting her.
What I liked about Chloe and Lois, they never "forced" Clark to tell them his secret. They both waited for him to come to them. Lana didn't do that. I loved Chloe in this scene.
Okay I know everyone seems to be obssesed with "Clana", I was to when i first started watching aswell. But the tv show is based on the SUPERMAN COMICS. He is SUPPOSED to be with Lois Lane..
Chloe: " Clark, you don't hesitate to run into a fire building or take a bullet because , nothing can penetrate that iron flesh of yours" Yeah sure, except for the fact that he died at the begin of season five , in order to stop a nuclear attack pointed at Smallville , while being completely powerless . You saw that Chloe! 🤣🤣
@@gautamb0927 precisely my point: Chloe accused Him of not having the guts to go through it with Lana, because that would have hurt Him , on the contrary Clark behaved like a hero even in those circumstances where his own life was at stake . Beside, He gave it a go in multiple occasion with Lana and that , just didn't work out in the end . I would be disappointed in her too for marrying a man who used to be my best friend and that is so manipulative and self-centered. It seems like Lana can't tell the Right hand from the left! I wouldn't waste my time with a person who is so lapsed in her judgment .
The best time Clark could have told Lana the truth was when he came back from the dead. After dying from GWS when he was a mere mortal. How do you explain your resurrection without some Devine or miraculous powers at play???
He didn't want to risk her life. I mean his friend Pete is almost tortured to death several times by people who wanted to find out the truth about Clark
Does it not bother anyone that Clark can literally hear a bomb ticking off halfway across the city but can’t hear Lana hiding behind a shelf 2 feet away from them 💀 💀
If this yes even the tiniest bit accurate he would've known she was hiding because he has super hearing as well. He'd hear her moving around, breathing, and even her heart beating. That said, Kristen Kruek is such a smoke show.
1:35 "The Man of Steel is nowhere to be found." She should have said, "The Man of Steel becomes the Man of Paper." That makes more sense and sounds a lot better.
