Re: Smallville -- "Requiem" -- 2/5/09
Please get rid of Lana already, every scene with her still brings the show to a screeching halt. Ugh.
The "what is justice" part of this episode between Chloe and Oliver was pretty good.
I really don't get why the writers still believe the Lana character brings anything to the show.
And what's with a kryptonite bomb? "There's enough kryptonite there to destroy half a city!!!"
Oliver and Chloe are still good characters, but Lana is killing the Clark character. Hopefully, Lois can reel that back in.
Also not happy with them bringing back what has become the cliched "play a popish song over reflection towards the end of an episode". I thought they had gotten away from that.

This episode just flew by.
Like a glacier.
Chloe/Oliver stuff was great. The test, blah. That final scene with Clana was just painful to watch.
Things should get better next episode.

That was not the way to bring any closure to the Clark-Lana relationship. The situation changed but they didn't. Lana leaves and Clark is heartbroken. How many times have they done this same damn dance? And to top it off Lex just blows up? After this pitiful excuse for a grand revenge scheme?

Hated the Toyman.
Making Lana toxic to Clark, eh, I guess that's one way to kill that relationship without killing off Lana (given her "future" destiny hinited at in "Legion").
Those last 5 minutes were excruciating in a bad acting kind of way.

This episode was awful. I know Smallville isn't the best written show in the world, but I've never seen an entire episode where the characters narrated all the plot points in dialogue so plainly while appearing wooden. I think Mack was the only one to actually do something with her dialogue.

I must be in the minority but i actually liked the way it ended. I liked Clark stumbling to Lana for one last kiss while fighting off the effects of the kryptonite. Maybe its the 13 year old girl living inside me. Dont get me wrong, i want Lois back and to finally see some movement in bringing her and Clark together.

It wasn't terrible but you could see that setup coming a mile away when Lana first absorbed the kryptonite and then they revisited the necklace from S1.

Re: Smallville -- "Requiem" -- 2/5/09
I've watched Smallville since Episode One and I've been in lust with Kristin Kreuk since Day 1.
She may not be the best actress in the world, but I've always wondered why many of you say that she is a bad actress. I've seen bad actresses over the years and she has never come to mind. Maybe I'm blinded by her beauty, but I think not.
This episode was one of the better episodes in a long time and I think it is the perfect time for Lana Lang to say goodbye. I hope we don't see her again and it was an unexpected pleasure to see her for the last 3 episodes or so.
I thought the final scene between her and Clark was pretty touching and maybe a little corny. I will always remember the scene when she discovers who Clark is. That brought tears to my eyes and it always will. Maybe that is the romantic in me.

I don't have even one bad thing to say about Kristin Kreuk and even her portrayal of Lana. I agree with you Chris. I've been mesmerized by her beauty since seeing her on the screen for the 1st time. I've never hated the Lana character as much as most of you here. I will miss her, but I know it's time for the story to move forward and for Erica Durance, who I also love to finally get some significant storyline to this show.

The plot point of throwing Clark and Lana together one last time only to have them torn apart....again. So Now Lana is Meteor Rock Girl. That was kinda lame but did like the character moments. The Lex thing was sorta cheesy wit his Darth Vader breathing apparatus. What the?
