//Lana is *terrified* of being alone. Even in Wither, it's easy to read her actions, especially at the end, as being more about not wanting to be alone than anything else //
Perfectly right. She walks in with all the doubts in the world and Lex says the right things. Not that they were lies; I believe they were genuine. Lex is truly seeking a connection. But instead of still thinking the relationship through, Lana grabs onto his words as lifelines and is manufacturing the relationship in her head because she needs this. Who else does she have? She doesn’t have Clark and as much as they try to establish these situations where Chloe and Lana share with one another, I never viewed them as friends. They’re only friends through a Clark connection.
It’s alternately hysterical and sad how in two episodes she’s tried to save Lex, trying to be there for him and boning it royally. She needs to be needed as much as she needs others.
//There's *nothing* OOC in Lana's behavior hooking up with Lex. Some people may not *like* it, but that doesn't make it OOC.//
And that’s what it is, so many people just don’t like the direction the relationship is going. For all the KK fans who feel that this is a character assassination, I want to ask them “Don’t you think as an actor, Kristin is loving this opportunity to add another layer to Lana?”
