I tire of being pissed on by A&M, and being asked to do a fucking rain dance over it. And I tire of shippers coming to a LEXANA fan board to make stupid brain-dead remarks.
Lana dumping Lex by letter. On his wedding day. When he gave her so much time to consider the proposal. Being blackmailed into the marriage, and crying at the alter. They can't even give us love and kissing in a Lexana wedding episode, no it's Clana who are the ones kissing and planning to run away together
*tries not to cry*

Date: 2007-03-16 02:04 am (UTC)Why would the future Superman kiss someone elses pregnant fiance, and plan to run away with her?

Date: 2007-03-16 02:22 am (UTC)But basically, after spending early season 6 wanting nothing to do with Clark, Lana is in love with him again, and apparently doesn't give a shit about Lex. Oh and she kisses Clark and offers to run away with him, on the morning of the beatiful Lexana wedding that we were so looking forward too. And she plans to leave Lex at the alter, not face to face, but with a note saying sorry.
Then Lionel steps in and blackmails Lana into marrying Lex by threatening to kill Clark if she doesn't. So she makes herself a martyr for Clark, isn't that special Then she cries during the ceremony, and keeps glancing at Clark, then they mope at one another at the limo in the end as she's leaving with Lex. Oh and they're planning to make the baby that we were looking forward too, be some evil scheme that Lex is doing to Lana with some monster freak baby
I think that about covers it *swallows bile*

Date: 2007-03-17 10:46 pm (UTC)Clana is a disease, I wish they'd let go of it. Of course you know I'm not any more enthusiastic about lexana but I think you'd probably prefer if it I didn't go into that right now.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-17 11:53 pm (UTC)And yeah. Lionel blackmailed Lana into marrying Lex, and she was cringing from Lex's touch, and moping during the ceremony. The ceremony that I was stupid enough to look forward too. And she started crying right after saying her vows. And other characters commented on Lana being trapped in a loveless marriage with a heartless monster.
Lana originally was going to dump Lex with this note, "I'm so sorry. I can't go through with it". And that was all she felt she owed Lex

Date: 2007-03-16 01:55 am (UTC)Lionel was the only one who was worth watching the episode for. Lionel is made of WIN. Seriously. Sometimes I think that Lionel is the only one who can make me believe improbable plot elements on this show.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 02:14 am (UTC)1. Lana kisses Clark, and agrees to run away with him, in Lex's study - the same study that Lana knows is wired with video surveillance. That's and idea for the win.
2. Lex kills some one, with his bare hands, on his own property? Lex Luthor? What now??
3. Lex allowing Lionel to get away with hitting and blackmailing him? Yeah, right?

Date: 2007-03-16 01:42 pm (UTC)I think this ep showed Lex really being crazy, since he was so talking bout loving Lana and all the time he's using her for his eevol baby hatching.
It was rediculous how Martha was back to saying, go out there and get her, Clark! After he trashed the engagement party doing his me love you thing.
Yes, vey back and forth on all charcters, but I've gotten rather used to it, for the last three seasons, you know, somehow it's gotten to be second nature to just...let it glide by my iris and impact my brain cells without my really being bothered...excellent job of coping, I'd say.

Date: 2007-03-16 02:42 am (UTC)Well there's Martha telling StalkerSupes to leave Lana alone in Crimson, then advising him to propose to Lana or whatever now she's approaching her wedding day. So I don't get the feeling that consistency is the goal here

Date: 2007-03-16 02:19 am (UTC)I feel like the show has just pissed all over us fans and our ship. The show really IS all about Clana isn't it? Forget Superman, and Clark's destiny. Forget growth. Ha. Who needs that! It's all about the nauseating soap opera that is Clanaville. Just what in the hell happened to the first half of the season? Oy. And what ticks me off even more is hearing that Clana get a kiss (or was it two? Gag) and they cut out the Lexana kiss that was in the teaser. What the hell ever.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 02:33 am (UTC)I can't say how revolted I am that the future Supes would be kissing a woman who's about to be married. That right there kills the rest of the season for me.

Date: 2007-03-16 02:22 am (UTC)But no, knowing SV, he'll just blame Clark for everything.

Date: 2007-03-16 03:01 am (UTC)I think the network is just asking them to cater to Clana at this point
And apparently Clark says something about losing Lana being the worst day of his life. Yeah that's right, worse than the day his father DIED just last season.

Date: 2007-03-18 03:00 pm (UTC)And y'know maybe Lexana fans should have been more aggressive for our ship, like the Clana, Clois, and Chlark fans. Swarming K-site, and Steven DeKnight's blog is something that was avoided, and most of us shippers were staying in our Lexana havens, and leaving the show to write whatever story they want. But then that led to us being treated as nonexistent by the writers and the CW. Seems that jumping up and down in a tantrum does lead to positive ship results after all.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-18 05:10 pm (UTC)But not positive ratings results. After all the trailers, commercials and interviews, and being the most heavily promoted ep. of the year - "Promise" simply didn't come through with the viewer numbers.

Date: 2007-03-16 05:48 am (UTC)I wanted to cry, tonight. Absolutely wanted to cry, but I refused to do it in front of my mother who is a Clois/Clana shipper. I don't think that there has *ever* been a television show or episode, that has ever left me feeling this fucked over or this upset.
Seriously, I'm now reduced to Summer (re: see The O.C.), and am having rage blackouts over this all over the mother frakin' place. I just - really, we were just shit all over double time and it's not even right or fair. And I can't even begin to tell you how much it hurts me to say that, if this was the way they intended to ruin Lex&Lana - then I wished to fucking god they would have never given us the better moments.
I really fucking hate Clana right now. I cannot even begin to express my outrage and contempt and I'd like to have five minutes in a room with A&M as well as the pesky Clana fans out there - because they'll be mother fucking wishing they could jump off a goddamn bridge when I'm done with them.
*hugs you tightly*
I just don't have the words for how much my heart is shattered right now, so shattered that it's killing me to even look at my icons and my layout.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 01:19 pm (UTC)I was in tears last night because even if they did want to bring Clana back, and end the Lexana, they could have treated us with the tiniest bit of respect.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 04:40 pm (UTC)Well, goddamn. They didn't have to wait on their ship for five years, and then have it turn back around to the Clana. Fuck, I can't help the way that I feel. It was wrong and A&M were misleading and they lied. I've learned from the days of Buffy, (re: Tara's death and things said by writers/Joss/others/SDK in interviews), that lying is "not" a necessity, but it's actually a freaking "choice".
And now, I can't even enjoy the good things about my ship, because it led up to all of this. And we won't even get into how I now feel about Chloe and Martha - and that's what hurts me even more. Those were characters to actually "grew" to love in certain ways or another - and now, after last night's episode I am really finding it hard to look at them and try to keep the love and respect that I had for them lately in my heart.
All I see is this Clana crap and all of the fans getting pissed on and then others shouting hallelujah and they're acting like we don't have the right to be upset at all and we're just all out to bash SV with a new form of bashing - hell, it's what I basically got told in another comment.
I hate people.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 08:32 pm (UTC)I hate people.
I visited Steven Deknight's blog, for I don't know why, and the gloating going on there made me ill. And then saying that other fans are acting the same as they once did, when it's not the same at all. Clana broke up in Hypnotic/Reckonning, and then after Vessel, and all through season 6, some shippers were in the blog all of the time shitting on the show, whilst boasting that they never watched. How is that the same as people expressing disappointment in an episode that they just watched? It's not.
And I don't remember any Lexana shipper shouting to the fans "eat it", or invading a shipper board for Clana, just so they could cackle about enjoy the kisses our couple are getting. It's disgusting the way that some people think they can behave
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-17 03:11 am (UTC)They *didn't* do to Clana what they did to Lexana and this is a completely different thing entirely. See, this is why I cannot stand people all together. This is why I don't even bother with the message boards, the myspaces, or even some of the forums, for shit like this.
*hugs*
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 07:38 am (UTC)This show has more than just Clana fans. Lex and Lana fans have been very patient to even wait for Lex and Lana be together. This relationship has been reduced to nothing more than a FOTW plot with Lex Luthor as FOTW (and a pathetic one at that). I want the Lex Luthor back from the start of this season! He is gone and replaced by only a shadow of himself.
The creators basically gave us a 'We don't give a damn what you think' to us Lex and Lana fans.
As for Lana, I really don't care that much any more. I don't even get what she is even around, but to totally destroy Lex Luthor.
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 02:04 pm (UTC)And I'm not impressed with their excuses either on the network pushing things on them. You can't have the courage of your convictions when you're the highest rated show on the CW, and tell the network to back off? Of course they could have done that! I do sympathie when Steven DeKnight mentioned showrunners obscuring the path because obviously the Goughlar are his bosses, and he has to do what they they say. But Al and Miles have no testicles whatsoever to do this after they practically danced on Clana's grave last season, and how it was "over forever". Well even before that, after season 3 there was this interview in Dreamwatch:
"Clark and Lana just went from the couple that made you think God I hope they get together to the couple that left you asking yourself God, why are we still talking about them".
Al Gough, 2004
So I don't believe for a second that they wanted this. I think they just fall in line with whatever the network requests, and how can I care about a show like that. At least when Buffy and Angel frustrated me, I still had the sense of there being someone with an overall creative vision for the show. All SV has is network bosses thinking what will bring in the most advertising money
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-16 01:27 pm (UTC)Nope, she and Clark are both going to go right back to mooning at one another at the barn, and it's going to be victim Lana being caught in Clark's arms again. Lana kicking ass alongside Lex's side in Lockdown and Sneeze, well I guess that never happened.
Gosh it's nice to see that Superman's moral fibre was inherent in him right from the start.
He was also dreaming of stabbing Lex on the wedding day. Oh and saying that watchinghis ex getting married would be the worst day of his life, never mind that his father DIED last year, shouldn't that count as a worst day? Whatever

And more clana? STILL? After everything? Jeez, can't they get over that ship?
(no subject)
Date: 2007-03-18 03:16 pm (UTC)Then she plans to leave him standing in the alter, and come back to a note. A NOTE! She couldn't sit him down before the ceremony and gently talk to him how she was feeling, no she was going to fuck him over almost as bad as Lionel ever did. And that was after Lex gave Lana a speech in Hydro on fearing that no one would ever love him, and Lana gives his life hope and meaning *bursts into angry tears all over again*
There's absolutely no way I'm buying the season 6 DVDs now. I'm telling everyone I know not to bother watching Smallville season 6 when it starts airing in England. All they care about is the Clana fans. Just recently SDK is promising them cool Clana, Al Gough urges them to keep watching. And any Lexana questions we put to them (in Tv Guide and SDK's blog), we seriously may as well not bother for all the response we get. And now they have ruined their entire show for Clana.

yup :D
Date: 2007-03-18 12:02 am (UTC)after all, I am watching the clionel lj com as well.
I might plan to write a rec at the roundtable for this fanmix along with the fics by ladyoneill...but damn, I still have so many clex fics, that I promised to rec...grrr. never enough time :D

Date: 2007-04-01 04:47 pm (UTC)While I don't follow Smallville all that much, I can empathise. Fortunately, with my current fandoms, the only shipping going on that I don't care for has been all fanfic and not cannon... Even if I see something I don't like, I ignore it rather than be nasty and telling folks they're wrong or whatever. While I'm far from perfect, I do wish others would take this approach of "If you can't say something nice then say nothing."
