Just so you know.

I don't like Lana.
I'm not too crazy about Pete either, except in fic.

Sigh. I just don't know what to say about all of this. I thought I was allowed to not like Lana Lang without being see as a hate monger along the likes of Hitler.

Where is SVMaria? I need some sanity.

You are not alone in your hatred. I can't stand Lana, though there were a few times I found myself almost liking Pete. Hell, at least he was (eventually) smart enough to get out of Smallville.

Most of the people on my flist don't care for Lana. And, despite a few eps where we got a glimpse of how awesome Lana could be if the writers weren't such chowderheads, I've never liked her either.

However, unlike the person who started this clusterfuck, I understand the distinction between the character of Lana Lang and the actress who plays her. And I don't think that referring to a *totally fictional character* as "squirrel-face" or "hamster" makes me eligible for membership in the KKK.

It would be really nice if certain people could refrain from hurling insults at everyone who happens to disagree with them.

I'm so out of touch with SV fandom, is there race wank about Lana now?

Roxy, Pete is very hot when you write him!

I can top that!

I dislike the character of Lana. She's hella badly written. That said, I don't mind KK and think she's gorgeous.

The character of Pete could have been all right, if the actor who played him hadn't sucked to high heaven. I cringed through all his scenes because they pretty much could have had a stagehand come on and read those lines and they would have sounded less wooden. Every time I think I don't hate Pete, I go back and see an episode from one of the earlier seasons and remember how unbearable the actor is.

Also:

I think both Chloe and Lionel should have died several seasons back, for plot reasons.

Tom Welling still ain't a great actor. And he still looks like a JCPenney mannequin to me.

Michael Rosenbaum's acting hasn't been too hot of late, either. I can't tell if he just can't act evil or he's just phoning it in.

However, none of the bad acting on the show held a candle to the actor who played Jonathan Kent. o.O Martha Kent really went sour her last season too, like she'd inherited the 'suck' mantle or something. Also, she wore waaaaaaaaaaay too much make-up. It made her look like a corpse.

Oh, and I think the actress who plays Supergirl is the ugliest female cast member by a significant margin. The dude who played Aquaman was the ugliest male. I think I'm racist against blonds.

I can't come up with any shallow complaints against Lois or Jimmy, though. Clearly, I fail. :(

I would totes start watching again if Lana would die, that would be AWESOME.

Also, Pete was cool! Before they made him the Official Product Pimper. Poor Pete. *pets him*

I can't stand the way they write Lana ... if they wrote her better than I might like her ... but there's also the fact that she makes those faces ... and then she's Hamsterina!!!

ROxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyy i keep e-mail you and i'm not sure if you're getting them **pouts**

Personally I can't take Lana Lang, not only is she badly written. But she whines a lot, and her presence seems to possess the ability to force those around to become whinier.

In every scene she either over acts or under acts, she sucks the life out of every episode she’s in, forcing it to become yet another instalment of the ever running LANA SHOW.

My main problem with Lana is that she’s such a one dimensional Barbie-like type character. She’s constantly being reinvented, and you can usually tell who she’s going to be for an episode by the clothes she wearing and the way hr hair is done….

*nods* I know this.
I don't like Pete. At all. Or Jonathan. 's ok.

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

i hate what the show did with the lana character, making her the center of every little thing. kristin's being part-asian has nothing in the world to do with that.

as others said above, i like pete when you write him! actually, i didn't dislike him on the show, but i didn't get far enough into my dvds to see the part where he skipped town.

Okay, what did I miss???

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I got a bit confused because, to the best of my knowledge, people never called Lana a squirrel because of KK's facial features. It was the way that KK used to screw up her face when acting, and people saw it as making funny squirrelly faces. I never saw it as having anything to do with how KK's features are set out though, just the way that KK acted back in seasons 1-3

I don't even dislike Lana any more, and I never have called her a squirrel, so I don't consider myself to be having a knee-jerk reaction to the suggestion that using the squirrel term might make you a racist. The arguments just hasn't yet convinced me that there's any connection. But then the name-calling has already began, so it's no longer an exchange of ideas (well if it ever was), it's one side being seen as blinded to the truth :/

lol, i could care less about them outside of your fics *g*

I'm not too crazy about Pete either, except in fic.

But he's so cute and compact next to Clark. And without him, we don't get the cute urban gems like "That's whack" or "man" a trillion times.

I don't like anyone who's mean to Lex. Of course, by now, that's pretty much everyone....

[phoenix-run.livejournal.com]

I'm half asian myself, my mom was Korean so I don't dislike the character of Lana for any racial reason. I just don't like her because she acts like a holier then thou twit.
I just went off on a tangen on mskatej's journal and don't want to repeat it all but. But I mean really the girl seriously believes that there are rules for her, which really don't exist and rules for everyone else which do.
I mean ... ugh.

I'm shocked. Shocked and surprised.



Not really. :)
