I wasn't impressed with Kate so insert any other actress ____________ here would do for me.

Durnance... because she looks like Lois. She looks like the Lois that would have had that stuff happen to her that happened in the movie and played it with more conviction.

Teri Hatcher.

Durance. Personally, niether of them stood out, but Durance is hot.

Kate Bosworth's portrayal of Lois Lane was bad. Very bad. I mean BAD. And not in the recently coined sense of "cool". I mean in the original, long-standing, reliable, Grade-A 100% sense of just plain not good.
I've never really watched Smallville, but from what I have seen of it, Durance's portrayal of Lois is far superior, especially if you consider that her version of Lois is supposed to be a smart mouthed teenager.

I really like them both. Durance is the little spitfire, free & wild, while Bostworth's Lois is a career woman who's been reigned in somewhat by the neccessities of remianing employed, but further by the requirements of motherhood. They're both quite good, just a "Before & After" of the same woman.

Teri Hatcher was the best looking Lois Lane, while Margot was the best Lois Lane, period.
Those other two aren't even a blip on the radar.

I'll take anybody over Bosworth, even Margot Kidder (and I hate Margot Kidder).
Teri Hatcher for the win though.

Durance isn't playing Lois Lane, so it's a moot point.
Yes, I am aware the character she "portrays" is referred to by other characters as "Lois Lane."
Anyway, it starts and stops with Dana Delany.

She portrays Lois Lane.

Smallville's Lois is way closer to how Lois should be than SR's.
Anyway, Dana is by FAR the best.

Shallow, annoying, shiftless, and expressing zero interest in journalism?

Let's see, Kate Bosworth is essentially an extension of Margot Kidder...so of the two I'd go with Erica Durance. Despite the fact that the only young woman I'd want to see Clark end up with on that show is Chloe. In fact, if they could arrange for Lana to die next season...
But I gotta go with Teri

I'd go with Durance over Bosworth, easily.
Dana Delany is awesome.
And the best live action Lois I've ever seen is Gwyneth Paltrow's Polly Perkins from Sky Captain.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I liked Kate Bosworth's Lois Lane. Erica Durance plays the classic Lois, but If Lois had a child, I'd expect her to be close to Bosworth's portrayal.

Because Chloe is Lois Lane. A pro-active journalist whose curiosity and drive to get a story often get her into trouble....
What they need to do is some crazy merging of Chloe and "Lois" so they can just start calling Alison Mack "Lois" like they should have from the start.

Best LOIS?

All heil to the Mack, hands down the best Lois in the history of entertainment, nobody else comes even close.

I like Erica Durance better. Kate Bosworth just didnt seem Lois enough to be Lois, if that makes any sense.

Does anyone else find her to be waaaaaay sexier than Kirsten or Erica?
I don't know what it is but damn Allison Mack is a sexy sexy woman!

This has be a Smallville internet theory for sometime now. People really want and believe that by series end Lois will be killed and Chloe will use her as a pen name and become the Lois, Clark marries.

Funny thing is she never really hit me that way.
Krewk has cornered the market on Cute Girls you Love to Hate and Durance owns all the stocks on Hot&Boobacious.
But if I were to choose a Smallville girl (and if Clark´s mom was out of the competition only due to age issues), then it´d be The Mack all the way.

Teri Hatcher is definitley my favorite Lois.
I agree Chloe is the "real" Lois on Smallville, at least in terms of how Lois should act, but I don't know if I buy a believable romance with her and Clark's Smallville character. She's Betty.

I knew Bosworth was a competent actress but I wasn't sure if she could do Lois right. I was amazed how good she nailed the role in SR.

That'd actually be cool if it happens.
But I doubt it will. Smallville doesn't do risky stuff with their characters on that level.

This is kind of liking asking which way do want to be anally raped - with a broomstick or a toilet plunger.

At first Kreuk was my favourite "hottie" on Smallville, but over time I realised she's just not worth the hassle for a gf. A fling, sure, but for a relationship Chloe all the way.
Haven't seen Erica's Lois in action yet so I'm undecided about her.

And the best live action Lois I've ever seen is Gwyneth Paltrow's Polly Perkins from Sky Captain.Seconded! Easily the best Golden Age Lois Lane.
And let's also pay homage to the first live-action Lois Lane, Rosalind Russell as Hildy Johnson in "His Girl Friday", the inspiration for Polly Perkins.

Indeed. With big boobs as well.

Bosworths' perfromance didn't bother me, though it was a mistake to cast her because she's just way too young for the part the way it was written. And I think she's not Lois, she's better looking than Durance, overall.
Patman

In about 6 years from now, no one is going to be complaining about Bosworth looking too young to play Lois after 2 sequels for SR. We'll probably be grateful then.
The way the characters were written, I liked the animated Lois voiced by Dana Delaney best.
Second would be Margot Kidder's movie Lois.
Third would be Erica Durance.
Kate Bosworth is a great actress, she just didn't have a lot to work with.
And, Chiasm, I'd have to go with a toilet plunger; they're smaller.

I've LOVED every Lois Lane except Margot Kidder, and she was decent. I'm surprised that no one much likes Bosworth. I'd take her over Durance and I like Durance. I never thought I'd see a more beautiful Lois than Teri Hatcher but I think Bosworth was and I never thought I'd say that when she was initially cast. But like many of you I agree the best Lois EVER is Allison Mack.

Yeah yet Allison sadly isn't Lois. But she has the spirit of Lois.
