in a world with meteor freaks, crystals making time travel possible, it just seems like getting the distance down between Metropolis and Smallville should be doable.
Start from the beginning though. This was the first time I have seen a story with Metropolis and Smallville being so close together. I figured it was artistic license, since they want to include some Met references. First few seasons when they would talk about going to Met on the weekend or for a few days, was very believable.
Now, though, they seem to make the trip back and forth *in the same day*. And the next scene, they're back, or it's the next day and they're in the other town again.
Personally I had thought that with Lana staying in Smallville (to start), and Clark able to get to Met easily, this would have been the time to extend the story to Chloe, Lois and Clark. But once Lana moved to Met, it easily could have included Lana also.
However, we see now that, so much action still happens in Smallville, that the other people who shouldn't be able to get around fast enough to make it believeble in the series, are the ones who end up coming to Smallville.
I do find it funny though, either due to the message forums or how a fan thinks..but somehow, everyone is constantly reminded and has established that
1) Metropolis is 3 hours driving away from Smallville.
2) Clark can superspeed there in 10 minutes prior to Season 5 (was that one-way or round trip?)
3) Now in S5, he can do it even faster
These are probably things the writers never intended to be so widely known :-)
