I don't think anyone's mentioned this, but is it just me or is Smallville closer to Metropolis than it has been in previous seasons? It used to be 3 hours away and now it's like it's just a suburb of Metropolis. Yes, the distance has always been distorted (like you get injured in Metropolis and the best hospital to take you at for some reason is Smallville Medical Center) and I never understood why Chloe stayed at the Talon when she worked in Metropolis at the Planet, but now it just seems like a twenty minute drive outside of town. I mean, in one night Chloe drove from Smallville to Metropolis and back to Smallville again like it was no big deal to spend over 8 hours driving.
Also, in one scene at the Talon apartment, Bette says, "I'm leaving Metropolis." Umm...you already did leave Metropolis, you're three hours away in Smallville, I think you're good.
I know I'm being over-analytical about it, but it bugged me for some reason. Personally, I think that the producers aren't ready to give up the Talon set just yet, and that's why Chloe is still living in the Luthor-owned building even though it makes commuting a biznitch. I guess I should just be glad they finally decided to make a Metropolis General to at least alleviate that portion of the distance confusion.
