"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

It's been stated that it's a three-hour drive,

This is what drives me nuts. I mean, they've shown that Metropolis has docks, and is therfore on a coast, right? And they weren't river docks. So this means that Kansas is three hours away from a coast.

(Never mind that in the DCU it is theorized that Metropolis is in Delaware).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of meteor rock, it sure looked like that one "powered down" when it was knocked away from Duke boy.

but LAST WEEK, PEOPLE.

It took me several minutes to remember anything about last week - so yeah, you're right.

Last week I was at least semi-intrigued becuase I thought the voice mutant was so X-Men-y that I was trying to see if they dropped obvious clues to it - but yeah, all that traveling through Clark's inner ear canal made me nauseous.

So this means that Kansas is three hours away from a coast.

t sob

The sad, sad truth is that the closest actual coast line (ocean or gulf, not great lake) is a 16 HOUR drive (Louisiana) and a 22 HOUR drive to the nearest real beach (Padre Island). It is minus 11 degrees (w/wind chill) here and snowing. WHY DO I LIVE HERE????

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maybe there's a big space warp to the East Coast torn open by the meteor rocks, and everyone's so used to using it they don't even think about the inconsistency? (Hey, it makes as much sense as anything else on this show...)

Back to GG:

they had a UST-filled fight and reconciliation via high crime.

Oh, you must tell me more. I'm bored by Rory-in-college too, love Lane, and have a pathetic fondness for Luke/Lorelai UST. So. More please?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I think I liked the Lana / adam thing because Iactaully heard some one talking straight to Lana...Most things feel really fake on smallville because everyone is lying all the time. ( but it is family friendly !)

Art Crawl!!!

Luke/Lorelai kind of bore me too -- because they won't take a step forward.

It turns out that Luke is living with his ex -- in a townhouse but Lorelai (when they go to get his toolbox to clobber the churchbells) notices that basically Luke has not moved out and she calls him on it. They fight because Lorelai wants to know ALL and Luke doesn't even THINK to tell her he's moved.

It's a remora, dimwit.

I was a bit iffy about the Kents keeping kryptonite around the house when they know it could kill their son, but maybe it's like their board of education. When your son's Superman, there's not much you can do to discipline him, unless you try spanking him with a kryptonite paddle.

All is well that ends in pizza.

he wrote Lois Lane's name on them, right? Who knows that is Chloe's psuedonym?

Chloe has mentioned her "cousin" in Metropolis. Maybe her cousin is Lois Lane...
