Smallville (2001)

Spirit - S4-E18

Stupidity: When Lois, possessed by Dawn, comes downstairs and says she's going to the prom and Clark is taking her, Clark doesn't think for a moment it could be Dawn. He already knows Dawn can posses others, those people don't act like themselves, Dawn is obsessed with the prom, Lois isn't acting like herself, and Lois is now not only suddenly prom obsessed for no reason, but wants to go with Clark when she said that would never happen.

Spirit - S4-E18

Stupidity: After the accident, Dawn is in spirit form on the road trying to wave down an oncoming car (driven by Martha Kent). Dawn doesn't know she's a spirit that can pass through objects at that point. Since Martha can't see her, she keeps driving straight towards Dawn. Dawn sees the vehicle isn't slowing down and instead of simply stepping out of the way to avoid getting hit, she turns her back, revealing to the audience that objects can pass through her now.

Trivia: When Dawn is looking through the yearbook, some of the names seen are people who worked on "Smallville." Mairzee Almas was one of the directors who would go on to direct Kreuk (Lana) in "Beauty and the Beast" and a few other DC shows. Assistant editor Anthony Ashley, assistant directors Jen Carpenter and Rob Duncan, costume designer Caroline Cranstoun, and location manager Michael Hauka. Many would also go on to work on other DC shows.

Gone - S4-E2

Trivia: The Daily Planet article about Lionel Luther being found guilty was reported by Perry White. When Perry was seen in season 3, he was a disgraced reporter, after Lionel got him fired, who worked as a tabloid reporter. He vowed to get sober and get his career on track at the end of the episode "Perry." He isn't physically seen again until the end of season 9.

Gone - S4-E2

Character mistake: When Chloe is rescued, and she sees Lois, she asks what's Lois is doing here. Lois says "putting the worst 2 months of my life behind me", indicating how long since Chloe supposedly died. But it had been three months at that point.

Delete - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Clark goes to Molly's and Lex is there, Lex asks if this is the disc Clark is looking for. Lex holds the disc up in one shot between his 1st and 2nd finger. In the next shot he's holding it between his thumb and 1st finger.

Audio problem: When one of the Ian doubles is talking to Lex, the other double is kicking Clark, but we don't hear any of the kicks, even though we hear them in other shots.

Shattered - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Lana being stepped on by the horse, her right arm is out by her side and her hair is covered with the wood shavings lining the stall. In the next shot of her, her right arm is up so that her right hand is by her head and her hair isn't covered with the shavings. Her arm is back out by her side in the next shot when Clark arrives.

Shattered - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Lex and Clark go to where Lex saw Morgan and it's a bunch of people sewing, Lex grabs a man's hand and puts it on the table. On the table is a piece of fabric that the hands are on, but in the close up shot, there is no fabric. It's back in the next shot.

Relic - S3-E6

Other mistake: In the flashback to 1961, "Splendor in the Grass" is playing at the Talon. However, the film was released in October of 1961 and Louise McCallum was killed in June of 1961. So the flashback would be set before the film was released.

Perry - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Perry arrives at the Kent's, and they start talking, Clark has his hands in his pockets. After being asked it he's a report, Perry starts to walk around and the shot changes and Clark no longer has his hands in his pockets and is then seen putting them in them.

Continuity mistake: When Anna is first teaching Albert to shoot, and he says he's going to shoot a full load, he cocks the hammer back. In the next shot, the gun isn't cocked, and he cocks the hammer back again.

Topsy Turvy - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When we see Alfred in the Batcave, he had 4 neat piles of playing cards and turns over an Ace. When Batman arrives, there's a shot of the cards, but the Ace is no longer turned over. When he makes the comment about seeing another playing card, the shot changes and there's now 5 piles but not in a neat pile.

Q & A - S1-E8

Character mistake: Artie says he'll recite pi to 100 decimal places. After the first few numbers, it skips to him finishing up by saying "46375." The last 5 digits would be "70679." In fact, the sequence "46375" doesn't occur until the 95,517th position.

Redux - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The "Go Crows" sign Lana is working on changes depending on the camera angle. From the front you can see the! at the end. In the close up shot of the sign, the! is now gone. When Lana underlines "crows" it's back but the writing is slightly different.

Nocturne - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When Lionel is playing the piano while talking to Lex, you see inside the piano and none of the dampers are moving for the notes he's playing, revealing he's not really playing or even hitting the keys.

Nocturne - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Lex has the envelope and pulls it away from Lana as she grabs for it, the flap is opened, so the wax seal is on top. In the next shot the flap is folded down.

Red - S2-E4

Factual error: When Palmer is looking at the phone log, the wrong area codes are shown. Most of the list consist of the city of Topeka, with Wichita and Kansas City also seen, with a "206" area code. "206" serves the Seattle Washington area. The other area code seen is "620", which is a Kansas area code, but Topeka is in the "785" area code.
