Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When the Phantom child kills the doctor and drags him over to the fingerprint scanner to open the door, we see the doctor has no glove on his hand when it is placed on the scanner. But when his arm drops to the floor, there is a glove on his hand now. (02:32:35)

Phantom - S6-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When Lex is driving out of the dam and the police arrive, Lex exits his car and two crew members heads are reflected in the glass window of his door. (02:35:30)

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: Shortly after their cell phone conversation, Lionel sees Lana and gets out of his car. In the next shots of Lionel, his car has moved position from behind him.

Bizarro - S7-E1

Audio problem: When Clark and Manhunter are in his Barn talking about how to stop Bizarro and figuring out the yellow sun can heal Clark, there is a beep of a watch or someting similar in the background, but neither Clark nor the Manhunter react to it, which means it happened off screen and unintentionally.

Kara - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kara and Clark get off the elevator, there's no-one around them as they're walking away. In the next shot of Kara and the elevator, 3 people have suddenly gathered to look at the broken elevator. The elevator was off camera for less than 2 seconds, not enough time for 3 different people to get into the position they're in when they weren't close by to begin with.

Bishop73

Cure - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Clark and Knox fight, Knox smashes his blue container with his weapon. Shortly after this, there is a shot where he is looking in horror at what he'd done and behind him, Chloe is struggling with her ankle cuffs. She appears to be wearing shoes in this frame, whereas before and after, she is barefoot.

Action - S7-E5

Audio problem: Near the end, when Clark is surprised by the woman coming to say good bye, as he is working on the tractor the distinct sound effect heard is that of a ratchet wrench, but what he puts down is a normal wrench, not a ratchet wrench.

Blue - S7-E8

Revealing mistake: When Clark has the Kryptonite and uses it against Zor-El in the fortress, Zor-El climbs upon a flat surface or hard ice for support. As he gets onto the surface, it shakes like a soft prop. (00:30:20)

Persona - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: Season 7, episode "Persona". When Lana walks in from the balcony her hair swaps from being in front of her shoulder to behind it, then back again. Then when she sees Bizzaro's face in the reflection of the glass, her hair is styled differently again.

Persona - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Lana comes in with her brown bag of groceries, she puts the vegetables and wine bottle on the counter. During the rest of the scene these items move their positions a few times.

Persona - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Phantom Clark finds Lana on the balcony with her phone pressed against her ear, she lowers the phone down to her waist twice between shots.

Traveler - S7-E14

Continuity mistake: When Lex starts learning about Veritas he sees the symbol on his office window, but that was never there in all the 6 previous seasons.

Season 8 generally

Plot hole: Though it fits the general plot of Davis always being first on scene, in the real world no on-duty paramedic drives the ambulance alone. There will always be a minimum of two EMTs per ambulance, one to drive and one to tend the patient. The only time a paramedic or other EMT will be alone is if they arrived on the scene in their own vehicle.

Plastique - S8-E2

Other mistake: After Clark enters the phone booth, he begins to change out of his red shirt. The phone booth is mostly frosted glass, but it is possible to make out that Clark only becomes bare-chested before the next shot when he comes out of the phone booth with the blue shirt on. (00:02:14)

Plastique - S8-E2

Continuity mistake: When Clark exits the phone booth wearing his blue shirt, only the neck button is unbuttoned in the wide shot. Immediately in the next close-up shot, two buttons are undone. Then in the next shot of Clark's front side, the shirt is back to only the neck button being undone. (00:02:27)

Infamous - S8-E15

Character mistake: When Davis sees Lois' article about Clark, the second column contains a grammatical error; in her description of his upbringing with Jonathan and Martha, the possessive "Kent's" should be the plural "Kents."

Cubs Fan

Turbulence - S8-E16

Other mistake: In the article about the plane crash, the last paragraph starts to repeat the same sentence. After is says Mercer took over the operation, it repeats that she started in collaboration with Lex.

Bishop73

Fortune - S10-E15

Continuity mistake: During a fight, the thug rips off the bra that Oliver Queen is wearing, rendering him bare-chested. The following shot, taken from a different angle (from the back), shows Oliver still wearing the bra whilst punching said thug.

More quotes from Smallville

Hero - S7-E13

Trivia: When Clark confronts the Flash in his hotel room, he reads off the fake IDs Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West. Those are the secret identities of the first three men to be called the Flash in the comics. Also, this Flash says his name is Bart, like Bart Allen, the teen hero formerly known as Impulse and currently being called "Kid Flash." (00:10:35)

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
