Clark is poisoned by a silver kryptonite splinter. When Clark is stabbed, the splinter is in his left index finger. Then, in the scene with Fine after class, (less than twenty minutes later,) Clark is seen rubbing his right index finger. See more...

Season: Whole show  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  9  All

Across whole show

From various dates, ages, and bits of information given, we know that, at least in the first episode, everyone (everyone being Clark, Chloe, Lana, Pete, etc) is 15 years old. Do the producers really expect us to believe that they're 15 years old? Clark's played by a 24 year old for one... [Yes. This practice is used all the time, and people are often surprised to find out that their favorite actors are older than they thought.]
Edit
In the Smallville T.V. Show, Clark knows he has a spaceship, however, in the old Superman Television show, "Lois And Clark: The Adventures Of Superman" Clark does not know that he had a spaceship and was shocked when he heard the news from his parents. [Any continuity errors between different shows shouldn't be regarded.]
Edit
In the episode entitled "Run, Season Four: Episode Five," Bart uses Kryptonite on Clark to make sure that he doesn't get followed. This would be impossible because earlier in the show Bart says that this is his very first trip to Smallville, therefore he shouldn't have known what Clark's weakness is. [Earlier in the episode, Bart stumbles upon a box containing the kryptonite in Clark's room. Bart opens it and notices Clark is weakening. When Bart asks him what's wrong, Clark tells him to close it because he's allergic to the rock.]
Edit
Jor-El's voice is provided by Terence Stamp, who played General Zod in "Superman II." [This is not interesting trivia by any stretch of the imagination, as Stamp's name appears in the credits and can easily be read. His appearance in Superman II is also well-known and does not need to be pointed out.]
Edit Corrected by Tailkinker
Kristen Kruek's last name is mis-spelled during the opening credits for every episode of the series. [Kristen Kreuk's last name is spelled Kreuk not Kruek.]
Edit
Season 9, episode 1 "Saviour": When Lois goes back to the train car she meets up with Davis Bloom. After learning she has been missing for three weeks she asks what day it is and he replies it's Friday the 25th. Lois also picks up a newspaper and the date reads Friday the 25th. The train accident happened the night before, the date should read Thursday the 24th. [When Lois goes back to the train car she meets up with "John Corben". Davis Bloom was already dead by this point in the show.]
Edit
In season 9 when Callum Blue is added to play Zod, it is quite obvious that he has a British accent. How could an Alien General have a British accent? [What kind of accent is he supposed to have? American? Australian?]

Tempest (1) (series 1)

As Jonathan reads the paper on the plant closing there is a nice up close shot of the front page. It reads "Management Problems Sited". That should be Cited, not sited. ["Dewey Defeats Truman." Newspaper headlines can have errors in them. It happens. Jay Leno has a whole bit devoted to it.]
Edit

Obscura (series 1)

Chloe has been put in a coffin and buried underground. However the ground above her is covered in grass. Chloe was not buried for no more than even a day. There should not be grass over her grave, and there is no signs of it being freshly dug. [It is possible to pull up the grass and its roots with the topsoil and replace it after a hole has been dug. Usually its done to keep your yard from looking bad until new grass can grow. In this case it was done to hide the grave.]
Edit Corrected by Phixius

Nicodemus (series 1)

Clark takes Lana to the top of a windmill, and they can see Metropolis in the distance. Kansas is a completely landlocked state, and Metropolis is established as a coastal city. [No, in the Smallville universe, Metropolis is a city in Kansas that is roughly three hours drive from Smallville.]
Edit

Kinetic (series 1)

Chloe discovers that the thieves are using kryptonite tattoos to accelerate their metabolism to hyperspeed, allowing them to reach through the space between atoms in solid objects. That's fine, but this acceleration wouldn't be consciously controlled. The thieves might be able to move through any solid objects, but they certainly wouldn't be able to pick anything up or wear clothes just because they wanted to. The metabolism shift would only affect their living cells, not adjacent nonliving ones. [Chloe doesn't "discover" this, she theorizes. Obviously, she was mistaken.]
Edit Corrected by JC Fernandez Time

Leech (series 1)

When Clark realises Eric might have aweakness to Kryptonite he goes to get a meteor rock. His mum says "it's not like we have them lying around" so he goes to get the one off Lana's necklace. This would be fine except at the beginning of the episode and throughout most if not all the others it is well established that there are always meteor rocks lying around on the ground, in the water, in fact pretty much anywhere you look. [Kryptonite may be plentiful, but it is not exactly everywhere, especially not on the farm, and it usually only turns up when Clark and Co. don't want it to. Besides, at the time Clark couldn't find it easily because his powers were gone and the kryptonite wouldn't affect him, so it was just faster to get Lana's necklace.]
Edit
In this episode, as Clark and his parents are first discussing his new weaknesses, the school bus stops directly in front of his farm. In every other episode, Clark, Pete, and Chloe have to walk together quite a distance to reach the bus stop where they all get on. [Not true- in the pilot you can see the bus stop outside Clark's house, then drive off.]
Edit Time

Shimmer (series 1)

Clark realizes that Amy stole Lex's watch when he sees her wearing it. He and Lex then search Amy's room with her mother and find the watch. Amy wears the watch as a token of her obsession and would not take it off lightly, even if she had returned home and left again. [This is your opinion on a character decision. We do not know why she took it off, but she did.]
Edit Corrected by wizard_of_gore Time
Updated this week Seth is using a cream made of green (i.e., kryptonite) roses to make himself invisible. At the beginning of the episode, Clark is in the locker room and feels ill from the kryptonite rose cream that Seth is wearing as he beats up the kid who picked on Amy. For the rest of the episode Clark does not feel the effects even though Seth is close enough to him at least two other times in the show. Once after Seth trashes Victoria's room and runs past Lex and Clark and again when Seth tries to drown Victoria in the tub. [Both of those times he passed by him either very quickly or not close enough for any reaction to occur.]

X-Ray (series 1)

Clark's x-ray vision reveals that the cemetery is rather oddly set up. There are a dozen headstones visible but only four buried coffins, and three of them don't line up with any headstone. Two of the coffins contain complete skeletons, but the other two are either empty or lead. While the occupants could have decomposed entirely, they are directly next to the younger corpses; usually cemeteries fill in one area and then proceed to another, segregating graves by age. [Cemetaries SELL plots a section at the time, but they don't fill them till the people that buy them actually get around to dying so you will frequently have series of graves belonging to the same family that only have one or two graves "occupied" but may have headstones (with no death date) for some or all of the empty ones.]
Edit Time
Lana says the theme of her mother's prom was Saturday Night Fever, but she was in the class of 1977 and the movie didn't come out until December of that year. [So? People often know about movies many months before they come out.]
Edit

Hothead (series 1)

The Coach is setting all these fires off completely gutting various departments of the school. Does nobody investigate into these like police or fire accident investigators. When Clark gets his firing-heat-from-the-eye talent later on in season 2 the cops are all over him and those fires were relatively minor in comparison... [It's possible that the police did investigate the inexplicable fires the coach caused & couldn't find a reason, so they decided to keep a eye on the school for any other mysterious fires incase of acts of arson.]
Edit
At the beginning of the episode, Whitney says that Coach Walt's next game will be his two hundredth win. Later, while talking to the principal, Walt says that he has "been leading this team to victory for twenty-five years." Two hundred wins in twenty-five years is only eight wins per year, not really an impressive record. [Eight wins per year would be a winning season every year for 25 years since most high schools only play 10 to 12 games per year. I think that's impressive.]
Edit Time

Metamorphosis (series 1)

Clark goes to Lana's house to give her back the meteor rock necklace. As he is starting to put the necklace on the door knob. Lana calls for Whitney and you hear the "whoosh" of Clark using his super-speed to get away from the door. Kryptonite weakens Clark's powers so he should not have been able to speed away with the exposed necklace right in front of him. [He took a few normal steps back to get out of range and then he super speeds off.]
