Smallville

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: After Dante says "...if you want to turn that tortoise into a hare just give me a call." he walks off and the shot follows him as he walks all the way over to a black car and starts to work on it. The shot returns to Clark and Pete and Dante is shown walking away again on the left side of the screen.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: At the start of the final race there is a bridge at the far end of the road that Pete and Jason are going to race to. During the entire race they never pass this bridge yet it ends up behind Jason's car when Pete looks in his rearview mirror as the crash is going on.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: As the two racers speed past Clark and Martha, in the truck at the intersection, Pete's red car does not have its neon lights on in the back window and under the rear spoiler. Then in the next shot, while still racing, both the blue neon lights in the back window and the green neon under the rear spoiler are on.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: As the car that Jason was in comes to a stop after the crash you can see Pete's red car is nowhere near the wreckage of Jason's car. In the next shot Pete's car is shown rolling forward to a stop, meaning he hadn't backed up but was still going forward and stopped where he was, but now Pete is only 30-40 feet from the wreck of Jason's car.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Jonathan comes home from the hospital the length of rolled up sleeve on Jonathan's left arm changes between shots. As Jonathan says "Low sodium turkey?" the sleeve is down to just about touch the watch he is wearing. When the camera jumps to Jonathan's left side, as Martha turns around, the sleeve is now several inches higher and further from his watch than it was before. Jonathan does nothing to his sleeve between shots.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: In Pete's rearview mirror there is only a couple of hundred feet between Jason's car, which is in the process of crashing at the time, and the bridge. In the next shot of Jason's car almost a mile away from the bridge. Drastically different distances.

Trespass - S6-E14

Martha Kent: Clark? What are you still doing out here?
Clark Kent: Well, I'm still doing my chores.
Martha Kent: Well, you usually finish those in about two minutes. How is it that I drove to Metropolis, attended the Children's Foundation dinner, and made it back before you finished?
Clark Kent: Because I'm doing them the normal way.

Trivia: Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of the Clark Kent/Superman character worked on a school magazine when he was at Glenville High School, Cleveland. The magazine was called The Torch - the same name of Smallville High's school magazine, edited by Chloe Sullivan and with Clark Kent as an on/off contributor.

Answer: In the comics, Krypto is a dog from Krypton who was used as the passenger in a test launch by Jor-El, Superman's father, before he launched the actual rocket taking his infant son to Earth. Krypto's capsule was involved in a mishap, sending it out of Kryptonian orbit and eventually found its way to Earth where he linked up with the young Clark Kent. Like any native of Krypton, Krypto has superpowers on Earth. In Smallville, the dog is a standard Earth dog who has been experimentally injected with kryptonite, giving him super-strength for a limited period of time, who escapes and links up with Clark (who suggests the name Krypto, ostensibly because of the dog's cryptic origins). It doesn't take too long for the dog's strength to fade, and the Kents decide to keep him, although they ultimately name him Shelby, after a dog that Martha Kent had in childhood.
