Recruit (season 4, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As Clark and Geoff are driving, the first shot of the SUV as it comes around the corner shows the ground is wet and the wipers are going. During their conversation the windows are constantly being rained on. Geoff points to the stadium and they arrive a few minutes later and as they drive into the garage you can see the street is dry.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Lois and Clark find out that Cooper dies, and after Lois leaves, while Clark and Geoff talk about how Lois is trouble Geoff hair keeps going from neat to slightly messed up. When the camera is behind Clark, Geoff's hair is all shaggy on the left side of his face. When the camera is behind Geoff, his hair is fixed so that the loose strands are tucked behind his left ear. These changes repeat throughout the scene.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Factual error: Clark finds Lois in the sewer and decides to use his heat vision to destroy the lock of the gate that is separating them. Clark uses his heat vision on the lock and the lock explodes, this is a very minor explosion. It also causes the door to fly off the hinges. Now the explosion from the lock is odd since heat vision causes things to melt and not explode, but Clark wasn't even using the heat vision on the hinges and they are destroyed. This is inconsistent with how his heat vision has been shown to work before.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Factual error: While Clark is standing on the field of at Metropolis University at the end of the episode the shot pulls back to show the entire field. As it does there are two 50 yard lines visible as if he were on a Canadian football field, but Metropolis University is in Kansas.

Edit

Krypto (season 4, episode 14)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Lois hits the dog, she exits her car and runs to the dog. As she passes the back of the car, her tail lights are off. When she reaches the dog, her tail lights are on.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Other: In episode 4-14: "Krypto," Genevieve tells Jason that the heirs of a 17th century woman named Gertrude are in danger. She then tells him that they themselves are "Gertrude's ancestors." But she must mean descendants, which means the opposite of ancestors.

Continuity: When Chloe pulls up to Clark's house there are patches of snow everywhere. While Clark hears the dog crash through the fence the fields are visible through the screen door and there is no snow on the ground at all.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: As Jonathan is being attacked by Hercules you can see that Jonathan, or his stunt double, has on a arm cuff that is used for protection of attack dogs.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: After Krypto comes around the fence we hear one of the two guys say "You got all the bags out of the truck, right?". The camera then pans over to the van and you can see, under the rear of the van, two gas containers. There is a metal one on the left and a plastic one on the right. Krypto starts to run for the truck and we see the containers again only now the metal one is on the right and the plastic one is on the left.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: While talking about what to name the dog there are several shots of the dog and the metal chain is gone. Then, right at the end of the scene, as the dog puts his paw over his nose, the chain is back.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When checking out the armored car robbery, Clark tells Lois to turn left. We then go to on out of car shot where the big red letters of the GMC that Lois is driving are visible. When the 4x4 skids to halt shot its GMC logo is covered in black tape.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Clark goes to see Lex about the dog. Lex, who was about to start a game of pool, breaks a fresh rack. Lex then goes to make his second shot from near the side pocket and as he does you can see there are two striped balls near the rail close to Lex's cue stick. Just after he takes his shot those balls are gone even though those balls had not been hit.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Plot hole: The vials of kryptonite steroids used on the dogs are in simple glass vials sitting on top of the dog cage. Clark gets into the back of the van to rescue Krypto but does not feel the effects of the kryptonite until the vials fall off of the cage and break open.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: As Krypto presses the button to open Hercules' cage you can hear the button beep as if it has been pressed but the green light is still on. Earlier the beep which means the button worked also turns off the green light.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Clark throws the two villains against the brick wall at the end, it very flexes as though made of foam rather than brick.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Factual error: Clark huddles over Krypto to protect him from the blast of the exploding van. He does not cover Krypto's head before the blast of fire hits them yet Krypto shows no sign of damage. At the very least the fire should have singed his fur.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Before Clark throws the two bad guys against the side of the barn there is no snow falling at this point. When the shot switches to Krypto saving Hercules you can see that now it is snowing rather heavily. This is far too fast to happen naturally.

Edit

Sacred (season 4, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The guide that was with Lana gets killed by soldiers. When the guide is shot you can hear that the weapon has a silencer on it. About a second later we see this still smoking gun has no silencer on it.

Edit

Lucy (season 4, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As Clark first gets to the bridge at Cherry Hill, the shadows establish the time as either early morning or early evening since the shadows are long. In several shots during this scene the sun suddenly jumps to around noon as the bridge shadow goes from sticking out far to one side to being almost directly under the bridge and the shadow of the semi shortens when Clark is making his super jump.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Plot hole: In episode 4-16: "Lucy," there is no reason for the criminals to be chasing Lucy on the ski slopes at the beginning of the episode. We learn later that she's been working with them all along; she calls Lois during the chase, and the call is part of Lucy's plan with the criminals. Lucy being chased by the criminals would make sense given the story she gives Clark during the next part of the episode, but it doesn't make sense for what we ultimately learn is the truth. And nobody from Smallville is anywhere near the ski chase, so it also doesn't make sense as any kind of a ruse.
