Audio problem: After he breaks the methane valve, Earl runs to the security camera and whispers, "You see what you made me do?" His whisper is heard at the proper volume by the Luthors watching the camera, but the speakerphone is on the desk ten feet behind Earl, making this impossible. Most surveillance cameras don't have microphones. (00:28:55)
Audio problem: After Clark's parents come home, after their anniversary dinner, Jonathan and Clark go to see Earl in the hospital. As the Doctor says "It looks like he's got some sort of mineral poisoning, but its not from any mineral I've seen before." For the first few words of that line her mouth does not match up to what is being said but the dialogue, and her mouth slowly come together at the end of the line.
Revealing mistake: At the command center outside Martha is watching a monitor with the hostages on it and she asks "Where's Clark?". The next shot is one of Clark running down a hallway, inside the plant, using his super-speed. As he is running the red lights along the ceiling are revolving faster than they normally do and return to normal once Clark stops using super-speed.
Revealing mistake: The Smallville Torch that Clark looks at online is the exact same one last seen by Lex two episodes ago in "Craving." This wouldn't be a problem, but Clark remarks that this Torch is "another scathing editorial," indicating that it is new, and Principal Kwan complains that parents have been calling all morning, which means that this issue of the Torch was published either this day or the day before. Prop department must have been saving money. (00:08:40)
Continuity mistake: At the coffee shop when he intercepts Lex, Phelan suddenly acquires a cup of coffee from nowhere. (00:10:00)
Revealing mistake: In "Rogue," just after Jonathan has been arrested, Clark walks into the house and punches a wooden beam. If you look closely, you can see the crack in it where it has already been broken. (00:26:35)
Continuity mistake: When Amy is introduced, she is writing about two lines down from the top of the page in her journal. After Troy snatches it, the writing runs about halfway down the page. (00:00:35)
Continuity mistake: As Victoria is being drowned in the bathtub, she appears very deep in underwater shots and only a few inches down in overhead shots. (00:26:00)
Revealing mistake: Once Victoria has drawn her bath, we see her get in, and then lean back into the water. However she is already wet on her chest and her hair is damp already. This is probably due to previous takes of the same scene.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Seth picks up the barbell to beat Troy with, Troy is at the end of the locker room with the showers. As Pete and Clark show up, Troy is at the other end of the locker room.
Continuity mistake: When Jonathan is sitting down, before he tells Clark that he can't always be honest, in the shot from the other side of the table Jonathan is holding a book in his right hand as he is sitting down. When the shot switches to Clark's right, Jonathan is still starting to sit but now the book is in his left hand.
Continuity mistake: When Kyle first confronts Rickman in his office and challenges him to a handshake, Rickman looks away. In the next shot on Kyle, Rickman is looking at him again. (00:13:20)
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.
