Continuity mistake: As Lana says "I was thinking the same thing but we don't seem to be very good at it." there is a camera change as she says "but". Before the change she only has the red cup on the tray but after the change, even though she didn't pick it up, she has a red and a yellow cup on the tray.

Continuity mistake: During the flashback that happens at the Luthor mansion, the one that starts with the cup shattering on the floor, young Lex is shown peeking through a slightly cracked open door. Just after Lionel asks the nanny to give him Julian there is a shot of Lex peeking in and you can see that he has hair on his forehead. Now Lex, at this point, would have been bald, as a result of the meteor shower in Smallville for several years and would have no hair at all on his head in this flashback. In fact when Lionel finally realizes that Lex is outside the door we see that Lex has no hair on his head.
Suggested correction: Lex is bald but still has eyebrows. There's never a shot of young Lex with hair on his head. You never even see his head when he's peeking, but you do see the hair from his eyebrows.
Continuity mistake: As Clark is sitting in his barn's loft his mother enters while he watches a model of the solar system. In the shot when he turns it off the large red globe, which looks to be Jupiter, stops well to the right of the model's sun in this shot. When the shot returns to Clark, Jupiter is now partially in front of the sun. Clark had not moved his hand from the off switch so he didn't move the model by hand and the model would have taken longer to make another rotation to put in that position.

Continuity mistake: As Lionel says "Good morning, Miss Sullivan." there is a camera change from Chloe's left to her right. When the camera is on the left, her left arm is down.

Continuity mistake: Just before Lex has his father arrested they are talking while Lionel sits behind his desk. In the shot of Lionel from his side of the desk there is a flat panel monitor behind his keyboard. In shots from Lex's side of the desk the monitor is gone. It returns as FBI agent Loder walks in and Lex stands up.
Continuity mistake: When Lex tells Clark about Lionel finding the wire, Clark moves over to Lex and says that finding something incriminating on Lionel shouldn't be too difficult. Between shots, Lex and Clark's positions change in relation to each other.
Continuity mistake: While Clark and Pete are playing basketball, in the wide shot Clark and Pete, and the side of the barn where the hoop is, are in full sunlight. When the shot zooms in Clark and the barn are now in shadow.
Continuity mistake: After Lionel finds out about the wire that Lex has been wearing, he sits down and tells Lex to get out. As Lex leaves, in the wide shot, Lionel drops his hands down to his lap.
