Smallville

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Chloe puts the photo of Dr. Hamilton on his desk she puts it on a book next to his arm. After the shot changes he is shown picking up the photo but now it is half resting on his arm.

Asylum - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: As Clark stands outside the room where Lex has just got his shock treatment the blood on his cheek is back even though his cheek wound was healed and he wiped any residual blood off in the previous scene at the power generator.

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: After Clark says "I'm not leaving." Jonathan starts to talk about the list of things Martha needed to get done. As Jonathan says this there is a camera switch. Before the switch Clark is next to the window turned toward his dad. After the switch Clark is now standing further back from the window behind Jonathan's right shoulder.

Shimmer - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the coffee shop when Chloe volunteers for blood donation, there is a shot on Clark as Lana walks away where we see Chloe's head turn. When the camera comes back to her she is sitting exactly as before. (00:05:20)

Phoenix

Cool - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: As Sean sucks electricity at the power station, his arms are bent in the first shot and fully extended in the next. (00:31:25)

Phoenix

Perry - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Just before Clark gets the call from Lana we see inside the trunk of Pete's car. At this point there is a coiled rope in the trunk turned parallel to the rear of the car. When Pete gets the rope for Clark a little later the rope is turned perpendicular to the rear of the car.

Hothead - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: During Clark and Pete's exchange after the coach invites Clark onto the team, Pete's hand zips from at his side to raised to his shoulder in an angle change. (00:09:00)

Phoenix

Krypto - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: 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.

Krypto - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: 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.

Perry - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: As Perry and Clark talk for the last time in this episode the sunlight in the scene changes between shots. As they step out of the truck the sun is behind them as they walk towards the road where the bus is going to stop. When Perry turns to face Clark the sunlight, which should now be hitting Perry right in the face, is instead casting a bright orange light on the back of Perry's head.

Forsaken (1) - S3-E21

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.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: As Jor-El is first burning the mark on Clark's chest the mark moves to the upper right part of his chest. In the next shot, closer in on Clark, you can see the same area again but now there is no mark where there was one before.

Shimmer - S1-E10

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)

Phoenix

Hourglass - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: In the closeup when Zoe is introduced, the button just above her apron is buttoned. In the next shot of her walking through the cafe, it is unbuttoned. (00:07:35)

Phoenix

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The first time Seth tries levitating a spoon, he floats it a few inches towards him. When Lana enters and breaks his concentration, it falls back down almost exactly where it had been.

Suggested correction: Even though it's impossible to tell how much the spoon moves towards him, the spoon was in the middle of the jello, then lands in front of the jello, a few inches away from the middle.

Spell - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: While Clark is chained up, Chloe uses her fingernails to dig into Clark's chest. You can see that since Clark has had his powers taken away her fingernails draw blood. In the shot of Clark screaming in pain you should see where the blood came from the scratches but there is no blood visible.

Jinx - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: Chloe makes an $80 bet with Mxyzptlk at the beginning of the episode. When he pays her in the Torch office, he peels off seven 20-dollar bills for a total of $140 instead of the $160 it should be. (00:09:00)

Hidden - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When Gabriel shows up to help Chloe the shadow of his bike shows it to be about noon. According to the show it should only be between 6:30 to 7:30am.

Gone - S4-E2

Other mistake: Lois digs up Chloe's grave site to unearth her casket. It is obvious that the casket is not buried six feet deep. You would think, with all that is going on, that LuthorCorp would have at least buried the casket deeper to deter inquisitive eyes and maybe throw in a few scattered bones for good measure.

Trivia: Clark always wears blue and red clothes (or at least one of these colors). No surprise that when he got his Superman costume, he chose those same colors.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
