Smallville

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Seth drops the spoon he was trying to control it drops into the portion of his tray that holds his jello cup. As Clark and Lana walk in the spoon is now in the part that holds the bread crusts.

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Seth is testing his powers in the hospital room he tries to move a cart at the foot of his bed. To do this he has to raise his hand to use the magnetic power he has. In shots from the front his right hand is palm down using his power but when the shot switches to behind Seth, to show the cart starting to move, his palm is now turned towards his left. His hand is back to being palm down when the shot switches back to the front.

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: As Lana is walking up the stairs to Clark's barn loft, from the front shot Clark has his hands to his side. When the camera jumps to behind Clark, watching Lana ascend the stairs as she says "I, uh, came by to say thank you." now Clark's right hand is behind his back and not to his side.

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Martha is putting together a flower arrangement. When Jonathan is talking about Clark not eating the last piece of cherry pie, in a shot of Martha and Jonathan, Martha is picking up a branch of white flowers and holding it in front of her. When the shot switches to Clark, you can see her putting this same branch of white flowers in the vase even though she made no motion to do so in the previous shot. This is supposed to be continuous since you can hear Jonathan talking between the shots.

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.

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: As Lana gets ready to throw the first ball there is a kid in a red, black and white shirt in the background and he is walking away from the scene. Just after she throws the ball the very same kid is calmly walking behind her again.

Magnetic - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Seth fires at Clark and Clark dives behind a ride car to dodge the bullets. As Clark stands up he brushes the impacted bullets off of his shoulder. Seth says "Looks like I'm not the only one with special powers." before he turns to use his powers to pick up a ride car that is behind him. As Seth starts to get the car in the air, in the background you can see Clark is only just standing up and brushing his shoulder off again.

Suggested correction: You see a person walk behind her in a corridor. Since it is very obvious and occurs during a short cut where nothing else is happening, it is deliberate. A fundamental rule on film sets is that once "action" is called, no-one moves if they don't have to. If a crew member had walked through the shot like that, they would have done a new take or just use a different segment of the shot.

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.
