Smallville

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: After Lex tells Martha that he'll do whatever he can to help Jonathan, she goes into Jonathan's hospital room. As she goes through the door, the blinds next to the door are closed. When the shot switches to show Clark standing at the other window, the blinds next to the door are open. Then, as Lex goes over to Clark, the blinds next to the door are closed again.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Jonathan shoots Clark with the shotgun, in the slow motion shot of Clark as he first starts to take the hit there is nothing coming out of the gun or on his chest. When the shot moves to Clark's left he now has red hot shot fragments on his chest.

Kinetic - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: After the encounter in the meat locker, Lex and Clark talk outside Fordman's store. As Lex turns to leave there is a truck driving down the street in Clark's direction. When the camera switches to Clark, the truck, which should be in this shot going behind Clark, is nowhere to be seen.

Truth - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: Lex whispers into his father's ear something about keeping secrets. At first the view is of him less than an inch away from his ear. In the next shot he's at least six inches away.

Jitters - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, as the mother tucks the blanket up to the child's neck, she changes from both hands on the infant to one hand on the crib. (00:01:55)

Phoenix

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Ian is dragging Lana towards the dam, his double can be seen in the background dragging Chloe. The double is on Chloe's right side pushing her. Cut to a close up as Chloe says "Ian you need help" but now the double is behind Chloe and is pulling her.

Devoted - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: In the CG shot of the shotgun shot flying in slow motion towards the camera, the blue florescent light that was swinging in the previous shots is gone.

Talisman - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: When Clark sees that Jeremiah is in the loft, Clark stands up and closes the book he was reading as he says "What are you doing here?". The very next shot from behind Clark shows that the book is back to being open.

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: Martha asks Clark to come out after he gets glasses. In the shot showing all three of them, Clark comes into view on the left side of the screen and is turned toward his parents. The very next shot shows he is just walking through the door of the optometrist and turned away from his parents as he closes the door.

Covenant (2) - S3-E22

Audio problem: After Clark tells Lex why he didn't tell him that Lex's father killed his parents Clark finishes his line by saying "...I couldn't live with that." The camera jumps to Clark's right and you can see he says "I couldn't live with that" again only no sound is heard.

Forsaken (1) - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: As Emily lies on the ground unconscious after being hit with the water, she is first shown lying there with her right arm bent up and her hand up by her head. After a quick shot of Clark she now has her right hand down by her side.

Bound - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: As Clark says "Eve Andrews was wearing two earrings when she died," during the line there is a camera change. Before the change Lionel has both arms on the table, but after the change he has one arm up examining the earring.

Lineage - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: As Jonathan and Martha drive away in the truck, we see Rachel for the very first time and she has both her hands in her coat pockets. Cut to a close up but now her hands are outside the coat pockets.

Cool - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Sean is in the nurses office, having his temperature taken, the light on his left side is on. After the nurse wants to retake the temperature the light is now off.

Shattered - S3-E8

Audio problem: Lana pours Lex a cup of chamomile tea from a Thermos, however the cap is still on the Thermos, despite the sound of liquid being poured. When Lana moves the Thermos, the red dot on top of the plastic cap can be seen.

Delete - S3-E11

Revealing mistake: The computer that Molly takes the hard drive from is shown as having no power cord plugged into the back of the unit. With no power being supplied to the unit the hard drive would not be displaying a picture on the monitor, the monitor itself maybe plugged up but no signal from the computer would be going to it, and we see that the wallpaper on the screen is immediately taken off when Molly unplugs the hard drive.

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: Joseph, Kyla and Clark are at the Talon, in the scene after Joseph is bailed out of jail. Martha comes in and walks over to the three of them. The next shot has her stopped next to Clark, with no forward movement to indicate she is still walking to him. In the shot after that she is still walking up to Clark.

Hug - S1-E11

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)

Rogue - S1-E9

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)

Hero - S7-E13

Trivia: When Clark confronts the Flash in his hotel room, he reads off the fake IDs Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West. Those are the secret identities of the first three men to be called the Flash in the comics. Also, this Flash says his name is Bart, like Bart Allen, the teen hero formerly known as Impulse and currently being called "Kid Flash." (00:10:35)

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.
