Smallville

Zero - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: The lime slices on the side of Lex's and Amanda's drinks, in Club Zero, change position between shots.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Chloe is first asking Pete and Clark the questions for her poll you can see that the top page on her clipboard is yellow. Then she shows it to Lana and the camera gives you a nice big shot of the front piece of paper and it is white. When Chloe says "its unleashing the inner Lana." the front of the clipboard is shown again and now the paper is yellow.

Shimmer - S1-E10

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.

Leech - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Clark is in hospital after being thrown to land on the roof of the car his mum is helping him put a shirt on. He puts it over his right shoulder and the shot changes, his arm is all of a sudden in the sleeve.

Reaper - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Tyler turns Mrs. Sykes into ash she is laying down with her head on a pillow. This is where the dust collects. As Chloe and Clark check out what happened, the ash on the bed now shows that her head was on the bed and not the pillow as it was before.

Hug - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Clark pushes Kyle (after he's about to hit Whitney) he goes flying into his trailer door and we can see a large dent. In later scenes (when Clark & Chloe visit Kyle at his trailer home) the door has no dent.

Jitters - S1-E8

Audio problem: When Pete is stammering to the Kents about Clark returning to the plant, his lips don't match the sound, especially toward the end. (00:33:30)

Phoenix

Cool - S1-E5

Audio problem: Sean drops frozen Jenna and she shatters. He then manages to casually walk out of the room over her without crunching any of the ice. (00:17:30)

Phoenix

Crush - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: As Justin turns the spike end of the pathway light towards Principal Kwan, in the close up, the light is at a height that is just lined up with the light in front of it. After the shot change, the shot simply zooms out to include Justin on the right side of the screen, the light is now several feet higher than it was before.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Lana and Clark are sitting on the Windmill and the camera is facing them close up you can see the shadow of the windmill moving in the wind but when the camera zooms out the windmill is not moving at all.

Hourglass - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Henry falls into the pond, the first time, there are several small pylons connected by a chain when the camera is on the walkway. When the camera is in the water, showing Henry as he hits the water, neither the pylons or the chain is visible. There is just an open space where the chair falls over.

Reaper - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Clark and Chloe visit the old lady's house, there is a white rose on the mantelpiece. At first it is facing off to the side, then it is suddenly facing outward when Clark notices it.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: While Lana is climbing the windmill, just before she stops a shot from below shows her right foot right above her left foot. The camera switches to above her and suddenly her left foot is a full rung above her right foot. (00:27:10)

Craving - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jodie hits the deer her vehicle spins out. As it is spinning the headlights are not projecting any kind of visible beam. After the car stops, and she is facing the deer she hit, the headlight is now projecting a very bright beam to illuminate the deer on the road.

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)

X-Ray - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: As Tina/Clark tries to run over Martha, there is a shot of Tina/Clark up close in the truck, and the gear shift is still in park.

Hug - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: While Chloe and Clark are on the horses, and Chloe is talking about the surveyors from Rickman Industries, when the shot is on Chloe's side, Clark is holding his reins in his right hand which is resting on top of his left. When the shot switches to Clark's side, as Chloe continues the story, and now Clark's right hand is under his left.

Shimmer - S1-E10

Lana Lang: That's the thing about Clark Kent. He's not always there when you want him... But he's always there when you need him.

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.

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.
