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.

Asylum - S3-E9

Visible crew/equipment: As Clark is ambushed inside Belle Reve, in shots focusing on Lex as he is being beaten by the twin and again a few seconds later, there is a dark object in the upper right corner of the shot. There is nothing in this scene to explain it and it moves with the camera so it is probably some piece of filming equipment. Regardless of what it is, it should not be in the shot.

Legacy - S3-E17

Visible crew/equipment: As the FBI search the Kent's house, you can see the shadow of the camera as it moves from the kitchen to the hallway next to the stairs. The shadow appears on the right side of the arch between the kitchen and hallway. (00:17:50)

Velocity - S3-E13

Visible crew/equipment: Safety bars are seen in the stunt car as it flips around and lands on the side of the road. The mechanism that is used to propel the car upward can also be seen.

Memoria - S3-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Prof. Joseph Willowbrook and Lionel Luther walk down the steps of a building, talking about the possible whereabouts of Jeremiah Holdsclaw, they begin to cross the courtyard, which is bathed in sunlight. As they walk across, and eventually walk under another building, as they cross the courtyard, you can see the shadow of a large reflector board moving along with them as they walk.

Talisman - S3-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Jeremiah has just stabbed Clarke in the barn, after he goes down the steps and the camera follows him walking away you see the back of one crew member's head and then a second crew member's, starting in the bottom right of the screen. Just before scene cuts to black you see the first crew member turn his head to the left. (00:26:46)

Trespass - S6-E14

Martha Kent: Clark? What are you still doing out here?
Clark Kent: Well, I'm still doing my chores.
Martha Kent: Well, you usually finish those in about two minutes. How is it that I drove to Metropolis, attended the Children's Foundation dinner, and made it back before you finished?
Clark Kent: Because I'm doing them the normal way.

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.
