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.

Bound - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: After Clark gives Chloe the piece of paper with the list of cars that checked into the hotel, Chloe holds the paper in front of a folded up newspaper. Between shots, the newspaper turns the direction it faces. Then in the next shot, Chloe is only holding the piece of paper, and the newspaper that she was holding behind it has now disappeared.

Bound - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: After Clark saves Lex from the ring of fire we see the area that was burned by the fire. The candle that Shannon used to light the alcohol is no longer on the floor. Since the candle was in the fire it should be partially melted and there would be some evidence of it.

Pariah - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: Alicia's hair keeps changing as Clark holds her in his arms. In some shots the hair on her right side is messy. When the shot switches to a close up, her hair becomes neatly combed and tucked behind her ear. All of this occurs after Clark burns the rope she was hanging by.

Recruit - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: As Clark and Geoff are driving, the first shot of the SUV as it comes around the corner shows the ground is wet and the wipers are going. During their conversation the windows are constantly being rained on. Geoff points to the stadium and they arrive a few minutes later and as they drive into the garage you can see the street is dry.

Recruit - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: After Lois and Clark find out that Cooper dies, and after Lois leaves, while Clark and Geoff talk about how Lois is trouble Geoff hair keeps going from neat to slightly messed up. When the camera is behind Clark, Geoff's hair is all shaggy on the left side of his face. When the camera is behind Geoff, his hair is fixed so that the loose strands are tucked behind his left ear. These changes repeat throughout the scene.

Krypto - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: After Lois hits the dog, she exits her car and runs to the dog. As she passes the back of the car, her tail lights are off. When she reaches the dog, her tail lights are on.

Krypto - S4-E14

Krypto - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: Clark goes to see Lex about the dog. Lex, who was about to start a game of pool, breaks a fresh rack. Lex then goes to make his second shot from near the side pocket and as he does you can see there are two striped balls near the rail close to Lex's cue stick. Just after he takes his shot those balls are gone even though those balls had not been hit.

Krypto - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: After Krypto comes around the fence we hear one of the two guys say "You got all the bags out of the truck, right?". The camera then pans over to the van and you can see, under the rear of the van, two gas containers. There is a metal one on the left and a plastic one on the right. Krypto starts to run for the truck and we see the containers again only now the metal one is on the right and the plastic one is on the left.

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.
