5 suggested corrections in season 4

(3 votes)

Unsafe - S4-E11

Factual error: Alicia gives Clark the necklace with red kryptonite and this causes him to break Alicia's bracelet a few shots later. She then is able to teleport once it is removed. Now, according to the story, that bracelet prevents her from teleporting by releasing 'trace' amounts of lead into her bloodstream. If that were the case she would have to wait until the trace amounts were cleared from her system to start teleporting again.

Suggested correction: The way her powers work is unknown. Her body may be able to quickly remove trace amounts of lead from her body, which is why she would need to constantly have trace amounts put into her bloodstream.

Spirit - S4-E18

Revealing mistake: After everything with Dawn is over Clark goes back to the prom. Clark asks Lois if she wants to dance. Lois says "I'm not the one you want to dance with." and she nods to the door. The shot switches to show Lana walking in to the prom. When Lois makes her nod to the door Lana would have been completely out of sight. Lois nods before Lana even enters the room.

Suggested correction: We never see Lana walking into the gym. She's just standing at the door, nervous about going in. We don't know how long she was standing there. Not to mention the fact that the scene of Lana at the door could have happened at the time Lois was making her comment and Lana walked in before the first time we see Lois look at the door, before she nods.

Suggested correction: The guys aren't thrown against a brick wall. They're thrown against the side of an old wood shingled shed.

Facade - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When the mirror falls on Lana and shatters on her, you can see that there are bleeding cuts on the left side of her face. However, for the rest of the episode, there are no cuts on the left side of the face (where they should be) but there are cuts on the right side of her face.

Suggested correction: When the mirror falls, we only see her left side. But in the hospital you can plainly see both cheeks were cut up, the right one a bit more. Throughout the episode though, the cuts on the left side never disappear and there just seems to be more shots of her right side when she's out of the hospital.

Krypto - S4-E14

Factual error: Clark huddles over Krypto to protect him from the blast of the exploding van. He does not cover Krypto's head before the blast of fire hits them yet Krypto shows no sign of damage. At the very least the fire should have singed his fur.

Suggested correction: There's nothing to suggest a dog with super powers would get singed from the blast. He's already been seen jumping through fire and Clark carried him through the fire again with no fur being singed.

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.

Question: Throughout the series, people mutate fairly soon after their exposure to kryptonite. Is it ever explained how Lana has managed to wear a piece of kryptonite around her neck for 12 years and not change?

Answer: The kryptonite only creates mutations when it reacts with the environment and an individual. Remember, the FDA and several environmental groups did check out Smallville after the meteor shower, but found no danger in the rocks. Obviously they're not always emitting mutating rays, or all the flora and fauna of the surrounding area would be horribly mutated.
