Zod - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: When Zod/Lex pierces Lana's hand, he pierces it at the same level as Lana's head. But in the camera angle immediately following, Lana's head slide downs the wall and draws level with her hand. (00:20:05)

Zod - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: While Clark and Zod/Lex are fighting in the field, the blood on Clark's right cheek changes throughout the scene, from disappearing, to smudging, to thick blots. (00:30:00)

Zod - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene between Martha and Clark near the end of the episode, the cut on Martha's forehead switches from above her right eyebrow to her left, and then back again. (00:37:40)

Sneeze - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Clark blows out the barn doors, they go out at a fairly low angle to the ground. But when they come down next to Lois they drop down straight out of the sky.

Suggested correction: The pieces of the barn and door blown off are on screen for a second or less and don't travel far enough on screen for you to predict their trajectory. They could have easily been moving upwards without being able to tell. The barn door travelled far enough that it would have risen higher into the air.

Sneeze - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When the barn door nearly hits Lois she is just jogging alongside a clear fence. But when she and Chloe investigate it later, there's a large gate there which was nowhere to be seen beforehand.

Arrow - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: After Lois pins the sketch of the Green Arrow, the pushpin changes position. In some shots, it's across the top of the paper and in others it's in between the top of the sketch and top of the paper.

Trespass - S6-E14

Noir - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: Lana was found shot in her upper left shoulder but at the end of the show she has a sling on her right arm. (00:42:00 - 00:43:05)

Noir - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Jimmy find Lana shot in the elevator, there is a gun on the floor beside her, with a small pool of blood beside in the gun. In the next closeup shot on the floor, the small pool of blood is gone. (00:42:00)

Noir - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: When Lana hands the gun to Jimmy, she hands it to him aimed away from her. When Jimmy takes it, it is aimed towards her. (00:59:00)

Noir - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, we see that the clock reads 2 o'clock. Jimmy then takes Chloe into the back room to his set-up movie date. A little into the scene, they then hear a gunshot. When they rush out, the clock now reads 4:15. However Chloe and Jimmy were not in the back room for this long. At 4:15 they find Lana shot, and call 911. Then after the credits, we return to the scene, but now the police have arrived. But now the clock reads 2:15. There is no way the police would have taken so long, that the clock would have jumped all the way around from 4:15 to 2:15, therefore the continuity on this clock is mixed up.

Prototype - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Lionel is watching the video and drawing Kryptonian symbols, some of the symbols change in between shots. For example, when he draws "minion" one of the dots is touching the square. When he writes the word, everything is nice and neat and the dots aren't touching anything.

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When Clark looks at Phillipe's police report, there is a photo of Phillipe facing sideways. In the next shot the photo has changed, so that now he is facing forward. (02:21:10)

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When Lois attack the guard down in the dam, she hits his face, which causes the black cap that the guard is wearing to begin to fall off. Yet in the next shot the hat is firmly back on his head, before it is completely knocked off by Lois' next hit. (02:23:00)

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When Chloe finds Lois stabbed in the dam, we see Lois on the floor with her arm hanging so that her hand is right beside the stab wound. However in the next close up of the wound, her hand isn't there. It's back beside it in the next shot. (02:28:20)

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When the Phantom child kills the doctor and drags him over to the fingerprint scanner to open the door, we see the doctor has no glove on his hand when it is placed on the scanner. But when his arm drops to the floor, there is a glove on his hand now. (02:32:35)

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: Shortly after their cell phone conversation, Lionel sees Lana and gets out of his car. In the next shots of Lionel, his car has moved position from behind him.

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.

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.
