Zod - S6-E1

Trivia: Aaron Ashmore appears for the first time as Jimmy Olsen. Aaron's twin brother, Shawn Ashmore, played Eric Summers in season 1 (and again in season 3). Aaron appeared throughout season 6,7, and 8, until Jimmy's death. Aaron would later play Jimmy's younger brother at the end of season 10. Incidentally, it was Shawn who played the superhero Iceman (Bobby Drake) in the X-Men films.

Vessel - S5-E22

Audio problem: At the beginning, you hear the horses braying and the dog barking, but you can tell none of the animals are making those sounds. The sounds were added in afterwards.

Oracle - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: When Clark first looks at the baseball tickets, Milwaukee is circled in red on both tickets. In the next scene when Clark is lying them on the grave, Milwaukee is no longer circled.

Fade - S5-E20

Other mistake: The hitman's name is Graham Garrett. But at the end, the article written by Chloe lists his name as Christopher Boyer.

Bishop73

Fade - S5-E20

Character mistake: Chloe is looking at her digital wall of weird for anyone with camouflage abilities in the past and says there's no match. They act like this is a new power. However, in season 1, "Shimmer", Jeff Palmer had the ability to turn invisible because of a cream he made with kryptonite infused green roses. That should have popped up in her search. And even if it didn't, Chloe should remember the ability to turn invisible because she got the cream on her fingers, which turned invisible.

Void - S5-E17

Stupidity: Lance and Lana's actions at the end don't make sense, other than to set up conflict for the plot. Lance won't give Lana a shot. Lana steals a vile and after Lance injects Lex (to stop him, fine), he finds Lana, who is trying to inject herself. He stops her, throws her back, then proceeds to try and inject her. He could have just waited and let her do it herself, or taken the vile and left. Lana is then scared that Lance is about to inject her when that's what she wanted in the first place.

Void - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: When Lana goes to see Lance, who's packing up the serum, you see 5 syringes strapped in, 1 with serum in it. When Lance hits Lex and his case falls open, you can see the 5 syringes still strapped in, but now none have any serum in them. When Lance goes to pick up the case, only one syringe is strapped in, and it's in the wrong spot, next to some blood, and one syringe out of the strap lying in the open case.

Solitude - S5-E8

Other mistake: Lois' car has the plate number "AJH 927." This is the same plate number that Senator Jennings had on his car in a previous episode, "Exposed."

Bishop73

Exposed - S5-E6

Trivia: The name on the fake password for Lois Lane is "Margot Neill", a reference to Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the Superman film series of the 70's and 80's, and Noel Neill who played her in the film serials and the '50s television series.

Thirst - S5-E5

Trivia: This episode is a nod to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The episode was written by Steven DeKnight, who also wrote for and worked on the Buffy series and the spin-off "Angel." James Marster (who plays Milton Fine) starred in the Buffy series. The head vampire is name Buffy Sanders, a nod to Buffy Summers. We also learn that Buffy isn't the girl's real name but changed by Chloe in her story. At the end, Ms. Kahn says people don't want to read about "slaying Buffy the Vampire."

Bishop73

Hidden - S5-E3

Stupidity: When Clark is trying to sneak Lana out of the house, they walk past the front door in order to go through the kitchen door, where they get caught. It makes no sense to not use the front door. This way Lana is already outside, the whole goal in the first place, should his mom or dad see them. Not to mention the fact that Lana's car is still parked outside and Johnathan or Martha would have seen it, so they shouldn't be surprised to see her in the house.

Ageless - S4-E20

Trivia: The names of the students who RSVP'd to the party are names of people who worked on the show in some form, with the exception of the two characters in the episode, Karen and Tanner. Even the host of the party, Christina Verano, worked on the show.

In some movies/shows, a "bad guy" will visit someone in the hospital with the intent of killing them. One method is to smother them with a pillow until they die. Often their death is signified by us hearing the heart monitor beeping normally and then flatlining. But in reality, if someone was hooked up to hospital monitors, wouldn't other alarms go off as they struggle to breathe before they die? Wouldn't their heart-rate increase in the panic? Doesn't disconnecting monitors set off alarms?

Bishop73

Ageless - S4-E20

Trivia: When looking at Karen in the yearbook, the other person on the page is listed as Jacquie Gould. Gould is a Canadian director out of Vancouver, where a lot of the show was filmed. She's credited as first assistant director for one episode.

Spirit - S4-E18

Stupidity: When Lois, possessed by Dawn, comes downstairs and says she's going to the prom and Clark is taking her, Clark doesn't think for a moment it could be Dawn. He already knows Dawn can posses others, those people don't act like themselves, Dawn is obsessed with the prom, Lois isn't acting like herself, and Lois is now not only suddenly prom obsessed for no reason, but wants to go with Clark when she said that would never happen.

Bishop73

Spirit - S4-E18

Stupidity: After the accident, Dawn is in spirit form on the road trying to wave down an oncoming car (driven by Martha Kent). Dawn doesn't know she's a spirit that can pass through objects at that point. Since Martha can't see her, she keeps driving straight towards Dawn. Dawn sees the vehicle isn't slowing down and instead of simply stepping out of the way to avoid getting hit, she turns her back, revealing to the audience that objects can pass through her now.

Bishop73

Spirit - S4-E18

Trivia: When Dawn is looking through the yearbook, some of the names seen are people who worked on "Smallville." Mairzee Almas was one of the directors who would go on to direct Kreuk (Lana) in "Beauty and the Beast" and a few other DC shows. Assistant editor Anthony Ashley, assistant directors Jen Carpenter and Rob Duncan, costume designer Caroline Cranstoun, and location manager Michael Hauka. Many would also go on to work on other DC shows.

Bishop73

Devoted - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When Clark comes downstairs and talks to his mom (after the scene where Chloe kissed him), the football is sitting on the bag with the laces up. In the next shot, the laces are down.

Bishop73

Gone - S4-E2

Trivia: The Daily Planet article about Lionel Luther being found guilty was reported by Perry White. When Perry was seen in season 3, he was a disgraced reporter, after Lionel got him fired, who worked as a tabloid reporter. He vowed to get sober and get his career on track at the end of the episode "Perry." He isn't physically seen again until the end of season 9.

Bishop73

Gone - S4-E2

Character mistake: When Chloe is rescued, and she sees Lois, she asks what's Lois is doing here. Lois says "putting the worst 2 months of my life behind me", indicating how long since Chloe supposedly died. But it had been three months at that point.
