Smallville

Jitters - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: For several shots during the early scene with the baby in the crib, the blanket changes back and forth from tucked up to the chin, up to the shoulders, and up to the stomach in different angles. (00:01:55)

Phoenix

Crush - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: When Chloe is kissing Justin the shot is behind him and her hands are not on his neck. The shot switches to behind Chloe and she does have her hands on his neck.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: After Lex tells Martha that he'll do whatever he can to help Jonathan, she goes into Jonathan's hospital room. As she goes through the door, the blinds next to the door are closed. When the shot switches to show Clark standing at the other window, the blinds next to the door are open. Then, as Lex goes over to Clark, the blinds next to the door are closed again.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Jonathan shoots Clark with the shotgun, in the slow motion shot of Clark as he first starts to take the hit there is nothing coming out of the gun or on his chest. When the shot moves to Clark's left he now has red hot shot fragments on his chest.

Kinetic - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: After the encounter in the meat locker, Lex and Clark talk outside Fordman's store. As Lex turns to leave there is a truck driving down the street in Clark's direction. When the camera switches to Clark, the truck, which should be in this shot going behind Clark, is nowhere to be seen.

Jitters - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, as the mother tucks the blanket up to the child's neck, she changes from both hands on the infant to one hand on the crib. (00:01:55)

Continuity mistake: When Sean is in the nurses office, having his temperature taken, the light on his left side is on. After the nurse wants to retake the temperature the light is now off.

Hug - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Kyle first confronts Rickman in his office and challenges him to a handshake, Rickman looks away. In the next shot on Kyle, Rickman is looking at him again. (00:13:20)

Phoenix

Drone - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: In the intro to the final scene, the top half of the loft doors are open with the bottom half being closed, yet at the end of the scene during the pullout, both the top half and the bottom half of the doors are open.

Shimmer - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Jonathan is sitting down, before he tells Clark that he can't always be honest, in the shot from the other side of the table Jonathan is holding a book in his right hand as he is sitting down. When the shot switches to Clark's right, Jonathan is still starting to sit but now the book is in his left hand.

Hug - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Lex enters Clark's barn loft, the telescope is only tilted at about 10º up. As Clark ponders about his and Lex's friendship, the telescope is pointed at about 45º up. Nobody touched the telescope.

Cool - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Chloe and Clark are at the Torch after the pool incident with Shawn, Chloe is sitting down wrapped up in a green sweater and a blue jacket with part of her blouse showing. In the next shot, she is fully wrapped in the green sweater. Seconds later, her sweater is tucked into her jacket and her blouse is showing. (00:28:00)

Stray - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Ryan gets hit by Martha's car, his comic book goes flying out of his hand. When he falls to the ground, he's holding his comic book again.

Tempest (1) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: The way the pillar is on top of Lionel changes in the scene. In the first shot, he's on his side and it lands on his hip. In the next shot he's now on his back and the pillar is going somewhat across his body. In the wide shot of him as the roof falls, the pillar is below his belt, almost perpendicular to his body. Then back to being on his stomach and part of his chest.

Nicodemus - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When Pete and Chloe are talking to Clark about the flower, Pete pulls out a notebook and opens it up to hand to Clark or Chloe. In the next shot Chloe is taking the notebook and it's closed, and she opens it up again.

Bishop73

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Clark is picking up his books, you see him grab his notebook and put it on top. When he sits up, there's no notebook. It's there in the next shot of him, but gone when Whitney tosses a book to Clark.

Bishop73

Gone - S4-E2

Other mistake: Lois digs up Chloe's grave site to unearth her casket. It is obvious that the casket is not buried six feet deep. You would think, with all that is going on, that LuthorCorp would have at least buried the casket deeper to deter inquisitive eyes and maybe throw in a few scattered bones for good measure.

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)

More trivia for Smallville

Answer: In the comics, Krypto is a dog from Krypton who was used as the passenger in a test launch by Jor-El, Superman's father, before he launched the actual rocket taking his infant son to Earth. Krypto's capsule was involved in a mishap, sending it out of Kryptonian orbit and eventually found its way to Earth where he linked up with the young Clark Kent. Like any native of Krypton, Krypto has superpowers on Earth. In Smallville, the dog is a standard Earth dog who has been experimentally injected with kryptonite, giving him super-strength for a limited period of time, who escapes and links up with Clark (who suggests the name Krypto, ostensibly because of the dog's cryptic origins). It doesn't take too long for the dog's strength to fade, and the Kents decide to keep him, although they ultimately name him Shelby, after a dog that Martha Kent had in childhood.
