Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Clark and Lex were talking about Helena while playing billiards, Clark picks up the stripped blue ball. They then continue to talk as he plays with the ball in his hand. He then puts it back on the table allowing it to roll but now its has changed into the cue (white) ball and the stripped blue ball can be see in the foreground right next to the side pocket and a stripped red ball.

Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Lex and Clark are playing pool. Lex misses his shot on the 12 ball and scratches which leaves the 12 ball near the pocket. After Clark gets the cue ball, he makes his shot on a different ball and the 12 ball that was next to the pocket is gone without it being knocked into the pocket.

Visage - S2-E11

Other mistake: When the Marine officer comes to Whitneys house, he introduces himself as Lt. McNulty, but he is wearing the insignia of a Captain.

Visage - S2-E11

Audio problem: While talking about Tina Greer's suicide after Chloe says "lit a match" you can hear Pete say "okay" but you see his mouth doesn't move with the word.

Visage - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Tina puts the necklace on Clark to disable him, he falls to the ground of his barn. As he is lying there, his collar is very dark, and his shoulder is lit up. Since the source of the green light is supposed to be the necklace, his collar should be the brightest lit.

Visage - S2-E11

Audio problem: When Whitney is tearing up the bathroom, he throws the door and we don't hear it land. I saw this on the DVD, so it was not a transmission problem.

Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Clark sees Whitney and realizes that he may be Tina Greer the next scene is at the school newspaper The Torch. The first shot of the computer, as the camera pans past it, has a story about Whitney's return up front with the story about Tina Greer's "suicide" behind it. Even though nobody touches the computer in the time between shots the next shot of the screen has just the story on Tina Greer and Whitney's story is completely gone.

Insurgence - S2-E12

Revealing mistake: After Lex's employee walks out of the office, Lex gets mad and throws most of the objects off his desk. Prior to this, we see a computer screen displaying something. When the objects go flying off and hit the wall, we see that it wasn't actually a computer screen but a prop that was made look like one. It was just the frame, a piece of paper that served as the display covered by clear plastic to make it look like an actual computer screen.

Insurgence - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Lex speaks with the Lieutenant, watch Clark and Jonathan in the background. They are seen standing by a News Now van and looking up at the Daily Planet. When the camera cuts to them, they are shown walking past the News Now van again.

Insurgence - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Lana is meeting with the Small's over coffee at the Talon and Mr. Small gets more coffee for himself and is wife, he picks up his cup and his wife's. Then when he comes back he puts down the coffee for himself and Lana.

Suspect - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When there is a flashback of the shooting, the police officer is heard to fire 3 shots, yet in each other flashbacks it's 2 shots and there are only 2 wounds in the victim.

Suggested correction: The Sheriff only fires 2 shots at Lionel. The first shot seen and heard is him using Jonathan's hand to shoot the gun so that gunpowder residue can be found on Jonathan's hand. This is also the bullet Clark finds when searching the area where the truck was.

Suspect - S2-E13

Character mistake: When Sheriff Miller is talking to Clark and Martha about Jonathan being drunk, he says Jonathan blew a 2.0, referring to his BAC. He meant to say a 0.2. A 0.2 would be a blackout drunk stage, but a 2.0 would be a lethal amount.

Prodigal - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: The motorcyclist has his visor down when he appears at the end of the alley. He raises the gun, then reaches up and lowers his visor again. (00:27:00)

Prodigal - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Lucas is in the Luthor mansion talking to Lionel and Lex, he picks up and inspects the samurai sword, then returns it to the holder, hanging it on one peg by the strap. In the next immediate shot, it is resting between the pegs, as it was before he picked it up.

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: The position of Clark's sleeve to the tourniquet change between shots. When Dr. Bryce first ties the tourniquet she does so at about an inch from the end of the sleeve. In the next shot, as Clark lies unconscious and nobody touches his sleeve, the tourniquet is tied around the sleeve and no longer on his skin. Just before Dr. Bryce sticks the needle in it's back to being an inch from his sleeve.

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: Just before Dr. Bryce removes the vial she unties the tourniquet and the straps are completely off of Clark's arm. In the shot of Clark after that, as Dr. Bryce looks at the vial, she unties the tourniquet again.

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: After Clark says "I'm not leaving." Jonathan starts to talk about the list of things Martha needed to get done. As Jonathan says this there is a camera switch. Before the switch Clark is next to the window turned toward his dad. After the switch Clark is now standing further back from the window behind Jonathan's right shoulder.

Fever - S2-E16

Audio problem: After the DCA shows Clark and Jonathan the metallic key, Clark says, "We need to think about mom," but his lips are not moving.

Shimmer - S1-E10

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.

More quotes from Smallville

Trivia: Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of the Clark Kent/Superman character worked on a school magazine when he was at Glenville High School, Cleveland. The magazine was called The Torch - the same name of Smallville High's school magazine, edited by Chloe Sullivan and with Clark Kent as an on/off contributor.

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.
