Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen, Martha collapses and Clark catches her just in time. Jonathan then rushes to his wife and puts his right hand on her cheek and his left hand on Clark's shoulder. Cut to a close up of Martha as Jonathan calls her name but now he has both his hands on Martha's face.

Fever - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When Martha is in the kitchen and starts having a coughing fit from the toxin, she drops the pitcher of lemonade. The pitcher lands on its side and breaks, but in the next shot, the broken base is positioned upright, sitting level on the floor, the jagged broken edges waiting to impale Martha.

Witness - S2-E20

Audio problem: After Clark is dumped into the blast furnace and the thieves make a getaway in their truck, you can hear the sound of an accelerating engine as it's driving away, but the brake lights are on.

Witness - S2-E20

Revealing mistake: Clark tries to stop the three guys who are inhaling refined kryptonite. As Clark gets tossed through a window, you can see the explosion of a small charge in the bottom left of the widow. Highly noticeable since Clark hits nowhere near where this charge goes off.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: When Clark is fighting with Dr. Walden, twice Dr. Walden sends Clark flying, with his powers. Both times, when Clark hits the ground, he becomes quite buried into the soft dirt, not entirely, but relatively sunken into it. However when it will cut to the next shot, Clark is lying on the dirt without being buried into it at all. This is obviously due to switches between actor and stunt double.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: When Kent leaves on his motorbike at the end of the episode, in a shot from behind Lana crosses her arms. In the next closeup her right arm is up by her mouth.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: As Jor-El is first burning the mark on Clark's chest the mark moves to the upper right part of his chest. In the next shot, closer in on Clark, you can see the same area again but now there is no mark where there was one before.

Exodus (2) - S2-E23

Audio problem: At the wedding, after Jonathon gives Lex the compass, in a side shot we hear Jonathon say a line, yet his mouth is completely out of sync.

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.

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.

Season 4 generally

Question: The WB said that Smallville was going to introduce Krypto the dog. What is Krypto's origin and how did he get his powers?

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.
