Vortex (2) - S2-E1

Vortex (2) - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Clark, Pete and Chloe were looking for Clark's father in the woods, Pete says: 'the twister must have dropped it here' and we see Chloe holding the map in her right hand.

In a close up we see the doctors right hand on Lana's neck checking her pulse and her left hand is no where in sight.

Vortex (2) - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Clark, Pete and Chloe were searching for Clark's father in the woods, they stumble upon a motor home dropped by the tornado. Chloe then picks up a Nixon's camera and looks at it. Cut to Nixon and Jonathan Kent then back to a wide shot as we see Chloe throwing the camera down onto the ground. Clark then uses his X-Ray vision once again. Cut back to a wider angle (as they walk away) yet we see Chloe throw down the camera once again.
Continuity mistake: After Lex confronts Desiree about changing her name, Lex says 'we really need to discuss this' Desiree then kisses Lex and they both tilt their heads to their left. Cut to a different angle and they are both tilting her heads to the right.
Continuity mistake: When Lana was making a video to send to Whitney, we see her interviewing Clark. We first see Clark through the camera's view finder. Lana then drops the camera (pointing it down) such that we see Clark's feet. Cut to a different angle but now Lana's is pointing the camera at Clark's chest level.
Continuity mistake: When Desiree walks into Clark's barn to work on their 'student-teacher relations', she holds her hair up with her right hand as she complains about the heat. She then lets her hair down and fixes it. Cut to a different angle and she is letting her hair down once again.
Continuity mistake: In Jail, when the sheriff tells Chloe and Lana that visiting time is over, we see Clark holding the bars with his left hand as he tells the girls that his dad went to see Desiree. Cut to a different angle (from inside the jail cell) but now Clark is no longer holding onto the bars and only holds them a few seconds later.
Continuity mistake: When Clark decides to stay home from school because he cannot control his heat vision, his father decides to have a talk with him. Jonathan pulls his son to face him and them places both his hands on Clark's shoulders. Cut to a different angle as Jonathan says: 'Clark, look at me ' but now we see his left hand on Clark's neck. Cut back to the previous angle and his hands are on Clark's shoulders again.
Continuity mistake: When Jonathan goes to talk to Desiree, we see her getting out of the swimming pool. However her hair is just damp when it should have been completely wet and dripping all over the place considering the length of her hair.
Continuity mistake: When Jonathan goes to talk to Desiree, Jonathan throws Desiree a bathrobe. She then proceeds to put it on and lifts her right hand over her head as she does so. Cut to a different angle and now she is raising her right hand over her head once again.
Continuity mistake: Pete arrives when Lana was interviewing Clark for a video that she would send to Whitney. Lana then asks Pete: 'want to give it a shot?' We then see Lana holding the view finder of the camera with her left thumb and index finger while the rest of her fingers in outstretched. Cut to a different angle (as we see Pete) but now the rest of her fingers are no longer outstretched.
Continuity mistake: At the collision, Pete looks out over the cornfield and sees the flashing turn signal of the truck but not its headlights, which should be brighter. (00:03:20)
Continuity mistake: There are several close up shots of the syringe that Dr. Hamilton is using to threaten Pete with and you can see that it is made of plastic. Clark uses his heat vision to overheat the syringe causing it to burst but the sound the syringe makes when it bursts is that of a glass syringe and not the plastic one he was actually using.
Continuity mistake: Clark tries to talk to Pete into helping him find his ship. As Clark was talking about the driver, we see the cover to Pete's locker in the foreground. Cut to a different angle and now Pete's left hand is on the locker and it wasn't there in the previous angle.
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Hamilton was about to pour liquid kryptonite on Clark, Pete hits him on the back and he goes crashing onto a table knocking everything on it off the table. Yet later we see an open bottle of liquid kryptonite on the edge of the table (which was cleared by the doctor earlier) dripping onto the doctors forehead.
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.
