Smallville

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Clark lifts Lana back onto the bridge, from a shot from above, we see that Lana puts her left leg onto the bridge into a sitting position. They then cut to a different angle but now both her legs are still dangling and she eventually puts her right leg on the bridge first.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: The shot with Ian pulling Lana out of the car shows the shadow cast on the bridge covering half the road. A few seconds later, after Chloe gets free of the Ian that has her, the shadows on the bridge are much shorter.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: At the Talon during Chloe's interview with Ian, Ian holds the mug by its ear, but in the next shot Ian is no longer holding the mug by its ear but by the mug itself.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: At the end of the confrontation between Clark and Ian regarding what he is doing to Chloe and Lana, Ian turns to his right to walk away from Clark. Cut to a different angle and now Ian is turning to his left as he walks away from Clark.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: After Clark catches Chloe, he runs back on top of the bridge and we see Ian with both his hands on the railing of the dam. But in the next shot it is his arms which are on the railing, then his hands once again, in the next shot.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Ian is dragging Lana towards the dam, his double can be seen in the background dragging Chloe. The double is on Chloe's right side pushing her. Cut to a close up as Chloe says "Ian you need help" but now the double is behind Chloe and is pulling her.

Dichotic - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Ian confronts Mr. Frankle about his grade, the teacher removes both his gloves and is about to raise his face protector. Cut to a different angle but now he has his right glove back on.

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: While he is being attacked by the wolf the foreman fires the flare gun with his arms spread, meaning that it would fly at an angle away from him. He then sees it arcing back from below toward him, impossible unless the flare changed direction and location in the air. (00:02:20)

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Lex is talking to Lionel outside the building site at the end, Lex's sunglasses disappear while the camera is on Lionel and reappear when back on Lex. This happens after Lionel turns to face slightly behind Lex and continues throughout the rest of that exchange.

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When the wolf jumps out the window of the Luthor mansion there is no blood on the glass shards that are left in the window. As Clark goes to the window, there is, all of a sudden, a lot of blood present on the glass.

Skinwalker - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: Joseph, Kyla and Clark are at the Talon, in the scene after Joseph is bailed out of jail. Martha comes in and walks over to the three of them. The next shot has her stopped next to Clark, with no forward movement to indicate she is still walking to him. In the shot after that she is still walking up to Clark.

Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: As Clark walks up to Lex you can see the tip of Lex's cue stick is 3-4 inches away from the rail. Before Clark picks it up the stick is now right up against the rail.

Visage - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: In the shot where Clark picks up Lex's cue stick, the balls on the table are spread out in an arch consisting of 4 balls. The shot switches to a low level shot looking at Lex and the balls at Lex's end, where the arch should be, are no longer forming an arch.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
