Continuity mistake: Seth fires at Clark and Clark dives behind a ride car to dodge the bullets. As Clark stands up he brushes the impacted bullets off of his shoulder. Seth says "Looks like I'm not the only one with special powers." before he turns to use his powers to pick up a ride car that is behind him. As Seth starts to get the car in the air, in the background you can see Clark is only just standing up and brushing his shoulder off again.

Shattered - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Lana being stepped on by the horse, her right arm is out by her side and her hair is covered with the wood shavings lining the stall. In the next shot of her, her right arm is up so that her right hand is by her head and her hair isn't covered with the shavings. Her arm is back out by her side in the next shot when Clark arrives.

Asylum - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: After Clark gets his powers back the cut on his cheek heals and leaves only blood on his cheek. While still at the power generator he goes to wipe this blood off of his face with the back of his hand only in the shot just before you see his hand go to wipe, a second before his hand actually appears on screen, the blood that was on his cheek is now gone as if it was already cleaned.

Continuity mistake: When Lex first tries to break out of Belle Reve, he stabs a security guard in the leg with a pencil deep enough to draw a large amount of blood on the guy's pants leg.

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Clark is faced with Nathan Dean at the Auto Wrecking lot, Nathan says "In a minute, neither one of you will care," (regarding Pete Ross' whereabouts). The next shot is of the blue car that Pete is trapped in with the windows blown out. Then the shot goes back to Clark and Nathan, and the cars fall onto Nathan. Clark is then listening for Pete and when we see a shot of the blue car being crushed, this time we see the windows being smashed.

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: Martha asks Clark to come out after he gets glasses. In the shot showing all three of them, Clark comes into view on the left side of the screen and is turned toward his parents. The very next shot shows he is just walking through the door of the optometrist and turned away from his parents as he closes the door.

Hereafter - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: In the head on shot of the car that almost hits Mr. Altman you see the driver of that car react by turning his car to the left.

The shot returns to Clark and Pete and Dante is shown walking away again on the left side of the screen.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: At the start of the final race there is a bridge at the far end of the road that Pete and Jason are going to race to. During the entire race they never pass this bridge yet it ends up behind Jason's car when Pete looks in his rearview mirror as the crash is going on.

Continuity mistake: As the two racers speed past Clark and Martha, in the truck at the intersection, Pete's red car does not have its neon lights on in the back window and under the rear spoiler. Then in the next shot, while still racing, both the blue neon lights in the back window and the green neon under the rear spoiler are on.

Velocity - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: As the car that Jason was in comes to a stop after the crash you can see Pete's red car is nowhere near the wreckage of Jason's car. In the next shot Pete's car is shown rolling forward to a stop, meaning he hadn't backed up but was still going forward and stopped where he was, but now Pete is only 30-40 feet from the wreck of Jason's car.

Whisper - S3-E10

Question: In the episode, 'Whisper', there is a character that makes a very high pitched feedback like noise. Is this a character that was in the old comics and can anyone tell me how this guy does that noise?

Answer: No, there is no such character in the comics. He's a "meteor-freak" like all the other baddies on the show. The sound has something to do with him vibrating his vocal cords very fast to create a high-pitched squeal.
