5 mistakes in season 8 - chronological order

Season 8 generally

Plot hole: Though it fits the general plot of Davis always being first on scene, in the real world no on-duty paramedic drives the ambulance alone. There will always be a minimum of two EMTs per ambulance, one to drive and one to tend the patient. The only time a paramedic or other EMT will be alone is if they arrived on the scene in their own vehicle.

Plastique - S8-E2

Other mistake: After Clark enters the phone booth, he begins to change out of his red shirt. The phone booth is mostly frosted glass, but it is possible to make out that Clark only becomes bare-chested before the next shot when he comes out of the phone booth with the blue shirt on. (00:02:14)

Plastique - S8-E2

Continuity mistake: When Clark exits the phone booth wearing his blue shirt, only the neck button is unbuttoned in the wide shot. Immediately in the next close-up shot, two buttons are undone. Then in the next shot of Clark's front side, the shirt is back to only the neck button being undone. (00:02:27)

Infamous - S8-E15

Character mistake: When Davis sees Lois' article about Clark, the second column contains a grammatical error; in her description of his upbringing with Jonathan and Martha, the possessive "Kent's" should be the plural "Kents."

Turbulence - S8-E16

Other mistake: In the article about the plane crash, the last paragraph starts to repeat the same sentence. After is says Mercer took over the operation, it repeats that she started in collaboration with Lex.

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.

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.
