Bishop73

Season 10 generally

Question: Why does Clark keep burning his "S" symbol on the sides of buildings after saving someone? I get him doing it under the influence of red kryptonite, but at this point it just seems like vandalism that Superman would never do. Clark even saw Chloe having to scrub his mark off the wall of Watchtower, which wasn't an easy task. And if it's meant to be a symbol of hope against crime for the people of Metropolis, why burn it into the side of the refinery in Smallville after putting out the fire?

Abandoned - S10-E8

Trivia: During the recording of Jor-El and Lara-El, Jor-El (played by Julian Sands) pronounces Krypton the same way Marlon Brando did, who played Jor-El in the 1978 "Superman" film. That is he says it more like "Kriptin."

Abandoned - S10-E8

Trivia: In this episode, Teri Hatcher plays Lois Lane's mother, albeit only appearing on the video tape. Hatcher played Lois Lane in the TV series "Lois and Clark."

Descent - S7-E16

Question: In this episode, Lionel falls to his death. While still on the steps, covered with a tarp, the cop tells Lex that she needs a positive identification, so Lex must look at the dead body to confirm it's Lionel. Lionel was a well known public figure, and they obviously knew who he was well enough to get Lex to identify him. I've seen cops do this in other shows, so is it really a policy or practice to get family members to give a positive identification? Would they ever ask for it at the scene?

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.

Bishop73

Warrior - S9-E12

Trivia: This episode bares some resemblance to the story of Captain Marvel, also known as Shazam. In it, young Alec Abrams magically turns into an adult, Steven Swift who is the superhero Angel Warrior. Stephen Swift is played by Carlo Marks. Marks appeared in season 7 as Chloe's fiancé in an alternate reality where Kal-El never came to Earth.

Bishop73

Cure - S7-E4

Trivia: In this episode, Dean Cain plays Curtis Knox. Cain starred in "Lois and Clark" as Clark Kent/Superman.

Bishop73

Kara - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kara and Clark get off the elevator, there's no-one around them as they're walking away. In the next shot of Kara and the elevator, 3 people have suddenly gathered to look at the broken elevator. The elevator was off camera for less than 2 seconds, not enough time for 3 different people to get into the position they're in when they weren't close by to begin with.

Bishop73

Hug - S1-E11

Question: Ignoring the meteor metahuman powers, couldn't Jonathan Kent say the signature was a forgery, and he didn't sign it? It didn't seem to be notarized. He doesn't remember signing it or know what Rickman said to him to get him to sign it, so what would the courts or a lawyer say if Kent just said that's not his signature, or he didn't sign it? And how ironclad could the contract be without the date filled out?"Twentieth" day is typed out, but the month and year is blank.

Bishop73

Suspect - S2-E13

Character mistake: When Sheriff Miller is talking to Clark and Martha about Jonathan being drunk, he says Jonathan blew a 2.0, referring to his BAC. He meant to say a 0.2. A 0.2 would be a blackout drunk stage, but a 2.0 would be a lethal amount.

Bishop73

Prototype - S6-E21

Trivia: Tahmoh Penikett appears in this episode, and "Nemesis" as Wes Keenan, who gained super powers after being injected with the DNA of kryptonite-infected humans as part of Project Ares. Penikett also appeared in season 3 as Vince Davis, who came back to life after being given the Lazarus Serum, which was made from the blood of Clark Kent. The Lazarus Serum was a project by Lionel Luther and Project Ares was a project by Lex Luther.

Bishop73

Phantom - S6-E22

Continuity mistake: When Lois is at the dam, looking at the card she previously tore, the numbers and markings are written differently than before.

Bishop73

Prototype - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Lionel is watching the video and drawing Kryptonian symbols, some of the symbols change in between shots. For example, when he draws "minion" one of the dots is touching the square. When he writes the word, everything is nice and neat and the dots aren't touching anything.

Bishop73

Trespass - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: When Lana is in Clark's room with her hot drink, you see some steam coming off it. When she's at the computer going through drawers, some shots show lots of steam and other show no steam.

Bishop73

Arrow - S6-E4

Other mistake: When Clark looks at Oliver's newspaper clipping, there's a story about an AIDS hospice being saved. But the 2nd paragraph on talks about the 2nd meteor shower to hit Smallville that has nothing to do with the hospice being saved.

Bishop73

Arrow - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: After Lois pins the sketch of the Green Arrow, the pushpin changes position. In some shots, it's across the top of the paper and in others it's in between the top of the sketch and top of the paper.

Bishop73

Recruit - S4-E13

Other mistake: When Clark is in the girl's room and a noise comes from the closet, Clark uses his X-Ray vision to see there's a person in there because he can see the skeleton and is surprised to see it's Lois when he opens the door. However, it's been shown before that Clark can use his X-Ray vision to see objects and people through solid objects. He should have been able to see that it was Lois rather than just a skeleton of an unknown person.

Bishop73

Unsafe - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Alicia takes off Clark's necklace at the hotel, Clark puts on his shirt. When he does so, his collar is popped up and stays that way until the next shot when it's down.

Bishop73

Show generally

Other mistake: Throughout the series, they reuse the same footage for establishing shots of the Talon. For example, one of the shots has the Talon sign say "Silent Film Festival" with a guy holding and bouncing a basketball as they walk pass the Talon is in s02e05 and s03e11 and other episodes, including s03e10 where it's the same people but the guy is holding his jacket and further back.

Bishop73

Whisper - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Lionel and Lex are talking, after they sit down, near the end of the conversation, Lionel asks who Lex's source is. Lex is looking straight ahead. In the next shot, we see Lex turn his head to face his father. In the next shot, Lex is looking straight ahead again.
