Continuity mistake: Tina's grip on Lana's necklace changes as she stands over Lana's body. (00:37:30)
Factual error: Lana says the theme of her mother's prom was Saturday Night Fever, but she was in the class of 1977. Prom would take place sometime before graduation (which would be in May, maybe June), likely February or March. Filming for "Saturday Night Fever" didn't even begin until March 1977.
Revealing mistake: While Lana is listening to her Mother's graduation speech she reaches up to her neck for her meteor rock necklace. Her hands do not reach far enough back to unclasp the necklace yet the necklace comes off anyway.
Revealing mistake: As Tina/Clark tries to run over Martha, there is a shot of Tina/Clark up close in the truck, and the gear shift is still in park.
Continuity mistake: When "Lex" threatens the bank manager, he points the gun at his face, but the next shot on the manager shows the gun at his throat. (00:01:35)
Visible crew/equipment: After Martha finds the money in the antique shop she tells the other woman she needs to be more careful, as they are walking in the room there is a boom mike shadow moving.
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.
