Smallville

At the end when Clark and Pete are playing basketball, Pete asks Clark to show him what powers he's got. When Clark jumps over Pete you can see that Pete's shadow is cast to the right, but in the next camera angle from the other direction the shadow is cast on the other side of Pete.

Trivia: Hamilton seemed to be suffering from the same kryptonite-induced disease that affected Earl Jenkins in the episode "Jitters." No mention is made here of the similarity, however.

When Dr. Hamilton is using tools on the ship (presumably trying to open it), the spaceship prop is shaking around quite a bit, making it obvious that it is not as heavy as it should be if made out of metal, and as shown when Pete was hauling it around earlier.

When Pete rolls up after the accident, what is the flashing red light that leads him out to the van? I doubt the guy thought to put on his hazards! Besides, we see the front of the van when Pete gets to it, and the blinkers clearly aren't going. We also see in the shot of the spaceship that it isn't what is flashing, either. So what is the strange flashing light out in the field?

Even if you were in a fight with your best friend, would you keep your accelerator to the floor if he suddenly appeared in front of your car like Pete did with Clark? Pete kept on the gas for five full seconds staring straight into Clark's eyes.

Pete says to Clark "This is like the Holy Grail or something," his lips continue to move, repeating the line after it's finished. In the same scene, the problem repeats with Pete's line "She'll never let us live it down."

If Pete told the police that he couldn't remember where the car went off the road, then presumably he would have had to carry the injured man in the truck out of the cornfield and well away from where the spaceship was if the man was to get to the hospital. Even assuming he could actually do this, wouldn't it have been really selfish of him to risk further injury to the man by dragging him all that way after he'd been in a serious accident?

When Dr. Hamilton gets pushed into the table, the bottle of green meteor fluid gets thrown off it. Yet the next bit shows the bottle still on the table and dripping onto Hamilton's forehead.

When the Luthors went to Hamilton's barn to see the ship, we the audience see that Hamilton's body isn't there....so is he really dead? (editor's note: or did Clark and Pete ditch the body somewhere...?) (some contributors such as c_jones thought Lex might have disposed of the body, or that it vibrated itself out of existence (?), or simply that he was not quite dead yet and fled for a future appearance)

When Dr. Hamilton "dies" Pete goes up to him to help and comes back to Clark saying "He's dead. Let's go." How does Pete know he's dead just by looking? (some contributors thought that he was just telling Clark that to get them out of there.)

Clark was talking to Chloe as they were walking to Smallville High's front entrance and then Clark supersped away when he figured out that Dr. Hamilton might have kidnapped Pete. Wasn't he thinking before he did this? I mean it was broad daylight and dozens of his schoolmates were outside nearby. Don't ya think they would have noticed him zipping away, or at least noticed him being there, then suddenly disappearing? (editor's note: several other contributors such as Undeclared noticed this as well - the novel "Strange Visitors" also has Clark doing this in a classroom. The impression there seems to be that unless someone is looking directly at Clark when he starts or stops, he pretty much moves so fast as to be invisible. Besides, these are self-centered 21st century high-school students. :) )

Pete needed Clark's help to move the ship. And yet somehow Dr. Hamilton moves the ship from Pete's place to his. He's probably stronger, but his jittering left hand seems to make it very difficult to do coordinated physical activity or operate machinery. So how did he move the ship by himself? (some thought that Hamilton might have had boosted strength like Jenkins did. And later in "Lineage" we see that Jonathan could move the ship by himself. So it's remotely possible, but still doesn't seem like Hamilton had much control.)

Chloe shows Clark the hospital visitor log because it shows that Ray Wallace was visited by Dr. Hamilton. Considering Hamilton's sneaky motives and the fact that he bribed his way into Ray's room why would he be dumb enough to let himself be put on a hospital visitor log. (some contributors thought he may not have had a choice)

It's unlikely that the spaceship would have been left out in a farmer's crop field untouched for an entire summer.

When did the Kents get a new truck? The last one was destroyed last year in "Tempest" - how much money do they have? (some contributors thought insurance, but that implies an insurance investigation, which would turn up the explosives, and who started the ignition to activate the explosives and how they survived, and raises some issues the Kents wouldn't want to go into. Note later, in 'Ryan', they are very reluctant to draw official scrutiny.)
