Smallville

Why do the market manager's glasses turn to dust when he touches Tyler? The guy doing the autopsy was wearing glasses and his didn't turn to dust.

Lex tells Jonathan that the only picture with his father is on the Luthorcorp financial report. In "Insurgence," we can clearly see a picture with both of them on Lionel's desk in his office.

In the scene with Dominic and Lex, Dominic hits the cue ball, sending it to an edge of a side pocket. Yet when there is a close up on Dominic, the cue ball is safely in the middle of the table.

When Tyler goes in to see Mrs Sykes (when he gives her the white rose), he touches Pepper first (as denoted by the yelps, and the finding of Pepper's ashes later by Clark). In order to turn Pepper to ash, Tyler would have had to take his glove off, yet when he walks over to Mrs Sykes, he has both gloves on, and takes one off again to touch her. He could have put the glove back on but why bother if he knew he was going to be touching Mrs Sykes?

The scene with Lex and his father meeting has two discrepancies: when Lex tells his father to open the trunk, Lionel pushes a button on the key and we hear the "unlock door" sound, not the trunk release. Granted, the car may have been locked, but who locks their car and then stands by it? Also, we never hear the "unlock trunk" sound. Finally, the other discrepancy is that Lex walks away from his car and his father at the end of the conversation. If he leaves his car behind, how does he get back to Smallville?

The scene where Clark and his father are having an argument over the fishing trip, there is a sign hanging on the wall above a door in the background. It's a red sign that says "Horses Boarded" and beneath that "______85 cents" and "_____75 cents" (____ being something difficult to make out). So why haven't we seen it before and why do the Kents have it?

In the graveyard scene, it's completely different from the first graveyard scene in the pilot. Also, in the graveyard scene of "X-Ray," it's a different graveyard from the pilot (no Angel monument, no trees in sight, etc). We know it's supposed to be the same graveyard because Lana's parents have a gravestone there. So...what's with the changing graveyards?

When Tyler touches his victims, their clothes also dissolve into ash, yet when he wears the gloves (to prevent his "gift" from working) they don't turn to ash.

Judging from the scene with Martha and the produce, Tyler has no conscious control of his power. It affects vegetables, so it's not limited to living beings and arguably works on anything organic. It also seems to happen with any contact with his skin, not just his hands. So how does he wear leather gloves or cotton clothing? (editor's note: maybe it has to be living organic substances?)

When Tyler takes his gloves off in Mr. Fordman's hospital room, his hands are curled, almost into a fist. If he later kills himself by touching himself, shouldn't that have killed him right then?

After Tyler almost kills Martha Kent, Lana says that Tyler "seemed nice". At that point in the episode she's never met him as far as we ever find out.

Whitney says that he's never been out at the graveyard with Lana. Lana doesn't contradict him, although Tina-as-Whitney was out there with her in "X-Ray." So is the knowledge of krypto-mutants, or at least shapechanger Tina, common knowledge? (Later, in "Visage," Lana seems skeptical at the idea of a shapechanger.)

Chloe has pictures of Tyler's corpse from the autopsy. Ummm, when did they take them? We saw most of it, and the coroner didn't take any pictures or seem to have a camera nearby.
