History Fridge / Smallville

* In "Bulletproof" towards the end, Clark, Ollie, and J'onn discuss brotherhood and how having each other as surrogate brothers makes them feel like they can accomplish anything. One second later, the scene changes to Tess, who has just discovered how Lex Luthor betrayed and manipulated her, chewing him out and saying goodbye to him. We later learn that Lex was in fact Tess's biological half-brother.
* In the fifth season of ''{{Smallville}}'', I hated how Cyborg didn't look a slight bit like his comicbook counterpart, but just recently, it occurred to me; the point was his comicbook look wasn't necessary since it would be too conspicuous for a giant robot guy walking around and the Cyntechnics guys did him a favor by making him look 100% human since this could've been easily fixed in the comics. No real reason is given for not fixing him in the comics, so it works here.
** The show, however, does briefly [[{{ContinuityNod}} acknowledge this]] when Clark scans Victor with his x-ray vision for the first time. The configuration of his metal endoskeleton looks just like his appearance in the comics.
*** Ironically (and this falls under FridgeLogic) when Clark scans Victor the only normal limb Victor has left is his left arm - which he uses five seconds later to crash Clark into a wall.
During the first episode Jonathan asked Clark if he's okay and Clark asked if he could answer that in five years. Considering the fifth season episode Reckoning, the fact that each season is a year in show and the producer's love for irony...

* In ''Bound'', Lex met a woman at a party and have sex with her. The next morning, he briefly met the same woman but didn't recognize her. Why? She's wearing glasses.

* This may or may not be intentional, but [[PresidentEvil President]] [[FutureMeScaresMe Lex]]'s [[ManInWhite white]] suit evokes his mad scientist outfit from the SilverAge

** Above comment: NoOntologicalInertia doesn't always apply. He lost the ability to shapeshift while in human form, so in human form he stays.

* Why would Bart where a hood over something like a mask? The writers even make Clark himself mention that a hood won't stay up in super speed, and Bart is noticeably faster than Clark. Hell, shouldn't the friction rip his clothes? (Well, Barry mentions that when he designed his own costume in the New 52).

** After Martian Manhunter saves Clark by flying into the Sun, he says he lost his powers in the process. But he still maintains his human appearance, despite having supposedly lost his ability to shapeshift.
*** Above comment: NoOntologicalInertia doesn't always apply. He lost the ability to shapeshift while in human form, so in human form he stays.

** No, Clark can't fly because of the "No Tights, No Flights" rule that Alfred Gough and Miles Millar set up since the beginning of the show. Unfortunately, this rule only applies to Clark. Other Kryptonians were exempt.

** Clark can't fly because he's afraid of heights. It's all in his head. This has been expressly stated.

** Where was Lana during the alternate timeline. She could have stopped all the Kandorians single-handedly.

* In ''Unsafe'', Chloe reveals that [[spoiler:she lost her virginity to "Jimmy" between season one and two. She turns 18 during ''Spell'', a season four episode, meaning that she was only 15.[[hottip:* : The age of consent in Kansas is 16.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Wait, Jimmy... Oslen!? Isn't he supposed to be...you know, at least a few years younger than Clark?]] Oh wait, [[spoiler:{{Retcon}}!]]

* in the season eight finale, Having NiceGuy Davis Bloome suddenly murder Jimmy seems like a major Wallbanger. FridgeBrilliance to the rescue! The Black K split Davis and Doomsday into two bodies, but there was no way to ''really '' control which body got the "good" personality, and which one got the "evil" personality. Of course,this brings up a whole bunch of FridgeHorror when you realize that NiceGuy Davis Bloome's personality is stuck in the body of a savage, mindless, uncontrollable monster (presumably with the instincts included)

* [[spoiler:Wait, Jimmy... Oslen!? Isn't he supposed to be...you know, at least a few years younger than Clark?]]

* In ''Crossfire'', did Clark ''intentionally'' let the last bullet go past him and stop it inches in front of Oliver's face, simply to make a point? Given the furious look he gives Oliver for trying to get together with Lois, even though he ''knew'' Clark is pursuing her, it seriously comes across as Clark informing Oliver, "[[DoNotTauntCthulhu Do not test my patience]]".

Given the furious look he gives Oliver for trying to get together with Lois, even though he ''knew'' Clark is pursuing her, it seriously comes across as Clark basically informing Oliver, "Do not ''fuck'' with a '''GOD!'''"
