Mistakes/Inconsistencies & Plotholes in Freak

[xrayvision]

Talk about mistakes,plotholes & inconsistencies you saw in Freak.

[STFanatic]

Two weeks ago, the grass was green and flowers on the kent farm, last week there was blizzard like weather, this week, the trees were green outside of the Luthor mansion and flowers again on the kent farm.

I blame the ediors.

[jeffct87]

I blame the trees in canada never turning brown

[Raging Clue]

Clark using his fingers to take a GPS tracker out of Chloe instead of tweezers. Damn that must have hurt.

I hate to say this.. but that actually happened in Canada.
I'm not saying the writer's did that on purpose or anything (because episodes are filmed much beforehand), but we just had our first BIG snow of the season the other day, and the grass here literally went from green to 2 feet of snow.

[BrokenHero]

I actually don't remember a scene at the kent farm this week. Where were there flowers at the Kent farm?

[STFanatic]

By the Kent mailbox.

Well, in Vancouver and Seattle the grass is green year round. It's typical Pacific Coast weather. Spring is about two weeks away for the Pacific Northwest. It's not like TPTB can do anything about the weather...

I could be wrong... but Vancouver definately gets snow.

Sometimes. I lived there for 12 years and about every four years we would get a large dump overnight (more than 24 inches). This year was crazy. Dozens of storms including snow, rain, wind, etc. Just nuts. It normally just rains in the winter. All winter.

[STFanatic]

Understandable, but one week roses, the next ice storm, then flowers again. Plus the trees shown were not the evergreen/pine type, those were leaves and ivy.
I have been to Vancouver many times, great place.

But Smallville is supposed to be in Kansas, the editors are using stock footage in the cut away scenes.

[NoSoupForYou]

I live in Vancouver....and yeah, it DID snow like hell about 3 times this winter, a great improvement over last winter, where we got no snow but it rained for 27 days straight. (No lie, look it up) The weather in Vancouver really is like that though, blizzard one day, sunny and bright the next. Weather in Vancouver was CRAZY this year though....we had to spend like $9 million restoring Stanley Park (look it up) because of the rainstorm. What was it, like 120 kph winds?

[dcf]

Here's one (before all you lucky west-coasters hijack the thread while I freeze to death under a heap of snow)

-how did the bullet go from being in front of Lana to being behind Lana without actually going THROUGH Lana?

When Clark knocks it out of the way it appears to be going sorta sideways, but Lana later tells him she found it in the cabinet behind her.

I thought the same thing! LOL poor Chloe...apart from getting zapped by the heat vision, Clark stuck his gigantic big alien fingers in there and searched through the hole! :rolleyes:

[InMyPlace]

To be fair, it's not like they had time to start scrambling around looking for tweezers, lol.

[binkys711]

True...but gosh darn it! I just felt so bad for Chloe :(

But here you'll find a future plothole.....Chloe got burned on the shoulder and had this hole in her, yet next episode there won't be a scar/scratch or even a blimp on that thing! you won't even know it happened! :p

[nathanjamesk1]

I noticed a small mistake in this show. nothing serious. but i found it a bit funny.

Chloe gets abducted. but when she is found, she states the last thing she remembers was going to bed, and then waking up the next morning.

i found this as a mistake, reason being is this. (unless the memory wipe can, alter memorys)

in order of events.

Chloe had an assignment that had to be done, and Jimmy was to meet her at the aparment to help, or just to see her. well, she wasn't there, she had been taken at this point. and Chloe being the workaholic she is, wouldn't have fallen alseep, especially since there is a Fotw involved.

so, chloe would have never gotten to that point for bedtime.

she was abducted before Jimmy went to see her. so she couldn't remember going to sleep the night before....

[meteor_phreak]

i thought this was weird too, because the guy from the bowling alley had missing memories, not some altered memories. it would have been more accurate if they had her say something like, "I don't know. I was studying and working one minute and then next thing i know, i'm waking up. I thought i just dozed off..."

edit: nevermind. read the thread about the missing scene from the trailer.

[Rogue1]

I just figure that is what the lab people "made" her remember.
Because the few people that they did mentioned who had been abducted the last thing they all remember is going to sleep and waking up the next morning in their bed.
Just a thought.

[nathanjamesk1]

the only detail we really got were 2 exampls. the first one withthe bowling ally guy, said he remembers stepping out with a pint, and then wakingup the next morning. he rememberd the last thing before his abduction.

the second was the story about the mother who called a missing persons report on her son, but found him the next morning in bed.

but other than that, we havn't really seen any examples with an 'altered' memory, just erased memories.

yea i agree
1. the bullet couldnt have went behind lana if clark hit it sideways, plus it should have went way further then it did
2. how could u burn a hole right thru someone then take a gps device out w/ ur hand.
3. if the device was inserted thru her naval how did it end up below her collar bone

They had all the time in the world. Even if someone came to kill Chloe, Clark was right there with her. He's used his powers to save her life many times.

It wasn't inserted through her naval. They took a DNA extraction through her naval. They planted the GPS into her shoulder without showing us. There wasn't even a scar or cut either.

When she said the cabinet behind her, I don't think she meant behind as in a line of sight would go through her, I think she just meant on the other side of the room, or 180 degrees from the direction the bullet had been travelling. Its a fair point though that the bullet could easily have been accidently propelled back towards her.. way to go boy scout.

[Necrorectumonomicon]

How come Chloe moved her arm normaly by the end of the episode like nothing ever happened? Maybe she can regenerate quickly, that's her ability?

[Who]

How did Clark know it was a GPS device in Chloe? Is he an electronics expert?

It was common sense considering that there was a tracker on meteor freaks, and he know Chloe was infected. It's not everyday that you find a small electronic device in someone's shoulder.

1. When Lana said the bullet went into the cabinet "behind her", I don't think she meant DIRECTLY behind her. I think she just meant it wasn't infront of her or anywhere near where the gun was aimed.

2. I don't understand.. why couldn't he? Of course it hurt Chloe, but she obviously didn't care.

3. I thought this too! But the needle was inserted into her stomach for them to take out DNA. They put the GPS in her shoulder later that we didn't see.

[silverstreak]

correct. i forgot about that.

[Darren5000]

Here's a glaring error, please address it:

Chloe is strapped, adn the needle seems to extract in her belly button:

Yet why is this GPS found in her Shoulder? If something was put in the stomach area say, how did it go from her stomach to the shoulder? Did Luthor anticipate maybe somebody finding the GPS, but put in something 'Borg' like in Chloe that only he can control?

Somehow, if they ever told the story of how the Borg came to be, Lex Luthor is a very good suspect of being one with the science, and resistance is futile.

I was definately wondering the same thing - why shoot her in the belly button and then it ends up under her collar bone. Strange.

[Antithesis]

Maybe they just took the dna from her stomach and then implanted the gps locator in her shoulder. I do seem to remember hearing that the stomach was the best place to get dna when the cloning controvery was going on.(in real life)

[xrayvision]

There should have been a mark in her skin from where they opened her up.

[kevy]

alright back to the weather!!!! oj god sake we're talkin bout smallville here not Vancouver crist but i would like to say it was raining outside just as the blind guy flicked the lights off i mean wdf? tyhen clark supersped in and wasnt raining??? like how does the wether change in like 0.0000000000000000000000001 second i mean it was kanses not Vancouver!!!!!!! Was Storm there?

Ya maybe- but you'd think she'd have noticed. Chloe was wearing a pretty revealing shirt at the end of the episede, and I don't recall seeing the bandage clark put on her collarbone. I thought that was the biggest oops of the episode.

[Raging Clue]

Originally posted by Mr.Magic

I didn't see that when I first watched it. I just watched it again, and that is more of a scratch than it is a scar. The GPS tracker was under her collarbone. That scratch/scar was on her shoulder and was way too big. The GPS tracker was tiny, there would be no need to make a hole that big, and that far away from it's destination.

I guess they can get away with it by calling it a scar, but it's a stretch. Chloe wasn't alarmed at all by it, meaning she probably cut her shoulder before. If I wake up with a scar or a hole in my body, I wanna know where it came from.

[Peat Moss]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't just a tracker, but some device to kill her. A bomb maybe? Thus, telekenesis couldn't help bowling dude.
Besides, who says he can control anything but bowling balls and pins? That in itself is a power to be reckoned with.

MOD NOTE: Please do not insult other posters.

They extracted DNA from her belly button, then they inserted the GPS. He might have hit it sideways towards her, making it end up not right behind her, but a bit to either side. He didnt burn thru, he burnt a hole, and took the gps out.

If it was a bomb, then it would have exploded when Clark crushed it. It wasn't a bomb. Daniel Kim didn't die from an explosion, it was a car crash which was staged by Lex and Dr. Bethany's people.

True, but it's Smallville. If Chloe doesn't have a bandage next episode I will be very shocked.

Heat vision + Clark's huge fingers = ouch.

Who knows, maybe Chloe's wound will heal faster than Lana's stab wound from Zod.

[STFanatic]

From eviewing the scene a few times, I don't think the chip was very far under the skin.
It looked like it was barely more then an inch under, since it was micro thin, he didn't really need tweezers.

Clark said "It's just a GPS Chip".

You can say the same thing about any meteor freak that has died. Just because they have an ability, it doesn't mean they are invincible.

[dave73085]

Yeah, it probably takes concentration to do anything. If he was accosted like that, he wouldn't have much of a chance, especially if they drugged him/whatever once they got him in the car.

What was he supposed to do telekinetically? Smash them upside the head with his pint? I'm guessing he hasn't really "mastered" telekinesis or his power is fairly weak if he is merely working at a bowling alley.

Right. Chloe and Clark had a sense of urgency because for all they knew before the surgery, it was something that could kill her.

Though I agree that Clark knew it was "just a GPS" a little too readily/easily. Maybe he could sense its frequency with superhearing?

[Peat Moss]

I would like to note that Superman crushes bombs all the time to keep them from blowing up. Or at least occasionally. But it could have been poison, some type of electric shock, etc. I think Dan's death was staged to the point that it wasn't even a car crash at all.
If it was just a tracker, then couldn't Clark have protected Chloe when the goons came to get her? Would have been less painful that way. And why would people's dots turn red when they were killed, AND when the device was destroyed, if the death did not involve the device destroying itself?

[dcf]

Oh here's another thing. Lana was getting stalked by the papparazzi everywhere she went last week. This week she's in the middle of a crime scene and not one reporter is in sight...

Exactly what I was wondering too. Plus I was surprised there weren't any who had followed her to the bowling center. It would have been interesting hearing Lana explaining a picture of her and that guy helping her bowl to Lex.

Just before they put the needle in her stomach, you hear one of them say "Extracting DNA".
The needle in her stomach was for DNA.
They put the chip in her shoulder later, which we don't see.

I watched the episode again tonight and that scar is much higher and much more left than where the GPS was.
It's also quite big - if she had just got that scar the night before, I'm sure she would have noticed it.

I think it might just be one of AM's scars.
(Plus we never see her strapless?)

[Billy Jor-El]

A scar in her shoulder, or anywhere else for that matter, would likely cause residual pain the next day, yet she was oblivious to anything that happened. Ah, well, suspension of disbelief leads ther pack around SV, ya know...

[Mr. Wrong]

I may be naive but how do you implant a GPS tracker into someone's shoulder without leaving a mark that would at least be noticeable the next day? You would also think that Clark would have removed it at super speed which would greatly reduce any discomfort for Chloe. Baring that, Clark could have gone to the local drugstore and returned with tweezers in a split second. All facts that would detract from the drama of the moment however. Never the less, I'm getting a bit tired of Clark's being reactive instead of proactive. There is never any hesitation where Lana is in danger.

[STFanatic]

Lets just assume a metor freak from 33.1 has the power to implant things like that, sort of like being able to move through objects or people like Martain Manhunter.

Hey, it is Smallville, anything is possible ;)

Yeah.. thats it! ;)

An imaginative answer for sure, even if it does defy all laws of physics. However, why not show this individual performing this implant? That would have at least added some originality to the scene!

The next episode is a month away. I think that it would be almost completely healed by that point. It wasn't that big of a wound to begin with, and the heat would probably did heal it to a certain extent, wouldn't it?

Just because the episode doesn't air for a month doesn't mean there is a month gap in Smallville time. Smallville time is never consistent anyways. Neither are wounds/unjuries.

This is oh so true that it hurts to admit it. However, it didn't really seem like in the last episode that they were completely ready for the big day. Maybe that's because there was so much going on with Chloe that they didn't talk about the wedding as much. In my own world I was imagining that they would actually use this month as "real time" to finish up on wedding stuff.

It might make sense, but I doubt they'll do it. This would be a very crucial month for them to skip over. Lana keeps getting closer and closer. She would have to be a real idiot if she doesn't find out really soon. Making her go a month without another clue would make her look even more idiotic.

[Mr. Wrong]

Not necessarily. She was sure that CK was a meteor freak but has since learned that to be untrue. Don't forget she lost her virginity to CK and will be hard pressed to accept the thought that he could be an alien being!

Ok I found it starge that Chloe was wearing almost summer cloths while everyone else was wearing jackets and warmer cloths inside even:\

Well at the time, Lana was sure that Clark wasn't an alien. She knew that the meteor rocks were the alien's poison, and Clark picked one up right in front of her. That was proof that he wasn't an alien at the time. After seeing him do that, I would be very surprised if she thinks that his alien dad who talks to him in an ice cave in Antarctica, stripped him of his powers for one day because Clark saved Chloe, who had just found out about Clark's secret, and he never returned by sundown. Yeah, I don't think so :lol:

She might think he was an alien while they did it, or she might not even say anything at all. I know I would, but continuity and Smallville can be polar opposites at times.

[Mr. Wrong]

Even though CK inexplicably had his powers temporarily revoked by the disembodied spirit of his long dead father, he was and always will be an alien from another planet. A fact that anyone of character should have revealed to Lana before taking her virginity. After all, he no longer had any justification for keeping it a secret, other than his fear that she may be horrified by such a revelation! Although most of us may have wanted them to finally know each other in the biblical sense, it did detract from the character of Superman.

[wraith808]

I respectfully disagree. His being an alien that was now human had no bearing on their intimate relationship and in no way detracts from the character of Superman.

[jdavid1953]

Am I the only one that noticed something weird. Chloe came back with her memory apparently wiped about the whole probe ordeal of her being infected and I can't understand then how she remembers Clarks Secret. Did she get a partial wipe or what? I was expecting her to not remember anything about him afterwards. Anyone else get that feeling when they watched this episode? Is her problem just temporary amnesia? Because if thats the case she recoverd real fast if you ask me.

It was only a wipe of the past few hours. The wipe erased all memories from her abduction forward. She was in the Talon apartment when she got abducted, so once she got her memory wiped, she had no idea that she left the apartment. She had no idea what happened.

[jdavid1953]

If it was a wipe of only a few hours I need a shot of that.:D

[Mr. Wrong]

To jdavid1953
There was some incongruities in the thread but only CK had all of his memory blotted out. Everyone else had only short term memory loss.

To Wraith,
Respectfully, I have a daughter and I would be furious if she lost her virginity to someone who withheld the fact that he was from another planet. I don't care how good a guy he is. This was an act that Superman in reality would never have been a party to as the real Superman did not lie.
. Superman has to be held to a higher standard than we mere mortals and he could have maintained that standard by coming clean and then seeing if Lana was still of like mind.IMO

[dunkman]

I think the nicer way for Clark to deactivate the GPS device would've been to x-ray / heat vision (like the way he finished cooking the bird in Lois' oven in "Superman III" --I think that was the one...). That way it would leave no scar, she would feel no burning, & leaving a dead chip in her shoulder would be much less painful than pulling it out with his hands-- that was so unsanitary! And it was a pretty dumb cover to tell Jimmy they used a pocket knife. What if a kid who was watching tries that?-- they should've had some disclaimer. This wasn't necessarily a plot flaw as such, but it could've been done much better!

[Mr. Wrong]

Hello Dunkman,
I'm afraid you are forgetting that CK has not yet received his supertraining. He does not have that kind of precision with his heat vision. Besides, Chloe is not a bird to be cooked. In order to melt the GPS device it would require CK to cook her like a chicken. The pocket knife explanation was the only plausible answer they could come up with on the spur of the moment. Also, the show does offer a disclaimer as there is a warning at throughout that the show may not be suitable for younger kids. Hope that addresses your concerns.

[Bizarrolover]

The weirdtest part is that Chloe shows up at the Talon when Jimmy is hanging some flyers and when he asks her where she was, she says that she just woke up in her bed. Didn't they check her aparment that morning? No one stayed there in case she called or showed up? She lives upstairs the Talon, so why didn't they see Lex's henchmen carrying Chloe's unconscious body back to her apartment that same morning?


But here you'll find a future plothole.....Chloe got burned on the shoulder and had this hole in her, yet next episode there won't be a scar/scratch or even a blimp on that thing! you won't even know it happened!

They cut her shoulder open the night before, when they put the GPS inside her, but that didn't leave a scar either. I guess the writers are so used to Clark's miraculous recoveries that they forgot that it takes a few days for us humans to heal our wounds.
