	Season 5 / Episode 4: - Aqua Arthur Curry: Maybe you ought to stick to the shallow end until you know how to swim, gorgeous. Lois Lane: Maybe you ought to try a breath mint, surfer boy.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: The water level in the glass that Lex taunts Aquaman with changes levels throughout the scene
FACT: After Aquaman saves Lois from the lake and is performing CPR on her, there are three mistakes. First he immediately begins chest compressions without checking to see if Lois has a pulse. This could actually stop her heart if it was beating on it's own. His hand positioning is also too low. It is supposed to be higher up, more centered so as to not snap off a small bone that extends off the base of the sternum. He gives Lois mouth to mouth without checking to see if she is breathing.

TRIVIA

In the fifth season episode "Aqua" Arthur curry/Aquaman is wearing mostly orange and green, the same colors as the outfit of his comic book namesake.
As a joke, Arthur Curry suggests to Clark that they start a "Junior Lifeguard Association," prompting Clark to reply that he's not "ready for the JLA quite yet," a reference to the Justice League of America, of which Superman is a member.
