Trivia

In the final episode, 'Enemy at the gates' Sam Carter says that the new ship is to be named the General George Hammond in memory of the character Hammond who had died of a heart attack. This is a tribute to Don S. Davies, who played Hammond, who sadly died of a heart attack in June 2008, shortly after filming Stargate Continium. See more...

Factual error: Anytime a character fires a missile at an airborne target, it's invariably from an M136 antitank launcher. The M136 is designed to hit relatively slow moving ground vehicles and is useless against fast moving airborne targets. (This is because used M136 tubes can't be reloaded and are very cheap to use as props).

Continuity: In Season 5, Episode 11, "The Lost Tribe," when the Wraith have taken over the Daedalus, Dr. Keller's hair changes from being wavy to being completely straight and back to wavy.

Factual error: Season 4 Episode 16 "Trio": When Sam breaks her leg, Dr. Keller discusses with McKay the possibility of internal bleeding, then returns to splint her leg and offer her some ibuprofen for pain. A doctor concerned about internal bleeding would never offer a patient ibuprofen, as it inhibits blood clotting.

Continuity: In the second season, episode "Condemned", in the beginning when the crew is in the jumper, Ronan Dex has his hair tied back. When they land on the island and walk into the camp, his hair is down, and then they have to run back to the jumper when the prisoners start shooting at them. When they get back in the jumper, Ronan's hair is tied up again.

Deliberate "mistake": In season 4 episode 17, "Midway": As the Wraith "stun bomb" activates at the SGC and everyone falls to the ground, it is visible how everyone uses their arms to dampen the fall.

Factual error: In season 4, episode 1, "Adrift," at 32:22 when Sheppard and Zelenka are repairing the damaged hyperdrive control array, Zelenka pulls a crystal out of a panel and then lets go of it, the crystal flies up and out of his hand when they are in a zero gravity environment.

Plot hole: In early episodes, when Sheppard and his team are attempting to capture a Wraith, they ambush him and his soldiers with tasers. The taser just irritates the Wraith. Why don't they have Zat guns? (The real reason, of course, is that Wraith stunners will be introduced in 2 or 3 episodes.) But it makes no sense to not bring such a useful non-lethal weapon along into unknown territory.

Other: In the third season, episode "Phantoms", the crew members are in a forest having hallucinations because of the wraith machine. Sheppard is hallucinating that he is in the desert during the war helping an injured soldier, so when he's walking around why isn't he bumping into trees? He sees nothing but sand, even mentions it at one point, but they are in the forest and he walks around pretty freely.

Plot hole: Why do Dr. Beckett and Dr. Keller use so much Earth medicine? While the Ancients may have evolved past disease and genetic defects, they would still need treatments for physical injuries. And we know such advanced medical machines exist, scanners have been shown on screen and the Go'auld reverse-engineered their sarcophagi from an Ancient device. While they may be reluctant to use unknown machines for surgery or disease, surely bruises and broken bones should be healed instantly!
