Doppelganger - S4-E4
Corrected entry: When Dr. Jennifer Keller is talking about her dream (basically re-telling the scene from the movie Alien when the parasite came out of the body of Teyla Emmagan), Ronon Dex says, "It sounds like that movie," referring to the movie Alien. He did not come from Earth and yet he knows already about Alien the movie. Sure, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard could have told him about it, but it seems curious that he just recalls it so vividly without ever seeing the movie.

Corrected entry: In this episode, the replicators invade the newly Lantaen-controlled Atlantis and mind-probe the Lantaens, who easily succumb to this technique, before killing them. Given the brief amount of control Daniel Jackson was able to exercise over the replicator swarm in Stargate SG1 when he was also enduring a mind probe, and given that although previously-ascended Daniel Jackson still possessed only standard human brain physiology, it seems far more likely to me that the Lantaens, with hyper-evolved brain physiology and incredible mental discipline, would have easily controlled the replicators and ended both the immediate problem as well as the entire series.
Correction: Yes, but Pegasus human-form replicators are far more advanced than Milky Way replicators. They have evolved almost to the point of ascension and are mentally the equal of Lantaens.

Corrected entry: When they remove the alien bug from Sheppard's neck, Ford tries to revive him with the defibrillator. As it fails, they agree to move Sheppard through the event horizon of the stargate, because this would prevent him from dying, and Teyla pulls Sheppard into the gate. The problem is that everything what goes through the gate is dematerialized, so Teyla couldn't pull Sheppard into the gate, since by the time he is pulled into the gate completely, Teyla has long been disappeared. (00:34:35)
Correction: The Stargates use technology that is so advanced it's almost magic. Since people do walk through them and pull things through them, the Ancients clearly designed them to make it possible. After all, how useful would they be if you couldn't take anything through them but what you are carrying?

Corrected entry: It is stated throughout the series that the stargate dematerializes anything which passes through the event horizon. How then are people able to step into the gate? Their legs dematerializes immediately after passing the event horizon (and the stargate doesn't transmit the leg until the whole body is dematerialized), so that leg couldn't support their body when they step. They would literally fall into the stargate.

Corrected entry: After Rod has been sent back to his original universe, the team checks how much power of the ZPM they have wasted. The monitor reads "ZPM Module Depleted". This makes no sense, since ZPM is an abbreviation for Zero Point Module. Therefore the monitor should read "ZPM depleted" and not "Zero Point Module Module depleted".
Correction: Can't really call that an error. People talk about their PIN number all the time for example. Your Personal Identification Number number? At worst it's an error on the part of the person who programmed the Ancient/Terran interface program, but not even significant enough to count as a character mistake.

Corrected entry: When Ford escapes from the Atlantis base, he is flying a puddle jumper, which requires the Ancient gene. However, in the season one episode 'Hot Zone', Ford says he does not have the gene, because the gene therapy failed to work. Therefore he shouldn't have been able to fly the puddle jumper.
Correction: The original gene therapy is stated by Sheppard to be 48% effective. Dr. Beckett is almost certainly refining it constantly. It's not necessarily an all-or-nothing, you-only-get-one-try treatment. Some Ancient technology only requires the ATA gene to activate it, after that, anyone can operate it.

Corrected entry: After returning from Atlantis base Dr. McKay says he landed the jumper a little outside of the range of the EM-field. At the end of the show, when the field is reactivated, he says he found a way to increased the range of the device by some 50 percent. As the jumper has been landed outside of the area previously covered by the field, he should now be inside it again, however the jumper still is able to start (you can hear the engines coming on-line).
Correction: There is nothing to suggest the EM field is spherical with the generator at the center. McKay could have enlarged it in a triangular shape with the kids village at one point, leaving the jumper safely outside it.

Correction: By season four Atlantis is no longer cut off, Daedalus makes regular supply runs from Earth. Ronon has doubtless seen dozens of movies by this point.
