Childhood's End - S1-E6

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).

Christoph Galuschka

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.

Grumpy Scot

Correction: It is not an error if a character is wearing a necklace that does not match the character's own initials. There are many plausible reasons to wear such a neclace, such as the neclace belonged to someone she loved or missed.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Dr. Weir says that the Atlantis gate is the only one that can dial back to the Milky Way from Pegasus galaxy. SG-1 has already confirmed that any stargate can travel intergalactically if it has the power. That's what the 8th chevron does. You need a Naquadah generator or Zero Point Module to provide the extra power though.

Grumpy Scot

Correction: This is answered in episode #108, all the Pegasus Stargates are missing a crystal except for the Atlantis gate, this crystal allows it to dial to other galaxies.

Sol Parker

Correction: Why would you say that? While it's not a good idea to store a gun in a loaded condition, people accidently shoot themselves almost everyday with "unloaded" guns.

Sateda - S3-E4

Revealing mistake: When they are escaping in the beginning of the episode, watch Rodney dial. As he finishes, one of the DHD address panels pops out and falls off.

The Siege (1) - S1-E19

Question: It was said earlier in the show that the Atlantis crew did not have enough power to dial Earth. Earth Control had no idea of the fate of the Atlantis crew until they sent the video package telling them what was going on, then Earth Control sent reinforcements to help out. My question is; if Earth Control was able to send reinforcements to Atlantis to help out, why could they not send a crew to check on the status of Atlantis? They knew the Atlantis crew made it in the 1st episode.

SAZOO1975

Chosen answer: Because the ZPM allowing them to dial Atlantis was being used at the Antarctic defense outpost. They couldn't risk making Earth vulnerable to attack from Anubis by depleting it with repeated dialing to the Pegasus galaxy. Once they knew Atlantis was in serious danger, they had no choice.

Grumpy Scot

ZPM from Antarctic was depleted in first dial, dial in Siege was done via ZPM from Egypt (SG-1: Moebius Part-1/2).
