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.

Visible crew/equipment: After taking the enzyme, Mckay is talking to himself as he dials the gate. When he goes to push the centre button, an arm moves on the opposite side of the DHD. (00:09:35)
Dr. Rodney McKay: All I know is that she's not who she's pretending to be.
Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: And you know this because...?
Dr. Rodney McKay: What, I'm not allowed to have intuition?
Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: You? No.
Trivia: The show's two hour premier broke the SCI-FI's ratings record by attracting over 4.2 million viewers. It was also the most watched cable program that day.
Question: Why can't they use every last iota of energy they've got and dial earth and ask them to send them any ZPM's that they could find?
Answer: Because even all 4 Naquadah generators (one was destroyed) together is only enough to dial Earth for approximately 1.2 seconds (As seen in the episode "Letter from Pegasus"). Further, if Earth had found a ZPM, they would dial Atlantis and let them know. After all, the SGC has no other use for a ZPM than to dial Atlantis.

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.
