Corrected entry: When Dr. Weir is talking to Ronan in the combat room about wanting to stay in Atlantis, she mentions in a conversation "Major" Shepherd. She should have said "Lt. Col." Shepherd, as he was promoted just before the "Intruder" episode(S2 ep2). She should know this because it was she who argued that he be promoted.

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.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Did I mention that I know almost everything about almost everything?
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.
Question: The protective suits Teyla & Sheppard put on to keep them from getting infected have a "helmet" piece that does not appear to have an airtight seal; the bottom of the hood just sort of lies on top of the body suit (it's not even tucked in). Is there some way they would be protected from the airborne virus even with what appears to be a very viable opening?
Answer: Those are actually suits that protect from hazardous chemicals. They are cheaper for the prop department and look nearly the same as biohazard suits. A real biohazard suit would indeed have a helmet that seals to the neck.

Correction: In the episode Major Shepherd gets promoted to Lt. Col., and in the next few episodes after, other characters are still getting used to his change in title. After calling someone Major for such a long time having to call some one Lt. Col. instead can make easy mistakes. So it is most likely she said Major automatically because it was what she is used to. As there is no set time period between episodes it is hard to say whether they should be used to his new title or not.
