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.

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).

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: 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: 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.
