Corrected entry: When Sheppard and Zelenka are repairing the damaged hyperdrive control array, Zelenka pulls a crystal out of a panel and then lets go of it, the crystal flies up and out of his hand when they are in a zero gravity environment. (00:32:20)

Starring: Jason Momoa, David Hewlett, Joe Flanigan, Rachel Luttrell
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).
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: Richard Kind who plays Lucius Lavin in this episode also appears as Gary Meyers in the original Stargate movie.
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 control crystal floats away because the city is moving through space and the crystal is no longer connected to the city in some way. This means that even though Zelenka just let it go the crystal should float off as Zelenka is connected to the moving city by the magnetic boots of his suit and the crystal is not.
