Corrected entry: As Larrin is looking for the wraith aboard the Lantian warship she is using an Ancient life signs detector, which she should not be able to use as she doesn't possess the Ancient gene necessary to operate Lantian technology, hence her need to keep John Sheppard around in the first place.

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: 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: 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: McKay states in one of the first episodes that the Lantean lifesigns detectors (along with other pieces of technology) are able to be used by anyone once activated by someone with the ATA gene.
