Aurora - S2-E9

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.

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.

Duet - S2-E4

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.

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.

Siege, Part 3 - S2-E1

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.

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.

The Hive (2) - S2-E11

Corrected entry: In this episode, Sheppard says something about the puddle jumpers going into autopilot as soon as they enter the gate room; yet we have seen the puddle jumpers move about in the gate room not on autopilot, such as in "The Return". This could be that they disabled the autopilot, but the way it happens with the Wraith Dart seems like you can't shut it off.

Correction: The wraith dart probably does not have the ability to shut off the automatic autopilot, but a ship from atlantis probably would be able to.

Critical Mass - S2-E13

Corrected entry: If they can do the "twilight bark" thing with transmissions, then why can't they do it so send people? (Obviously using another planet instead of the Daedalus.) If they could do that, they wouldn't have needed the ZPM to get there in the first place. They could have taken it with them and used it in the wraith attack at the end of season one, then they would have 2 ZPMs.

Correction: There are no gates between galaxies so it wouldn't be possible to send people back without a ZPM, the distance is too great.

The Hive (2) - S2-E11

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)

Season 1 generally

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.
