3 corrected entries in season 4

(0 votes)

Travelers - S4-E5

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. (00:30:00)

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.

Adrift - S4-E1

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)

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.

Doppelganger - S4-E4

Corrected entry: When Dr. Jennifer Keller is talking about her dream (basically re-telling the scene from the movie Alien when the parasite came out of the body of Teyla Emmagan), Ronon Dex says, "It sounds like that movie," referring to the movie Alien. He did not come from Earth and yet he knows already about Alien the movie. Sure, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard could have told him about it, but it seems curious that he just recalls it so vividly without ever seeing the movie.

Correction: By season four Atlantis is no longer cut off, Daedalus makes regular supply runs from Earth. Ronon has doubtless seen dozens of movies by this point.

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)

The Siege (1) - S1-E19

Question: It was said earlier in the show that the Atlantis crew did not have enough power to dial Earth. Earth Control had no idea of the fate of the Atlantis crew until they sent the video package telling them what was going on, then Earth Control sent reinforcements to help out. My question is; if Earth Control was able to send reinforcements to Atlantis to help out, why could they not send a crew to check on the status of Atlantis? They knew the Atlantis crew made it in the 1st episode.

SAZOO1975

Chosen answer: Because the ZPM allowing them to dial Atlantis was being used at the Antarctic defense outpost. They couldn't risk making Earth vulnerable to attack from Anubis by depleting it with repeated dialing to the Pegasus galaxy. Once they knew Atlantis was in serious danger, they had no choice.

Grumpy Scot

ZPM from Antarctic was depleted in first dial, dial in Siege was done via ZPM from Egypt (SG-1: Moebius Part-1/2).
