The Warrior - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: When Teal'c and K'tano are fighting and K'tano says "is that the best you can do", you see Teal'c's training staff on the ground and it's already broken, even though that hasn't happened yet. When Teal'c stands up, that's when K'tano breaks his staff.

Summit (1) - S5-E15
Plot hole: During the briefing at the Tok'ra base about the deadly symbiotic poison, Ren'al says that dying symbiotes release their own toxin which is just as deadly to the hosts. Yet in other episodes when a symbiote dies in the host's body, the host doesn't die, even without medical treatment. For example, the whole infected town of Steveston is just fine when all the symbiotes are killed (s06e05).

Trivia: In this episode, Orlin is a powerful ascended being of energy who becomes human, but then is ascended again and once again becomes a powerful being of energy. This episode also introduces Frank Simmons, played by John de Lancie. Lancie played Q in Star Trek: TNG, a powerful being of energy who becomes human (as punishment) and then once again becomes a powerful being of energy.

Continuity mistake: When the would-be robber takes his gun out, he places his hands on his head. But in the next shot, at least his left hand is no longer on his head. It's back up in the next shot.

Other mistake: When Niki looks at the Cadillac's registration, it says the license plate number is "307RTH." When she opens the trunk, you can see the plate and it's "329OCX."
10th Jun 2021
Stupidity: When Jonas says he saw a creature go through the walls, people want to assume he must be hallucinating. Yes they sweep the base, but Carter questions its ability to pass through solid matter as if she's never seen that happen. When Jonas sees a creature again on the device with Carter there, she gives a look like he's going crazy rather than at least try to use a TER to scan for it. Plot wise it seems this is done just so O'Neill can leave the base and spread the "infection."

Unnatural Selection (2) - S6-E12
Other mistake: When Thor reveals to SG-1 that the Replicators have reversed the time dilation device, he says time is moving at a factor of "10 squared" (100 times faster than real time). Carter says that in the hour that passed, 4 days have passed for the Replicators (which is correct), but then says depending on when they did it, hundreds of years could have passed. But that's not possible since that means years in real time would have passed. But the Asgard didn't set this trap years ago, just recently.

Question: Is it ever mentioned who is in charge of SGC when General Hammond isn't there? By that I mean, when he's home sleeping or taking a few days off, not when he steps down or resigns in certain episodes. Wouldn't SGC have to be operationally 24-hrs a day, especially when there's so many "unscheduled" incoming wormholes? Would Hammond be required to live on base? In real life, are military bases operational 24-hrs a day? Do generals take "shifts", or does the highest ranking officer become in charge?

Revelations - S5-E22
Trivia: The voice of Heimdall was done by Teryl Rothery, who plays Dr. Janet Fraiser.
10th Jun 2021
Trivia: The voice of Loki is provided by Peter DeLuise, the director of many SG-1 episodes, including this episode.
9th Jun 2021
Trivia: Near the end when the alien ship is being filmed, Martin says they (Wormhole Extreme) are going to win an Emmy for this, visual effects category. At that point in the series, Stargate SG-1 had been nominated for 5 Emmys (4 in the visual effect category) but never won. The show went on to receive 4 more Emmy nominations in the visual effect category, without ever winning an Emmy.

Question: When Colonel O'Neill is telling the scientist not to go after the unknown alien and Teal'c tells them to listen to him, he says "thank you, Rocco." Who or what is O'Neill referencing?
Answer: In almost every gangster move from the 1930's, there was always a guy named "Rocco." A dumb but lovable guy who always agrees with the Boss. When everyone disagrees, he always says "Listen to the Boss." or "Do what the Boss says."

Trivia: Some of the other boats with pun names were "Luna Sea" (lunacy), "Keel-N-Time" (killing time), "Brain Waves", and "Swift Passage." Not only does swift passage mean quick, Jonathan Swift was the author of the original "Gulliver's Travels" book.
2nd Jun 2021
Deliberate mistake: At the beginning of the end credits, the newspaper article just repeats itself. Plus, it has a weird shift of going from a first person account to a third person review of the original book (including mentioning George I was King of England at the time of the writing of the Travels).
2nd Jun 2021
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Darcy and Gulliver are about to kiss before being interrupted, Darcy is holding the report in her right hand. When Dan walks in, the report is in her left hand.
2nd Jun 2021
Trivia: In the film, Amanda Peet plays Darcy Silverman. Peet also starred in the movie "Saving Silverman" as Judith who was engaged to the character Darren Silverman. Jack Black (Gulliver) also starred in "Saving Silverman"

Question: Near the beginning, when Alfred sees Bruce is not in bed, he goes to the Wayne Enterprises private property. There a weirdly shaped metal structure that looks like it's tilting over and what looks like a dilapidated building in the middle tilted to the side. What is the structure supposed to be?
Answer: It looks like a large panel on the side of the huge crane. I think it has openings for access to the crane machinery or something like that. Maybe a crane operator could describe it better but that's what it looks like to me.
24th May 2021
Trivia: The car Bruce Wayne drives to the hotel is a Lamborghini Murciélago. Murciélago means "bat" in Italian.

Narrator: Ready for a story about superheroes? Ugh, more TV superheroes. Just what the world needs. Be honest, have you hung yourselves yet? Or, what if I told you this was actually a story about super-zeroes? Losers. Achingly pathetic meta-human goose eggs. How about it? Ready to feel better about your own miserable lives for the next hour or so? Follow me. Our story begins, as such stories do, with a visit to a Nazi. I'm sorry. Cobbler.

Answer: The commanding General is always in charge, but generals never live on base (in fact they rarely command bases, that is Colonel's work). One would have to assume he has competent officers in charge of day to day activities; at one point in the TV series there are FOUR Colonels in the staff including Sam and Shepard. The General is usually called in when something is going to happen, as generals usually work at a field HQ or at the Pentagon.
