Epiphany - S2-E12

Character mistake: Rodney says that one hour in real time would give them months inside the field. This is incorrect because if the ratio of time were 1:250 as stated before, one hour would only convert to 250 hours, which is 10 days and 10 hours.

The Return, Part 1 - S3-E10

Character mistake: General Landry says that the Asurans would need to rewrite McKay's macro to gate to any planet in the Milky Way. In fact they wouldn't have to bother with the macro, because they could simply gate directly to the Milky Way from a ZPM-powered Atlantis.

Echoes - S3-E12

Character mistake: It is mentioned the previous solar flare was 15000 years ago, and Shepard says that the ancients were in the middle of a war with the wraiths, but as stated in previous episodes the war lasted 200 years and ended 10000 years ago. (00:31:30 - 00:38:10)

Tao of Rodney - S3-E15

Character mistake: In the first few moments of the episode, as the survey team walks through the halls, the German member of the team is wearing his flag patch upside-down.

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)

Hot Zone - S1-E13

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.
