Hide and Seek - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Right at the end, after the entity has gone through the gate, we get an overhead shot of McKay lying on the ground in front of the gate. His legs are stretched out straight. In the next shot, one of his legs is bent. He's unconscious, so he shouldn't have moved.

Suspicion - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Wraith attack on the Mainland, Sheppard is stunned and falls with his right hand on his gun near his hip, but when McKay and the other guy grab him, to pull him to the gate, both the gun and his right arm are above his head.

Poisoning the Well - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Before Merell enters the cage to be fed on by the Wraith, his collar is open. Next shot when he enters the cage the collar is fully buttoned. (00:28:08)

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.
