Stargate: Atlantis

Sateda - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: During the episode Ronon has flashbacks and keeps referring to "the gate" when trying to make his wife leave. It was only after Ronon met the team from Atlantis he begun using the term Stargate as most (if not all) prople in Pegasus refer to the Stargate as the ring of the ancestors.

McKay and Mrs. Miller - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When the Atlantis team finds out that the experiment has caused problems in another universe, McKay's sister says to Rodney, something like,"You said that the chances of connecting to another universe that was inhabited were astronomically small." It was in fact Carter that said that.

The Game - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: After returning from the Daedalus, McKay talks to Nola about how he had been a god to them the past years. In the shots filmed from his front, the standard radio headset is visible in his ear. In the shots from behind, it is gone.

The Game - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: In several scenes (mostly on the planet) we see characters reacting to tactical information from the oracle as if it's displayed in real time. However, the units in the display are moving far more quickly than they could in real-time.

Show generally

Factual error: Anytime a character fires a missile at an airborne target, it's invariably from an M136 antitank launcher. The M136 is designed to hit relatively slow moving ground vehicles and is useless against fast moving airborne targets. (This is because used M136 tubes can't be reloaded and are very cheap to use as props).

Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: And you know this because...?
Dr. Rodney McKay: What, I'm not allowed to have intuition?
Elizabeth Weir, Ph. D.: You? No.

Trivia: In the final episode, 'Enemy at the gates' Sam Carter says that the new ship is to be named the General George Hammond in memory of the character Hammond who had died of a heart attack. This is a tribute to Don S. Davies, who played Hammond, who sadly died of a heart attack in June 2008, shortly after filming Stargate Continium.

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.
