Revealing mistake: When they are escaping in the beginning of the episode, watch Rodney dial. As he finishes, one of the DHD address panels pops out and falls off.
Revealing mistake: One of the dots used to "steady" the CG within a shot remains in the shot for a protracted period of time. Its a blue dot towards the bottom right of the screen. (00:17:55)

Dr. Rodney McKay: Using power... using power... using power.
Trivia: The show's two hour premier broke the SCI-FI's ratings record by attracting over 4.2 million viewers. It was also the most watched cable program that day.
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.
