* TrashTheSet: The Atlantis Gate Room takes damage from the Wraith Darts in the climax after the weapons barrage passes through the Stargate. In an aversion of StatusQuoIsGod, the damage to the Gate Room will remain in place for the remainder of Season One and into the beginning of Season Two (before the Expedition finally has the time and resources to make repairs).

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Wraith are significantly harder to kill here. They will remain tough in the future but not on the bullet sponge level they display in this episode. Nor do severed wraith limbs act separately in the rest of the series.

** Downplayed, but Rodney's characterization, as he's significantly less hyperactive and emotional here compared to what he'll become (or even how he was over on ''SG-1''). This is justified, as Rodney's role in the series was originally a completely different character (Dr. Benjamin Ingram) and his inclusion was a last-minute ThrowItIn between trouble casting the part and Hewlett coming in to audition (and because of the production crunch, there was no time to rewrite Ingram's scenes beyond just swapping in Rodney's name). Future episodes from this point forward ''will'' be written with Rodney and his pre-established characterization in mind.
