* StatusQuoIsGod: Minor aversion with the damage the Gate Room sustained from the Wraith Darts weapons fire in the preceding episode. The Expedition does not have the means to make repairs yet, so the damage is still there. In-story, the Expedition won't be able to patch up the Gate Room until early Season Two.

The "Alternate Timeline" example is from a different episode.
Deleted line(s) 21 (click to see context) :
* AlternateTimeline: [[TomatoInTheMirror The universe the series takes place is one]] as Rodney explains that one of the theories of time-travel is the act of going creates divergence point. Alternatively, you can say the 10,000 year-old Elizabeth is from one that resulted from putting in safeguards to save her people.
Added DiffLines:
* ItCanThink: The shadow entity at first seems to be mindlessly going after energy sources to feed on. The Ancients had originally contained it within a device designed to emit an energy signal that would lure it in and trap it, but when the expedition members try using the device to trap it again, as soon as the entity gets close enough to see it, it immediately flees the other way, showing that it's smart enough not to be tricked the same way again.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Ancient shield. It covers you in an impenetrable force field, but also prevents you from eating or drinking anything while it's active. However, it's meant to be controlled mentally and an Ancient could take it off as easily as breathing. [=McKay=], lacking such training, can't figure that part out until Weir psyches him into making it turn off out of fear.

Added DiffLines:
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Weir mentioning that the Ancients had installed failsafe into their other technologies, specifically citing the city rising to the surface when the power reached critical levels. Both ''[=SG-1=]'' and this series will show the Ancients were NeglectfulPrecursors ''at best'' and had no intention of returning to Atlantis so the fact such a failsafe was in place seems a bit hinky. [[spoiler: The failsafe was put into place by the Ancient Janus and a time-traveling Weir to save the Expedition from being killed when they arrived and the shield failed as revealed in the episode "Before I Sleep".]]

* NonMaliciousMonster: The shadow entity isn't actually evil, it's just hungry (and possibly a bit pissed off) after being left sealed away for over 10,000 years after the Ancients abandoned Atlantis. Teyla is the first to consider that the entity probably doesn't even want to be in Atlantis anymore and would be willing to go somewhere else if given the opportunity.

* RecycledScript: This episode originally aired back-to-back with the SG-1 episode "Lockdown", which also featured an (unrelated) inky black [[EnergyBeings Energy Being]] haunting the team's base. The two were also disposed of the same way — through the Stargate.
