* TwoDSpace: Averted. When Ford's group finds themselves in the eye of the storm and Ford sees this as an opportunity to fly back to Atlantis. Beckett protests because the storm is still around them and they can't fly through it, but Ford counters that they're in a spaceship; just go up and over.



* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Kolya very visibly wants to kill Weir and [=McKay=], particularly after Sheppard kills almost his entire company of reinforcements, but they're the only ones who can get the shield up. If they die, he loses Atlantis.
* TheCavalry: Kolya brings in reinforcements, but Sheppard manages to get the iris closed before most of them get through. [[SoundOnlyDeath All you hear]] are splatting sounds.

Atlantis. Kolya later turns this on Sheppard to get him to fix the sabotaged generators, as Weir's life is forfeit if the plan to save the city is no longer viable.
* TheCavalry: Kolya brings in reinforcements, calls for reinforcements (sixty soldiers, to be precise), but Sheppard manages to get sneaks into the control room and closes the iris closed before most of them get through. moments after they've dialed in. Only five make it through, while the rest are only heard as [[SoundOnlyDeath All you hear]] are splatting sounds.sounds]].



* DivideAndConquer: Kolya correctly deduces that Sheppard is sabotaging the generators so the Genii will be forced to break into teams to repair the ones he's sabotaged and guard those that remain. He at first refuses to take the bait, but when Sheppard disables power to the broken grounding station before [=McKay=] can repair it, he has no choice but to dedicate men to fixing the problem. This plays right into Sheppard's hands, leaving the gate room lightly guarded so he can stop them from bringing reinforcements.



* SensorSuspense: Ladon is able to use the city's internal sensors to track Sheppard, but the display doesn't account for height. Sheppard sets up an ambush by dropping smoke grenades and clinging to the ceiling, which confuses the soldiers when they're told that they're right on top of him. Cue bullets and their signals vanishing from the display.



* StupidEvil: Kolya screws himself over big-time by pretending to kill Weir, as Sheppard now has no reason to believe the plan is viable and goes on a killing spree
