* {{Foreshadowing}}: Given the Icarus Project was top-secret, O'Neill and Carter rightly conclude this was no Lucian random attack: The base's location was compromised. How and who leaked it (and whether there's a traitor aboard ''Destiny'') won't be revealed until late in the Season.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: ''SG-1'' established that the Lucian Alliance was a galactic-spanning organization with multiple branches/cells. So, toppling Netan in their final ''SG-1'' appearance did not ultimately bring down the organization. While it's not stated, it's also no hard to imagine that the Lucians have had free rein to regroup and expand their operations with the Free Jaffa Nation weakened and rebuilding from the Ori Crusade.

* AnachronicOrder: First part.
* CellPhonesAreUseless: When Eli gets beamed up to the ''George Hammond'', he pulls out his phone, telling Rush that he should probably call his mom. Rush tells him that his cell phone probably won't work in Earth orbit.
* ContinuityCameo:
** 3 of the SG-1 Team members show up; Jack O'Neill is running Homeworld Security, Samantha Carter is the commander of the USS ''George Hammond'', and Daniel Jackson created a series of instructional videos for new recruits to the Stargate Program.
** Dr. Bill Lee was the guy who swapped bodies with Rush.
** One of the first stops that Destiny makes on it's flight plan is the [[Series/StargateAtlantis Pegasus galaxy]].
* ContinuityNod:
** Naquadria, a highly unstable radioactive isotope of Naquadah, plays a key role in getting the Stargate on Icarus base to connect with ''Destiny''.
** The Tau'ri have built long-range communication devices modeled after the ones discovered in ''Series/StargateSG1''.
** On at least two [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E17Solitudes other]] [[Recap/StargateSG1S2E15TheFifthRace occasions]], when the stargate drew more power than normal, travelers were thrown out of the wormhole at high speed.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: The fate of the planet that dialed ''Destiny'', [=P4X-351=]. Justified because the planet's core is made of Naquadria, a highly unstable isotope of Naquadah that was shown to be highly radioactive and explosive even in small quantities.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Icarus Base.
* ExactWords: O'Neill tells Eli quite frankly that that if he doesn't sign the non-disclosure agreement, they'll beam him up to their spaceship. Eli shrugs it off and shuts the door on him, and gets beamed aboard the ''George Hammond'' as he walks up the stairs back to his room.
* HiddenInPlainSight: The United States Air Force embedded an Ancient mathematical proof into an {{MMORPG}}.
* InWorkingOrder: The Destiny was built by the Ancients who were living on Earth for their own purposes over a million years ago, but it is mostly still functioning, if badly in need of maintenance.
* MadeOfExplodium: [=P4X-351=] has a core made of Naquadria, one of the most explosive materials known in the Stargate series. It's not
* MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRoleplayingGame: ''Prometheus'', a multiplayer game that Eli solves a puzzle in, winning him a trip to the ''George Hammond''.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Eli refuses to sign a non-disclosure agreement from General O'Neill after completing an ancient mathematical proof embedded in a video game.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Eli gets beamed up anyway.
