* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was it merely coincidence that the alternate Apophis was the last of the opposing System Lords to fall? Or did Ba'al intentionally save him for last? After all, it ''was'' Apophis going host hunting in the original timeline that set off the chain of events which brought down the Goa'uld Empire. The execution of Apophis is a symbolic and necessary death cementing Ba'al's final victory. But knowing Ba'al's personality, killing Apophis last could also easily have been for his own amusement.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: By the time ''Continuum'' came out, the TimeTravel & AlternateUniverse plot archetypes had been well and truly tapped out and Continuum rehashes the same "solar flare" and "fix the future" plots used multiple times on ''SG-1'' & ''Atlantis'', not to mention in science fiction in general, considering popular shows like ''Star Trek'' had also done a lot of these types of episodes with a far bigger audience a decade earlier. It doesn't really do anything new apart from it involving a Goa'uld instead of a random flare or Ancient technology.

* RootingForTheEmpire: Many fans seem to ''love'' the idea of Ba'al ruling Earth and secretly wished he'd won, probably because he promised a benevolent governance. It's open for debate how sincere he was. While he certainly didn't want to ''destroy'' Earth like all the other Goa'uld, there's a very real possibility he just wanted to covertly take over Earth without having to fight humanity forever, and he'd make them all slaves in the long run anyway.

He does promise the rest of the System Lords new slaves and host bodies from Earth's population; apparently he wanted to arrange for some sort of tributary system.

Added DiffLines:

* StockFootageFailure: Even though there are a lot of CGI scenes including an aerial battle, some of the scenes involving the [=F15's=] are comprised of stock footage that obviously doesn't match. Even though the dialogue suggests the planes are loaded with minimal weapons and with multiple fuel tanks, the stock footage scenes show them with various loadouts ranging from minimal weapons but no fuel tanks, to nothing at all. The stock footage scenes are also varied in terms of quality, some look particularly low resolution or zoomed in.
