7* AnachronicOrder: First part.
8* 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.
9* ContinuityCameo:
10** 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.

20* HiddenInPlainSight: The United States Air Force embedded an Ancient mathematical proof into an {{MMORPG}}.
21* 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.
22* MadeOfExplodium: [=P4X-351=] has a core made of Naquadria, one of the most explosive materials known in the Stargate series. It's not
23* MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRoleplayingGame: ''Prometheus'', a multiplayer game that Eli solves a puzzle in, winning him a trip to the ''George Hammond''.
24* RefusalOfTheCall: Eli refuses to sign a non-disclosure agreement from General O'Neill after completing an ancient mathematical proof embedded in a video game.
