* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The IOA, as usual. When the time comes to select a 'liaison' to remain in Atlantis with the Ancients, instead of sending Weir (who desperately wants the job) or any of the Atlantis scientists who are familiar with the city, they send their stooge Woolsey, whom even the Ancients can't stand.
** Justified by the fact that the Ancients specifically requested that Weir NOT take the role.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterOverlap: As part of the SGC's support staff, Sergent Siler finally crosses over to the spinoff. This is thus not only Siler's only appearance on ''Atlantis'', but also his only appearance outside of ''SG-1''.


Added DiffLines:

* RequiredSpinoffCrossover: After the SpinoffSendoff in the Pilot (and his role in locating the Lost City), Jack O'Neill finally gets to go to Atlantis.

* SmugSuper: The Ancients. Their arrogance that the Replicators ''can't'' attack them ends up being what leads to their demise. It's almost as if ordering the Atlantis team to leave and turning down their polite offer of information about the present state of the galaxy, the Wraith, and that the Replicators are capable of now modifying their base code, might have been the most downright ''stupid'' thing to do? [[SarcasmMode Who knew?!]]

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuityOverlap: This episode is running parallel to mid-Season 10 of ''SG-1''. So, the Ori Crusade is now in full swing over in the parent show and acknowledged in dialogue (when a post-Atlantis Sheppard is leading an SG team). This is also the first explicit mention of the Ori on ''Atlantis''.

* RedshirtArmy: The Ancients certainly don't last long after retaking the city. Particularly since it seems that the Asuran takeover of Atlantis took less than a ''[[CurbStompBattle day]]''. Compare this to the similar circumstance encountered in "The Siege", where the Atlantis team held out against ''multiple'' Wraith ships, for ''twice'' as long and with far ''less'' resources and knowledge to work with. Can be justified, in that: the Ancients expected the Asurans to back down upon realizing Ancients inhabited the city (not knowing the Asurans reprogrammed themselves so they can harm Ancients); the fact that the Asurans were much more advanced than the Wraith; and that the Asurans knew the design of the city, including the proper areas to strike for maximum effect.

* ScrewYouElves: ''Woolsey'' of all people delivers one to the Ancients. When they dismiss the suggestion of Humanity remaining in Atlantis by pointing out that they accidentally awoke the Wraith, he politely counters that Ancients accidentally ''created'' them in the first place. The Ancients have no reply.

* UngratefulBastard: The Ancients. Lampshaded by Sheppard, who remarks that to them, it's like coming home and finding someone else is sitting on their couch. Though he still thinks that they should probably have left them in the intergalactic void.
