* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted - initially the Colonials and the SG teams can't understand each other, except for Daniel because he's, well, [[CunningLinguist Daniel]]. A translator is eventually hammered out.
** After the initial Terran - Colonial language difficulties are played with, though, in typical [[Series/StargateSG1 SG1]] fashion the trope is played completely straight.
* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: [[ArmorPiercingAttack armor piercing]] explosive rounds, meant for killing Cylons, do nasty things to relatively poorly protected Jaffa.
