* ActorAllusion: Before leaving for [=P5S-117=], Dr. Felger is seen packing a roll of duct tape in his backpack, a nod to Patrick [=McKenna's=] role as Harold Green on ''Series/TheRedGreenShow''.



* GunshipRescue: Before Baal's Jaffa can finish them off, Carter and Felger are saved by O'Neill and Teal'c, who are piloting a stolen Al'kesh.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Stranded offworld and under Goa'uld attack, O'Neill eventually gets bored of waiting for Felger to fix the problem. Instead, his team somehow manages to steal an al'kesh, fly it to the planet where Carter and Felger are, and rescue them.

* DisabilityImmunity: Because SGC has no DHD for their stargate and instead has a kludged system to operate the stargate which uses the manual dialing interface on the gate itself (which previously has proven to be balky since not all error codes the gate may generate are understood), their stargate becomes the only one in the galaxy that can reliably dial out to the intended destination.

* TranquilFury: General Hammond never once raises his voice, but this is probably the angriest you'll ever see him.
* YouHave48Hours: Hammond initially tells Felger that he has 24 hours to come up with a viable project for the program or he's fired.

-->'''Carter:''' Okay, I admit it: he's a complete screw-up. He makes rash decisions based on sketchy evidence, he's clumsy in the lab, he's ''always'' late, and quite frankly, it wouldn't kill him to ease up on the aftershave, but the fact is, sir, he's at Stargate Command because he's a ''brilliant'' scientist. And no-one understands that virus better than he does.
* CallBack: In "[[Recap/StargateSG1S6E8TheOtherGuys The Other Guys]]", there's a scene when Felger uses the word "hinky" and Coombs objects that it's not a real word. In this episode, Felger again uses the word "hinky", prompting Carter to briefly question it. (For the record, "hinky" is a real word. It means suspicious or, more informally, strange.)

Dangerously Genre Savvy is being merged with Genre Savvy. Misuse and zero context examples will be cut.


* ComputerVirus: "Avenger" works like a computer virus to disable the DHD of another stargate by scrambling the symbols and coordinates. Unfortunately [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Ba'al]] gets a hold of it and takes it a step further by modifying it and causing it to spread throughout the entire gate network, giving him the advantage over the other system lords as he controls the largest fleet.

After Hammond threatens to fire him for his incompetence, [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E8TheOtherGuys Dr. Felger]] -- with some assistance from Carter -- designs a computer virus that he hopes can be used to disable stargates controlled by the Goa'uld. Unfortunately, a test of the virus results in the entire gate networks being taken out, leaving the other members of SG-1 stranded offworld.

----
!!"Avenger 2.0" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AccidentalMisnaming: O'Neill calls Felger "Folger" at the beginning of the episode, though it's possible he's [[MaliciousMisnaming doing it on purpose]].
* AnalogyBackfire:
-->'''Felger:''' Pretty cool, isn't it? You and I working together. We're sort of like the intellectual Butch and Sundance of the SGC.
-->'''Carter:''' Butch and Sundance got cornered and killed by the Bolivian army.
-->'''Felger:''' ...That's a good point, yeah.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Felger's assistant Chloe has shades of this.
* BigDamnHeroes: O'Neill and Teal'c arrive by ship to rescue Carter and Felger when they're pinned down by Ba'al's forces at the end of the episode.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Lampshaded by Carter when she's trying to explain to Hammond why they need Felger, specifically, to solve the problem.
-->'''Carter:''' Okay, I admit it: he's a complete screw-up. He makes rash decisions based on sketchy evidence, he's clumsy in the lab, he's ''always'' late, and quite frankly, it wouldn't kill him to ease up on the aftershave, but the fact is, sir, he's at Stargate Command because he's a ''brilliant'' scientist. And no-one understands that virus better than he does.
* ComputerVirus: "Avenger" works like a computer virus to disable the DHD of another stargate by scrambling the symbols and coordinates. Unfortunately [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Ba'al]] gets a hold of it and takes it a step further by modifying it and causing it to spread throughout the entire gate network, giving him the advantage over the other system lords as he controls the largest fleet.
* ContinuityNod:
** Carter reminds O'Neill that Felger did [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E8TheOtherGuys save their lives once]].
** While trying to reassure Felger that he's not the only one who makes mistakes, Carter tells him about the time her adjustments to the dialing program [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E5RedSky almost killed a planet's sun]].
* DaydreamSurprise: The ending of the episode echoes that of [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E8TheOtherGuys Felger's first appearance]], with him daydreaming about Carter and Chloe [[CatFight fighting for his affections]].
* DeathGlare: Hammond fixes Felger with a particularly epic one of these to get him to stop hanging around the control room.
* EurekaMoment: Felger has one when Carter mentions that the SGC uses its own dialing program, thinking that they can simply upload it to the gate network to counteract the effects of the virus.
* GoodWithNumbers: Felger describes Chloe this way when she instantly calculates the number of possible combinations from randomly dialing the gate.
* HardWorkMontage: Happens as Carter, Felger and Chloe are designing the virus.
* HeroicBSOD: Felger lapses into one of these after his first attempt to fix the problem fails, running away from the base until Carter tracks him down and gives him a pep talk.
* HyperventilationBag: Felger is shown having to breathe into a paper bag when he realizes just how badly he's screwed up.
* IronicEchoCut: When Felger comes up with his first "solution" to the problem:
-->'''Felger:''' Trust me, Major, this is gonna work!
-->''(Cut to a video transmission from Daniel, who is still stuck offworld)''
-->'''Daniel:''' Yeah, sorry to rain on your parade, guys, but it didn't work!
* LowerDeckEpisode: Mostly revolves around Felger's exploits.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Felger and Carter upload the virus with the hopes of disabling the gate on a planet controlled by Ba'al, only for Ba'al to use it for his own purposes and take out the entire network, stranding several teams offworld in perilous situations.
* NoodleIncident:
-->'''Felger:''' Chemistry 201, I had an incident with my midterm lab. They got the fire under control in about an hour, but poor Mr. Hoffman, his eyebrows never grew back.
* NowOrNeverKiss: Chloe lays one on Felger before he leaves with Carter to try and upload an antivirus to the stargate on Ba'al's planet.
* OutOfFocus: Carter still gets a lot of screentime, but the other three members of the team only appear in a few brief scenes each and spend most of the episode stranded offworld.
* SequelEpisode: To [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E8TheOtherGuys "TheOtherGuys"]].
* YouHave48Hours: Hammond initially tells Felger that he has 24 hours to come up with a viable project for the program or he's fired.
