=== Tropes ===

 

* [[Call Back]]: McKay reminisces about helping Samantha Carter avert global catastrophe in the [[Stargate SG 1|SG-1]] episode [[Recap/Stargate SG 1 S 6 E 1 Redemption Part 1|"Redemption"]].

* [[Child Hater]]: McKay, played for laughs - so naturally all children love him.

* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: to Arthur C. Clarke's ''[[Childhoods End|Childhood's End]]'', although the plots are unrelated.

* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: The energy field that knocks out the Puddlejumper has no effect on primitive firearms.

* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: The real reason the Wraith haven't bothered attacking this planet in 500 years.

* [[Suicide Pact]]: An unconventional example, in that it wasn't all at the same (absolute) time, but at a prearranged date in the lifetime of each individual.

* [[Teenage Wasteland]]: Type 2

* [[Tracking Device]]: The Wraith bracelet
