- Badass Longcoat: Kolya has picked one up.
- Beard of Evil: Kolya has grown a dashing goatee since his last episode.

Zelenka: Jesus, I can´t do anything with those actors, dude!' |
- The Danza: This episode introduces Technician Chuck, played by Chuck Campbell.
- Distant Prologue
- Failure Is the Only Option: both with respect to the ZPM and McKay's love life.
- I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder: Beckett, again.
Dr. Beckett: For the last time - I'm a doctor not a bloody fighter pilot! |
- Magic Square Puzzle
- No Waterproofing in the Future: This is what Zelenka fears, at least, although it would technically be the past.
Zelenka: Yes well, it may if people stop insisting on having food and liquid in such close proximity to the ten thousand year old equipment! |
- Oblivious to Love: McKay - see page quote.
- Only Smart People May Pass: although the specific intent is "only members of the Brotherhood may pass."
