- Exact Time to Failure: Lampshaded. After telling Sheppard repeatedly that he has no idea how long something will work for, McKay eventually just spits out the number 7 minutes and 31 seconds to get him to stop asking. Naturally, Sheppard gets mad at him when it stops in less than that time.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: A bit of a variation; although created as a weapon, the Asurans wanted to be a Nobody. Then the Atlantis team showed up, and they turned into a Nightmare.
- Neglectful Precursors / Abusive Precursors: The Ancient treatment of the Asurans.
