Micheal's planet was designated M2S-445. edit »
Nitpick: Given how quickly the Daedalus disabled Michael's hyperdrive (1 shot), it seems it would be easy to disable Michael's weapons before dropping the shields to beam up Sheppard and Ronon. edit »
Goof: The Daedalus has transported through shields several times in the past: Atlantis city shield ("First Strike") and against Wraith while the shields were up ("The Siege (3)"). This is the first time its been suggested that the shields need to be down to use the transport beam. However the shields would have needed to be lowered anyway in order to bring the wounded on the Jumpers aboard. edit »
At the end when Colonel Sheppard is lying on the infirmary bed, he is playing with the popular hand held gaming console, the DS Lite, produced by Nintendo. edit »
Goof: Teyla names her son Torren after her father but in "Rising (1)" she says she is the daughter of Tagan. Toran was the name of the Athosian that was captured with Teyla and Colonel Sumner and later feed on by the Wraith Keeper in that same episode. edit »

Caldwell: Major Marks, please make that ship go away. edit »
McKay: I am great with kids! The little ones that don't talk back. edit »
Teyla: (going into labor) Now, you need to catch him.
McKay: Catch him?
Teyla: Yes, you need to catch him when I push him out.
McKay: Oh God! Okay, well just... underhand him, all right? I've never been good at baseball. edit »
Ronon: How are we supposed to get off the ship now?
(They look at McKay)
McKay: I just delivered a baby, that's not enough for today? edit »
Sheppard: (over the radio) This is Colonel John Sheppard. Identification code Bravo Delta Charlie Alpha Niner. Daedalus please come in.
Caldwell: Authenticated. Colonel Sheppard, what the hell happened to your Jumper?
Sheppard: I got all turned around in the parking garage, I was in a rush so I borrowed this Dart. I've got the team beamed into a storage device.
Caldwell: Do you have Teyla?
Sheppard: Yes, and the baby.
Caldwell: You beamed a baby into storage?
Sheppard: No, I've got him right here.
(Sheppard has the baby in his lap) edit »

Carter: They caught the last Baal clone, the Tok'ra are going to extract the symbiont.

Sheppard: If we get out of here, beers on me, boys. What would you like, Duff Beer or Oprah Ale?

Duff is a reference to the beer brand from The Simpsons and Oprah is a reference to talk show host Oprah Winfrey. edit »

Not skipping a beat, the beginning of season five starts off with a bang, a couple surprises and a beautifully shot cinematic opening sequence. If you want story that will suck you into season five this episode does it, and does it well. ...Continue »
