During the syndicated airing of this episode, the opening credits from Season 1 are shown because Rainbow Sun Francks (Lt. Aiden Ford) is still a cast member until Runner (even though he doesn't appear in this episode), and Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex) doesn't join the cast until episode 3, Runner. Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett) is not credited because of this. (edit) International Airdates:

(Sheppard in the F-302 hits the brakes and gets behind the virus infected ship)
Weir: Nice move.
Hermiod: Indeed. (edit) McKay: Yeah. Airperson – don't be there. (edit) Weir: Major Sheppard's record before he joined my team doesn't concern me. All I can tell you is that if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. And as for his rank, if that's not good enough for you, you're just going to have to promote him.
Landry: Doctor ...
Weir: I shouldn't have to remind you gentlemen that I continue to have the support of the President and our foreign allies. You don't wanna fight me on this one. (edit) McKay: We should really really be dead by now.
Sheppard: I don't feel dead. (edit) Sheppard: (To Caldwell over the radio) You're going to have to beam us in.
McKay: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. The transport beam wasn't designed to transport from one point in to another inside the ship. We can end up rematerializing half inside a wall.
Sheppard: Well, we're just gonna have to take that chance. (edit)

This episode marks the first appearance of Major General Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) on the series. (edit) McKay: Wait a minute. There was a situation similar to this back at Stargate Command. I remember reading the report. An alien entity took control of the base computer, so they did a systems shutdown to destroy it. It survived by uploading itself onto a M.A.L.P.

This is a reference to the Stargate SG-1 episode "Entity." (edit) Goof: In the beginning, when the events of previous episodes are shown, there is no one standing at the Stargate when Lt. Ford goes through it. In previous episode, Sheppard is standing by the gate ordering Ford to stand down. (edit) When Dr. Beckett is looking through a list of candidates to join them in Atlantis you can see a couple of resumes. One of the pictures on the resume is of the director of this episode, Peter DeLuise. (edit) Goof: When Lt. Col Sheppard is beamed aboard the Daedalus from the F-302, he is sitting down before being beamed, however, when he is beamed back on board he is standing up. Asgard beams do not re-integrate matter in a different pattern, they only transfer from one place to another. (edit)

Top Gun:

When Sheppard "hits the brakes" during the engagement with the virus-controlled F-302, it's similar to Top Gun. There, Maverick is in a dogfight with a MiG-28 and he hits the F-14's airbrakes. The MiG flies right by thus giving Maverick a shooting solution. (edit) HAL 9000:

The unblinking, single red eye looking at the crew via a fish-eye lens is a dead ringer for the HAL 9000 computer from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. (edit)
