When Colonel Sheppard is being handed his gear while inside the Wraith dart he's handed a P90 and a 1911. The problem with this is that all the Stargate away teams are equipped with Beretta 92 sidearms instead of the 1911, which was replaced by the Beretta. So where would Ford and his rebels get a 1911? edit »
Jace: We stole a Telnorran generator. They're a pain to keep serviced, but they do the job. Actually, we just got our hands on some Pilation solar cells, but I haven't been able to figure out how to interface them yet. Have you used them before?

Nitpick: Why has the expedition never sought out the Telnorrans or the Pilations? Even though the power devices listed are available on Earth, these societies are obviously more technologically advanced than most of the worlds the team visited. They might have something more advanced than generators and solar cells. Wouldn't they be interested at least to find out what kind of fuel is used in the generator? edit »
Goof: When Ford tells about how he went into the bar to sell the Wraith weapon, in the background you can see very distinctive Earth-type Venetian blinds. Even by Stargate standards, that's pretty absurd. edit »
Goof: In the scene where Col. Sheppard throws a grenade toward a Wraith, the Wraith reacts to the explosion slightly before the explosion occurs. In the same scene, there are little bits of digital corruption around the edges of the explosion effects. edit »

Ford: We have a spaceship.
McKay: Oh, yeah? Really. What's that made out of, huh? Bark? edit »
McKay: Well, couldn't we have met these people on a tropical beach planet, populated by tall, blonde women? Hmm? edit »
McKay: I just want to make it clear that every second I'm out of my lab is a second the galaxy goes without another groundbreaking... (cut off by shots). edit »
Ford: I can't believe you screwed up.
Sheppard: I did what?
Ford: You set off the alarm. You ruined the mission. edit »
Teyla: (to Sheppard as he awakes) You all right?
Sheppard: We're in a holding cell....
Teyla: Yes.
Sheppard: ...on a hive ship?
Teyla: (nods) uh-huh.
Sheppard: Then, no, I'm not doing so good. (sits up) edit »

Ford: (to Ronon) You know, it's funny. You ask a dozen people who they thought would win a fight between you and me, people would choose you hands down. Hell, I'd choose you. But we went toe to toe.

This refers to events in the episode "Runner". edit »
Independence Day:

The premise for this episode is like that of the movie Independence Day. In both, an alien ship piloted by humans flies into a mother ship to plant explosives. There are various other similarities between the two such as the human pilot being exposed to the aliens and the mission going wrong. Also, the interior of the hive ship's docking area is very reminiscent of the interior of the alien mothership in the film. edit »
Sheppard: R2, I need you to turn the autopilot off.

This is a reference to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, in which Anakin Skywalker makes a similar request. edit »
Title:

The Lost Boys were the children who lived in Neverland with Peter Pan and couldn't/wouldn't grow up. Joel Schumacher named his 1987 film about a gang of adolescent vampires in a small California coastal town after these James Barrie characters. The movie starred a young Kiefer Sutherland. edit »
