When Hammond has the Stargate redial P4A-771 after it is repaired, he orders the gate room security team to stand ready. However, there would be no need, as it was an outgoing wormhole from Earth to another planet, so nothing could have come through. Also, when the second MALP is attacked on the planet, he orders the iris closed before shutting down the gate, but as before, this was an outgoing wormhole, so nothing, not even the energy blasts that destroyed the MALP, would have come through.

During the scene when the final search team returns injured, the footage of the Stargate activating is clearly that from "Children of the Gods" as there are boxes covered by tarpaulin to the left and right of the Stargate which aren't there once the team returns.

In the opening scene, MSgt. Walter Harriman informs Hammond that SG-1 is returning through the gate before the gate has opened, and thus before they could be positively identified. Hammond states that no teams are scheduled to return for 24 hours, so it seems unlikely that Harriman would jump to that conclusion.

When the gate is fixed after the overload, Stargate Command redials P4A-771 to search for Carter and O'Neill, but on the dialing computer the chevrons dialed are those for Abydos and not that of P4A-771.

Major General George S. Hammond, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c travel to Antarctica from Colorado in an incredibly short period of time. Even if they were put on supersonic military jets and there were an aircraft carrier or air field where those planes could land, it would still take a day for them to reach Captain Samantha Carter and Colonel Jack O'Neill. Certainly, rescue teams would arrive there quicker than them.

When this episode originally aired, the TV listing description gave away the fact that Carter and O'Neill were stranded at another gate location on Earth.

The Stargate in Antarctica would later become the primary Stargate Command Stargate after the original is lost in the Pacific Ocean, and then recovered by the Russians, during and after the third season episode "Nemesis". It would later be destroyed by an attack from Anubis in "Redemption, Part 2". It makes an alternate timeline appearance in "Moebius, Part 1" and "Moebius, Part 2".

When discussing the repairs to the Stargate, MSgt. Sylvester Siler says that it will take at least 24 hours, minimum, to which Major General George S. Hammond replies that he'll give half that, but Siler says, "No sir, it doesn't work that way; 24 hours is the best I can do." This is a reference to various incarnations of Star Trek, in which the engineers are given far less time than they say they need to make repairs, and yet they always seem to do it.
