Goofs... 

The Stargate Command Stargate is active, and Major General George S. Hammond is anxiously waiting for an SG-1 signal even before Selmak, Carter, and Martouf dial the address to return to Earth.

Goofs... 

When Captain Samantha Carter, Jacob Carter, and Martouf are fleeing the vanishing tunnels, they ring to the surface of the planet to head for the Stargate. As the rings disappear, their footsteps in the sand are behind them leading into the ring area.

Goofs...

When Selmak leaves Saroosh, it looks like a larva. As shown in "Children of the Gods", mature symbiotes are dark in color and have a large fin on their back.

Tok'ra do not enter their hosts through the back of the neck, as Goa'uld parasites do. It leaves a scar that many find unsettling. Instead, they enter through the mouth, as Jolinar of Malkshur entered Captain Samantha Carter in "In the Line of Duty". The Goa'uld do not do it this way because they do not wish to remember the horror on their host's face.

Colonel Jack O'Neill tells Jacob Carter that traveling through the Stargate is a "piece of cake." He previously told Dr. Catherine Langford the same thing in "The Torment of Tantalus".

Stargate Command give the Tok'ra a Sagan Institute Box so they can contact them as they did the Cimmerians in the episodes "Thor's Hammer" and "Thor's Chariot".

The Goa'uld Long range visual communication device first appeared in the episode "Within the Serpent's Grasp". That version was much larger, and according to Teal'c, they vary in size. The Tok'ra do not use them at all, though, because the system is not secure.

This episode marks the start of the Tau'ri-Tok'ra alliance that would culminate in the signing of the Tau'ri-Tok'ra Treaty in the episode "Divide and Conquer".
