When SG-1 escapes in 1969, the truck carrying their equipment is painted in 4-color "woodland camo". This pattern was not used until 1975, with universal adoption not occurring until 1976. A US military truck in 1969 would be painted a flat OD green.

The Security Forces Airmen in 1969 are wearing blue berets which didn't become part of the Air Force Uniform until 1976.

The 1969 version of Hammond played by actor Aaron Pearl has brown eyes, whereas the latter version played by actor Don S. Davis has blue eyes.

When SG-1 is caught in the armory warehouse, the guard's revolvers sound like semi-automatic pistols (ping from the recoiling slide is present in the audio effect).

The note Hammond writes is an example of a Bootstrap Paradox; of which an object or piece of information is sent back in time where it is retrieved and to become the very object or piece of information that was brought back in the beginning.

While care was taken to mention and attempt to avoid the grandfather paradox, the scene with Cassandra introduces another time-travel paradox common in science-fiction: the ontological paradox. Cassandra's knowledge of what to do in the future comes from Carter who is only aware of it because Cassandra told her. The actual knowledge had no origin independent of the time travel loop.

If the episode had used the rules of Stargate time travel according to how it is presented in the rest of the series, on the other side of the time travel there should have been a real Stargate instead of a phased out one. In this sense, theoretically SG-1 should have emerged from the gate inside the locked crate or more probably they should have exited in Antarctica - which would have rendered their mission a failure, never being able to complete it, resulting in an obvious error.

Despite having no dampeners installed, there was no seismic occurrence when the gate was activated in 1969.

When Colonel Jack O'Neill is explaining to Lt. George S. Hammond their connection, he says, "Now for some reason thirty years ago you decided to help us." Technically, Hammond helped them thirty years in the future from 1969, not "thirty years ago." However, since from O'Neill's everyday perspective it is 1999, the reference to "thirty years ago" is a natural statement for him to make when referring to 1969, even though it makes no sense in the 1969 timeline. Furthermore, O'Neill made this statement of thirty years before Hammond told them the year a couple minutes later.

 Although the bus is surrounded by vintage vehicles on the bridge, oncoming traffic is that of more modern cars.
