The "pre-Chaucer" form of Middle English on the stone early on in the episode seems in fact to be Early Modern English, which was spoken significantly later than the medieval period and Chaucer's lifetime. It is also said in the episode that the people on the planet have been living like this for "at least a thousand years", which means they could not logically be speaking Middle English anyway, as Middle English was only spoken from the late 12th century onwards, far less than thousand years before the events of the episode - before that, Old English was the language spoken in England.

When discussing trepanning, Dr. Daniel Jackson states "Well they didn't call them the Dark Ages because it was dark." While this pejorative term is used in popular culture, historical scholars have recognized this as misleading about the era. In the rare instances of its use, it is neutral and refers only to the lack of historical records from the era.

When Major Samantha Carter enters the coordinates of Earth, she enters the first one in advance. Then, when she continues, the film shows the second to fourth chevrons (correctly). But after the fourth one, we hear four more of the well-known dialing sounds.
