 The episode falsely links many Early Modern (1500-1700) beliefs about demons and witchcraft – such as the Devil's mark – to the Medieval period (400-1400).

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.

Don S. Davis (Major General George S. Hammond) does not appear in this episode. After "Deadman Switch", this is the second episode in a row in which he does not appear. This was the only time that he was absent from two consecutive episodes prior to his departure from the regular cast at the end of Season 7.

This is Carl Binder's first and only solo contribution to Stargate SG-1 (He did contribute a segment to the episode "200"). He would later become a staff writer on the spin-off series Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate Universe. He would go on to write 32 episodes of the Stargate franchise.

The scenes taking place around the Stargate on the Medieval planet were shot at the Mid-Valley Viewpoint of the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. This location was previously used for the planet Gaia in "The Nox".

O'Neill gets a wound that cuts through his left eyebrow in this episode and is clearly seen with a wound there. In all subsequent episodes, he has a permanent scar cutting through his left eyebrow. The actor who plays him, Richard Dean Anderson, does not have such a scar. Anderson and make-up artist Jan Newman agreed the scar should be one of O'Neill's defining features.
