Throughout the episode as the Iris heats up to around 200 degrees the iris becomes redder due to the heat. However, when Stargate Command manages to open a worm hole using the rapid dialing program the iris is shown without any residual effect of the heat.

Just after Martouf asks Dr. Janet Fraiser what she was injecting Apophis with, we see her take off her left glove. The shot immediately changes, and we see her take off her left glove again. [around mark 24:09, DVD release]

The image from the vital signs monitor beside Apophis show's in the top: "Patient: Apophis", and in the bottom: "Patient: Carter Jacob". It's surely a reused image from episode "The Tok'ra, Part 2".

This is one of the very few episodes where O'Neill calls Carter by her first name instead of her surname or rank, the other episodes being "Emancipation", "The Broca Divide", "Fire and Water", "Singularity", "Solitudes", "In the Line of Duty", "Secrets", "Spirits", "Point of View", "Grace" and "Incursion, Part 1".

Despite his death here, Apophis returns in "Jolinar's Memories" having been resurrected with a sarcophagus as Martouf predicted. After SG-1 and the Tok'ra killed Sokar during the Battle of Netu, he regained power by taking control of Sokar's forces and became one of the most powerful System Lords until his final death in "Enemies."

The effect of two Death Gliders flying over a sand dune is a reuse from the original Stargate film.
