The Stargate Nitpicker's Thread! Faults in Stargate
First off, my apologies if this has already been done or if this is old hat on the board.
It seems every fandom has some sort of "Nitpicker's Guild" of sorts, be it official or not. Star Trek indeed has one, I've got a book entitled "The Nitpicker's Guide to Star Trek: TNG". "Nitpicking" doesn't mean you dislike the franchise, or always look for mistakes in a show. Most "nits" people don't even notice the first time around--if at all. Some you may not even realize until later. All in all, it can be fun to point out little mistakes in the show, be it production errors (such as a boom mike accidentally being in the scene), plot errors (changed premises, flip-flopping of facts), or some other kind.
Let's see if we can point some out that others may not have noticed, or even ones that everyone has. Who knows, maybe someone knows an answer to the "why" or "how" of the nit, thus giving it an excuse to be there. Otherwise, it would simply be something to look for and give a chuckle the next time we watch the show the nit appears in.
I'll kick it off:
That's some to get us started, does anyone else have any?

I'll kick it off:- In "The Serpent's Lair" (among other episodes), ever notice how when someone--Daniel, in this instance--is placed in a sarcophagus for rejuvenation, when they emerge, their clothing is repaired too? In this episode, Daniel is clearly hit with a staff weapon blast to his left chest/upper abdomen area, leaving a bloody hole where he got hit. Later, after O'Neill and the rest of SG-1 leave Klorel's ship, Daniel crawls into the sarcophagus to repair himself. Later when he emerges, his clothes look brand new, no blood stains or anything! Who needs a washing machine when you have a sarcophagus!?
- In many episodes, Carter's hairstyle will change from one scene to the next--even during a dialogue scene. I can just see it now, during briefing: "If you'll excuse me, General, I need to go redo my hair before the camera points at me again...".
- How come in later episodes of SG-1, most Jaffa don't wear the ornate "beast head-dress" anymore (ie, Apophis' Jaffa had serpent heads)? Just wasn't in the budget, eh? Disappointing, I thought they were kinda cool.
That's some to get us started, does anyone else have any?
