There were several things that bothered me about this episode (not so much that it prevented me from enjoying the episodes) but... the biggest issue might be why in the world McKay is the only one with the codes to the base?
The only reason Sheppard knew is because Mckay told him thinking he would never remember it... Why wouldn't other people have the codes? People like... the commander of the base. Yes he is the head of the science department... but he is not the commander to the base. What if Mckay gets eaten by some sea creature in this new world and then the system is completely lost. Mckay is smart and everything but it's not smart to leave everything to him.
Maybe Carter has her own codes that override Mckay's. *shrugs* She did say she needed to get to a work station.
Maybe next time, they should just set it to manual self-destruct needing two sets of command keys.
