When the M.A.L.P. is sent through the Stargate from the Touchstone planet back to the second Gate, the video is being watched and everything is dark. But, as shown in other episodes, the Stargate glistens brightly and lights up whole rooms and should have illuminated the area around it, because the Stargate would have to still be active for the signal to get through.
Capt Carter clearly says (and the display screen shows) a satellite connection is being used to connect to the MALP. The gate had already shut down.

Both Jack O'Neill and Colonel Maybourne are shown wearing white shirts with their dress uniforms. Air Force Class 1 uniform shirts are usually blue. However, USAF Mess Dress (formal functions) shirts are white.
When the second Stargate is having its iris welded, on a number of people observing are looking directly at the welders without wearing eye protection. This is something that a person should never do, as looking at the light from an arc welder, even indirectly, causes immediate discomfort and can also cause permanent damage to the retina. The intensity of the light coming from an arc welder is several times that of the Sun as seen from Earth.
When the exterior shots of Area 51 are shown, pine trees are in the background.
Area 51 is located in a dry lake bed in the South Central Nevada desert. While there is plenty of sagebrush, there are NO pine trees...or trees of any type for that matter, surrounding the base.

SG-1 has orders not to use lethal force on Americans who might just be following orders. When SG-1 discovers the real second Stargate, one of the thieves transporting it dials a destination, and the "watery explosion" of a successful wormhole bursts through the crate, causing Jack, Sam, Daniel, and three of the thieves to hit the deck. Only Teal'c and the thief in the truck remain standing. All four thieves escape through the Stargate without Teal'c doing anything. Jack sprays some random bullets around them to prevent them from taking the Touchstone, but Teal'c does absolutely nothing, even though he was still standing. He could have run one of the thieves down. Or, much more effectively, he could have used his Zat'nik'tel, to stun any or all of the thieves without taking a single step.
Teal'c mentions that SG-2 had been on a mission "galaxies away." But at this point in the show's run, only the Milky Way stargate system had been discovered.
Captain Carter says that she is switching the MALP's GPS to Tel-Sat 13 to triangulate. However, it takes three satellites to triangulate not just one. People of use triangulate loosely to mean determine position, not necessarily by triangulation. However, a scientist and pilot like Carter would not be so sloppy.
