Episode Goofs
 
If the shield technology was fairly new (stated by Teal'c in regard to Apophis's shield in "The Nox"), how did the Goa'uld inside the Russian officer have it? Especially if the Goa'uld in there was stuck there for thousands of years.
 
It is revealed that Teal'c has the ability to sense the presense of a symbiote within somebody, something he was unable to do in the episode "In the Line of Duty" with Jolinar.

Daniel: The standard retelling of the Babylonian creation myth"

Dr. Jackson identifies the locking mechanisme on the door to the ziggurat as "the standard retelling of the Babylonian creation myth". It is also known under its Akkadian name as Enuma Elish and recounts the battle between the Babylonian god Marduk (the Goua'uld in this story), also known as Bel-Marduk or simply Bel, and sea dragon Tiamat (see "the eye of Tiamat"). As Dr. Jackson correctly quotes, Marduk slays Tiamat and uses her body to create heaven and earth, then steals the Tablet(s) of Destiny from her and creates mankind. Marduk was the chief deity of Babylon and when Babylon seized the control over the whole of Mesopotamia, Marduk became the supreme god. More info
