SG-1 errors/mistakes? I mean like the following I've noticed in
season 1:
Thor's Hammer: When Daniel takes delivery of the Sagan box, he goes
up the ramp to put it on the MALP. However, the MALP has been put at
the top of the ramp WHILE THE STARGATE IS BEING DIALED. (Maybe the
alleged "$100 hammer"-type DOD expenses are actually things like
splash-vaporized MALPs?)
Solitudes: At the start of the episode, when the gate is being
activated from offworld, Hammond says they don't have anyone due back
for 24 hours. Sgt. Davis (I think his name tag says in another
episode) says it's SG-1's ID code. But the gate hasn't finished
dialing yet, and no wormhole has been established. They couldn't have
received an ID code yet.
Tin Man: When SG-1 are brought into the gate room to go back to the
planet, Hammond says, "Get that gate open!" So why are they being
dragged up the ramp BEFORE the wormhole's established? Going to join
the MALP, maybe?
I love finding stuff like that, although it does disrupt the flow of
the show for me.

They're called gaffs, and every show (even "Babylon 5") has them every now
and again. You can either drive yourself insane nit picking over them or you
can choose to overlook them (for the most part) and enjoy the show. Some
gaffs are so monumentally stupid that they interrupt the whole "suspension
of disbelief" thing and deserve to be called out, but most others can be
filed under the category of "Oops, they missed that little one". It's
TEEVEE, get over it.

There appears to be a missing scene, or just quick editing. But you
can see that the team have no equipment and head out the door to get
the weapons (their host reluctantly agreed). In the very next scene
you can see Tealc with his staff weapon as they're walking on a
catwalk. So somewhere between the two scenes they got their gear back
and are headed to the gate.

I don't know if it is still around but there was a site that
listed mistakes in movies/tv shows. And some of thse
movies had 400+ mistakes......and many of them were found
before the era of the DVD.

You have to wonder how when they spend $100 million on a
movie, have 50+ people working on continuity you still get
so many glaring errors in a movie. And some of these
movies have 400+ errors that were found in the era before
DVD and VCRs.

Stargate - I wonder to myself how in the name of stupidity can the
humanoid Goa'uld of that size be "hiding" inside that teenage boy who is
not much bigger. I let it go of course like all movies Hollywood I'd
have to.
Men In Black - The cockroach alien is couple time bigger yet he could
hide within the skin of the farmer???? Never quite get over that..
There are many more from many others but I don't remember.. ;-)

If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people.
Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have
legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing--
with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for
second and third place.
It is better to copulate than never.
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

O'Neill asked for their weapons back. Then Carter asked for their
uniforms, too. Harlan turned to Carter and said that they were gone -
meaning the uniforms. Then, a few lines later, he says that their
weapons are "This way," and motioned for them to follow So, he was
only saying that their uniforms were gone, not the rest of their gear.

Get over what? I wasn't complaining about them; I said I enjoy
finding them, and was wondering if they were being collected
somewhere, that's all.

Movies are essentially just theater. Theater goers don't gather in
groups to mutter about how they could actually tell that the backdrops
were painted, or that the helicopter in Miss Saigon wasn't actually
flying under its own power. It would be prohibitively expensive to
provide realism in theater, so no one bothers. In movies the same
sorts of principles apply - you shoot the scene, then a week later you
notice there are contrails visible, but it's too expensive to reshoot
the scene.
The goal is to create enough realism that the viewer has some
suspension of disbelief and can get into the story. Obvious gaffs
can jerk people back into their living rooms or the movie theater,
so the crew tries to be careful, but they're not perfect.
A drawback is that the more that realism can be achieved, the more
that gaffs stick out and become laughable. Viewers also start to
expect perfection, and assume that the writers and directors have
fully fleshed out all details when they're really just making things
up as they go.

There was a web site that did, unfortunately I lost the URL.

significant mistake in the Enemy Within. At the start of the episode the
goa'uld are sending people through the stargate to earth, but the iris is
blocking them. The stargate shuts down, you here the sound effect and the
dialing screen displays idle, but the next shot of the stargate, with the
radiation team, you can clearly see the event horizon reflecting off the
walls and the chevrons are still glowing. This one really annoys me.
Usually, most gliches can be covered up, like in children of the gods, how
at the start, the gate shuts down just after apophis has walked through the
gate, then a few shots later its back on again, my opionion is that Teal'c
did a manual dial, as he is the one who always does manual dials. And with
the radio GDO signal with gate being inactive, my opionion is that radio
signals can be sent while the gate is dialing, otherwise how does a stargate
know to start dialing without receiving some sort of signal. So yeah, radio
signals can be sent before incoming wormholes have been established, objects
with mass require wormhole to be established. What really annoys me is that
they say that you need to send stuff through the gate to keep it open, why
can't air keep the gate open?

So there was a symbiot inside a humanoid host inside a teenage boy?
