** ZigZagged. The defibrillator in this episode actually does what it's supposed to do in real life - - it ''stops'' Sheppard's heart -- but generally the point of this is that a healthy heart will automatically restart itself, whereas the show treats it as an on/off switch where Sheppard's stopped heart then has to be restarted with another shock.

* FailsafeFailure: An aversion is what causes the drama. The Stargate system has failsafes to ensure that objects don't get sent through the system until they completely enter the gate, otherwise the front part of a person would be sent through leaving the rest of them behind, and there is no way to override it.

[=McKay=] fiddles with stuff on their end, while Teyla and Ford (with the help of Dr. Beckett) try pouring various chemicals on Sheppard's bug to get it to roll over and die. They do discover its weakness - salt water - but instead of giving up gracefully it reacts by strangling Sheppard for everything it's worth. What's worse, it seems to posses the Wraith's ability to heal itself by sucking the life out of its host. What's even worse than that, they're pretty sure that gate travel will instantly kill Sheppard if he's still got the bug on him when he goes through.
