* BestServedCold: The recall device is an automated version of this. Assuming it gets triggered, the likely scenario is that the victim will run out of supplies and die well before the glider ever reaches civilization, since it has no hyperdrive and is being directed to fly back to its planet of origin.

* IntoxicationEnsues: Oxygen deprivation has made O'Neill a little loopy by the time Jacob shows up with his scout ship, and it takes a bit of effort to get him to focus enough to wake Teal'c.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Jacob is pretty harsh in his criticism of trying to reverse-engineer a Death Glider, but he's right that the Air Force is way out of their depth with the technologies involved. Sure, the Goa'uld stole their technology, too, but that was millenia ago and they took the time to understand it first.

-->'''-- Col. Jack O'Neill'''
A test flight of a new spacecraft adapted from Goa'uld death gliders goes badly wrong when it turns out the originals were fitted with a recall device meant to return to Apophis's homeworld in the event of sabotage, sending O'Neill and Teal'c hurtling into deep space. As they drift further from Earth, Carter and Daniel seek assistance from Jacob to rescue them before they run out of oxygen.

!!"Tangent" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AlmostOutOfOxygen: The glider was supposed to have enough oxygen to last several days, but that gets reduced to about twelve hours after some of their systems are damaged by one of the missiles disengaging and striking the cabin.
* AndMissionControlRejoiced: At the very end of the episode, after Carter relays the message that both O'Neill and Teal'c have made it onto the scout ship alive and well.
* CharacterNameAlias: When their ship gets stranded in Goa'uld-occupied space, Jacob tells Daniel to stall an approaching mothership by pretending to be a fellow Goa'uld as he and Carter get the hyperspeed drive back online, resulting in this:
