I would say that B5, of all of them, was the most hung up on plot-point continuity. And they jumped through hoops to keep the continuity even when outside factors intervened (i.e. the network demanding Sinclair be replaced with a bigger name actor or Claudia Christian failing to re-up for season 5). Somehow it all held together.
He had a continuity bible, did JMS, or so Gaiman claims when telling the tale about the episode he wrote.
IIRC, most of the problems with S5 involved (Pete of Reason could detail it better than I) the fact that they weren't sure they'd get it, so they had to cram 90% of the series arc climax into S4, as otherwise things would be left dangling hard in the event of cancellation.
I've seen a few little errors, like Carter's address changing within an episode, Daniel using an archeological term incorrectly, some confusion about the doctor's rank - but it tends to be the more minor stuff.
Daniel using an archeological term incorrectly,
Oh, more than once, believe me. This is just one of the reasons I can only enjoy Stargate whilst wearing my "It's only a TV show" hat.
Even during the early days of the X-Files they had Scully stick a rectal thermometer in a kid's mouth, ER fucked up with the Babinksy reflex for years - at least Daniel remembers that he's an archeologist and usually handle that stuff, or at least the linguistics.

I think you may have underestimated to the power of 100, at least.

Yes. Yes you are. It was what you got your bachelor's in, and your specialty at the FBI before you got stuck with the X-Files.
Grrrr.....

I managed to catch this ep in spite of barely watching any of the last 5 seasons. It's like some higher power wanted to make sure I knew just bad it had gotten.
Was that in a Carter episode?
I had big issues with Scully and her SuperDuper Magic Reagents for a 6 hr southern blot in... I forget which mytharc episode. Redux I, I think. Minor thing to get pissed about, especially in comparison to her elastic gestation period in S8, but it totally got my gall since I had spent 2 solid days (accompanied by much cursing and hair-pulling) doing the same procedure a few weeks back.
Well, it's nothing compared to Sam Sam the WunderScientist, I guess.
