(no subject)

We never did see the members of SGA-1 searching for the ZPMs at the gate addresses given to them by old!Weir. We saw them on Dagan, but there are four other planets we never saw. If all my (long) fic ideas weren't for AU's, I would write something.

Ohhh, I love this subjectt. Where are those pesky ZPMs???

I have an extra bit of ZPM love these days.

Powerful and rare, although the replicators seemed to have just made a bunch of them easily enough. Maybe replicated ones are inferior in some way?

Otherwise, wouldn't the city have had a whole cache of them? Or does it and our guys haven't found it yet (so much left unexplored)

ARGGGGHHH so many questions!!!!

I've thought about this too, and it's possible the city does have a cache of them. The city is the size of Manhattan, which means it's entirely possible the Atlantis Expedition simply hasn't discovered where they're kept. The database is vast, after all, so it would take a long time to find the right information. And when the Ancients took control of the city and kicked the expedition out, they activated a bunch of systems and didn't seem worried about power requirements, so.

But TPTB dropped the ball so many times. What happened to Sora the Genii? What was that giant wraith beam we saw attacking the village in Letters from Pegasus? Who made the nanite virus (though I hear this was retconned and blame was laid at the replicators feet)? What happened to the four other ZPMs old!Elizabeth listed?

While having no answers is frustrating, it does give room for fanfic authors to explore!
