Hey guys, Im kinda stuck a long way from a tv with scifi channel and have missed Rising and New Order..so how did we stop the ship sent by the system lords mentioned in the transcript? Did we reactivate the great fountain of happiness???Is that what the attack drone Sheppard is supposed to have launched is--one of the glowing squids of doom??

...with the ZPM used to power the gate for the Atlantis expedition, they now have no power source for it.
And by the way, in 'Rising' McKay did mention that the ZPM was currently powering the outpost defenses. This indicates that the weapon is still operational as long as they have a ZPM hooked up to it.

as long as they have a powersource it should be operational. The Ship was destroyed by Baal but I belive Baal would of found out where it was headed before destroyign it but possibly feared that the Asgard were there as they were.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGgHAXalVyM

They have never even made it appear that the Ancient weapon was depleted, as a matter of fact O'Neill's reluctancy to use to ZPM to power the gate to atlantis in the first place would seem to point other wise, along with other hints that the weapon is still functioning from zero hour, like when they said they were going to send the booby trapped ZPM to Antartica and immagine what woudl have happened if they had pluged it into the chair.
I would bet that the weapon is self replenishing, possibly sometihng alond the lines of replicator technology from star trek, when powered the base re-supplies the drones, that would make the most sense to me ancient technology seems to be designed to be maintainence free, like Atlantis automaticaly adjusting its sheilds to compensate for the energy loss

Sorry if this has been gone into before, but i had a quick check and couldn't see it anywhere in s8...
the ancient drone weapons seem to vary in power from lost city to its good to be king, i mean Jack uses hundred or thousands of them to take out nubys fleet (70 or so ha'taks??) in LC, but in IGtbK he only uses two to take down a ha'tak so surely he would have only needed to use a coupla hundred or so in LC...?
Also in LC they seem to have the ability to disassemble matter? they swarmed round a kull and it disappeared? whereas in atlantis they just seem to go boom alot...
Any thoughts?
