what happened to the zpm's?????

[acended phoenix]

i just realized last night.
when weir goes back in time, we get to see three zpm's inside of the power room, there are three ports for the zmps. but, when rodney connects the zpm in the long goodbye. there is only one port and only one zpm? can somebody explain as to why this is happennign. and why there aren't even outlines for ports in the scene?

[Jumper One]

Chances are, there are 3 ports, but they just weren't visible from the angle they showed the console from.

[Major Melton]

Maybe it was a different room.

[Bragi]

Different set piece?

[acended phoenix]

yes, a differnt set peice is possible, but i still want to know what happened to the other zpm's, if there were three already in the ports than how did they put in the one from earth without taking out one of the other zpm's first,

and does anyone know what zpm's are really called?

[Samantha Carter]

ZPM is short for Zero Point Module.

[Major Melton]

ZPM is short for Zero Point Module.

I think he means what the Anicents called them, and just to say i don't know what there called either (guess i'm not as smart as McKay )

The long goodbye?
I think your thinking of "Critical Mass"
And you should be using spoiler tags.

i guess when they first arrived they removed the empty ZPM's since keeping them in their ports would be pretty useless. The 3 empty ones are probably in a lab somewhere.

Theres probably more than one power station in a city.

thanks for the warning with spoiler tags, the problem is that i don't know how to use them and i'm pretty new to the whole forum/posting thing.

somthing else is bothering me too,

if, we have the emmiter that jack used when he first dialed the gate to another galaxy, then, why can't we rebuild it and use it to send more men and materials to atlantis to either help upgrade deadalus, or to give them the jumper that they have in the sgc, assuming that they still were able to dig it up in season eight. and what about that ship that is in area 51, from season seven, couldn't we take that and upgrade it with the technology that we have now and send it to atlantis for backup, or at least to taxi stuff back and fourth so that the deadalus dosen't have to.

[acended phoenix]

oh, and by the way, did you guys see the ship that i found, its called the WRAITH

I'm not sure exactly which shot we're discussing here, but there was a ZPM in The Long Goodbye, so that episode could be the correct one.

Spoiler tags: [.spoiler] text [/spoiler] Just remove the period before the first bracket.

Its the same prop

If you look closely where the ZPM port is on one branch of the console the corresponding places on the other branches have lids on them
