You know whats sad, as advanced as the Ancients were, Atlantis is low on power, and theres nothing to do about it yet, because the city depends on ZPM's. You figure a city that size, the Ancients would have built it with its own power generator, or can make it depend on solar power.

But the ZPM's are pretty much out of power...
So, the Ancients never thought of a backup power, or at least a way to recharge the ZPM's. It could have a way to replicate the ZPM's like the way the Asgard can replicate stuff. The city is suppose to be self-supporting since its built for travel.*Peter turns on the energy based iris while Atlantis is very low on power*

The power only became low enough when they arrived who knows it could have resurfaced many times before to recharge, but that would be to easy I guess.

Wait a second, in the second Alternate Universe episode (which I believe was called "Window of Opportunity," didn't the Carters figure out how to recharge the ZPM that Colonel/General O'Neill built in "The Fifth Race." So why can't the Atlantis team recharge the ZPMs in Atlantis and the SCG recharge the ZPM from Paklarooshtayonas (sp?)? If they did that, gating between the galaxies would be no problem.

Umm... Rocket, what are you babbling about.
The "ZPM" O'neill built in The Fifth Race was just a temporary power source, meant for one use only and I think it depended on the liquid naquadah from a staff weapon or something.
Oh, and Window of Opportunity was about a time loop and was one of my all time fav. episodes.*Peter turns on the energy based iris while Atlantis is very low on power*

I'm sure we'll learn much more as we go along. The only thing in the whole episode that felt really forced to me was McKay's sudden announcement about the power outage. What was up with the timing? He just comes out of nowhere with it.
