    zpm delemma

    if sg-a is in such a need for zpms why dont they do what oniel did in the 5th race.. coudnt they just copy what he built.. it obvioulsy had enough power to reach another galaxy so couldnt atlantis use one to get back home.. maby using liquid naquda isnt powerful enough to power the whole atlantis base but coulnt they use it to just return home and get supplies and what not... or am i wrong and the device he built only helped along the already strong powersupply to the base.. but couldt someone find a way to juice it up.. just my thoguth because the whole zpm thing is kinda annoying and how earth cant power up the weapon.. why dont they just try to recreate oniell's device..

    well maybe the Pegusus is the next galaxy over from the asgard Galaxy sorta like this:

    the milky way galaxy-the galaxy of Ida(the asgard galaxy)-Pegusus Galaxy

    So that O'Neill low tech ZPM might have been good enough to go to the next galaxy but not good enough to hop a galaxy to get to the next one past it. I hope you understand that.

      they probably have the materials they would need to make one, but does anyone know how to exactly? jack didn't know what he was doing and no one took any notes. they had a few years to study it but how would they know that they're doing it right? they might accidently make one that'll go BOOM! if they try to use it.

      ... maybe they were just too arrogent and thought, 'hey, we're going to where the Ancients decided to move their country home. Homemade ZPMs? we don't need no stinkin homemade ZPMs. we should have enough roung yonder.'

          Yes they probably left it in the alternate reality. But they should've studied it and such stuff way before that happend.

          A regular Naquadah Reactor is probably much more powerful.

          And I don't think it was a jerry rigged ZPM. I think it was a Small naquadah reactor.

            And the O'Neill from alterbative reality is going to work with o'neill from this reality to create a ZPM that works.

                They made it work again. They didn't build a new one.

                    We destroyed the controller to the quantum mirror so it would never be used again. Or something to that effect.

                      Hammond gave the order to destroy the mirror.

                          Because if they just made a new one, it'd be a really short show.

                            Short? They would found a way how to get home and back there.

                              TPTB wanted to drop the whole AU (alternate universe) story and not revisist it? I guess that's more of a practical solution.
                              An in-universe answer would be the whole "two people can't exist in the same universe" sort of thing. Plus an invasion of an infinite number of Goa'uld from an infinite number of universes is not too appealing, so why take the risk of the goa'uld finding out about it and exploiting it.


                              EDIT: To add something else, I feel Atlantis is not about getting home but exploring a new galaxy. Even if Atlantis was able to reliably talk to and go back and forth from the SGC, the show would still go on. They could operate as tehir own sattelite SGC in Pegasus and act as a barrier/buffer between MW and Pegasus.
