where did the replacement ZPM in "Rising" come from?

[hxclespaulplayer]

I don't have my DVD's on hand, so I can't exactly find out. However none of the ep transcripts I've found mention anything about the replacement needed. So how did the Atlantis team manage to raise the shield?

For that matter, I know that the ZPM from "Moebius" was brought to the city after the Wraith siege pretty much depleted the Atlantis one(s), one was left behind by the Ancients in "The Return", and 3 were stolen by the Atlantis team in "Spoils of War". Am I missing any others that have been used in Atlantis?

They never raised the shield in "Rising." There was a little bit of power left in the original ZPMs when they found the city, which continued to power the shield for a better part of a day until it ran out completely and the city surfaced itself. They briefly raised the shield to protect the city from the hurricane in "The Eye" by charging it with lightning rods. After that, they didn't raise the shield again until they got the "Moebius" ZPM in "The Siege."

There were 3 ZPMs left after "The Return"-when the Replicators killed the Ancients, they installed 3 to power the city and effect repairs. Once they retook the city, they only kept one, with the other two going back to Earth, one for the Prometheus(?) to help fight the Ori, and the other for the Antarctic Outpost.
Todd the Wraith stole one from the Reps in the battle during "Spoils of War", not our guys. The current one was stolen from the Reps in s4's Lifeline.

The Prometheus was destroyed at this point. It was given to the Odyssey, and eventually augmented by Daniel to create the cloak which I think has permanently connected that one to the Odyssey since they've never removed it, even after installing the Asgard Core.

The Drone Chair one at the Ancient weapons platform still has the third.

The Mobius one I think was drained by the two Rodneys in that universe bridge thing, then the three taken from the Replicators, the one remaining drained in Hyperspace flight at the end of season 3, a new one stolen from the Replicator homeworld in season 4 to replace it which is currently the one in use.

Speaking of spare ZPM's...they still haven't explored like...well, most of the city.

I heard that in the finale, an exploration team will discover a large crate in one of the outer buildings marked "Spare ZPMs".

The finale takes place entirely on Earth, in Las Vegas for some ungodly reason, the info's been up on Gateworld for a month or two now.

They aren't getting anymore ZPM's in the aired episodes, if they do it'll be written into the TV movie next year.

Vegas isn't the finale Enemy At The Gate will be the finale.

Just reading Gateworld now, they have moved the Vegas episode back to #19 and having "Enemy at the Gate" be a regular episode for the finale, no mention of them finding any new ZPM's during season 5 in any of the reviews.

They do mention the Wraith situation won't be resolved in the finale and that the movie will be the first in what they hope are a few of them similar to the SG1 movies.

We'll be waiting sometime for them to find new ones then.

No, I'm pretty sure in the last scene of the last episode they find a big crate (labeled in Ancient) "Spare ZPM's"

It's right next to the crate labeled "Hamdingers" and a machine labeled "ZPM Making Machine - Just Add Seawater"...

The last line will be Rodney saying "Oh shi.." Fade to black.

Or we could actually have a serious discussion here...

They will not have any new ZPM's by the end of the last episode, if and I stress if Atlantis does manage one or more tv movies they may write that in.
