"Stargate Atlantis" "The Rising" Quiz

Answer: Carson Beckett

Fortunately, he was able to shut the drone down before it caused any damage. Carson was extremely paranoid about sitting in the Ancient Chair from then on.

Answer: They don't know when (or if) they will be able to return to Earth

Because Atlantis is in another galaxy, the power required to establish the wormhole is enormous. No one is certain if they will be able to make a return trip, because they don't know what they will be walking into in the City of Atlantis. Not to mention the fact that most of them can't tell their families anything about what they're up to on this expedition.

Answer: Yes

As the expedition team starts to explore the city, doors start opening and lights start coming on all by themselves. When they find areas with windows and realize that they're sitting on the bottom of the ocean and some kind of force field is holding back the water. Beckett also discovers a hologram that the Ancients left behind telling the story of how they sunk the city to protect it from an enemy.

The team realizes that all the old legends about "the Lost City of Atlantis" are true, it just didn't happen on Earth.

Answer: No

McKay is extremely disappointed to learn that although there are three of the ZPMs, two of them are dead and one of them is rapidly running out of power. The lack of power to operate the Stargate and in general run things around the city is a constant problem throughout the show.

Answer: The Wraith

The Wraith is a powerful race who feed by sucking the life out of humans. The humans of the Pegasus Galaxy live in fear of the coming of the Wraith to their various planets. Shepperd's team is advised to go back to their home world, since the Wraith do not know of its existence.

Answer: Teyla's necklace

It was something that she lost when playing in the caves as a child. Teyla brought John to the caves to show them their drawings- pictures showing previous cullings by the Wraith. Teyla is something of a leader of the Athosians and is the first alien to join the Atlantis team.

Answer: When the shield starts to collapse

The Ancients built a fail-safe into the shield so that the city wouldn't be crushed under the weight of the ocean in the event that the shield ran out of power.

Answer: an arm

During his examination, Carson determined that the Wraith have amazing regenerative capabilities, which means that they are both extremely old and difficult to kill. Explosives are generally the most effective.

Answer: name things

John thinks that "Gate Ship" is too grand a name for the little space ships they fly through the gate. He calls it a puddle jumper, which is the name that sticks, although it usually gets shortened to "jumper." When Sheppard finds a little device that picks up life signs and Ford calls is a "Life Signs Detector," Sheppard just looks at him and says "We can name it later."

Answer: No

The shield on the Atlantis Gate serves the same purpose as the Iris on Earth, but since it was created by the Ancients, it's an actual energy shield, as opposed to the trinium one designed on Earth.
