Aah, see I think you may have mis-interpreted my comment about Lorne's daughter above. I was putting forward one possible interpretation. It was specifically written ambiguously.
On the topic of Beth being named for Elizabeth - It's never stated that Beth is her first name. I'd been figuring if she were Elizabeth's daughter she might have her mother's given name as her middle name; that's a lot more common in a lot of societies. Following that, it could easily have been someone not-Lorne who started calling her "Beth." Otherwise it could have been anyone. Up to and including the mother not being female - you never know what kind of tech they'll find in the next 20 years. Parrish/Lorne is a popular pairing, for example.
You're exactly right, the possibilities are endless.
Carson? Would spend all his free time trying to 'fix' the Gene Therapy, although the children raised in Atlantis would never have an easy time re-acclimating to a non-Tech intensive environment since their neurosystem formed with a standard high level of ATA-S. Could they adapt? Possibly. Would it be a long and painful process? Almost certainly.
I'll bet one of Lorne's jobs as things (hopefully) settled down in later years would be finding intact Ancient Outposts and Settlements that they could bring back to functional with a ZPM or a few Naquadah generators. It would greatly change the parameters of a new Alpha Site, all right.
I shall endeavor to tell more tales of this particular future, thanks for reading! And thanks for the wonderfully detailed feedback; it makes creating a world so much more rewarding when people really read and analyze and ask questions.
