Stargate Atlantis Teams?

[_Owen_]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, I have searched the forums as specificaly as I could and I din't see anything like this so, I apoligize if there are threads similar to this, I would not mind if this one was merged with another.

Has anyone been watching epsiodes of Atlantis and stop and think, wait a second, these teams don't even have designations, and the only real team that they have mentioned is Sheppard, Ford, Mckay, and Teyla. Does anyone have any suggestions for team designations, or possibly other teams.

Please no SGA: 1, SGA: 2, etc., come up with something original.

PJ 1, PJ 2, etc...

good old fashioned team 1, team 2, team 3, etc.

i really don't know

[Hatcheter]

Various sources say they were going to be Atlantis Recon: AR-1, AR-2, etc. They never got around to that, though. All we know for sure is that Major Sheppard and Sergeant Stackhouse lead teams ('Suspicion'); Bates may also lead a team ('Underground').

[RalCaladan]

They mentioned that Stackhouse had a team, right around when Ford said his bit about naming planets, it was in Seige I, or maybe Letters from Pegasus. At least, I remember it was when they were talking about ptoential Alpha Sites. Stackhouse was the one killed in "Brotherhood", right? Anyways, that implies that teams are refered to be team leader.

I think right now teams are refered to by the team leader but I think eventually they will come up with designations.

i think they just go with the leaders name for the team name. i.e. Sheppards team, stackhouse's team, bates team, etc

That makes it to much like a civilian operation. I know, the expedition is run by a civilian but they are still military teams.

I think that is one of the biggest problems with Atlantis. There is no sense of teams, just people thrown together in an "alien" city.

[_Owen_]

I think that is partly because the commanding officer is a civilian and most of the people who live there are scientists.

I noticed that in some fanfics, Shep's team is refered to as AT-1 or AG-1...

Which actually don't sound too bad. But I think the way they do it now is fine enough - after all it's a civilian operation, not a military one.

[_Owen_]

Technically it is a military operation that has a civilian commanding officer. There is a possibility that they will use those.

In my opinion it is just as much a civilian mission as military. The purpose of the mission was to learn of the ancient technology which requires scientist.

As far as the teams go I am fine with them being referred to by the team leaders name. Atlantis seems to be less formal which I like.

[Supreme Thor]

I think I could live with something simple like Atlantis-1 or something military-ish.

I'm pretty sure in one of the episodes Miller has a team too, but I can't remember which one.... 2nd half of season? *goes to investigate*

[_Owen_]

I agree the teams need a name military-ish, I actually like it more "formal"(militarily structured).
