Yeah, this a totally subjective thing and it depends on what you define as team. Some will say if all four are on the screen, it's team. Some will say if all of them have an active part, it's team. For me, team is all of them in one area trying to solve a problem and nobody sort of regulated to a B line or just standing there with no actual lines. (Which only works for Teal'c, I think.)
I started really hating the words, "It's a team episode!" in the second half of 9 and 10 when other countries would get the episodes first and people summarize and say, WHAT A GREAT TEAM EPISODE! And then I'd watch it and it'd be like all about Vala and some OC. Or yeah, Sam would be there, but she'd be like a lamp for all she'd get to say.
Bounty, for example, is considered a team episode by some because everyone has a part in it, but to me, everyone was in different places doing different things! How is that team? And there are a few that were all about Daniel, which should have made me happy, but I was wondering where the heck Sam was the whole time. And then she'd get two lines or something just to justify her existence. It was just the opposite of how I felt during 4 and 5. Too much of one of my favs, and not enough of the other. And no scenes with each other.
