I don't remember if this was mentioned, but how many people are in the Atlantis expedition? Somehow the number of about a hundred is in my head? But that seems kind of small.
Thanks.

Never been mentioned. I doubt the number actually will be, or else they'll have fans taking screen caps of every extra and going "see, see, they said there was 102 members and I count 147 extras used and here are screen shots of all of them!"
Same with the exact number of countries. Weir says "over a dozen" in Rising, but last i knew the count was up to 18... which while over a dozen, sort of implies that I'd use another way to describe it

Ah, very clever of them! Thanks. I was just thinking
Spoiler:
that we've lost 3 members so far. How many folks do we have?
I wonder if we'll have members of other cultures join us, like Teyla did.
Over 18 countries? Somebody's keep track? Oh, wait, this is scifi, of course someone would.

Somewhere on the board is a thread with screen caps of all the flags seen in Rising, and than you add Zelenka. I don't remember the exact number but it was 18 or 19.
I tend to agree with the Major on this one. The crew is just big enough that they can afford to lose a few of them and still have enough left to get the job done...whatever that is. TPTB will never put a number on it.
Remember the episode of Star Trek: Voyager when they claimed to have only 38 photon torpedoes left? And then people on the Internet actually started counting every time they were wasted? I don't think the folks running Stargate want to run into a similar problem here.

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I suggested that the day they gave a number that people on the net (or on this forum even) would start taking screen caps of every extra to catch when they have to many people. It's just asking for an inconsistancy to mention it. We might get a round figure, like the countries thing, but Dick is right about why they wouldn't.
IIRC, the shuttles and photon torpedoes became a big annoyance to the Trek PTB. But than, I think that was unavoidable with them because they keep issuing blue prints and technical manuals to milk the Star Trek francise.

They should be Voyager was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo bad with continueing the stories correctly that the best entertain from that "show" was counting all the mistakes.
It’s the show that doesn’t end, it goes on and on my friends, some people started watching not knowing what it was, but they will be watching forever just because it’s the show that doesn’t end…..
I would guess that it is around 150 also. If you use the 38 minute wormhole there is only so much people and equipment they could put through.
Like others have said they would be smart not to give an exact number. Voyager told us how many crew people they had and they went through about 50 of them the first 3 years.
They didn't give a number for how many MALP's or Naquada Generators they had either and they've already lost one of each. TPTB are probably trying to avoid the supply problem by not giving exact numbers.
Yeah it's a good thing they didn't put a set number of people in the expedition. I guess they can always dress up the Aphosians in Atlantis jumpers and add them to teams as scouts and get around it that way, but this let their options open.
I wonder how many Gate teams are operating out of Atlantis now..so far we know Shep's team - Shep, McCay, Teyla, and Ford are the premiere team. The Seargent has one too.
Just wondering how many people actually live on atlantis?
After seening first strike, they use up alot of space also is it just me or they use the flat screen (looks like a long of glass)??
