This hit me tonight while I was talking with e_dog over dinner.

So, we know the SGA season 1 Team Sheppard was comprised of Sheppard, Teyla, Ford, and McKay.

Here's the thought - what was Elizabeth thinking? Was that really a good idea to let them all be on the same team?

Here's my reasoning:

Maj John Sheppard: The acting leader of the military contingent on Atlantis.

Lt Aiden Ford: Sheppard's second-in-command.

Dr. Rodney McKay: The head of the Science division and Elizabeth's second-in-command.

Teyla Emmagan: The leader of the Athosians and Atlantis' ambassador to the other peoples in the Pegasus Galaxy.

Does anyone else find it a little screwy that this many important people are on the same team, with life threatening danger all around them?

I still think it's odd, in a very amusing way. The Star Trek examples do quell my curiosity on the subject just a tad though.

I also thought about it a bit more and though, if I were Elizabeth, I would probably put my best people together regardless. There's such a high success rate there and naturally, they all have amazing luck and good fortune surrounding them.

It's true that putting the best together is a good idea in general, but I don't know if in that situation, with being cut-off from Earth and all, is the best idea. But, true about the good luck and all.

And I found that book that I was telling you about with the Chinese food. It's called Fortune Cookie Chronicles (http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/chinese-food-an-american-success/article53672.html) by Jennifer Lee. (The link actually goes to the article that was in Reader's Digest, so you can read that and see if it interests you.)
