There’s this cool twitter account called Stargate Command over on – well twitter and they just asked “What’s your all-stargate dream team?” Now my twitter is set to private and 140 characters is so not enough, so I will just answer that question for my own fun right here.

To be honest so far as teams go how do you beat original SG1? It kinda can’t be done so I’m going to build a team that doesn’t include any of the original SG1 because otherwise I would just want all of them.

Warning ramble under the cut.

That still leaves oh so many options. There’s Jonas, Cameron Mitchell or Vala who were actually SG1 team members. Then there’s other Stargate personnel such as Janet Fraiser, the four Lt. from Proving Ground: Elliot, Hailey, Satterfield and Grogan. There’s key people like Bra’tac, Selmak/Jacob or Martouf/Lantash. Rya’c, son of Teal’c, another one, or that Jaffa with the burned off symbol, any rebel Jaffa really. There were lots of cool Tok’ra over the years too.

There’s the SGA-1 team: Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Ronan, Ford. Also from Atlantis there’s Major Lorne, Zelenka, Carson Beckett, Jennifer Keller, Lt. Cadman etc.

From Universe there’s Rush obviously, Scott, Greer, James, Varro, TJ, Young if I absolutely have to list him, Mr Brody etc.

How do you pick just one team?

I did sometimes wonder who would be the new SG1 when they said .. somewhere that Cameron got promoted to command the Odyssey. Teal’c and Daniel didn’t seem to be on active SG1 duty when they did guest spots in season 5 Atlantis and on Universe.

The fate of Atlantis when it crashlanded on Earth in the series finale is kinda unknown. I read one place that it got turned into a moonbase, I read somewhere else that it went back to Pegasus. From McKay’s guest spot on Universe I’m just going to say either Atlantis isn’t a factor, or the Milky Way is quiet enough that SG1 could be deployed to Pegasus.

New SG1 post series
Team Leader: Colonel John Sheppard
Science Officer: Captain Jennifer Hailey
Shooter: Ronan
Culture: Vala (doesn’t know it like Daniel, but knows the galaxy really well)

Another version could be:
Team Leader: Major Lorne (would likely need a promotion first)
Science Officer: Captain Hailey (yeah – again, but she is a good fit)
Shooter:

Rya’c (son of Teal’c)
Culture: A living Tok’ra (I’m sure there has to be one)

I’m splitting it down the roles the original SG1 had. If I ignored a certain element like for instance the culture requirement, then it could get a bit more fluid. Also, those ones were for post-series and so dead people weren’t eligible. Plus, the people on Destiny aren’t eligible on account of being on the other side of the Universe.

Say all-time, open to everyone, dead, other side of the universe or otherwise and forget roles, it’s just 4-5 people who would kick-butt out there. I’m actually having trouble with this because I just want to list all the scientists. However, there is no point in putting Rush, Zelenka and Hailey on the same SG team. Even if it is the scientists that save the day a lot.

All-time
– Dr Nicholas Rush (come on you knew that was coming)
– Selmak/Jacob
– Vala
– Ronan
(it occurs to me there are no military officers in this list, Jacob was a two star General but when he blended with Selmak he kinda wasn’t in the chain of command any longer)

Meh lack of military officers aside, that is my dream team of four. It could only be improved by adding Bra’tac and then yup the universe is going to be a safe place for sure.
