Sorry, AR = Atlantis Recon. This has yet to show up on the show (and probably never will) but the original writers bible for Atlantis said that the exploration teams deployed from the city would be called Atlantis Recon, and that Sheppard's team would eventually be designated AR-1.

It does, indeed. Come to think of it, did they ever designate Sheppard's team as...anything? I remember always simply hearing "Major Lorne's team" and "Colonel Sheppard's team," etc.

Nope, no designations whatsoever. My li'l circle of fans unofficially call Sergeant Bates' team AR-2, at least through the first season (as there seemed to be no other main teams, really). Lorne's team seems to be the only one we hear about regularly after that, though.

Finally saw the ep last night. One minor thing to add: Wasn't it absolutely convenient that the only people to survive the collapse of the building were major characters?
