Caldwell had a huge role in Season 2 and a smaller role in Season 3. In Season 4, he only showed up for two episodes. Does anyone know what his role will be in Season 5, assuming he'll return?

Hmm...
Season 2: 11 Episodes
Season 3: 6 Episodes
Season 4: 2 Episodes
Remember, SG-1's Dr. Faiser was in 11 episodes per season right up to her final episode (excluding "Ripple Effect"). It's not unreasonable for a recurring character to appear in as many as half the season's episodes. Doesn't Zelenka appear in half to 2/3 of each season's episodes?
I just want to see Caldwell return to his almost-regular status that he had in Season 2. They've been using him less and less. I guess my frustration comes from him being my favorite recurring character.

When Caldwell was in S2, his main role was to cause conflict; he was the big scary military outsider brought in to object to Atlantis' comfy little "Procedure? What's that?" attitude. He's mellowed now and is less antagonistic towards the Atlantis team; he's started to think like someone in Pegasus so now they have Ellis and Woolsey to be the procedural bad guys. When he's not arguing or participating in awesome space battles, he's a bit of a glorified truck driver.
However,Spoiler:He does have arguably the best lines in 5x01.They say the geek never gets the girl...what about the girl getting the geek?
Rodney/Teyla...it could happen
spoilers for "200"
Spoiler:Gen. Hammond: It has to spin, it's round! Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning. I'm the general, and I want it to spin!

I think that Joe Mallozzi must not like to use the ships as often since the ship use dropped dramatically when he took over last year, although I have always liked his work on SG-1 and Atlantis before, this seems to be one thing he wanted to change. That and switching Atlantis back to running on Naqahdah generators instead of the ZPM for day to day use.
Vala,

Also, recurring characters' involvement is not and never has been in any way guaranteed or consistent - and a lot of it depends not only on their requirements of the script but also the availability of the actor. Mitch doesn't sit around waiting for SGA to call and in previous seasons his involvement has been reduced partly because of his reduced availability due to his other commitments (e.g. Daylight, wan't it called?). Zelenka's level of involvement also varies. It's how it is when you're recurring and not contracted to a specific number of eps.sigpic
