I've been complaining that Mitchell hasn't had much to do so far this season. In fact, in all but a couple of episodes, he's been nothing more than scenery, and hasn't seemed to be much of a leader. I think that for the new leader of SG-1, they should've given him more to do by now and that he seems pretty ineffectual. In fact, Daniel feels more like the leader than Mitchell, imo. Plus, we barely know Mitchell.
It's also my opinion that the writers are afraid of upsetting the RDA fans -- and maybe just regular SG-1 fans -- so they're purposely pushing Mitchell into the background. (Or maybe they just liked Vala so much that they wanted her front and center in all of her eps that they couldn't use Mitchell because people would've been upset that Stargate was turning into Farscape.) But I think they've gone too far in trying to not upset people, if that's is indeed what they were trying to do.
But I've heard from other people that they're glad Mitchell hasn't been pushed more. Being cautious with his character has worked for them, and so far they like him. (IMO, it's hard not to like someone who does little more than support the regular cast and is also a fan of them.)
So anyway, what do you think? Have TPTB done a good job of introducing Mitchell? Or should he have gotten more to do by now? Does he feel like the leader to you? Or does it make sense for his character to be hang back while he waits to see whether the rest of the team will join SG-1?
