You know I put it down to the writing team just not knowing how to write the show without "Jack". And by that I mean the quips and beats RDA carried. Of course to many of us it was just jarring, but I seriously think that was the deal. But I also think in 10 we'll see some evolution away from that. Hope so anyway.

They did that, because like so many other things they've done with Mitchell, they were fobbing off lines that Jack might have had to Cameron's character without a buffer.
We've all discussed how they seem to be trying to give Mitchell Jack's sense of humor and his dialogue and how it really just doesn't fit. Mitchell is a totally different character. We don't even know him yet, so tossing him Jack's irreverent sense of humor and trying to have him "TEASE" the team members of SG-1 with flippant remarks just doesn't fly. He's not Jack.
Jack could get away with calling Carter "Dorothy" (for example, in context) because Jack was... Jack. His backstory, his history, his personality, his relationship with Carter notwithstanding, and her respect for him; the entire dynamic between the two of them.
Mitchell lacks that depth thus far, and he needs HIS OWN lines, his own sense of humor - rather than Jack's transposed onto him.
OK a question for you Sky or anyone else who might know, when would i see more than two Sam's in the avitar section? because at the moment with me trying to work my post count up a bit i'm hopeing for more Sam's to chose from! Oh and out of the two one is already in use.
Little post note for you Sky, well done on reaching 11,000 posts, that's alot of posts and i like your pic of Sam!
petition david. he makes the avatars.
when you get to the custom level, i can make some for you, but david is the keeper of all things graphic on the board
