As for Mitchell...believe it or not, I wasn't overjoyed with the way they brought him in either. They could have had him as a "hero" but not necessarily associated with SG1. That was much too contrived. Bring him in as new guy, highly recommended by whomever. Let Carter get irritated that she got bumped...or not, because she didn't want it anyway. Whatever. Let there be some conflict between the team, so that they have to look past what so many of us do in real life--working for someone we deem inferior but learning to appreciate that person.
I'm all right with conflict--I LOVE conflict on TV because it's drama. And people usually grow from conflict. If I turn on the TV and week-in, week-out everything's hunky-dory between the characters, why am I watching? And the George Costanza answer "because it's on TV!" isn't going to cut it.
BTW, I agree with the barf
