I didn't have a problem with Mitchell being the CO of SG-1 because when he got command of that group, Sam wasn't part of it. And even when she was working with them in the beginning she still had plans of going back to Area 51. I don't know if it would have been exactly right to then just hand over SG-1 to Sam. Also I didn't mind it because it never felt like Sam would look to Mitchell for orders or anything. SG-1 post season eight seemed more of a collaborative group then a hierarachy group. Also, for me Sam wasn't the type to want command of a group. She didn't care about the power, as long as the person in charge was competent. If she was given command she would have accepted it but I don't think she would seek it out.

I also didn't not like Mitchell. It annoyed me a bit that his character felt so similar to Crichton from Farscape. I get that it's a type of character and everything but I kind of felt like it was Crichton had he joined the Air Force. I loved the character of Crichton but I was hoping that they'd give Ben Browder something a little different. I liked him enough though.

Also, I believe that now Sam outranks Cam as of Continnum. So I guess SG-1 was just Mitchell, Daniel, Teal'c, and Vala while Sam was in Atlantis. If there is another movie I wonder if Sam will continue as part of SG-1 or come back to the SGC or whatever when they need her help. I don't see how they could put Sam under Cam's command if she outranks him. Or am I just thinking about this WAY too much?
