1. Yeah, they only seem to want to bring that up when it suits them. Have you seen the rest of the season yet?
2. I figure that Daniel's parents were also very tactile people and when they died he was pretty much left without anyone to give him the hugs he craved until he met up with SG1.
3. Yeah, the rest of SG1 would have mopped up the Jaffa while Teal'c dealt wth Arcad.
This was definitely one of those episodes that showed the glaring differences between Jack's command style and Mitchell's. Of course, I actually do like the fact that they're willing to point out the differences (like the whole bit where he confesses to Landry that he's not in command of SG1). I also do like the fact that Mitchell tends to make mistakes that Jack wouldn't have. I don't think, from what they've shown of his past, that Mitchell has ever commanded as many people as Jack and that he's never worked with anyone outside of the USAF. Jack seems to be a lot more comfortable with all kinds of people whereas Mitchell seems to be a little out of his depth with people outside the USAF command structure. Jack was able to rein in his people, which Mitchell really can't do. He's gotten better, but he's going to need a lot more experience before he can consider himself anywhere near as good a leader as Jack.
