User blog comment:Tdwwebbtfan/Mike: A bad character or just poorly written?/@comment-30933826-20170609135105

Here's what I think. The DID character idea is really cool. However, they performed it poorly. DID patients usually develop their multiple personalities as a result of traumatic events, and so they subconsciously try to be someone else as a way to dissociate themselves from the trauma they have. As a result, DID patients are typically reclusive and/or violent and aggressive. Mike is a terrible portrayal of this.

And there's also another thing. Even if they made a really great, well-written DID character, it still just doesn't really belong in this show, I think.

So my final thoughts are really that yes, Mike is a bad character. However, that is not to say he couldn't have been good. I think Mike was actually pretty solid in ROTI for the most part, but that being said, he still wasn't a particularly good character.
