Yeah, it really is... It seems that, although Cain is entirely capable of filling a leadership role, it isn't the position he prefers, or where he's most valuable.
Hmm, I think that's one of the things that really appeals to me about these characters and this miniseries -- the fact that there isn't really a distinct "charismatic leader" character, but rather, they're a team in which everyone has an equally significant role.
