I'm pretty excited for Aff's comeback and Tor. I saw a pic of her in character as a pilot and she looks pretty bad ass as a pilot. Also yeah for female pilots instead of the usual flight attendant stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with being a flight attendant, just stereotypical.
I like that society is shifting female characters towards more empowerment now. I'm glad there's more portrayal of women in various occupations, so young girls can grow up knowing that there are other options for them besides being a nurse, flight attendant, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those roles, but people should be able to choose what they what to do and not because they grew up in a society where all they saw was women in certain occupations.
Women don't need to be portrayed as helpless until her prince charming (praeg) comes along to help her.
Or if it's a soul entering another body story so that p'ek is really an "old soul" in a younger man's body?
Dude, I hope it's not that. I'd rather it be a couple where age didn't matter in terms of maturity and being compatible for each other.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Tor, Aff, cast and the storyline does.
