It does make me feel a fair bit better to know that it wasn't how you read the situation. As I said, I actually agree with the decision dramatically, but...I didn't want to assume I was correct and wanted to be open to the possibility that I was blind to something.
I have seen a number of people raising Dee's status as a woman as problematic in her death, but surprisingly few raising her ethnicity. I think I mostly mentioned it because I found myself disagreeing with the accusations of sexism but wasn't sure that was a defensible position, and then when trying to think critically about my own initial response, thought, well, I ought to acknowledge the other potential "ism" too. Which was, perhaps, not the best decision. I don't know.
But I do very much appreciate your opinion.
And I agree. Simon (Cymon?!) needs like, a personality and LINES stat. Perhaps now that the Cavil faction is comprised of only three models, if we see them again, he'll actually get to SAY SOMETHING. All we really know about him is that he seems to somewhat fill their scientist/doctor role. But even that's very vague.
