Re: Everything I've Come to Expect *SP*

In Response To: Re: Everything I've Come to Expect *SP* (Pete Cooper) : Quite. Bear in mind, Halo is a world where women are in all tiers of the UNSC : military both at and behind the front. : If anything, the selection of a female Spartan is just a subversion of : expectation - the massive, silent soldier is not the rough, silent male : you'd expect from her asexual Mk.IV armour (note the ambiguous name : selection also) but is actually an otherwise dainty-looking female. : I don't think the character's sex is anything to do with the character's : choice and is far from being a commentary on women's involvement in : combat. Up until that point, Cal's actions in combat had been exemplary, : moreso than those of some of her male counterparts. Ehhh I knew she was a girl from the moment she stepped out of her pod. Honestly. Also, she would not have long flowing locks. I realise it's about the only way to show she was a chick, but it bugged me. She should have been shaved, cyborged up and fugly from battle (like Dare!) and then I'd have been more willing to believe that O'Brian was just sad about the sacrifice and not wishing he'd boned her when he had the chance.
