One might draw a comparison between Beka and Jenna: tough blonde smuggler pilots, both, though I hate to say it, but Beka's a much more fully-drawn character than Jenna ever really got a chance to be, unfortunately.
Beka *is* Jenna, the way Jenna should have been written. She really is the strongest parallel IMO, followed closely by Harper. And there's absolutely no question but that my favorite scenes are the Tyr-Harper ones.
It's also interesting that Blake was trying to bring down a government, while Dylan is trying to restore one that had been destroyed. You could blame that on cheery American SF, were it not for the fact that Tribune's Canadian (IIUC).
