I really, really wish Soolin had more to do. But I do think she's a nice counterpoint to Avon - somehow, all that cool cynicism coming from someone who is young, pretty and above all female seems to change its meaning. And, also, she draws attention to how erratic he's become in contrast to S1 Avon - my favourite example is in Assassin, where the men are running around with testosterone pumping and Soolin just flops down on her shapely bottom and *thinks* her way through.
Yeah, I wasn't saying she was entirely plot neutral, and she does have a good episode in 'Assassin' (well somebody had to). But her *character* is hardly developed until 'Warlord' and 'Blake' -- before then she could be summed up in a sentence.
And I personally rather object to 'pretty and above all female' changing anything. (The fat and ugly have feelings too.)
