Wow, I'm on a chatty roll.

This is not about Gan's relation with any unnamed females, even if that's how it started.

About whether the phrase "my woman" was demeaning in 1979 or in the B7 future (or in the 1979 translation of the B7 future which, of course, really happened/will happen), in Dune there's a part where Gurney Hallek is asked to play the song "My Woman" for a dying man (that's not what this is about either). It's a sentimental ditty, especially for all these guys who know that they're likely to never see their homeworld or the 'girl they left behind' again (even the ones who are likely to live to the end of the chapter).

At any rate, I don't think Gurney was being asked to play a really demeaning, crude, drinking song.

But, that pales beside the greater issue -

The B7 characters are clearly reincarnated a few centuries later in Dune!

(that's what this is about)

Gurney, since he uses the phrase "my woman" must be Gan!

Duncan Idaho is clearly Vila (who is paying off his bad Karma debt for cowardice by being reincarnated as a heroic type [again, and again, and again . . . he's got a lot of debt to pay off])

Orac was Thufir.

Blake was Leto (guy tried to change the system for the better, failed).

Blake's lawyer was Yueh.

Avon was rather peeved to come back as Paul (IMO, especially as Cally was Jessica and Dayna was Chani).

Soolin was Alia.

Tarrant was Feyd (who, in Paul's opinion, talked too much)

And, before the TN descend in mass, I would like to point out how often we're told Feyd would have been dandy with better parenting.

Oh, and Travis was Fenring.

And Servalan was his wife.

The worms were all those large plot devices they were forever running into.
