To be fair, Ginn was a little one dimensional but I don't think she was a damsel at all. She's essentially the reason everyone is alive at this point because she shot the former LA Alpha-male.
Also, I don't really buy the "no charecter is safe" criticism because there are very few if any shows that behave that way. You really have to go to HBO style shows before that becomes real. I think that's something show runners like to trot out there, but on a majority of shows, it's a fraud. What they mean is "no secondary charecter is safe." As hardcore as BSG was, named cast members were not removed from the show. Kara was "sci fi dead." SGA did it with Dr. Beckett and we see how well the fans responded to that. I don't count Daniel because either it wasn't real or it was an acting dispute. Angel did it with Doyle, but almost every death after that to a principal cast member was either an actor dispute or they were ending the series. I'm just saying, I wouldn't accuse the SGU showrunners of trying to pull that for the sake of feeling "real". I mean, of all people... they actually HAVE killed main cast members before.
As another poster noted, Wright has been quoted as insinuating that we'll see Ms. McNiven again. So we may have Ginn alive in Perry's body with Perry being dead. I'll miss Perry because I loved her too. But I just wouldn't try to make heads or tails about Eli/Ginn until a little more time passes.
