Why do I think it's "genius"? Because this opens up potential for a character with more diverse depth and opportunity. Women can be heroic ... lest we forget "Xena: Warrior Princess". I can see the concerns that the writers will stereotype gender portrayals both of the character herself and of how others treat her. BUT in going back in time ... this could also open up great story lines.
