As casting direction, you need to narrow down the possible canditates whom you will present to the new showrunner for consideration. If you've never watched the show, here is a BBCAmerica article about the top 10 companions that does a good job describing the characteristics of a good companion (click here).

Make sure you have good argumentation with solid facts to back up your arguments.

Social Relations: As a movie critic, evaluate how accurately the movie portrays the male/female relationships, writing about one of the following pairs: Menelaus & Helen, Paris & Helen, Hector & Andromache, Achilles & Briseis. Use as your benchmark the male/female relationships in Kebric's chapter 7. (you may also use evidence from the Iliad and the Odyssey; but not instead of Kebric's chapter 7).
