The script, however, was accurate, and revealed that Donnelly’s character, Amalia, is actually Stripe (Claudia Black), a rugged and ragged fighter from the future, whose consciousness is brought back in time by the alien Galanthe and inserted in Amalia’s body (the original Amalia had killed herself just moments before the Galanthe’s arrival).
