I would also say Holly Goodhead is essentially Gala Brand except she works for the CIA instead of Scotland Yard. Goodhead's placement within the villains operation, scientific expertise, and departmental rivalry with Bond all parallel Brand's role in the book
100% agree. Also the concept that Drax is posing as a benefactor while his actual motives are sinister, plus the scene where Drax tries to incinerate Bond and Gala/Holly beneath the Moonraker.
