In which I display some vagitarian tendencies
Lovely Lori, ljs asked:

Five songs everyone should know, OR Five songs that make Unsouled Spike sad (and therefore more likely to kill things), OR Five Female Characters You Love.

I may answer the other options later, but tonight it's Five Female Characters I Love.



It'll be hard to keep them to five and these are not ranked; they're just the first five that come to me as I type. And keeping to TV shows:

1. Sharon/Boomer - Battlestar Galactica
2. Dana Scully - The X-Files
3. The eponymous Veronica Mars
4. Calamity Jane - Deadwood
5. Shane - The L Word

Nope, I can't stop at five - here's five more:

1. Laura Roslin - Battlestar Galactica
2. Kara Thrace/Starbuck - Battlestar Galactica (Ronald Moore seems to be doing great female characters - I'm impressed. Obviously)
3. Emma Peel - The Avengers
4. Cuddy - House
5. Lilah Morgan - Angel

Okay, I'll do another five for movies:

1. Lena Lamont - Singin' in the Rain
2. Marcella (played by Helen Mirrin) - Cal (this is also my favorite movie)
3. Saffron - Serenity (a big ol' cheat b/c she's not in Serenity, she was only in Firefly but I was out of TV options. Okay, I love Zoe, too)

(Oooh! It's a fifth set tiebreak - I need to pay attention now)(Fuck, Haas just won. Oh well, back to the listing)

4. Scarlett O'Hara - Gone With the Wind
5. Any Barbara Stanwyck's screwball comedy roles

As an aside: don't you hate it when you go into a public (more specificaly, workplace) bathroom and it smells like old lady crotch? I'm always certain that someone will come in after me and think that it was me. Today the stench was particularly bad - it smelled like mentholated old lady crotch.

Be glad you don't have my brain.


ETA: Gawd! I can't believe I forgot Claudette from The Shield! Bad brain, bad brain! Or Ziva David from NCIS! Really bad brain!
