I read Joss Whedon’s list of his top twenty-five TV characters as inspired by James Gunn’s list. I found both very interesting, so I thought I’d take on the challenge and make my own list, Girl Friday style.
In no particular or scientific order…

As I am much too lazy to do the linkage for each of these ladies, please visit IMDB or Wikipedia for more information. If you aren’t familiar with the shows on the list, go to Netflix now—I beg of you—for the sake of our continued friendship!
Love the list! Muy fabuloso! You should make one for male characters too!
My favourite category from the list…. Silver Tongued. I ‘d like to befriend all the women especially VM and CB 🙂
I agree with LL and would love to befriend all of the Silver Tongued ladies. But, you know the one I want to meet most is that Bad Ass Kara Thrace!
‘In no particular or scientific order’… BUT I do see who is #1. I’m just saying’…
Am I that transparent?
Definitely the Silver Tongued ladies take the cake… but let us not underestimate the lore of the Miss-Anthropists!
