I'm old school, Happy Days, The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie.

Dorothy Gale and a farmstead for the win.

[Speaker to Animals]

I try to be old school, but there is a strong degenerate streak that wants the mythical warrior woman.

Tyrion Lannister

Currently skipping through the episodes in anticipation of 4/19. (Mid season 2 right now, going through each episode in about 25 minutes.)

Came in just to suggest Tyrion as the best fictional character ever. He at least deserves a spot on the ballot.

Sounds like a bad way to watch, it's just too rich a canvas. I think Peter Dinklage must have a personal God with a strange sense of humor. Make him a dwarf, followed by the cruel joke of making him want to act, but then send him one of the best roles ever written, that happens to be specifically for a dwarf. Old school God for sure.

Anybody watch The Expanse? Some of the best female characters ever: Chrisjen Avasarala, the potty mouthed, hard as nails, UN bureaucrat Indian grandma. Similar to Dinklage, a godsend role for Shohreh Aghdashloo, who has been a journeyman actor stuck in stereotyped roles. And Gunny Bobby Draper, badass Martian Jarhead. I loved that they resisted the usual impulse to cast a toothpick skinny model in a warrior role (Wonder Woman, Sarah Conner Chronicles) and cast a woman that looks like she can break you in two, just as the role was written.

That show really does the books justice, which is hard to do. Everyone except Capt Holden was pretty much how I pictured them in my heads

[Speaker to Animals]

Yep. The Starbucks and Athena/Boomer characters gave me a rager too.

To each his own. I like the women in the rear with the gear. Trained to shoot in exremis, but not on the FEBA.

It's not the appearance that gives me a rager. It's that she shoots a dude in the face for trying to kidnap her. She's awesome.

Were you fan of Nikita? Maggie Q is an actual martial arts badass.

I don't think I watched the English version of that. I saw the French film in the 90s and that definitely gave me a chub.

Remember the female lead in The Long Kiss Goodnight? She did it for me too.
