#MaryMcDonnell4MrsBartowski
Has Mary McDonnell ever failed you? Me neither. The woman's been bad ass since way back. Since back when she punched a woman and earned the name STANDS WITH A FIST. Remember that? She didn't take shit from no one, even if there were tribes of Native American's and group of Westerners trying to invade her homeland and ready to change her way of life just because of her culture and her ethnicity. When Mary McDonnell did SWAF, millions of girls everywhere had that secret mantra: "Mary McDonnell is kickass."
And then she helped a bunch of supersmart hackers take down a conspiracy. She could have just been the 'girlfriend'. But instead she gave them refuge when they were hiding out and she helped them take down the big baddie with comic effect. She kicked ass. Again. And she kicked as that time she decided being paralyzed from the waist down was no excuse to be a hollywood whore, just to reclaim her former glory.
She was kickass when she shook off her commitment to Sparkle Motion.
She was also kickass when she owned the most successful publishing company and helped her alcoholic/pill poppin' hilarious best friend become a national best selling author. She kicked ass in that movie where Emmy Rossum still couldn't act to save her life. She kicked ass when she said she only did hearts. She kicks ass every time she goes toe to toe with Brenda.
But most of all, she kicked ass when she convinced Adama to forfeit a chance to fight and die, in exchange for the lives of the remainder of humanity. She kicked ass when the President of the 12 colonies got cancer twice and still found time to keep shit in check. She kicked ass when she made Baltar come to terms with his wicked ways. She kicked ass when she got Zarek quaking in his mutineering boots.
Mary McDonnell has been kicking ass since the get-go. So who better to play a superspy? Who better to play Chuck Bartowski's mother? Who better than Mary McDonnell? Because yeah, Lynda Carter is cool (and gosh, I love her too), but she hasn't kicked ass in a long time. And Kate Jackson...yeah...same story. In fact, of all the other contenders on Ausiello's list, only Mary could act the fuck outta that part and still make you think, "Mary McDonnell is kickass." Because, she...kicks ass.
