My Top 50 Female Characters
For tvrealm we had to create a "top 50" list. In a move that will surprise no one, I chose to do picspams of my top 50 female characters. It was actually hard to narrow it down to just 50 characters. Which is surprising to me, as I often complain that there aren't enough strong female characters on television. (Sorry, Alicia Florick, Kate Reed, and more!) I combined the characters into related sets. Warning, the images are large (with the sci-fi one so large that I linked to it; click to see the whole thing).
