Alright, so, I had to write a paper for my English Composition 102 class about an ideology shared by a community that I am part of that I would like to see change.

I also want to say that my opinions of the characters have a lot to do with my opinion of the actors portraying them.

For example, I've been a fan of AJ Cook's for over a decade. So my support of her talent definitely extends beyond motherhood, and is because I have seen how crazy talented she is.

Also, my love for Emily Prentiss recently increased tenfold because I watched some interviews with Paget and discovered just how loveably awkward she is. I adore that and it makes me admire the way she plays such a serious role.

I know next to nothing about Lola Glaudini which contributes to my feelings of indifference toward her.

I love Garcia in large part because I appreciate Kirsten Vangsness the person. Her theatre background, crazy fashion, loving heart - all increase my affinity toward her.

Rachel Nichols creates a major conundrum for me. Because I think she, as a person, has a fabulous personality - so funny! So I really want to like her character, but just can't seem to. Ashley Seaver has brilliant moments, and not so brilliant moments. But she also hasn't been given much to work with.
