30 Days of Awesome Female TV Characters Meme: Blake's 7

Jan 24, 2011 12:52

I've kept seeing this around, and while I never want to do a consecutive 30 Days Meme again, ever, I like the idea of this one. I have, however, left out Doctor Who, because that would have taken up all 30 days, and infinitejoys is doing very nice work on that front as it is.

So, starting with Blake's 7 in a sort of reverse chronological order, because ( Read more... )

Interesting concept - does it have to be 30 TV characters though? I'm not sure I know 30, even with all the awesome DW women there are!

Well, I think that one can alter memes as one chooses. Why not? :-D If I fail to think of 30, I'll stop there. And you could always do 30 awesome female book characters - infinitejoys changed it to DW females. And I think it was originally meant of be TV sf, anyway so :-p to the rules!

But given there have been about 30 companions in DW now, and most of them are female, it gives a pretty good chance of getting it up to 30 once you throw in a few other awesome females to round it off! Oh, actually, if you throw in the BF companions (and you'd have to, wouldn't you?) there must be more than 30... Which was why I excluded it in the interests of not just pointing at nfinitejoys's lj with a "what she said".

Yeah, but I'd quite like to *not* be totally predictable in doing just 30 Awesome Who Women! Maybe I'll make a list of my fave Who women, then add other TV females, and see what number I reach that way - and go from there!

That was kind of what I thought, so I excluded them altogether, or I'd have trouble. :-)

Sounds like a plan! And I'd definitely be interested to see what you come up with. I seem to remember first finding you on LJ in your praise of Liz!

It strikes me that given Ace's age, it's quite possible she watched at least some of B7, and it gave her Ideas.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Who could populate the meme even if companions were ruled out of bounds.

That would be true, if B7 didn't so obviously take place in the same universe as DW, so couldn't be a fictional programme in that universe. :-D

It probably could, so I've excluded it in fairness to everything else.

"Hang on," Clyde said. He dug out his mobile telephone, pressed a few buttons, and then held it up. "Can you say that again?"
The blue alien on the viewscreen looked puzzled. "We require the human bonding ceremony," it repeated, speaking slowly and clearly.
Clyde pressed another button on the telephone, and grinned. "That's just brilliant! Actual aliens who actually want to make us do it! Wait 'til I send this to Luke and Maria." He tapped at the keypad again; the telephone obligingly replayed his recording of the alien's demand. "Maybe I'll use it for my ringtone."
The alien's expression was shading from bafflement to annoyance.
"Human," it said. "We are the observers. You are the subjects."
"If you say so." Clyde returned his telephone to his pocket, and sat down on the double bed that was the cell's only piece of furniture. "I suppose we'd better get started, then."
"I don't believe this!" Rani turned her best glare on him. "Those aliens want to make us- well, you know. And you're just going along with it!"
"It's a terrible sacrifice," ( ... )

Aw, that was very nice. You should definitely post it somewhere. :-)
