Day 15 of 30 Days of TV Shows

Ooof. The weekend did a number on me, I tell you what.

Day 15 – Favorite female character

So, I’m going to take an easy out on this one, although there are all kinds of GREAT female characters out there. Scully, Kate Beckett, Dani Reese, Janet Frasier, Vala Mal Doran, Aeryn Sun, Dixie Cousins, Caitlin Todd, and on and on.

But, my all-time, hands down, no shit favorite is and may always be Samantha Carter. And one of the reasons I’m going back to the SG-1 well for this is, apparently, there is a faction of SG-1 fandom that thinks she is pure evil and, literally, should be killed by the other characters in the show. I have no idea why, and I can’t fathom the hate for the character. I really can’t.

Anyway, in the story she’s a somewhat improbable Air Force officer (though, aren’t they all?) astrophysicist who had been one of the anonymous worker bees in the background of the original movie. She joins the lead exploration team and is often the source of the technical know-how (and technobabble) for the team. And she kicks butt. But she’s not an unrealistic non-stop ass-kicker. And she’s gorgeous.

The only real disappointment is that, with the departure of O’Neill from the team, that she didn’t get a chance to lead it entirely on her own. She get her own command, of course, in Stargate: Atlantis, but I would have preferred to see her in charge, taking charge of the team.
