Your favorite female character ...

[BruTak]

Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series.

Scully.

She was both scientist and believer (when it came to religion, later on to the paranormal stuff). That made her an extremely profound, believable character, IMO.

Still. most of the time until Mulder was away, Scully was the average scientific nincompoop.

I actually think she had as much, if not more depth to her than Mulder. She grew, evolved a lot more than Mulder did throughout the series. And her average scientific "What I find fantastic is any notion that there are answers beyond the realm of science"-attitude started to crumble as early as end of season one, I think. She did still question Mulder, but she didn't do it just to prove him wrong. Moreover, the dynamics you get from this scientist-believer interaction are just gorgeous.

I really liked the character of Dana Scully on XFiles. (Before the whole pregnant-by-? thing, that is.) She was intelligent, strong... and yet flawed.

Flawed characters are the best. I love it when they're torn and a bit ambiguous. Intelligent, strong wo/men that are also vulnerable are just great as well.

So: Scully and Sam.

For me, obviously Sam Carter, although I basically adore any strong, but evil females, like Nina Meyers from 24

Nina Meyers from 24

The only character on that show I liked. Stopped watching therefore. But she was really good, yeah. What's the name of the actress again?

Well put.

Samantha Carter by a long chalk
Second Jean Pargeter (Judy Dench) in "As Time Goes By" - A British sit com. She's mature, intelligent quick witted, straight talking no nonsense!!

What's the name of the actress again?

Answering my own question ... just in case someone's interested. Sarah Clarke plays Nina Meyers on "24".

[Oma Desala]

TV Drama: Law & Orders very own Elisabeth Rohm aka Serena Southerlyn. Hot, smart, sophisticated, and it is my favorite TV drama show. It was a toss up, because Elisha Culthbert is *drools* from 24.

TV Comedy(Sitcom): King of Queens Leah Remini aka Carrie Heffernan. Also another woman from my younger years in (Saved By the Bell).

TV Show (scifi) Charmed's Alyssa Milano (Pheobe). Every guy my age has a crush on her when she played Samantha on Who's the Boss... now she is just the bomb. Very funny, and a great actress.

Movie: (Actress) Elisabeth Shue is my favorite female actress. She has played so many roles in different movies over the years. The Saint (one of my favorite movies) Back to the Future 2, to Palmetto *drools*, to flops such as Hollowman. She is beautiful, sexy, witty, a very convincing actress in every role she plays. If she was single, grr if I was single I would stalk to to the end of the world.

Oh, and for those to whom it is not all too obvious already ... Trinity played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
