( The prompts... )
I have gotten myself involved in some contracting work. It's work-from-home, but time consuming so I haven't kept the female character ball rolling like I should. Here we go again.
Day Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show If you consider a web series of strung together five minute segments a comedy show (and I do,) then I'm going with Codex from The Guild. I can't say enough nice things about Felicia Day as an actress. I think she's really brilliant. She writes for her audience, giving them exactly what they like and can relate to. At the same time she pokes fun at herself with a character that lets the audience poke fun at themselves without feeling bad about it. I think it's healthy.
Day Nine: Favorite female character in a drama show Since the Law & Order franchise tends to be my default viewing when we can't find anything else on TV I'll go with Olivia Benson from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. SVU is a pretty overwrought show at the best of times and I feel like Mariska Hargitay brings an earthiness to her character without which the show would probably fly right off the rails. Olivia definitely radiates the strong warrior/protector/mother vibe but without coming off as an archetype or just a foil to the hot-blooded male characters.
Day Ten: Favorite female character in a scifi/supernatural show Dating myself here. Agent Scully from The X-Files. I went through my teens more than a little in love with her. She was a tough redhaired scientist who could use a gun and fought monsters. She was so badass she could even kill monsters she didn't even believe in which was most of the time. Tell me you would never fall for a woman like that and I'll call you a liar. Although I'll be honest: the whole fantasy is kind of spoiled knowing she had to film all her scenes with David Duchovny while standing on a milk crate because he's like a foot and a half taller than her in real life.
