30 Days of Female Awesome

[snogged]

Preface: I'm sure many of you know of my extensive television, film, and reading habits so it should come as no surprise that my goal for this meme is to explore a wide variety of female characters. I realize that there may be some repetition, but I really want to celebrate as many faces as possible.

Day One: Favorite female lead character




Georgia "George" Lass on Dead Like Me

She's not really a feminist icon nor is she exactly the type of girl you'd choose to back in a fight. But with one touch and a Post-it note, she can take your soul and you'll die a horrible (but practically painless) death.

What I like about George is that she's a supernatural-esque lead character you can relate too. She has her flaws, her fair share of struggles, and she works in a temp agency (okay, so that last one might just be me.) Despite her apathy towards most things, she brings a poignancy to the screen in her relationships with the other Reapers (particularly Rube) and the relationships she desperately wants with to have with her family now that she can't have them anymore.

I realize that this one of those shows I don't talk about much, but it is one I adore.

I know why you hate it. I know WHY I hate it.

I'm just saying Bryan Fuller figured out how to make the recipe look pretty instead of burnt black and disgusting.
