The Rabbit Hole

Aww, I like that. I like her, too. I could see that.

Of course, I didn't say it, but you have to do the meme, too. I'm going to edit the post so it says that.

I'm trying to think of a fair-skinned, brown-eyed blonde, but somehow no one is coming up. I'll mull this over...

From:

Doesn't have to be physical. In fact, it probably shouldn't be because that's more likely to make a girl tetchy than a character with a personality/psychological pattern more in common.

somewhere between Gir and whats her name from Firefly, the one that when i get married you will be a bridesmaid and forced into that pink dress. You gotta have goals.

you also are a bit of Excel, Bender,

OMG
i give up
your just Dayle
you need your own cartoon show or sitcom.
We can play it on UHF channel 62

From:

Heh, I would be so lucky to merit a spot next to Conan the Librarian or Bowling for Burgers.

From:

This is fucking difficult, because I associate you with, honestly? Whatshername, that character you used to write, your Matrix OC. Lync/Libra (because face it, they were the same character) You're her, in my mind, so it's hard to make you anyone else.

From:

... and, personalitywise, a little bit Zoe, from Firefly. I hate Gina Torres but every time someone talks Firefly I think of you and I'd assign you to her role. And sort of a little bit Anya, from Buffy, because of how you just say shit that everyone else is thinking.

But mostly your old Matrix OC. :D

From:

Ha ha, I would have said Anya for you, too, which is funny. Yay for being Zoe! It's better than being Kaylee.

From:

She's someone I certainly wouldn't mind being, for sure. I had a light sabre!!!

From:

And you had a fictional threesome! With me Aeon and that guy from First Wave!

It's kind of like having some speed and a 3-way in Gauntlet! Lightsaber and a threesome! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

... I'm not drunk this morning, just hyper.

From:

Heh heh, I need to be on AOL then.

From:

I'm not even on AOL because every time I go on there I get IMed by half the damn world because they're all RP friends who want me to write shit.

From:

So, go on as invisible, and talk to me! I'll sign on in a minute if you dooooo...

From:

FINE. I'm on. :P

From:

Hooray! I'm teh bored! I can harass you some more!

But we should keep up the three-way LJ spat, too.

Hrm... this really is a hard one to pick...
I shall think on it and attempt to come up with something.

From:

cool beans! don't forget to do the meme, too!

B'Elanna Torres, from Voyager. Competent, yet snarky.

From:

I liked her well enough. This means I also admit to watching Voyager, but yeah, she was pretty cool in what I saw of it.

Leia Skywalker from the Original Star Wars movie.

She didn't need no rescuin'!!!

From:

Hah! Cheers. There aren't any really strong female characterse in the SW movie universe except for Leia (and then, only at the start--she became more of a victim later). And I always loved her snit-fit with Han--"You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all you care about, than that's what you'll receive." Sing it, sista!

From:

Yeah, it really pissed me off that by the end of Jedi she was reduced to "Han's Wife" with "rebel leader" a distant second. Really though, they made the wrong books into movies.

From:

The Timothy Zahn books, where she leads the New Republic rescued her a bit, but I haven't read much more than that.

Susan Ivanova - B5

From:

Thanks, I guess (never watched B5).

From:

Never watched B5.....

*dies*

*rezes*

Ok. I now know what series I should lend you. First season is a tad slow, but keep in mind they are building up to greatness.

...did I mention I own all (at least last time I checked) the dvds for B5 (series, movies, spin off series....).

From:

Uh, no. I think we have the first season on loan to us from Eugene, possibly. I'll give it a perusal, maybe. Just never interested me. Looked like more serious Star Trek, and I never was a Trekkie.

From:

The power of B5 is not so much in the sci-fi elements as it is in the power of the storyline. It is very much the epic in a sci-fi setting. If you had to compare it to anything I thing BSG would be a far more fair comparison than Star Trek (with the possible exception of Deep Space Nine). B5, while counting on tech at times, is more about the plot than most other things. Through the alien races they really explore many aspects of human nature.

From:

I believe that, I just never found it sufficiently appealing in its advertising. Still, I can give it a shot when I have some time (which is getting to be scarce with new shows, Netflix, actually getting a life...)

From:

perhaps this quote will help paint a picture of what she was like:

"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me."

You don't piss her off...... you just don't ^_^

I was going to post a link to the character profile, but I can't without giving up massive spoilers. I took this part from her wiki entry (the entry contains lots and lots of spoilers, but this is fairly safe):

For many viewers, Babylon 5 was exemplified by the character of Commander Susan Ivanova, second in command of the Babylon 5 station. Ivanova, portrayed by Claudia Christian, avoided many of the clichés endemic to modern sci-fi television. She was tough, assertive and self-confident, while being cynical and playfully witty. Her character was complex and evolving, never taking the easy path of stereotype.

Much of her appeal came from her quick-witted dialogue, which often lightened tensions in the serious, dramatic scenes that were the hallmark of the series. Marcus Cole, who contributed his own light-hearted banter in Seasons 3 and 4, made an excellent foil for Ivanova. Their verbal fencing, disguising an unrequited intimacy, often provided much-needed comic relief during the ever-increasing darkness descending on the Babylon 5 universe in these years.
