Well I've never liked the "I'm gonna cry over something everyone else is being stoic about just because I'm a girl" deal in the old sci-fi shows.
I mean in RL I have been raised around girls that can kickass and take a beating with the best of the guys (martial arts mainly, watching streetfights as well
) and I've always liked em especially now that I'm not a little kid anymore and realize just how hot some of them really are.
Anyway moving on I like that in modern day TV we see women that can be smart, kickass tough and good looking all at the same time.
