    I really don’t have any love for Arya (I know, I know, I am probably banned from P-Mag now :) and I still kind of want to BE Veronica Mars, so that was an easy decision.

    I’m just glad my horse is still in this race because last year I think she disappeared quickly. But I don’t love anyone on TV as much as I <3 Lucy. Seriously. Forever. Comedy and women in comedy wouldn’t be the same today without her, and she is just as hilarious now as she was decades ago.

    LUCY FOR THE WIN!

    Sorry, Echo. You’re going down.

    (Unless everyone here is an infant who doesn’t remember the glory of Xena, Warrior Princess, in which case I will sit in a corner over here and weep.)

      Gabrielle had a deeply satisfying character arc.

        Echo on the other hand was probably one of the least interesting characters on her show. Actually, as interesting as I found Dollhouse, the lady characters failed to thrill me. Sierra and November’s back stories were basically both generic damaged woman. Wah Wah Wah.

          I haven’t watched the second season yet, but I agree with you. Part of this is simply because Dushku is a limited actress. I never really understood why Whedon liked her so much.
