SO MANY KICKASS LADIES FAIL AT BEING KICKASS, though? I guess I'm talking about movies more than TV, ohmygoddd I AM SO SICK of the token "kickass" lady in an action film. I was watching League of Extraordinary Gentlemen last night (not of my own accord, if I had known that was what they were watching I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OVER TO MEGAN'S HOUSE) and... Mina is so blah, and SHE IS THE ONLY GIRL. And she's supposed to be a cool scientist who beats people up while ~wearing leather~, aaaaaaaand I just. Give me Donna Moss over that any day.

And okay I do know that when you said "kickass" ladies you meant my kind of Donna/CJ/Scully/all the others kickass and not... lame action movie kickass, IT JUST INSPIRED A SIDE RANT. I don't know. I am not really disappointed in the ratio itself, so much as I am disappointed in the ratio + the fact that Uhura, though awesome, COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE AWESOME. You know? Am I crazy?
