We can never have enough of not heroines, but female heroes. As for Padmé -- you read my Star Wars essay, you know what I think. Exactly. We can never have enough of not heroines, but female heroes.

I love the boys in some of these shows, but the geek in me loves the gadgets and the kick ass girls and, well, crossbows. Joss Whedon is different from Meyer because all his characters have strengths and flaws and he injects humour into his stalker broody vamp types. He also doesn't present them as every gal's dream guy, he accepts that they are weird stalker types, but hell a slayer was never going to survive a normal relationship. Anyway, it's hugs and puppies from me. Excellent post and a good point. I love the boys in some of these shows, but the geek in me loves the gadgets and the kick ass girls and, well, crossbows.
