March was Women's Month. We get a whole month- who knew, amiright? It's almost like we're pretty neat or something. Here's the top five best women to ever grace the small screen.
5. Tina Belcher, "Bob's Burgers"
Oh Tina. Where would we be without your love for ponies, butts, and boys? Probably in a significantly less funny place. She might be best known for writing "friend-fiction" and her understandable obsession with butts, but Tina has a hidden kindness about her. She's always willing to go above and beyond the call for her younger siblings, and she genuinely desires to do the right thing. Tina makes this list because she simply doesn't know how to be anyone but herself. And Dina. She does know how to be Dina.
I'm no hero, I put my bra on one boob at a time like everyone else.
Your ass is grass, and I'm gonna mow it.
Let's just act like a normal family on vacation with their sexy dentist.
4. Toph, "Avatar: The Last Airbender"
Come on. We all wish we were Toph. Tiny, adorable, and with enough character to wipe the floor with our collective ass, she never lets her disability get in her way. Toph's blindness seems like it ought to be a weakness but it actually is the key to her greatest strength. While the Aang is arguably the most important character, he wouldn't have wouldn't have gotten far if not for his earth bending teacher. And his water bending teacher. And his fire bending teacher. What sets Toph apart from them is the underlying bravery that she possesses. She's a disabled character in a world of characters with special abilities, but she never lets that become something that would keep her down- her disability actually allows her to develop multiple new types of bending. She also brings the sass to Team Avatar.
I love fighting. I love being an earth bender, and I'm really, really good at it.
Well, I think you all look perfect.
Eh. You've seen nothing once, you've seen it a thousand times.
3. Cersei Lannister, "Game of Thrones"
Before you all stick my head on a spike in King's Landing, let me present my case. I have yet to see season 5, so my knowledge isn't too far up to date. How many people have stayed alive after being so close to the Iron Throne? There's Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, the rest of the Baratheons, and wasn't there a king who went insane and lit everyone on fire? Yes. Yes there was. Cersei might be someone with questionable morals, but she gets things done. She's always looking out for her children and her family and she isn't afraid to do what's necessary to protect them. Catelyn Stark isn't much better of a mother. There, I said it. Besides, Cersei's more fun to watch.
Everyone who isn't us is an enemy.
When you play the game of thrones you win or you die.
2. Lana Kane, "Archer"
While Lana's made some questionable decisions lately, hiring an actor to fake kidnap your child so you can find out if the father of your baby is actually a good father isn't quite as bad as anything Cersei has done. Looking at the other women on Archer, I'm surprised Lana hasn't snapped yet. There's Malory, the conniving boss of the whole operation, Pam, who eats cocaine like it's powdered sugar, and then there's Cheryl/Carol/Cherlene/Cristal. She's certifiably insane. So really, Lana does deserve a bigger bonus than Archer, or at least a raise. Babysitting Archer is basically her job. Lana's not afraid to get what she wants either, but she's also not ashamed of who she is as a person. Lana's aware that her skill set really only gives her one job option, but she's never been embarrassed of her calling.
How could an airboat be selfish?
I don't care if you have fifty dead hookers in the trunk! You lied to me!
Lady, you don't scare me.
1. Dana Scully, "The X Files"
You must have seen this coming. Yes, one could argue that I've got a bit of a problem when it comes to my obsession with cult 90's TV shows, but I refuse to not put Scully on this list. While most TV shows today have some sort of STEM knowledge, it wasn't always this way. Dramas before Scully had characters that looked a little more like Pamela Anderson and were decidedly less scientific. Scully completely shattered that mold, forging a path forward both in the mythos of the show and the real world. In fact, there was such a boom in interest in the STEM fields for women during the nineties that it was given a name - The Scully Effect. Scully makes this list because without her, I don't think there'd be a list.
Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only in contradiction to what we know of it.
I'm afraid that God is speaking and that no one is listening.
Please explain to me the scientific nature of "the whammy."
