Danielle at There’s a Book has started up this fun Saturday Me(me) and .. surprise surprise I’m actually getting this post up today.

So the question this week is:

Who is your favorite female character,

in a book or on a TV show/movie? Why?

You can’t get much more kick-butt than Samantha Carter.  I admit it – I’m a pretty big sci-fi geek when it comes to movies and TV shows.  I fell in love with Stargate SG-1 about 7 years ago and have been addicted ever since.  Now.. with the upcoming DragonCon here in Atlanta I get to revel in my geeky-ness and see many of the stars in person – unfortunately Amanda Tapping will not be one of them.

…but I can still envy her right? I mean.. she did get to kiss “McGyver“!  Seriously though – her character on the Stargates is one of strength, refusal to bow down to what she knows is wrong and perseverance in protecting others – even those not of her own species!  By far one of my favorite characters in shows (I only wish Sanctuary did her justice).
