A Strong Female Persona

I had just heard that Josh Whedon decided to no longer helm the new "Wonder Woman" movie; and I must admit it really bummed me out. You see, I love Josh Whedon and I love Wonder Woman, so it would have been the perfect match.

And reading that article made me realize I have an infatuation with the strong female characters of some great stories. It all started as a child in the 1970's with Wonder Woman - I wanted to BE Wonder Woman. I even had the underoo's to prove it. And I now have all of the television show DVD's.

Then, I continued with Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Not the movie so much, the show is what I loved. I watched every episode of every season fanatically.

Next, came Sydney from Alias. Another girl who could kick ass and take names. I didn't miss an episode of that show either.

Now, although they don't have so much in the area of "super powers" per se, I love the strong attitudes of Veronica Mars and even Sandra Oh's character in Grey's Anatomy.

But I do need another female character that kicks rear - any suggestions?

So that is why I'm so disappointed in Lisa Nowak. She, as a NASA astronaut, had to have some strength and character to become what she became. And she threw it all away. For what? I know, it's obvious she has some issues that need to be resolved; however, it still saddens me that someone who should have been and could have been such a great representative of all women goes out like this. I truly hope she gets the help she needs.
