What, no Kate Beckett?
ReplyDelete"Other - Leave Comment" it is, then.
Sarah Walker - Chuck
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett must be on the list! O.o
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett Of course!! (and, for OUAT...isn't it Emma Swan and not Snow?)
ReplyDeleteI read the question, without looking at the options, and I instantly thought of Olivia Dunham - Fringe. So my vote goes for Other.
ReplyDelete2nd option... still Other... Sarah Walker - Chuck.
Kristin Kreuk - Beauty and the BEast !!!! ;) this girl rocks !!!
ReplyDeleteOut of the options, Emma from Once.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd rather pick Sarah from Orphan Black or Beckket from Castle.
Olivia Pope from SCANDAL !!!
ReplyDeleteCan't agree more!!!!~~~
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett on Castle
ReplyDeleteOhter - Shaw on Person of Interest for current shows. If we include cancelled shows, Olivia Dunham of Fringe.
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett. BAMF to the max!
ReplyDeleteOf the ones listed I went with Ziva, but other for Olivia Pope and Kate Beckett
ReplyDeleteKono and Cath from H50 :)
ReplyDeleteRegina: woman from flesh and blood (it's a polish phraseme).
ReplyDeleteEMILY/AMANDA CLARKE FOR SURE!!!! THE LADY CAN KICK EVERYONE'S ASS OUT!!
ReplyDeleteOther - Olivia Dunham from Fringe. She's the toughest and sexiest woman on both universe. AGENT DUNHAM ROCKS!!!
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk, from Beauty and the Beast!!
ReplyDeleteMelinda May from Agents of SHIELD.
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk
ReplyDeleteAlex on Nikita !
ReplyDeletebut also Kate Beckett of course, Kensi Blye and Olivia Pope !
Sarah Walker - Chuck
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Kate Beckett, can't believe that she's not an option.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Kristin Kreuk was not included in the pool list?
ReplyDeleteOTHER: KRISTIN KREUK - BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Kate Beckett - Castle
ReplyDeleteJane Rizzoli - Rizzoli&Isles
Olivia Benson - Law&Order Svu
In no particular order:
ReplyDelete- Regina Mills (a.k.a. 'The Evil Queen') [Once Upon A Time] - beside her magic powers, she sure can throw punches, as well as take a hit. ;)
- Kahlan Amnell (a.k.a. 'the Mother Confessor') [Legend of the Seeker] - how can anyone forget about those high kicks and double dagger flips?!
- Cara Mason (a.k.a. 'Mistress Cara') [Legend of the Seeker] - raised to be a badass bodyguard to a wizard and resist torture, need I go on
- Bo Denis [Lost Girl] - I don't always take her fighting skills seriously because of all the puns and comic lines she has; but hey, Anna Silk sure can sell me on the "tough and sexy" part
- Amanda Collins (a.k.a. Helen Collins) [Nikita] - although we haven't seen her in combat very often, she managed to neutralise Alex, and later Nikita
- Kalinda Sharma [The Good Wife] - watch out for her with a baseball bat, lol
- Helen Magnus [Sanctuary] - I miss the days when she was 'getting her James Bond on' :(
These are the first that come to mind. :)
Emily!! :)
ReplyDeletebut why is Kate Beckett not on the list??
Nikita, Alex, Amanda, from Nikita. Some of the toughest female characters I've seen are from this show. Also, Sarah Walker from Chuck. And Lois Lane (Smallville)
ReplyDeleteKate Becket on Castle! (Duh!!!)
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk Man C'mon
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett of 'Castle' by far!
ReplyDeleteEmily Thorne, Kate Beckett, Olivia Pope and if a fourth option were allowed Regina Mills (The Evil Queen).
ReplyDeleteZiva, Snow White and Dana Scully!
ReplyDelete"Woman" or "female"? Because if I have to choose an adult, I will say Eva La Rue from her appearances on CSI: Miami. If I can say a female (as in any ages), I want to say Mackenzie Lintz from Under the Dome.
ReplyDeleteI have to say it; I find it quite hilarious that in this poll, the choice for "Other" is the one winning. Hahaha!
Robin Scherbatsky!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's not the most beautiful one, but Kalinda Sharma is for sure one of the toughest and sexiest characters right now.
ReplyDeleteSarah Walker from Chuck!
ReplyDeleteThis^
ReplyDeleteOlivia Dunham Bishop and Etta Bishop
ReplyDeleteI choose other, Kate Beckett for Castle, and other for Kristin Kreuk for BATB
ReplyDeleteOther - Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) from Game of Thrones or Other - Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
ReplyDeleteemilia clarke anyone? from GoT as Daenerys Targaryen !

Olivia Dunham from fringe!!! Super tough and super sexy
ReplyDeleteKristen Kreuk! BATB!! She MUST be in the POLL!!
ReplyDeleteYou missed one of the best. Detective Kate Beckett
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler on Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with Other and cancelled shows. There is only one (well in each timeline at least) and that's Olivia Dunham!
ReplyDeleteBest if this OTHER be revealed, who are they? since it is the one with highest percentage :-)
ReplyDeleteOther : Kono (Grace Park)- Hawaii Five 0 and Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) - Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler - Beauty and the Beast - Did you not see her fight in season 1?
ReplyDeleteKristen Kreuk....She is tough both mentally & physically! And the sexy part is obvious for anyone to see.
ReplyDeleteVoted for Nikita and Emily/Amanda Clarke.
ReplyDeleteRuby/Red once upon a time
ReplyDeleteJessica Pearson! Gina Torres owns everyone on that role.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one woman on TV is the toughest and sexiest yes it's Cote de Pablo's Character Ziva David. If Ziva ever got into a fight with Kate Beckett, Ziva would kick her ass into submission.
ReplyDeleteRenee Bauer :)
ReplyDeleteWhy were so many left off this poll?
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler! For all that she is small, she packs a huge punch! Seriously, she does that spectacular jump-punch Brad Pitt did in Troy. And her fighting prowess is genuine. Kristin Kreuk is a karate expert in real life and has a lead role in a martial arts movie under her black belt.
ReplyDeleteYes, Cote de Pablo, my actress for life, with all what perfect artist can show.

ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk, Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteI was afraid to see her as one of the choices. Actually, I was afraid this poll had been created for this sole purpose by some Castle fan. Glad to see it's not so, but that is a very, very poor pool of candidates.
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett (Stana Katic - Castle) @Stana_Katic
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett is a hot BAMF

ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk - Beauty and The Beast
ReplyDeleteOther: Catherine Chandler (Beauty and The Beast)
ReplyDeleteUmmm, where is Kristin Kreuk? That poll doesn't even make sense without her! I'm going to make sure everyone votes other!
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler on Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteOther:
ReplyDelete1.) Olivia Dunham (Fringe) [Anna Torv]
2.) Sarah Manning/Helena/Cosima Niehaus/Alison Hendrix/Rachel Duncan {honorable mentions, Katia Obinger, and Beth Childs} (Orphan Black) [Tatiana Maslany]
3.) Juliet Burke/ Rachel Matheson (LOST/Revolution) [Elizabeth Mitchell]
4.) Kate Austen (LOST) [Evangeline Lilly]
In no particular order,
ReplyDelete1)Lost Girl/Bo Dennis (Anna Silk) - the most "Bad - A$$ Sexy" Succubus on TV!
2)Game of Thrones/Daenerys "Dany Stormborn" Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) - brave young woman, taking charge of her life and shaping her destiny!
3)Nikita/Nikita (Maggie Q) - a) beautiful badd - a$$ sexy woman b) performs her own fight/gunplay scenes c) does most of her own stunts. Nikita could kill half the world, then beat - up the other half of the world so they cry in mourning the dead half!
4)Nikita/Amanda (Melinda Clarke) - Nikita's most dangerous arch - nemesis/villain to date..............and still alive, for now!
5)Sleepy Hollow/Jennifer "Jenny" Mills (Lyndie Greenwood) - a hardcore survivor who is ready to go "Whip - A$$" on whoever gets in her way, WATCH OUT!
6)Marvel's Agents of Shields/Melinda "The Calvary" May (Ming-Na Wen) - the mostest bad - a$$, dangerous - sexy woman on TV since Nikita (Maggie Q)..........NUFF SAID!
7)Law & Order: SVU/Olivia "Liv" Benson (Mariska Hargitay) - brave and dedicated to duty/cause while grappling with keeping her own violent nature in check. One of the best written/performed TV characters (female or otherwise) for over a decade now (thank you Mariska Hargitay and Dick Wolf).
8)The Blacklist/Elizabeth Keen (Meagan Boone) - beautiful agent who is so dangerous that in just two episodes she has already stabbed to people in the neck with a ink pen...........OK the last time she was trying to save a life, but you get my point!
9)Lost Girl/Aife/Saskia (Inga Cadranel) - crazy bad - a$$ sexy mother of the most "Bad - A$$ Sexy" Succubus on TV! Even the Blood King and Fae (Dark/Light) Elders fear Aife.
10)Continuum/Sonya Valentine (Lexa Doig) - a sci - fi sexy bad - a$$ for over a decade (Andromeda, Jason X, and TekWars)!
These are my choses and I'm sticking to them. 4 A BIG FAT SPOILER, I am Nobody!!!
Ziva David for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat happen to Kate Beckett. Sad day in Denmark when she does not make the list
ReplyDeleteBo and Emily are the tough 'sisters'. I don't watch any other of those shows but I was glad to see Lost Girl and Revenge up.
ReplyDeleteOTHER: CATHERINE CHANDLER/KRISTIN KREUK (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Jennings, from The Americans!
ReplyDeleteKensi is awesome!
Ziva used to be tougher in the past, not anymore.
This was a pretty easy decision simply cos Olivia Dunham wasn't on the list. Ziva and Olivia are the two most kickass women on Network TV. I have nothing against any of the others(or Beckett) but they simply are not given the fight sequences that these two get. Ziva gets bonus points for the actor doing her own stunts tho.
ReplyDeleteZiva, Kensi & my other would be Olivia Dunham. Olivia doesnt have a role where she is constantly kicking ass but it takes a tough & strong person to do what she does. I would add Beckett & Daenaerys Targaryen as my top 5. Bo from LG doesnt belong in this poll, she may be sexy but on a toughness scale she loses major points when she is relegated to helpless damsel to keep the male lead relevant to the story
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler on Beauty and the Beast!! She ROCKS and kicks ass in a fight!!
ReplyDeleteOMG again Kono Kalakaua left out who does these polls?
ReplyDeleteSeriously last Friday's episode she could knock out 3 tough guys while 3-4 months pregnant *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOther Kate beckett
ReplyDeleteCatherine Chandler (Kristin Kreuk) Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like Beckett she is not given the same quantity or quality of high-octane fight sequences that would put her in the same ass-kicking category as say Ziva David.
ReplyDeleteFor those unfamiliar with Ziva... This is why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm97Obz9Ja0
ReplyDeleteKensi Blye. I believe her as a trained soldier. Plus she gets to use cooler weapons than Ziva. Ziva is pretty darned tough to but...hers wasn't the first name to come to mind in answer to that question. I think Kensi's personality puts her above Ziva on the list for me. Nikta is way too skinny for me to believe her bones wouldn't snap in a fight. Much as i love the show I always have to shut off my inner critic when Nikita starts to fight hand to hand.
ReplyDeleteI know it's been only 2 episodes, but I think Agent May in SHIELD is pretty badass.
ReplyDeletePlease do not mention The Legend of Chun-Li as a career reference unless you really hate said actor/actress.
ReplyDeleteNikita, Emily from Revenge and Other - Katherine from The Vampire Diaries.
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but I really don't see OUaT's Emma as tough. Most of the time, she's a lightweight.
YES @ Juliet. I loved her.
ReplyDeleteAmanda from Nikita rocked in the first 2 seasons, but I hate what they did to her character in Season 3. She lost all of her complexity and mystique and became this one-dimensional, cartoonish villain. While physical combat wasn't exactly her forte (I don't think she could've won that fight with Nikita in 2x18 without tying her hands first), she was an extremely dangerous and badass woman, that's for sure.
Yes! This show excels at writing complex and capable female characters. Well... at least it did. I HATE what they did to Amanda's character in Season 3. And Nikita wasn't exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier during the Michael hand storyline - dealing with the devil that is The Shop to not even save Michael's life, but get him a new limb, was pretty darn stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd that epic ripping-chains-from-the-ceiling scene in 1x11 (possibly the best episode ever)... when Oliver did something similar on Arrow (S1 finale), I was like "Dude... you've got *nothing* on Nikita. Go home."
ReplyDeleteIndeed, and at least early in the series, she was strong mentally and not just physically. Her fiance was murdered and instead of falling to pieces, she channeled her anger and grief into taking SD-6 down. She survived so much crap and came out on top.
ReplyDeleteRegina Mills! <3 Forever!
ReplyDeleteBo Dennis FTW ❤❤ ....Regina Mills should be on here also not Emma, Regina kicks ass and is sexy as hell ❤❤
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, I also liked Amanda more in ss1&2. I loved her scenes with Alex, Nikita, Ari and even Percy. She was a very charming and mysterious character, and although it was obvious she had a cruel streak, her agenda and her motivation were never clear.
ReplyDeleteSeason 3 made her this obsessive, single-minded villain whose actions barely make sense (her logic is quite twisted), even though in s1 she was the most rational, shrewd character. What's worse, in s3 they stripped her of all the humanity and realism she had in the previous two seasons.
I guess the creators felt the need to make her less sympathetic and likeable before they could kill her. But it's truly a pity, because it was exactly her ambiguity that made her so intriguing.
Haha yeah.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a huge Castle Fan, obviously an assassin would beat a police officer. I mean come on! If this were a different poll though dealing with brains, Beckett would totally win though <3 Again, obviously not this poll.
ReplyDeleteSarah Walker- Chuck
ReplyDeleteOh, I like what they did with Amanda in S3, except for the first half where her goal was too blurry. I'm not sure I agree with you about Nikita too. Because what I've learned about her just from the first two seasons, is she does whatever she thinks is right. Whether it's wrong or not, she's not one to sit around and wait for something to happen. 'Impulsive' is the right word to put it, so while I don't agree with her at some circumstances, at the end of the day, it's who she is. During the whole Michael hand storyline, I actually found myself liking Michael less and less. I don't know, we all have different tastes/opinions. :)
ReplyDeleteThere were several things that bothered me about Nikita and Michael's actions in 3x16. One, they decided that The Shop was just "a think-tank for the U.S. military", so there'd be no harm in giving it dangerous technology. I mean... what? This is the organization that performs experiments on kidnapped children for god's sake, and they even mentioned that in the beginning of the episode. So they were willing to steal that device and give it to The Shop, which could endanger a ton of people, just to get a new hand for Michael. Plus, they brought Jason with them and got him killed (I know he volunteered but seriously, they should've refused to include anyone else in that mission, it had nothing to do with Division). It was all really selfish and completely unlike the Nikita I knew, who put other people's well-being before her own. Finally, letting The Shop actually perform the surgery on Michael was also really dumb and reckless: seriously, give an evil organization access to your body and just trust that they wouldn't do anything harmful?
ReplyDeleteUltimately, it was a mistake to give Michael a new hand in the first place, if you ask me. It was a much more powerful storyline to have him struggle with his disability and eventually accept it than to give it a magical fix like this. But that's a whole other matter that has nothing to do with tough women on TV, so I digress.
Mileage varies, I guess.
Bo Dennis (Lost Girl) for me :)
ReplyDeleteBuffy Summers, Dana Scully and Kate Beckett.
ReplyDeleteZiva's sexy as all hell as well. :P That would be why she won TV's sexiest law enforcement officer (up against Becket herself, no less!) http://tvline.com/2011/12/27/ncis-ziva-david-ultimate-female-law-enforcement-crushes-bracket-tournament-winner/
ReplyDeleteOther - Olivia from Fringe.
ReplyDeleteAnd stop with Beckett, she's cool, but she'll never be Olivia Dunham's cool, travelling between universes, kicking Observer's ass and protecting worlds staying sexy as hell :)
Liked her on Fairly Legal, love her on PoI :)
ReplyDeleteI would say that Carter AND Shaw are tied for the toughest and sexiest on POI! Surprised that neither was listed, especially after viewing the promo for the next episode!
ReplyDeleteBones is another beautiful, sexy and badass character--she even put down some bad dudes when she was pregnant! And even though she's a scientist, she's shot several villains....
ReplyDeleteI voted for Emily from Revenge. Purely because she gets her revenge and is tough in a way that nobody else knows!
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett; Castle
ReplyDelete- has been throwing suspects around for 6 seasons
- survived getting shot in the chest by a sniper
- stays gorgeous the whole freakin' series
Yeah, KB should be up there.
Kalinda Sharma ???? on the good wife. or even Alicia Florrick....

ReplyDeleteOther: Kate Beckett
ReplyDeleteOther: KATE BECKETT
ReplyDeleteKate Beckett, of course
ReplyDeleteThat's actually not that bad ass, in comparison to other fictional characters.
ReplyDeleteI know when most people read that word "toughest" they assume physically. But when I read it I understand it as in a persons character. Therefore, I would have to say Temperance Brennan. And Bones isn't even on my top 5 favorite shows that I watch... but as a strong female character, she is super badass. Next would be Catherine Chandler. And neither one of these characters are on that list :(
ReplyDeleteOTROS - CATHERINE CHANDLER (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST)
ReplyDeleteBo from Lost Girl. One word sums it up... KATANA. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd u r clearly misjudging me. If I love one actress performance and I find it pretty good that doesn't mean I don't watch other shows. So I suggest you shut the hole you are talking from. Mind your own business. And stop living under a rock.
ReplyDeleteOther - Kate Beckett.
ReplyDeletemy other choice would be kate beckett!
ReplyDeleteTemperance Brennan from Bones
ReplyDeleteBut Ziva David I think for now deserves this
WHAT???No Lauren Cohan?????????????
ReplyDeleteagreed with both
ReplyDeletesupported
ReplyDeletesupported 2
ReplyDelete100% supported
ReplyDeletesupported abt Olivia Benson!!!
ReplyDeleteCara Mason 4 sure
ReplyDeleteLois Lane is from a cancelled show, but I thought they could put Alex Reid (Saving Hope) also played by gorgeous Erica Durance (the fairest of all).
ReplyDeleteKensi Lost Girl far and away the sexiest and toughest
ReplyDeleteLauren
ReplyDeleteBo is winning, awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteLauren - Lost Girl
ReplyDeleteNobody mentioning that it says Emma Snow? Her name is Emma SWAN. (And Emma is a badass, but nobody beats Ziva David).
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ. Watch 5x01 of Castle and you'll see what I mean by that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOlivia Benson from Law & Order SVU
ReplyDeleteI guess that the site received complaints about Castle winning every poll, so they took Kate Beckett off as an option...That's the only explanation I have.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah 'Other - Leave comment' : Kate Beckett, by far.
Kate Beckett, no question!
ReplyDeleteZiva David and Other: Kate Beckett :)
ReplyDeleteother: Kristin Kreuk
ReplyDeletePuh-lease. Ziva was a trained assassin and part of the Israeli Defense Forces. She was rendered capable of disabling men twice her size at the age of 16. She can kill someone 18 different ways with a *paperclip* for God's sake!
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk of course! Yes, Beasties rock n roar!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Catherine Chandler of Beauty and the Beast not on this list...she does some serious fighting and Kristin Kreuk does a lot of her own fight scenes!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll #Beasties vote for this wonderful woman
I agree Kate wouldn't last 10 minutes against Ziva a Mossad agent no less!
ReplyDeleteThanks for publishing my poll.
ReplyDeleteFor those who have been missing their favorit:
My original list of women was very very long (4x over), including most of the women who have been mentioned.
But it is asked to keep the answer options short.
So its female main cast (or former in case of Ziva) on a show I am currently watching and is on screen this fall/winter.
haha, my bad. thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk, Catherine Chandler on beauty and the Beast. All you have to do to understand why is watch season 2 #BATB
ReplyDeleteSydney Bristow anyone?!!! She's the best!
