Mike - I like how that line got referenced by Adam Baldwin in his new series, Chuck.

Nice one Matt, great line from River.

"I could kill you with my brain."

River could kill Sarah with her brain...but then John Connor would find out about it, send the River Tam/Summer Glau version of the Terminator back in time to kill River (which would probably be a more interesting match up). That whole time traveling mamma's boy protective thing kind of takes the fun out of it. But head to head, minus the time travel crap, Sarah doesn't stand a chance.

@Robert, in H'wood's defense regarding Starbuck, she didn't fit in the military. That's why despite her prowess with a stick she was relegated to a flying museum. I agree with your overall sentiment, but it's not like she was considered a "good" soldier before the destruction of the colonies.

River Tam should take Sarah Connor hands down. Then she'd say something an autistic 12 year might say. Her crazy is better than Sarah Connor's crazy, which is just an intensity.

I'd be more impressed with Starbuck, but I hate McCauley Caulkin too much. Plus, I get irritated at the Hollywood stereotype version of what they think a badass is, and how they'd fit into the military.

a) Starbuck kicked the crap out of a Cylon with her bare hands
b) River Tam slaughtered a roomful of Reavers on her own

I think there's not enough respect for the space-faring badasses here! :)

The difference between Sidney Bristow and The Bride is the difference between network TV and a Quentin Taratino movie. Give them a level playing field and Sidney's got a shot. Plus, she's got heart ... which for women is a stronger motivation than simply revenge.

Ripley has the most resurrections, which has to count for something.

Of course, the Bride brought herself back from the grave, literally.

I chose Sydney, she looks strikingly like Electra, so I'm thinking they might be twins at heart, and with that, she would certainly have some mad skillz.... :)

Sidney has some fans...The Bride is in for a fight!

Yeah - watch Kill Bill - both movies. They are both good. I think I actually like the second half a bit better than the first. But overall it is a good movie.

Good point Scotty.

Kory, you should see Kill Bill...at least, the first volume is awesome and action-packed, the second is a bit slower.

Worth it though.

Re: Ultimate Bad Ass: The Women’s Bracket

Kory — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:27:28 -0000

@ mike - your are correct. Sidney got my vote as I have not seen Kill Bill.

Re: Ultimate Bad Ass: The Women’s Bracket

Scotty Dub — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:22:59 -0000

@Mike -just because she can fire a weapon, doesn't make her the baddestass, at least for me. The other two, were good with weapons as well as hand to hand combat. Just my .02. ;-)

The problem will come when she's not as well known as the others, and hence doesn't get the vote.

Not everyone saw Kill Bill.

@ Mike - yeah, I think the Bride can take on any of the women and probably most of the men in their bracket. She is going to go Ginsu Knife all over the competition...

@ Scotty - Not sure how Ripley can "pale"...I mean, she single handedly kills like a bazillion aliens, not to mention starring down the mother bug and pumping grenades into her...

She's pretty bad ass.

It's definitely an imperfect science Mike :-) Happens in the NCAA tournament every year.

I'd like to see the Bride vs Sara Connor, all the rest pale by comparison.

Wow, so I gave her a lower seeding than she deserved...well, that happens I guess. Should be interesting to see a #6 in the finals.

#6 does seem pretty low right now.

Re: Ultimate Bad Ass: The Women’s Bracket

Steven — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:25:31 -0000

Oh yeah, I did vote for The Bride. No way Sydney could kick her ass.
