Battle of the Female Badasses: Starbuck vs. Daenerys Targaryen
We have one more slot to fill in Round 2 of the TV brackets. Veronica Mars will be facing off against River Tam, but who will go up against River Song?
Let’s find out. Your choices are below. You have until Monday, June 10th at noon PST to vote. Read about the contenders and then head over to our Facebook page to vote.
Starbuck: Battlestar Galactica’s Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) is hands down the best pilot in the admiral fleet charged with escorting humanity’s only survivors to a new home across the galaxy. She’s not just a badass behind the stick, either. She can outbox most men and drink them under the table to boot.
Daenerys Targaryen: Game of Thrones‘ Daenerys Stormborm of House Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. You know you’re a badass when you can introduce yourself by that many names and each one strikes more fear in hearts than the last. Exiled queen, turned child bride, turned conquering liberator, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) may just be the strongest woman in all the seven kingdoms and across the Narrow Sea. Oh, did we mention the dragons?
