Olivia Dunham. Because she's a decently written character and Sarah Walker is a cardboard cutout male wank fantasy.
That is how it works, right?
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thing is, Olivia has much better technology on her side. It's like cowboys vs. aliens.

Sarah has enough random impossible tech on her side, readily available (whereas Olivia has to wait until Peter or Walter invent it halfway through the ep), that I think that's a wash.
Olivia just rocks and Sarah is silly. So there. That's all.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I've never seen Fringe but Olivia Dunham must be pretty awesome if she could give Sarah Walker a fight. I actually find Sarah to a very interestingly and complexly written character who just happens to also be supremely badass, but... that's just me.
My brothers and I have discussed Buffy vs. River to death and back again. It's always a fun argument.

Who's Sarah Walker?

For me, I think Sarah's thinly written (she's a sex bomb with knives under her scanty skirt and a routinely tormented past). And she's always too close to perfect for me.
I think, statistically, Olivia wins less than Sarah. But it's why I like her more. Not to mention I'll take Torv over the Sarah actress anyday. She moves like a person who earned their gun.

serial: Sarah Walker's the love interest on Chuck. And, yeah, that's pretty much how I see her.

Fauxlivia would fuck Sarah's shit up without a single microchip, because she's even more badassed.
I'm so wondering if we're going to get another Olivia-on-Olivia showdown, and if they'll let one of them win. I'm so agitated by last week's cliffhanger. Fie on you, Thanksgiving!

Yes, Fie!
Not to mention the lack of SPN on Friday: Black Friday indeed.
