After seeing her kick ass I lament the fact that the Wonder Woman pilot she was cast in was so horrible.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

She definitely qualifies for Amazonian.

I loved watching her stalk down the hallway whipping out her ... whatever those weapons were. And kicking Hydra ass. In multiples.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Batons!
She's got swagger. And according to Wikipedia a PhD in biology.

PC - the character? or the actress? whichever .. she's FIERCE (in a non-Tyra Banks kind of way).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Having not watched any of the shows that Adrianne Palicki has been in, I had to take buffistas's word that she is awesome, but I'm a believer now. How does she not have her own show?

Wow ... that's a good person to have on your side ... and adding more brains (SPICY brains) to the FitzSimmons mix can't hurt. Plus - for her - extra aggravating her ex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's someone on IO9 that keeps calling me out, with an aura of dismissiveness and superiority, for wanting fight scenes to be convincing. He's not convinced acting aggressive is part of acting, it's just time killing in between the important storybuilding and communication--talkie talkie the wordie wordies.
He doesn't seem to appreciate that I think if you're acting like a world-ranked cellist, it's more than just talking. So is playing a surgeon.
Thing is, I'd think it's easier to tell when someone is intimidating and scary, and then there's another level of peeling off "actually, that strike doesn't work against someone that tall" that requires expertise I think I only gained by caring and paying attention and THEN by doing the martial arts.
Sensing threat isn't rocket science.
But the real ha ha point is that he thinks fighting is just reflexive and anyone can do it well enough. Then why the fuck would I be complaining? Also, does he think, say, Carano can't snap his neck on her way to the deli counter?
Anyway, long way short--Adrianne would have made a great TV Wonder Woman with a decent script (that leaked stuff doesn't fit tonally with any of the other DC properties, unless it was meant to be vapid enough to balance the grit of Gotham. Which isn't all that gritty.
To bring it on topic, I'm glad Marvel got her.
And JAR is totally one of ours, BTW.
