Voted for Amy, I really do need to watch PoI properly and not just a few eps here and there, the Root and Shaw pairing is a big draw for me.

The show as a whole is amazing. Root and Shaw are indeed very well written - kinda refreshing to see female characters like that being written so finely well and not for fan baiting. I started watching because Amy was on it and I'm a fan, and I ended up falling in love with the whole show.

I really love that the show runners and the writers don't really make a distinction between what's cool for a guy to do on the show and what's cool for a girl to do on the show. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I like the fact that they don't seem to go "Oh that would be a cool thing for a girl to do." They're a lot more like "Oh that's just a very cool thing for Root to do, regardless of gender." Which is quite refreshing and amazing.

Great great show. And seriously, Amy Acker rocks in it!

I get what you mean and I love the idea, they're not like "oh look here's a girl doing something badass instead of a guy" etc. there's no distinction and the males and females are written exactly the same, as it should be.

Exactly, and it's awesome. Actually, the girls are probably even more badass than the guys on this hsow.


Also, in case anyone wants, Amy made it to the Elite 8 on that E! Online poll. She's against tough competition, but in case anyone wants to throw in a few votes (I don't think there's a limit) here's the link: Girl on Top 2015: Vote in the Elite 8 Now! | E! Online
