   Uhm, it really is a top 8. The actual number 3 position is for Zoe   
   Washburne. From Firefly.   
      
   A lot of Whedon’s best female characters are young, and throughout his   
   shows, we watch teenagers like Buffy’s Willow and Firefly’s River Tam   
   grow up and struggle to figure out who they are. One thing I love about   
   Zoe (played by Gina Torres) is that she is a fully-fledged,   
   take-no-prisoners, grown-ass woman. By the time we meet Zoe in Firefly,   
   she has already been through hell, and come out the other side. She   
   knows herself, and she knows what she wants from life. Zoe’s character   
   only drives home how rare it is to see a woman on television who has her   
   life together: one who is self-possessed, confident, and capable of a   
   mature romantic relationship. The fact that she can kick serious butt   
   only makes her that much better.   
      
      
   Personally, I would have put Faith Lehane in that list! You know,   
   because... :-)
