Michelle Yeoh?
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Which one was she in? I haven't seen the last few. I'll take Aisha over Christmas Jones, for example.

I remain still impressed with Deadwood. Cause, on the one hand, I thought I was gonna be pissed off that most of the women were hookers. But they were fully realized and made their own choices as much as they could in the era.
I remarked, when I was watching Deadwood, that it had more fully-characterized women with agency in it than Supernatural, even though it was set at a time when women couldn't own property or vote. And when the virgin/whore dichotomy was pretty strictly enforced.
Man, I loved Trixie. And Jane. And Jewel. All of 'em, really--they were real.

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

There weren't any Bond women in that.

What I love about the Alien movies is that Ripley is badass and no one is surprised. I'm beginning to feel like a crotchety old woman about sex scenes that do not have anything to do with the action. I find myself muttering, "Shouldn't you be boarding up more windows or checking the ammo? You can't wait until you get somewhere safer?"

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Yeah, Consuela...this. Even though I still love female ass-kickers, I think it's important to remember that that isn't the only way to have a great female character.

I know. I didn't realize it was only Bond movies being discussed. It's the first place I go to when I see "Michelle Yeoh".

I... think I saw that one. Brosnan, right? I'm afraid I don't remember anything about the plot or Michelle Yeoh being in it.
