(#15)

Last week I listed my thirteen favorite guy nerds, mostly from TV. I promised this week I’d list my favorite gal nerds too. Two of these ladies have been profiled as Danger Gals (see links below). I tried to include a couple young adult characters. We need to look to the Geek Gal future, you know.

1. Willow Rosenberg, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Alyson Hannigan)
2. Col. Samantha Carter, Stagate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis (Amanda Tapping)
3. Hermione Granger, HARRY POTTER series by J.K. Rowling (Emma Watson, movie)
4. Diana Hughes, Jake 2.0 (Keegan Tracy)
5. Leslie, Big Bang Theory (Sara Gilbert)
6. Sam the Girl Hacker, Moonlight (Sleeping Beauty episode, Alice Greczyn)
7. Dr. Jeannie McKay, Stargate: Atlantis (Kate Hewlett)
8. Dr. Temperance Brennan, Bones (Emily Dechanel)
9. Liz Lemon, 30 Rock (Tina Fey)
10. Lisa Simpson, The Simpsons
11. Chloe O’Brian, 24 (Mary Lynn Rajskub)
12. Millicent Min, from MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS by Lisa Yee

  2. Geekiness can be sexy on a woman. Thanks for including pics because some of these aren’t familiar to me. One of my favorite TV geeks is Cindy ‘Mac’ Mackenzie from the series “Veronica Mars”. She is played by Tina Majorino.

  5. Hurray for girl-geeks! I do love Tempe Brennan – although, in the books, I get frustrated with her inability to have relationships. The author has been married like 100 years – so it’s stupid that Tempe is such a relationship-tard.

    Happy TT!
