A celebratory poll before our glorious and impending S4 rolls in

[boomqueen]

Extremely urgent. Must know exactly what it is about a certain Kara mutha-frakkin Thrace that rocks your socks.

[Poll #1160188]

You can always picspam me in the comments with examples of the aforementioned awesomeness ;)

Aw. I didn't realize I was allowed to vote for more than one. *would have voted for them all*

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

I'm all sneaky like that ;) But that's kind of the point--Kara is just about every kind of awesome there is, so it's hard to narrow it down!

[proggrrl.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh! So hard to choose just one in each poll!

(So I chose 2 in each *g*)

Such a baaaaaad aaaaaaass

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

So hard indeed! Why must my girl rock so hard?

Excellent choices though ;)

[canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's no way I could only choose one. Sorry, dude.

Also, how can you not have KARA'S WINKS OF AWESOMENESS?!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

I left them ticky boxes on purpose so that DEVIANT fangirls like yourself could cheat the system ;)

Funny you should mention the winks of awesomeness because I actually had a whole internal deliberation about including those separately. In the end, I decided all physical forms of sass, including winking, saluting and crazy eyes, would have to fall under the umbrella of 'smirking'. SMIRKING FTW!!!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Also I cannot believe I forgot the mexican standoff with the resistance in Resistance. You are SO SO right. It combines gunslinging and smirking, the double deuce!

I'll ignore the fact that there are no Lee-centric choices. I should have written in "cocky bonding with adolescent boys". She was adorable palling around with Boxey.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Haha, no Lee-centric choices because this is just about Kara-the-badass (though technically he was included in the sexin the menfolks category...), but I nominate you to create a poll just for Lee's awesomeness. I would be all over that shit!

Good point about Boxey. The scene of him lighting her cigar in the briefing room is one of my all time favorite Kara-is-a-badass scenes :)

Four...

Three...

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

w00t!!!

I just KNEW you would choose the boxing badassery!

[becisvolatile.livejournal.com]

Orly? I don't know why you'd get the impression that I'm big on the boxing or anything...

I had to get an icon worthy of Kara's sheer badassery. This one comes close. :)

What I most appreciate about Kara is the fight in her. Sometimes she runs from things - sometimes she gets beaten down. But she always, always gets back up.

I LOOOOOVE HER!

[canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com]

I used an icon from the same scene! Ha. You are so my sister from another mister.

[dionusia.livejournal.com]

Kara fans aren't made. They're BORN.

Oooh that icon is hypnotizing!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Kara fans aren't made. They're BORN.

WORD x 100. I luff you guyz.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Good call. The 'fight' in her is a more intangible but nevertheless BADASS trait. I loooooves her too!!!

[artemis-90.livejournal.com]

how about her infectious and obnoxious giggle/gaffaw?

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh totally! It's related to the smirking thing, but her laughter definitely deserves it's own category :)

[gypsy-sally.livejournal.com]

I can't decide!!!! AHHHHHH!!!

I'm going with All Of The Above on both queries. There is so much to love, you see.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

All Of The Above is the ONLY correct answer!

*throws confetti over you*

There is a neverending supply of badassery in Kara to love.

[nicole-anell.livejournal.com]

Dude, why is "stabbing the hell out of Leoben on New Caprica" not an option? Either in front of a two-year-old or not in front of a two-year-old.

Bad. Ass.

[nicole-anell.livejournal.com]

AHA! It's in the second poll. Nevermind.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Haha, it had to be more inclusive to incorporate the awesomeness of stabbing Leoben with the chopsticks AND stabbing Simon in the neck in The Farm. Bad Ass indeed :)

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

I love when she laughs. In the ring, in the field, O2 deprived in the weapons room, triad. Sometimes scary, sometimes adorable. Always awesome.

She totally pwns. :-)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh the laughing, for sure! the oxygen-deprived giggling and smiling is some of my favorite Kara imagery ever.

Word! Kara > all.
