Stargate SG1 was so versatile. Somehow it pulled off episodes as different as ‘Heroes’ and ‘200’, with each feeling perfectly at home in the show. (lemmy.world)

She's one of my go-to examples of a "strong female character" that Hollywood has completely fucked up in the last ten years or so. Carter is smart, resourceful, quick on her feet, and more than capable on the battlefield.
