Love both franchises and the female leads is one of the reasons that makes them "compelling". Plus I do agree about the issue at the moment with ice queens as the protagonists.
Also milk robots!

Wearing a Star Wars shirt... no Leia. I'm not sure that's legal.
Also, Zoe and River from Firefly and Honor Harrington from David Weber's books.
Personally, I'd go with Honor.
Captcha: are you a human?
My answer: no, I am an alien
Awww, it didn't let me be an alien...

"Weyland Yutani: Hi, We're Idiots." yeah, I can see that being proposed as a slogan if their actions are anything to go by...
Also, Ripely/Connor. Certainly one of the more amusing ways to lose a debate.
And finally, yes. Making a female character an ice queen doesn't make her strong.

Sarah Connor. She seems more insanely determined (á la female Batman) than Ripley.
Sarah has a long-term plan. Sarah is in the game. Sarah buries weapons in her tomb because she's fucking prepared!.

I'm gonna go with Sarah Connor in this debate.
I think she is the most badass (even though this argument is titled "best", it quickly became "badass", so ok) because she has to live with the fact that judgement day is going to happen whether she wants to or not, and has to prevent her son from being killed by robots from the future. I don't want to incite another argument, but I think the terminators are much more deadly than aliens, especially the one in T3.
His argument that Sarah had to do a lot more to become this badass woman, is also really good. Ripely is around military guys so much that I think her ascent to badassery is not as impressive as Sarah's. Sarah literally goes from being a waitress to this super awesome amazon, saturating herself in as much combat experience as possible (for herself AND for her son, John).
My vote for best female protagonist in science fiction:
From a game: Samus Aran
From anime: Lina Inverse

Fitting.
The important part is that we need more characters like Ripley and Sarah Connor.
But I want to know what was going to be the final argument.
Fun as always
nice job

Until a movie is made about "SOULLESS", my vote goes to Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow.
I just watched it and I'm biased; still I rarely seen someone poison a brain with her words that way. In a vinyl suit.
"SOULLESS". Don't judge. Read.

Huh, didn't expect Kyle to do Dan's arguing for him. What's NOT badass about shooting a man in front of his kids? That's straight up gangsta.
Also points for the fact that sarah Connor at least had a reason to carry around her designated load: Eddie Furlong, retarded as he may have been, was not only her son but eventually supposed to save the future after he stopped being a complete failure. Newt was just this thing Ripley found and decided to keep. Rational behavior is badass.

Ripley FTW.
Also, this is the second week they've been drinking like they're afraid of water. Probably trying to let the other person get more "final word" in, but wasn't that the point? To try to not let them make more points then you?
