Angie Maitland (Doctor Who)  – Fandom’s awfully hard on her – yeah, she’s a bit of a brat, but that’s probably because she’s a teenage girl who just lost her mother. She’s also very clever and very ambitious, and – everyone’s forgotten this – she solved the central mystery of Nightmare In Silver, singlehandedly. Queen of the Universe, indeed.

Mickey Smith (Doctor Who season one)  – I know this is stretching it, but I REALLY HATE
how Mickey was treated in his first few episodes. Even the hero of the show doesn’t care that he might have been killed by aliens, even sympathetic characters call him ‘idiot’ all the time, and we’re supposed to agree? Screw that!

Basically, you deserved a lot better, Mr Smith.

Jackie Tyler – She’s tough (very, very tough), confident, loyal, forgiving, and a loving mother who single-handedly raised her daughter to be a great woman.

But on the other hand, she is working-class. It’s kinda hilarious.

Dr. Carol Marcus – She’s intelligent, proactive, brave, principled and willing to risk her life for the crew she’s part of. She saves Bones’s life, stands up to her father, and fights for what she thinks is right at every given opportunity.

Fandom knows her as ‘the one with the underwear’
