Thanks to Soulfly at Svufans.net Of course Mariska made this list. Others are Holly Hunter, Kyra Sedgwick, Angela Landsbury, The cast of Charlie's Angels, Emily Deschannel, Patricia Arquette, Sharon Gless & Tyne Daly, & Helen Mirren www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2009/02/16/tv_s_most_kick_ass_female_detectivesMariska Hargitay as Det. Olivia Benson - "Law and Order SVU" (NBC) In police sex crime divisions, officers last an average of two-three years before burnout. In the fictional Manhattan Special Victims unit, which specializes in sexual abuse and crimes against children, Detective Olivia Benson is still hanging on, albeit by the skin of her teeth. The product of a distant alcoholic mother and the man who raped her, Olivia relates to the abused in a unique way. A champion of victims' rights, don't mistake her empathy for weakness; Benson is just as quick to draw as she is to console. She has no personal life to speak of - her partnership with Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) is her one constant - she internalizes each case and struggles with being impartial. The sheer weight of her loneliness sometimes drives her over the edge, as when she's suspended from the force for aiding and abetting a wanted man she believes to be her half-brother. Still, her flaws render her vulnerable which only makes her more relatable. Who knew compassion could be so kick-ass?

"of course Mariska made the list" ...naturally the balance between his compassion for victims and the ethics of her (Olivia's) professionalism has been debated in the great divide of the fandom. in my opinion, she handles it well. a job so particular as this one requires much more out of an individual then dare i say, most. hey... i'm reading the quote in your siggy, rambabe. did Mariska say that?!
