21. Natalie Portman + Kat Dennings + Jaimie Alexander + Rene Russo

[scrollgirl]

Kat Denning as Darcy Lewis




Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Dr Jane Foster






Jaimie Alexander as the Lady Sif






Rene Russo as the Lady Frigga



Thor was not a perfect movie by any means, but IMHO it was surprisingly awesome when it came to the women. :)

Mentalist Recs

Of course!

There's a 2010 Yuletide story that's a must-read: What You See is What You Get (If You're Looking Hard Enough) by sixthlight. It's a Steampunk!AU, but the characters basically play the same roles they do in the show, and it is fantastic. I recommend not reading the comments until after you read the story.

Compels Us Past Devils by mosca is a fabulous little Jane & Cho (and a little Jane/Cho) character piece.

Five Times Red John got Conveniently Killed Off by h_loquacious is a cute parody.

Drink Red Wine and Be Merry by erinya is a great Jane/Lisbon Christmas fic (and not too sappy despite all that).

Red Lanterns Strung Along by antumbral is an older Yuletide story about Kristina Frye. Obviously only worth reading if you've gotten far enough into the show that you know who Kristina Frye is.

I can probably rec a couple of other things...depends on what you like in the show. :)

Thanks for the links! I'll definitely try the first one for now--I'm only midway through S2.
