It's like they are trying to kill us with great plots but insufferable female leads. The show is totally enjoyable only because all the other characters usually have to pick up the slack in some shape or form.
So tonight I am going to be presenting my Top 5 Most Annoying Female TV Show Characters.
Coming in at number 5 we have Elena from THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
Honestly, I love the show but I just can't bring myself to pay attention when Elena is speaking because all I hear is her starting her sentences with 'we', 'come on', and her all famous 'help me'. Even though she's practically useless throughout the entire episode, well, until she gets saved of course and has to give a speech. I strongly believe that at this point in the show they should bring in a guy who appears at the critical moment where she says something preachy and he just starts to clap.
A character such as Elena's is suppose to build during the duration of the show. The helpless damsel who gets saved every other episode. We are in season Six right now the sheer agony I am in from just listening her to her talk is amazing. It's like I'm watching season one all over again, she's brand new even though she's had more play than Brooke on bold and the Beautiful. And that is a lot. What I mean is she went from being a normal teenage girl, to a doppleganger, to a vampire. Yet she's still useless. And what makes it even worse, Nina Dobrev's acting can't even make her character appear cute with all the helplessness because she has one of those helplessly cute faces.
Ok, so coming in at number 4 we have Charlie from REVOLUTION.
This show had so much potential mainly because Hollywood has played this tune so many times on screen it is amazing I even buy some of them.
The series is set in a post-apocalyptic near-future, in the year 2027, where fifteen years ago in the year 2012, a worldwide event known as "The Blackout" caused all of the electricity on Earth, ranging from computers and electronics to car and jet engines, to be permanently disabled, causing trains and cars stopped where they were, ships to go dead in the water, and fly-by-wire aircraft to fall from the sky and crash. Over the next fifteen years after the Blackout, people have adapted to this new world without electricity and due to the collapse of government and public order, several areas were ruled by militias and their generals.
The female lead they picked for the show I had never heard of before. Tracy Spirikados.
First all, these stations have got to stop making these posters portraying bad ass characters but when you start the show immediately you want to start pulling your hair out. In the posters you see her with guns, bow and arrows, knives but in the first episode she cries, cries some more, falls down and had to get saved when she twisted her ankle running. And so went the rest of the episodes. Also the camera angling on her face always made her look like a man. It just goes to show that make up is a blessing for some.
Number three was a toss up for me because it had a certain charm which would have easily made my shelves of tv series but there was that one thorn that kept poking me, hindering me from going passed episode 10.
Emery from STAR-CROSSED
Set in the near-future in 2024, the series follows a romance between a human girl and an alien boy when he and six others of his kind are integrated into a suburban high school. It is filmed and takes place inLouisiana[5] in the fictional town of Edendale.
Before the show aired, everyone was turning up their noses at it because it had a similar sense as Roswell. Now I absolutely adore Roswell mainly because they stuck to the idea that the show was about an alien and his true love and they had all these problems but they never shied away from the fact that they loved each other you know? But Star-Crossed was all over the place. It was like everyone had their own thing going on then all of a sudden you see Emery the human (Aimee Teegarden) and Roman the Alien (Matt Lanter) are having some weird relationship talk. They are both shifty all the time, choppy sentences and my god the staring.And why O why do writers always include some crazy ex-girlfriend into stories like these? It defeats the purpose of trying to portray an alien and a human and true love isn't it?
Emery the character has got to be the most emotionally stable character I have ever seen on Tv. What ever happened she took it stride. And that was what killed it for me. The romance was lacking, I felt like I was watching 90210.
Second place on my list is Daphne from SWITCHED AT BIRTH.
I admit they did me proud on this one. This show deserves an award. But.... You guys know that was coming.... But Daphne's character takes a downward spiral throughout the show as she starts to embrace her new wealthy lifestyle, but instead of becoming a stronger person she turned into Hope on the bold and the beautiful. Nuff said.
And now we have reached the long awaited number one most annoying tv show actress of all my time.
Sookie Stackhouse from TRUEBLOOD
In her famous words, she is the prime example of a danger whore. The End.
What does it mean? She wants to save everybody, yet she doesn't have the strength to so she either sleeps with the person who can and or beg someone she has already slept with to do it for her. There isn't one not dangerous guy on the show she has slept with. Yet she behaves like the world of problems is on her shoulder.
