Talk:Major Byrne/@comment-25869525-20150117015245

I just read this article from a woman, about what made Star Trek Voyager such an important show for her when she was young. One of the comments about the article pointed out how in Next Gen, the main female characters (Beverly Crusher, Deanna Troi) were all in the stereotypical "caregiver" roles. (I don't includeTasha Yar because she was killed off too quickly to qualify in my opinion.)

This made me think about Major Byrne here on the 100. She is clearly NOT a "caregiver" by any means. She was the one that finally pushed Kane to have Abby jabbed with that cattle prod. And, she was the one that actually did the jabbing, and I suspect she enjoyed it.

Major Byrne is the opposite of the "typical" female role. Militaristic, domneering...in short, the typical "man role".

Love her, hate her, or somewhere in between, I think she is good for the show.
