Cinderella: Her reversal of fortune story and poetic justice has inspired girls of many generations. Whether that was a good thing or not is open to discussion.
Buffy: Her story of grrrl toughness in the face of overwhelming evil inspired many a television junkie for years, and elevated Joss Whedon to cult leader status. However, she has fallen victim to the "Cinderella Syndrome" more than once, (Angel, Reilly, Spike) so how independent is she really?
Criteria: There are many social ramifications to this one. Who is cooler, the good-hearted but passive beauty who wins her prince, or the powerful yet slightly unbalanced killer who runs around fighting monsters? Who has the most sway on your self-image? Who has the most historical impact? Think it over, call your therapist, and then vote!

Criteria: Donald holds the key to a top-secret doomsday device hidden in the sewers of LA. Jack has to hunt Donald down, and get the information out of him in the next 24 hours. He finds him in the first hour, and spends the next 23 hours trying to figure out what the heck Donald is saying. Can he do it in time? You decide!
