Where is the love for Chrisjen Avasarala? The UN General Secretary ~~Queen of the Earth~~ from The Expanse lore? The Space Iron Lady!
I admire her more than other traditional depiction of bad ass action stars who are either a man or a woman. I realised I admire mental acuity more than raw strength. Avasarala is Machiavellian but a pragmatist, and ready to get her hands dirty if needs be in spite of her privileged upbringing. Her main drawbacks though is that she is too willing to get her hands dirty, especially at the first episode when she personally oversaw the torture of a Belter in a blacksite. She was also willing to use her family image to gain political sympathy. But one could argue it's for the greater good, not that I am excusing both of her egregious and questionable actions. As I said, she is a pragmatist after all and looks at the bigger picture and have long term scope. She was right about slowly colonising the New Worlds. Avasarala is an anti-hero but she's right in more ways than none.
I can't stand the actor's gross smokers voice, but she was an awesome character and her voice actually kind of fit with it. It's harsh and untempered, just like the character.
In the hands of a lesser actress, that smoker voice would not have been irritating. But Shoreh Agdashloo is such a great one that I did not mind her voice. I almost forget her smoker voice when I watch her.

"i know you love sticking your dick in everything, but try not to fuck this one"
top 20 one liners for me. she was one of my favorites in that series.
"do not put your dick in it, it's fucked enough already"
"Where are you going with this?" - "wherever I god damn like"
It's not only the quotes, the delivery is just perfect
Avasarala and (TV) Drummer were absolute badasses.
“Let’s go hydrate… with some beers” is said too much in my household.
Avasarala is absolutely the top, Bobby is IMO a close second though. (Going by the books)
In the show at least I prefer Camina, Cara Gee really made her shine

I would idolize Avasarala if it wasn't for S1E1.
WHEREVER I GOD DAMN LIKE! 🙂
Yes, she was awesome!
