"a multifandom tribute to female characters" ... now if only I knew who all of them were! (see cut)
h/t: shiegra

What ARE these? I'm missing like half! Or more! I put it in italics if I (or the person who suggested) the ID isn't absolutely postive; other in italics is reference to what's in the scene, since the time-stamp isn't always exactly perfect, so instead just identify via what's happening).

Through much persistence and a bit of guesswork and some skillful digging, all segments have been identified. Many many thanks to all who helped!

At 0.51, I see Dayna, from Blakes 7.

0.54 doesn't look like Ivanova to me, but I could be wrong; it's definitely her after the BSG woman, though, at 0.58.

1.01 is, I think, Starbuck.

1.04 is Ivanova.

1.35 is Servalan from Blakes 7. 1.58 is Jenna from Blakes 7. 2.02 is Cally from Blakes 7. (That show really did have fantastic female characters.)

2.37 looks like Rogue, yes.

2.53 could be Romana 1. She's definitely a Dr Who companion.

3.22 could be Elizabeth from PoC. I haven't seen that movie, but the actress looks right.

woo! you rock!

I'm happy to have been reminded just how good Blakes 7 was on this front.

Women with motives that weren't their love lives (revenge, money, nothing else to do, continuing with their normal profession). Women in plural as part of a team. Women who were better at fighting than men but weren't superpowered (unless you count the psychic alien, but even she was a good hand-to-hand fighter) or teenaged (i.e., they were actually somewhat plausible).

The clothes were pretty cool too. Often sexy, but more cool boots than high heels and frequently less cleavage than the men's.

[maire]

I see you're doing surnames. Two of the Blakes 7 ones have them. Jenna Stanis and Dayna Mellanby. Also, I apparently can't spell Dayna. I think I said Dana.

[maire]

Stannis, not Stanis, too. Not my day.

[kaigou]

Thanks! I went through and cleaned up the military/professional titles, too. Might as well be semi-accurate if the info's out there. (Thank goodness for wiki, eh.)

[maire]

NB Servalan, by the time she was wearing red, may not have been Supreme Commander any more. I think she was using the Commissioner Sleer identity by then. She was never just a commander either way.

She was still Servalan in that clip - it's from "Gambit" in season 2.
