Not to join in on the argument that is over a week old, but a strong female character to me is like the women of my favorite show Nikita. They are physically strong, they can be vulnerable, they don't object to a male's help, but they usually don't need a male's help.

Lydia is strong in some ways, but if you put her in a fight with a guy, she'll need to be saved like a damsel (like Melissa), unless her banshee powers give her an edge we haven't seen yet.

Allison has recently been coming into her own, but she is emotionally unstable sometimes. But it's a part of growing up and realizing that the characters are only teenagers.

And to reference the deaths, big bads only, the ratio from male to female big bads is nonexistent. All female big bads are dead: Kate, Kali, Jennifer

Compared to living male big bads: Peter, Ethan, Aiden, Deucalion, and Gerard.

Dead male big bads: Matt and Ennis

So the math says: 0/3 living female big bads to 5/7 living male big bads.

I don't blame anyone, TW is awesome and I love all of the characters, but the facts speak a true, not the truth, can cause I know adding the extras and recurring cast, things might change. But the big bads are important to the story, and the math says a lot.
