True. I know someone has to be saved, but when it's the same person all the time and there is clearly a correlation between "weak" and "girl", it's aggravating.

Oh, absolutely.

Ahaha, I always prefer the people being saved to be male. :( I also like it when the need-to-be-rescued characters go "goddamn, this is annoying" rather than "omg I'm so helpless save me!"

Word. It's totally possible to have strong (even kick-ass) characters who need saving, sometimes, as long as you have a villian worth their salt at all (See: Alias. OR Heroes. Or Lost). And that applies to both characters that are good at defending themselves but got out manuverd, or characters who can't fight worth a damn, but are awesome in other ways (Marshall on Alias, FTW!). Either is preferable to a girl (or guy, though that is rare) who just stands there going "OMG, my only purpose is to be weak and scared."
