Re: social skills: I kinda wish that wasn't considered a requirement for a positive portrayal of a female geek. I mean, a lot of us don't have great social skills, and that's not a terrible thing (as long as we don't have the kind of poor social skills that translate into not caring if we hurt people - which is not the same as not recognizing.) I'd love to see a female character who was geeky, intelligent, a good person, and awkward, and not have that be portrayed as a flaw.

Not really geeky but I think Felicity from Arrow falls into the category of nice nerdy girl who has chronic foot-in-mouth syndrome and is a good person(at least as far as episode 12 has told me, maybe she does a 180 later on or something?). I honestly love her to bits and she's easily one of my favourite lady characters on TV atm.

Raj's girlfriend has social anxiety and so far it's been treated fairly realistically. Problem is the lack of social skills means it's complicated for her to be a regular character - how can you have a consistent working character who can't socialize with anyone? How would that work and remain entertaining and productive? It may be realistic but it's like making an anti-social character... if they never interact with anyone you can't get much out of them.
