I love Claire Bennet. Because even though they saddled her with West in Season 2, they still couldn't make me stop loving her for her sheer awesomeness. She's brave, strong, forthright, independent, loyal, smart, and yet still flawed and human. She's walked through fire, gone through some of the worst things a person can face, and she's still standing. I love her.
I love Angela Petrelli for both meta and non-meta reasons. Meta reasons: because she's an older woman who's portrayed as being both sexy and intelligent, and given significant screentime on the show--something that's all too rare in primetime TV. Non-meta reasons: because she's smarter than everyone else on the show put together. Because she's always got a Plan B. Because you never know quite what she's thinking. Because she loves her sons but isn't above using them to achieve her Machiavellian aims. Because she never apologizes for who she is. In short, because she is the Queen Bee and she Rules All.
