Starbuck vs. Chloe

It's a matter every red-blooded American (excluding most women and nontraditional men) has given plenty of thought to. Who's better -- Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica or Chloe from 24? Here's a handy tale of the tape.

Marital status	Married, but possibly soon to be a widow	Single; seemingly no social life outside work
Personality	Reckless, cavalier, contentious	Caustic, blunt, passive-aggressive
Idea of a good time	All-night poker game, more than one bottle of booze	No idea, but I'll bet it has something to do with computers
Respect for authority	Indirectly participated in mutiny; struck XO	No one is safe from snide remarks
Problem solving	Repaired and escaped in downed Cylon raptor; duct-taped "Starbuck" to bottom to identify as friendly	Spilled coffee on Homeland Security grunt to steal "WET list" from his computer
Technical skill	Expert in military spacecraft and weapons	Come on
Will risk job to:	Return to Caprica to find Arrow of Apollo and save humanity	Babysit Chase's daughter
Loyalty	Extremely loyal to Adama	Extremely loyal to Jack, but let's face it, most people are
Loyalty to friends	Insult prompted year-long falling out with Apollo; this after she shot him	Nothing but nasty to Edgar, but seemed pretty broken up over his violent death before her eyes
Who you gonna call?	Promised Caprica-bound boyfriend she'd return to rescue him, and did, after a few months	In mortal danger, apologized to Jack for violating protocol by calling him
Taste in guys	Involved with viper jockey, professional athlete; slept with smartest man alive	One night stand with government mole named Spenser
"Accessibility" (You decide which to color green, I won't go there)	Many a pilot has come in hot, if you know what I mean	This was first season we knew Chloe even looked at guys
Proficiency with firearms best described as:	Professional, deadly	Extremely hot
Gets on whose nerves?	Col. Tigh, Kat, every Pegasus officer, Dr. Baltar, eventually Apollo... probably would be easier to list whose she doesn't	Definitely would be easier to list whose she doesn't
If you made her mad, you'd be most worried about:	Getting punched in the face	Your credit score plunging by 400 points the next day

So as you can plainly see, who's better turns entirely on whether you favor more "accessible" women. We're glad we could help you arrive at the answer that's right for you.
