Welcome back to "Fearless Femmes", a show running down some of the toughest leading ladies of all time! Of course, you can't do a show like this without paying tribute to perhaps the greatest action heroine of all-time, Sigourney Weaver as "our lady of survival", Ellen Ripley. Join us as we run down her role in the series, as well as in some of the expanded Alien universe from the comics. Is this the last we've seen of Ripley? I sure hope not!
