I received a shipment a couple of weeks ago, admitting that because I've been enjoying researching the subject, too much.
The theme is "Simply Irresistible", and the Mean Girl in this one is.... The Borg Queen from Star Trek. Well, let me qualify that a little bit. The Star Trek that we knew from 1987 until about 2005.

Cuban-born, Russian raised, Anna Espinosa was a cold-hearted assassin, the ruthless and persistent (and more intelligent) nemesis of Sydney Bristow, Alias' heroine.

Lila Tourney turned out to be the Big Bad in Season 2 of Dexter. In a nutshell, she befriends our (anti-) hero, becomes his NA sponsor, seduces him, and then, when he starts to pull away (cuz she's friggin bonkers), she frames one of his best friends for rape and then murders another one, hoping to draw him back to her.

Catherine Tramell is a highly successful crime novelist. She's smart, beautiful, rich and sexy, and has some mad skills with an ice pick...and maybe a few "issues" as well.

But Randall scares because he likes it, and because he's particularly good at it, which makes him a most excellent candidate for our last Manhoar of this season!
