    I don't think it can be put into words how awesome Claudia Black is! But here goes... She's beautiful and talented, and she doesn't have a crazy Hollywood ego! She has the best voice ever spoken. Ever. I'm constantly in awe of her amazing performances. If anyone says otherwise, I'd argue they'd never seen any of her work, because to play such a vast array of characters and play them well shows she has incredible talent!!
