You forgot Olivia Dunham of Fringe, and JJ Jareau of Criminal Minds, I know JJ was only a media liaison up till this season new season but she still important to solving cases, Olivia Dunham/Anna Torv and Fringe as a whole always gets forgotten on these lists, not enough people are watching one of the best shows ever thats why!
