capri0mniFirst: July 11's XKCD -- It's a complete non-sequitor to the meat of this entry, but I include it because it is truth.
Now, about this icon: this is another one of Zoe, in the Second Doctor story, The Invasion, and she is, in fact, at the moment of this screencap actually killing someone with her brain.* See how jolly she is about it, too? She teaches us that killing with our brains is supposed to be fun. That's why she is made of win, at least in this story. It totally makes up for all the screaming she did before.
See, I believe (And YMMV), that if you're going to caption a screencap for an icon, the caption should fit with the original context of the image. Ideally, at least. Or at least compliment it.
Anyway, "kill you with my brain" seems to be its own unique genre of LJ icon (some others include "bored," "squee," "hides" and *flail*), and it was one I didn't have yet, so...
*If you consider one of those corporate, computerized, automated phone answering voices to be a "someone," that is.

Meanwhile, Zoe's deadly brain power isn't telekinetic, but just plain smarts.
I thought, for a while, of using the shot of her in UNIT control, after she [spoiler deleted], grinning from ear-to-ear in her shiny cat suit. But she looks vaguely intimidating in that shot, and I like the contrast between her feather-boa-and-eyelashes glam image and the toughness of the sentiment.
