On the one hand, I can’t really argue with Princess Leia, and I’m glad that they picked the Death Star scene instead of the gold bikini. On the other hand, they’re missing Kaylee, the one person I’d justify putting ahead of Leia. And they have nobody from Babylon 5 at all: I’d have loved to have seen Delenn, but I’d have at least settled for Ivanova. Chiana from _Farscape_ is another notable omission. And I suppose that I can see Six being on the list, but she’s way too high on it. Out of all the female characters on that show, she’s the second-to-last on my list of whom I’d want to bed (and yes, I’m putting President Rosalyn ahead of her). Hot body isn’t enough to make up for psychopathic craziness. ---

A list that does not have both Dianna Rigg (The Avengers) and Charlotte Rampling (Zardoz) lacks credibility. ---

You know,this may sound a bit heretical, but Princess Leia never really did much for me. Even her “slave-girl bikini” scene did not really push my buttons as much as it should have (especially given my odd “superheroine-in-peril” proclivities!) – does any one else feel this way about Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia? ---

> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > Crucial information needed to analyze this information: How old were you from 1977-1983? I was born in 1960, so I was in my late teens and early twenties at this point. I was absolutely nuts about Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman and also Erin Gray/Wilma Deering (and so many others – all the “Charlie’s Angels” gals, Diana Rigg/Emma Peel, Teresa Graves from “Get Christie Love!”, Lindsay Wagner/“Bionic Woman” – really far too many other actresses to list here); for some reason, Carrie Fisher never registered more than “reasonably attractive” to me! (I guess I just gotta be the odd one… Ha!) ---

To Tangent and Chronos: well, at least Zhaan from Farscape made the list. I didn’t notice any repeats from any series, and I’d guess they wanted the sexy blue alien for…well, diversity purposes. I made it all the way to the end of this list before it blew my mind. Did they seriously not put Linda Hamilton on this list, saying “unfortunately, she’s been upstaged by the awesome, amazing Lena Headey”? _What?_ Is this a commonly held view? ---

Ooo, Lindsay Wagner is another glaring omission. ---

I didn’t notice any repeats from any series, and I’d guess they wanted the sexy blue alien for…well, **diversity purposes.** Do you have a problem with people of colour? 😉 (Inside joke from the ep **WGFA** ) technically, Virginia Hey was listed twice, Zhaan, and her Mad Max character, personally, I think she qualifies more for her Delvian character, Blue definitely belongs on the list, so drop her Mad Max character, and put either Kaylee or Chiana in instead ---

> [@](#): > > I didn’t notice any repeats from any series, and I’d guess they wanted the sexy blue alien for…well, diversity purposes. Three different Cylons from _Battlestar Galactica_ made it onto the list, and there were also three _Star Wars_ babes (Amidala, Leia, and that Twilek Jedi). Five _Star Trek_ ladies, too, come to think of it: 7 of 38DDD, T’pol, Uhura, Saavik, and Jadzia Dax. And if they wanted series diversity, then it’s even more unjustifiable that they had neither Delenn nor Ivanova. ---

Two more who should be on any such list are Sabrina LLoyd and Kari Wuhrer, both of the _Sliders_ TV show. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > There were some odd inclusions, though, such as Sarah Michelle Gellar for _Southland Tales_. SMG is hot, but Southland Tales was a turd and her role was pretty forgettable. Likewise, Scarlett Johanson is sexy, but \*The Island \*is awful and they might as well have cast a mannequin for her role. And that Twi’lek Jedi girl that you see for about five seconds in the Star Wars prequels? Is anybody really going nuts over her? > > They did have Gina Torres, but for Cleopatra 2525. They definitely should have had Morena Baccarin on there–she played a major character in the last couple of seasons of Stargate: SG1. Likewise with Jewel Staite on Stargate: Atlantis. > > No love for Claudia Black, who was in Farscape, SG1, and Pitch Black. > > Or how about Lexa Doig, from Andromeda and SG1. Agreed. The could have added Claudia Christian from Babylon Five, also. How they didn’t include Claudia Black is beyond me. They also should have left out video game/anime chicks, IMHO. ---

Leaving off the animated characters would have left room for Kaylee, et al. I find it hard to get aroused by drawings, Jessica Rabbit included. ---
