What is it about Claudia Black? An objective comparison of her facial features with the accepted norm would cause one to conclude that she was butt ugly, but on her it works. Wilma Deering, my ass (though Erin Grey’s appearance on “Battle of the Network Stars” in a wet Speedo as a chill wind pushed her nipples to a Rockwell C of 60 wins her points, this was not a list of Hottest Stars of reality TV), the queen of that show was [Princess Ardala](http://www.neonbubble.com/neonimg/1/scifi2.jpg), Pamela Hensley. (note: The photo was safe enough to be seen on American primetime TV, but you probably shouldn’t look if you are at work.) ---

Well, I have an honorable mention. . . When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on [Marina](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD96RQ1-wnY). OK, if cartoons can make the list, I don’t see why Marina can’t. ---

Here’s my top 5: 1. Aeryn Sun - Farscape - I like her. Have no idea why others don’t. Claudia Black is hot. 2. Caprica Six from BSG - 'Nuff said. 3. Princess Leia in the bikini from ROTJ - Again, this is obvious. Why did they include Leia, but not show her in the bikini? 4. Inara from Firefly - I prefer her without the heavy makeup, like at the end of the movie Serenity. 5. Kyar from Chronicles of Riddick and Gwen Raiden from Angel - Same actress and totally hot. ---

Speaking as a 100% straight female- I always thought Deanna Troi was very beautiful. If I were male I’d want to see her on this list. ---

I can’t get the list to open, but I would include Gina Davis and her friends in [Earth Girls Are Easy](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097257/). ---

What about Catherine Schell/Maya from Space 1999? I mean, how can you top a woman who can shapeshift into all kinds of life-forms? Not in the list. Bad. ---

Some more actresses who should/could be on the list: [**Dina Meyer**](http://douglas.nerad.org/journal/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/dinameyer.jpg), from _Starship Troopers_ and _Johnny Mnemonic_. **[Jennifer Connelly](http://www.barrywarren.co.uk/images/jenni.jpg)** in _Dark City_. I am quite partial to **[Rachel Luttrell (Teyla)](http://z.hubpages.com/u/344356_f520.jpg)** from _Stargate; Atlantis._ And I totally agree with those who have already mentioned that [**Claudia Christian**](http://usera.imagecave.com/cafecafe/ClaudiaChristian-SusanIvanova.jpg) from Babylon 5 should be on the list. ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > Cartoon character can make this list, but no Leela from Futurama? For shame. Gotta have two eyes to be a babe. For me, the egregious lack of Linda Hamilton from T2 (when she racked that shotgun with one hand, whoa) is the breaking point on this list. ---

Quoth **Mahaloth** > [@](#): > > 1. Princess Leia in the bikini from ROTJ - Again, this is obvious. Why did they include Leia, but not show her in the bikini? Because the gold bikini, nice though it was, was only the third-hottest shot of Leia. She is in fact hottest in the white dress in the Death Star cell, and the second-hottest shot of her is when she’s giving out the medals at the end of _Star Wars_. ---

No, the hottest shot of Leia occurs in **ESB** , on Lando’s station. Leia is walking down a corridor with Han, wearing a thin brown top. There is a shot looking up from floor level where it is obvious that 1) there are no bras in space, and 2) Lando has been remiss in paying his heating bill. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > 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. And no love for Vicki Pratt from Cleopatra 2525 and Mutant X and every other Sunday afternoon Sci Fi show? If you are going to pick Milla Jovovich as Leloo, do you also have pick Alice from the Resident Evil series and Violet from Ultraviolet even though those films sucked? Virginia Hey makes the list twice (Road Warrior, Farscape) and yet Zhaan wasn’t even the hotest babe on Moya? Chiana, Aeryn Sun and even the two “Roy” girls who show up later in the series are clearly hotter. Is River Tam (Summer Glau) really hotter than Cameron the Terminator (Summer Glau) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hot-sci-fi-babes/502321.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hot-sci-fi-babes/502321.md?page=4)
