Hot sci-fi babes

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, 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. OK, if cartoons can make the list, I don’t see why Marina can’t.

It’s the puppet-world Julie Newmar!!!

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 am, and I don’t.

I can’t get the list to open, but I would include Gina Davis and her friends in Earth Girls Are Easy.

Before or after the nose job?

ETA: The 100% straight MALE answer is, “She had a nose job? When? Screw it, it doesn’t matter.”

Yes…and what about Martha Jones?

This. Very much this.

Yes, she certainly deserves a spot in the top 50.
and yes…big crush on Kaylee here as well.

No, don’t put Wuhrer on the list, she’ll skank it all up!

When it comes to Logan’s Run, I’ll see your Farrah and raise you a Jenny Agutter (who still, IMHO, looks pretty durned good).

One person at a time, each one a new page? Pass.

Who was #1?

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, from Starship Troopers and Johnny Mnemonic.

Jennifer Connelly in Dark City.

I am quite partial to Rachel Luttrell (Teyla) from Stargate; Atlantis.

And I totally agree with those who have already mentioned that Claudia Christian from Babylon 5 should be on the list.

Princess Leia. Seriously.

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

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.

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)
