I hope you mean Evil Universe Nerys. A bit picky in her choice of men though. You are a chap, yes?
[/QUOTE]
I’m a guy, yes, but I actually meant our universe’s Nerys. Intendant Kira doesn’t do much for me at all and while leather’s all nice and shiny, it’s not like her outfit was any tighter than Major Kira’s.
River,
Inara,
Number 6,
Jadzia,
Valla (Claudia Black from Stargate SG-1, throw her brunetteness in with Tapping’s blondeness, and you have a Yin that can circle my Yang),
Seven,
The Metamorph (Young Famke Janssen… reowrrr)
Intendant Kira/Our Kira - Dirty Sexy/Nice Sexy
Sil - Natasha Henstridge
Do they mean “alien” like they have a tentical growing out of their head, non-Earth born human “alien”, or just any old chick from science fiction? Do animated characters count?
Anyhow, here is my official list
1 Leloo (Milla Jovovich) from The Fifth Element
2 Sil (Natasha Heinstrige) from Species
3 Semage (Kathy Ireland) from Mom and Dad Save the World
4 Sharon “Boomer” Valerii (Grace Park) from Battlestar Galactica
5 Number 6 (Tricia Helfer) from Battlestar Galactica
6 T’Pol (Jolene Blalock ) from Star Trek: Enterprise
7 Princess Ardala (Pamela Hensley) from Buck Rogers
8 Xev (Xenia Seeberg) from Lexx
9 Chiana (Gigi Edgley) from Farscape
10 Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
Runners up
Aeryn Sun (Cladia Black) from Farscape
Chani (Sean Young) from Dune
Disqualified
Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) from Star Trek Voyager - technically an Earth human with Borgish implants
Pris (Daryl Hannah) from Blade Runner - she’s an artifical person designed by humans, not an “alien”
[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir]
The human-appearing Thermian gal who gets it on with Tony Shaloub in “Galaxy Quest,” revealing her alien side as she does. “Now that’s just wrong!”

The criteria I’d use (and this is all subjective, right?) is “human genetic lineage and a native of Earth.” So Seven is not an alien, but Pris is, although both look human and both are Earth natives.
That’s why I’d allow Leia as well, since she’s not an Earth native and, however human-appearing she may be, we can’t assume she’s human.
On the other hand, River, Kaylee et al. certainly aren’t aliens, although they also aren’t Earth natives.
Splitting hairs? Sure, but if we don’t define our terms, we will learn nothing from this exercise!
Leela (who, although an Earth-descended human, was born & raised among a tribe of retrograde warriors on a distant, un-named world. Thus, IMO, she qualifies as ‘alien.’)
She wouldn’t be in my all-time top ten, but a current alien babe on TV that I am quite partial to is Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) from Stargate: Atlantis. She may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I find her sexy as hell.

I was wondering how long it’d be before Lalla Ward was mentioned (there’s a girl at my school who looks exactly like her, only twelve and with freckles. It worries me a little that they look so alike). I’ve always thought Nyssa was pretty, but that might just be her personality. Says the thirteen year old girl who doesn’t, as the most annoying kids in my class say, ‘like like’ anyone. Heh. :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=Asgardking]
Sorry guys, but I agree with the list. Matilda May as the naked space vampire from life force basically kick started me into puberty.
The movie was awful, but it was worth it to see her.
But Princess Aura should be much higher on the list.
But for a new suggestion Galaxina from the movie of the same name.
[/QUOTE]
Well Dorothy Stratten looked good naked, but I don’t think she ever got naked in Galaxina. And the movie sucked SOOOO badly … I mean, it was stupid and disgusting and not funny despite the desperate efforts of Avery and Schreiber … man, it’s ugly when comedians lose their sense of humor completely. Anyway, the memory of how bad the movie was in other respects just made me forget about any Dorothy Stratten goodness it might have contained. I mean, Star Crash was bad, but in a fun, funny sort of way. Galaxina just stank up every theater it ever showed in.
[QUOTE=Small Clanger]
Or the Borg Queen, since alienish seems to be sufficient qualification.
The original list seems to weight costume size (inversely) rather heavily. I really don’t see any consistency in a list that includes Altaira (who doesn’t know to snog) and Aeon Flux who routinely kills hundreds of people.
[/QUOTE]
I agree that nakedness seems to be the standard. And that’s fine. I personally like nakedness. There really isn’t any substitute for it. But there are other standards. I think a function of hotness would be interest in having sex. And by that standard, Six of One and Xev Bellringer have to be at the top of the list, or near it. In several episodes of Lexx, Xev Bellringer expressed direct, straightforward interest in getting laid. In one episode, she goes to Earth pretty much to get laid.
And Six of One is pretty much programmed to like sex and to want to have it a lot, and she’s OK with that. Even with guys as dubious in their handsomeness as Choad. They’re way hotter than most other candidates on the list.

I always thought Altaira was a lot less innocent than we would think, she seemed to be a quick learner. She did know how to snog, she just demanded more of her men
Anne Francis has a rather tasty picture on her Wikipedia page. She played a bit of a vixen in a Twilight Zone episode too.
[/QUOTE]
I don’t know how to break this to you, but prior to the arrival of the rescue expedition to Altair, the only man on the planet was, um, her dad. And this was the 1950s. So, no, she didn’t know how to snog. Altaira was prolly and enthusiastic student of snoggery, I bet, once she was on the rescue ship. But I really, really don’t like the thought that she boarded the ship being expert at it.
