Mmmm Tank Girl. And Leelo from Fifth Element. And if we’re going Buffy, then yeah pretty much all of the ladies on that cast. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Patr100 \* > \*\*I’m not a fan of the film but Carrie Ann Moss looked pretty good as Trinity in the Matrix. \*\* Are you kidding? Take away the black vinyl, and she’s pretty damn ugly- uglier than most girls I know. She just has a nice figure, that’s all. As for sheer eye-candy, I thought the fem-bot Cylon from the recent Battlestar Galactica has it going on! So did Athena from the original series. Book-wise… hmm… can’t remember any particularly memorable sci-fi book women. They tend to play supporting roles. ---

Here’s another nod to the women of BtVS! Willow is definitely #1 Then Cordelia Buffy Anya I even think Drusilla’s hot, in a deranged vamp way. And Joyce - she’s a definite MILF The only ones I’m not crazy about are Tara and Harmony. And over on Angel - mmmm… Lilah, Darla & Fred - those women are delicious. ---

**Ensign Robin Lefler** , as played by Ashley Judd, in a few episodes of ST:TNG. Perhaps even more attractive, combining appearance, personality, and talents, than **Willow** from Buffy, although it’s close. Although I sure wouldn’t kick **Mavra Chang** from the _Well of Souls_ series out of bed. ---

I think the Borg queen was cooler than 7/9. Totally agree with Leelu from 5th Element. She was the supreme being, after all. ---

Another vote for **Zoe** from **Firefly**. I mean, come on - she carries a cut-down lever action rifle, pistols in cross draw holsters under her arms, and she’s actually Captain Mal’s muscle. Consider this scene from **War Stories** : **Scene:** Mal and Wash (Zoe’s captain and husband respectively) are being tortured. Zoe goes in with money to buy their freedom. **Bad Guy:** This is not enough money. I think… **Zoe** : (points to husband)I choose him. Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want to get in your speech about how you were going to make me choose between them? Go ahead. **Bad Guy:** (looks befuddled) **Zoe:** Can we go now? **Bad Guy** : Wait. The money is too much. Here, you can have this too. (cuts off Mal’s ear and hands it to her). **Zoe** : Thank you. (tucks severed ear into her bra) I won’t spoil how the rest comes out, but trust me - Zoe is _cool_. Oh, and did I mention that violence makes her horny? ---

Bobbie Phillips as the Chameleon from the Chameleon movies. Her butt has more willpower than my entire brain. It just won’t quit. And those eyes! Oh, and of couse she’s cool being genetically engineered to kick ass and all. I prefer the second Xev – love that cute little face. ---
