Women of Sci-fi Thread #1
Since I opened one for the guys I thought the girls should get a thread too.
Again, I thought we should have an discussion/appreciation thread for all the female SF characters and actresses. Last edited by Suga*Babe; 02-23-2005 at 05:16 PM |

Love The idea for this thread!! Yes, fangirls, the sci-fi woman are awesome...
Where would the Star Trek TNG be without Councellor Troy? Hmmm... I have to say, hands down, I have yet to see on a network television show (minus-cable) where a woman kicks a** as well as Jessica Alba's character Max on Dark Angel. I just hate how that character was pretty much squandered away in Season Two I loved how inspite of being this hi-tech-genome project gone out of hand, she had a vulnerbility to her. Favorite episode is, in Season One, called Flush. __________________

Let us not forget the wonderful women such as Aeryn and Chiana. Well worth the mention...

My favorites:
Scully (X-Files)- Intelligent, loyal, determined...how far would Mulder have gotten without her by his side? Max (Dark Angel) - I loved her in season one. I loved her attitude, loved how she didn't want no part of being a hero, she was just trying to survive in the world. I could identify with her cynical personality. I hated what they did to her in season two, and I blame most of it on the Logan Cale character. __________________

What I love about sci-fi women is that they are so smart. All of the sci-fi shows that I have ever watched have had powerful, intelligent women. To name a few of my favorite:
Carter (Stargate SG-1) Scully (X-Files) Jadzia Dax (DS9) There are others that I like, but these really are the ones that I love the most. |

Hmmm... some other female characters of note.... Nyssa (Leonor Varela's Blade 2 character), Jill Valentine and Alice (Resident Evil movies), Liz Parker (Roswell), Buffy and Dawn and Tara and Drusilla (BTVS -already mentioned Buffy before actually, but she deserves double mention), Kate Lockley (Elizabeth Rohm's character on Angel), Alia Atriedes (Children of Dune mini-series), Prue Halliwell (the only good thing about Charmed -I don't care what Shannon Doherty acts like offscreen, she's a good actress), Selene (Underworld), Georgia Lass (Dead Like Me), Jaye Tyler (Wonderfalls), Susan Ivanova and Delenn (Babylon 5), Dureena Nafeel (from Crusade, even if the show sucked megatons) and Kara Starbuck Thrace (from the new Battlestar Galactica -Katee Sackhoff does a great job despite the show lacking something). __________________

Speaking of Charmed, my favourite character has always been Piper, Holly's an amazing actress. I like Phoebe and Paige sometimes but other times they really get on my nerves.
And Georgia from DLM is a great character, shame the show got axed Last edited by Suga*Babe; 03-01-2005 at 08:14 AM |

What I loved about the show was that apart from the reaper thing, the characters were so real, it was refreshing to see that on t.v. Even someone like Daisy who I found really irritating at first, was a three dimensional character by the end of the show.
