Most attractive Star Trek women (w. other sci-fi women earning honourable mentions)

[scifisam]

FTR: Yes, I know, crap poll. They always are.

I would only include characters that others would recognise, myself. Regulars, not one-shot hot-alien-babes.


So, who made the show better than it would have been, for you? It's not just about looks - for me, a lot of the most attractive women in Star Trek were attractive because they were strong and capable.

If it were just looks, Dianna Troi would do well, but she'd drive me mad (by saying I see that I'm driving you mad.')

My top five:

Claudia Ivanova (DS9) - partly, and unashamedly, because she was one of the first lesbian/bisexual characters that I could actually identify with, apart from the space station and all.

Jadzia Daz - Because. Just because.

Seven of Nine - cliched, I know, but she was an interesting character as well as appealing to a certain side of me I didn't know I had.

Captain Janeway - though more in a 'I want to be her,' than an 'I want to do her,' way.

Tasha Yar - purely because, going on my RL attractions, I'd probably like her; she is also so, so, not straight.




Non Star-Trek top 3 (from any TV show or movie, but not Buffy or Angel, since they're not SF):

Aeryn Sun, Farscape. Though she would consider me far too wimpish.

Inara, Firefly. Like the creators of Troi wanted her character to be, but far more attractive.

Scully. Though again, it's more that I want to be her than be with her. I went through a breif period of asking myself 'what would Scully do?' and it actually helped me complete my MA thesis.

 

[Melinda]

Claudia Christian- Susan Ivanova- Babylon 5!

She was Bi I think- she was doing that Ranger guy at one time I think too!

 

[Griff]

Rhapsody Angel from Captain Scarlet.

This is a pretty complicated formula for attractiveness. I just went by who looks hot. I'd vote for Seven of Nine, and Deanna Troi. If they were included, there were some pretty good guest aliens in the first series.

Aargh. I know that. Why did I type wrongly?

@Johnny: nah, it's not that complicated; it's just that I reckon attractiveness generally isn't just about looks for most people, really (I was also pre-empting being told off for starting a phwoar thread). If it is just about the looks for you (in TV shows, at least - bet it's not the same in real life), fine by me!

 

[Melinda]

By your definition of Star Trek, hot and useful.

Jadzia Dax, Tasha Yar and Seven- definitely.
Janeway!
Also:
Lt Uhura
Major Kira was attractive- could fight like a tiger. Bajoran women were quite hot. I liked that one who pissed off Picard and turned up in BSG as Admiral Cain....
Seska was mean and clever, but had a massive spam
Ezri Dax was pretty, but counsellors suck. Not useful.


Non Star Trek
I agree with Aeryn and Scully of course.

Sorry but Inara got on my nerves - I found her tiresome; stick that entire crew in an airlock and vent it (with the exception of River Tam, Joss Whedon can take her place).

All the women who inhabit the BSG universe are proper hard as fuck and hella hot.

Samantha Carter -Stargate- Now there's a role model- genius.
Wilma Deering - Buck Rogers - looked good in skin tight spandex. Cant recall if she was any use to anybody though.

 

[quimcunx]

I'll go with Uhura cos I remember her. She was hot.

 

[DotCommunist]

Bladerunner's most bonkable lady

 

[Melinda]

T'Pol and B'Elanna - both leave me cold as characters. Meh.

I so would

Armadillo fetishist.





She'd rip you open.

 

[cybertect]

I suspect I'd have to go with Nichelle Nichols (Uhura)

- She's bloody gorgeous in TOS (and still looking remarkably good in her mid 70s TBH)
- she always seems to have a delightful personality off-set
- the fact that she toured with with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton as a singer before becoming an actress is an added bonus

e2a:

[gentlegreen]

... but have you seen her in that face cream advert ? ?

(though she did recently use a rude word on TV ...)

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Skinny legs.

 

[gentlegreen]

I put "Jadzia", but she was once a bleurk.

Lexa Doig (Andromeda) - Stupid name but very nice bod

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

The hottest woman in Firefly, beyond any reasonable doubt, has to be

 

[cliche guevara]

Easily Seven. The actor that plays B'Ellana Tores, Roxann Dawson, is really attractive, but her character in Voyager scares me. Janeway is worth a mention because she's so domineering

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Hummm, I like that Aron Sun from muppets in space. 7 of nice is ok (a typo that I liked so kept).

My favorate has to be Boomer from new Battlestar Galactica though. Woof woof.

 

[dylanredefined]

Claudia Christian- Susan Ivanova- Babylon 5!

She was Bi I think- she was doing that Ranger guy at one time I think too!

No she never did regretted it when he died though .








Oh god i am such a nerd .

 

[selamlar]

T'Pol or Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One.

But both eclipsed by (new) Boomer from BSG.

Honourable mention to Barbarella, and my ex, the only female trekkie, and proud owner and wearer of a Nurse Chapel uniform. Shame she was mental, really.

There are tons. Not sure I'm quite knowledgeable enough about Star Trek to count as a Trekkie myself, but others do.

Boomer seems like a very confusing character.

Not that look like this, there ain't.

Boomer seems like a very confusing character.

I think thats part of the attraction. T'Pol etc ain't actually characters, they are walking catsuits. Boomer seems 'real' (for a fictional android, anyway.)

 

[Stigmata]

Ezri Dax was a sweetie. I like those giraffe spots her character had.

I do have a favourite, but Melinda is always very rude about her and it upsets me.

But she is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring!

 

[London_Calling]

While Seven of Nine had her obvious charms - both of them, plus the whole S&M deal - I've always found myself drawn to Councillor Troi , the bird from Green Lanes (who's also a Spurs fan, it seems). Have to say I don't know the more recent space drama's though.

Dr Beverley Crusher was quite beautiful of course but . . .

Me? Rude?

Dualla maybe wet (she shoulda had it out with Starbuck FFS!) but she rocks harder than most Star Trek Women! Context innit!

See!
