Thought it may be a good idea for us to rank who we feel the top 5 hottest women of Scifi are. I will go first...

1. Alyson Hannigan (Willow - Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
2. Jessica Alba (Max Guevera - Dark Angel)
3. Lexa Doig (Romie - Adromeda)
4. Lauren Lee Smith (Emma deLauro - Mutant X)
5. Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra - Firefly)

Does anyone think it is a coincidence that 2 hotties are from Joss Whedon's shows? I think not. Let me know what you think is the top 5.

What, no Seven of Nine?

Posted: Jun 03 2008 04:30 pm

I did say it is my top 5, she would make the top 20, maybe top 10, but hey put up your list and see who you want for yours

I hate it when people label shows like Buffy or Xena as sci-fi. It's like science-fiction has become the garbage bin for anything that doesn't fit into the usual categories like sitcom, drama, soap opera etc.

Now that this has been said, here's my list. It would look different if I considered shows like Buffy to be sci-fi, but I don't, so it doesn't.

1. Jewel Staite (Kaylee - Firefly)
2. Gigi Edgley (Chiana - Farscape)
3. Morena Baccarin (Inara - Firefly)
4. Joelene K. Blalock (T'Pol - Enterprise)
5. Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter - Stargate)

I suppose I could have made the title broader to include it is SciFi / Fantasy, but I thought Scifi would be sufficient, as well, I went with the classifications generally held on such sites as IMDB. Sorry if it throws off your list, but enh whatever.

It's just a pet peeve of mine. Whenever people label fantasy shows as sci-fi, I always get the distinct impression that what they are trying to do is to create a category "nerd show" without actually calling it that. But enough of me derailing this thread. Let's see some lists.

The chick from Lexx.

Posted: Jun 03 2008 06:13 pm

In no particular order:

Tricia Helfer (Six - Battlestar Galactica)
Jessica Alba (Max Guevera - Dark Angel)
Jewel Staite (Kaylee - Firefly)
Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully - The X-Files)
Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennet - Heroes)

1. jessica alba
2. jessica alba
3. that chick 7 of 9

i dont watch enough sci fi or tv in general to make a list. but i never thought alyson hannigan was hot. she does have some sort of cuteness to her, in a girl next door kind of way, but she was just too ginger/pasty imo

Posted: Jun 03 2008 06:33 pm

1. Amy Acker - "Winifred Burkle & Illyria" - Angel
2. Eliza Dushku - "Faith Lehane" - Buffy & Angel
3. Jeri Ryan - "7 of 9" - Star Trek: Voyager
4. Jorja Fox - "Sara Sidle" - CSI*
5. Kristen Cloke - "Shane Vansen" - Space: Above & Beyond

*It's a Sci-Fi show. Look it up.

Posted: Jun 03 2008 08:20 pm

Hayden Panatiere is definately near the top of my list, mm mm mm.

I don't even watch that show but may just because of that.

Posted: Jun 03 2008 09:20 pm

Aside from Buffy I have no clue who any of these chicks are. =(

Knyte, not to be a bitch but CSI is not SciFi or fantasy not by any designation on IMDB, Wikipedia, SciFiunited, or any other source I can check. And to reference I emailed someone, a brother of a friend of mine, that worked for CBS and now, a dream job, works for ESPN, and they don't consider it SciFi. She is fairly hot, so I will let it slide, I don't want to be too much of a pain, more so glad people are posting to my thread.

It was considered Sci-Fi enough to win the Saturn Award for Best Netwrok Television Series in 2004 & 2005.

It is considered science fiction due to the fact that many of the computers and devices they use do not acually exist yet. Therefore, it fits as Sci-Fi.

I did check the Saturn awards that you mention, but I think they are off a bit, the Saturn awards that is, because to say that any saturn award winner is SciFi is not quite true, Consider the current nominees...

3:10 to Yuma
No Country for Old Men
Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises)
Naomi Watts (Eastern Promises)
Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men)
Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma)
Freddie Highmore (August Rush)
Mark Mancina (August Rush)
Eastern Promises
Dexter
The Closer
Michael C Hall (Dexter)
Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
BIG
The Sergio Leone Anthology
The Sony Chiba Collection
Planet Earth

Now I don't know about you, but there seems to be a lot of westerns and crime dramas on this list, and then freakin' August Rush & Big, by that classification everything is Scifi and or Fantasy to the Saturn Awards, Granted in Big Tom Hanks goes from being a kid to adult and back, I'll give you that but come on.

I just checked out the links, and aside from the last one, the powerpoint wouldn't load on any computer I tried it on, they all lead to say that the technology is real, there is arguement on the acoustic archeology, but like many things in science you have experts on both sides arguing that it works or that it doesn't. Also the DNA scan mentioned from an Episode of CSI Miami, granted may not look like an 80's music video, but the scan, and a real graphical representation of it in a lab exist, and in the more funded the lab the better the display and scan, like the FBI lab in Quantico, VA. If need be, I can place a call to my Cousin's Husband who works for the FBI, granted in white collar crimes in Chicago, to have him get the info for me that they use such devices on similar scales everyday.

Ask any police detective or Forensic expert about the Fingerprint machine, and they'll all tell you it doesn't exist like it does in CSI. (Trust me, they wish you could scan a fingerprint and get a hit in a database in the span of a few minutes.) Not to mention the DNA equipment. The DNA ID systems exsists, but it too expensive for police stations to carry. 99% of all the law enforcement in the US, sends DNA to independant labs to analize and send back the results for a large fee.

Posted: Jun 04 2008 12:43 pm

ok the fingerprint machine, it does exist, is that quick, depends, I am willing to be the ones with the FBI, CIA, NSA etc. are. As well, you admit the DNA machines exist, but 99% don't have it. That only makes it fiction, not Science Fiction. Now then let us get back to what this thread is about, hot ass broads in SciFi on TV, fantasy included. As well I do agree that the girl from CSI is hot, so no arguement on that.

Posted: Jun 04 2008 03:09 pm

99% is an exaggeration. its more like 98.328%

You are incorrect, Buffy is sci-fi. See season four for a whole lot of proof. Granted, the fantasy out weighs the sci-fi. Oh wait, and Willow did have a robot stalker boyfriend in season one!

That's why I call it fantasy. Having some advanced technology here and there doesn't make it a sci-fi show for me. Eraser is still an action movie, no matter how advanced the weapons may be. Except for space operas and shows that are set in the future, it's hard to say where exactly to draw the line though.

Also, Demolition Man is more of an action movie than a sci-fi movie. All this categorization is communism, so instead I grouped everything together into two categories: Entertainment and Crap. I was considering a third category called: Fantacrap.

Fantasy and Sci-Fi to me are 2 different categories. Buffy/Angel would be fantasy. Narnia is fantasy. Terminator is Sci-Fi.

Posted: Jun 17 2008 03:04 am

Then you have people who say Star Wars is really fantasy, which is actually kinda true. So the line really gets blurred. Shocked

Oh, uh, another awesome sci-fi lady? Uh... Molly Ringwald from Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone.

And yes, I'm kidding.

Well Sci-Fi = Science Fiction.

Not a lot of science in a bow and arrow or magic. Vampires too, not very scientific. Talking Lions in Narnia? Not something I'm aware Harvard is working on at the moment, so must be fantasy not science.

When did this separation become hard? Razz

I do love how a post about hot ladies, as I intended it to be, go turned into such a debate, not that that is bad, but it is funny to see where posts go
