Things have changed since I was a kid when the Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows were strictly for the nerds and geeks of the world before anyone realised that those girls and guys ruled the world. As well as laser guns, aliens and star fighters most Sci-Fi shows also generally had one or more gorgeous female leads.
Let's take a look at some of them below.
Let's take a look at some of them below.
T'Pol - STAR TREK ENTERPRISE (Jolene Blalock)
When I first saw T'Pol and this particular scene I thought that she was just there as fan service for boys and girls to gawk at she was all glisteny and barely wearing anything. I watched all of Star Trek Enterprise though eventually though and to be fair they only really played up her sexuality a few times for no real reason like those crazy hot evil mirror universe alternate costumes.
Jolene Blalock played the Vulcan and appeared on a fair few other Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows in minor roles and has had a fairly active career since leaving Enterprise.
Rommie - ANDROMEDA (Lexa Doig)
I started watching Andromeda for Kevin Sorbo and the Gene Rodenberry name. It sucked me in though the last two seasons went all the way to crazy town and never came back. I liked Andromeda lots of good female roles with them without them feeling like they were just there as window dressing.
Lexa Doig does good Sci-Fi as a rule it seems most recently she has been a regular on Continuum. She has also appeared in V, Smallville, Stargate SG-1 and Eureka.
Kate Freelander - SANCTUARY (Agam Darshi)
Sanctuary is an awesome show that was made more so by the inclusion of Agam Darshi as the morally grey Kate Freelander. I don't even have to talk about when she briefly became a sort of super villain that was hilarious.
She has also appeared in Ring Of Fire (disaster tv mini-series) Stargate Universe and Stargate Atlantis. Most recently she was in a Canadian procedural called Played.
What other Sci-Fi shows should I check out for gorgeous female characters to feature?
Jeri Ryan As Seven Of Nine or Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi would be two of my faves. Your right about T'Pol, there to bring in the cocks in the first episode :)
