Kick Some Sci-Fi Ass
We all love lists, right?
Well,
The usual suspects pop up on the list. I'd have been shocked if Lucy Lawless didn't appear, same with Gillian Anderson. However, there is one glaring omission - where the hell is Sigourney Weaver for Elen Ripley? She only stars in four of the most widely known sci-fi films and has spanned two decades. Even Wikipedia says that the "he character was heralded as a seminal role for challenging gender stereotypes, particularly in the science fiction genre ..." She loses her spot to some girl from Terminator 3?! Hell, for that matter, where is Linda Hamilton for her Sarah Conner?
Are there any others missing that I'm not thinking of? How about others that don't belong on the list?
Check out the full ten at LesiaNation and then come back and tell us what you think!

I'm happy seeing Lucy, Renee, Gillian, Milla and Claudia on there. And to a lesser extent Amanda and Kristanna.
I don't particularly care for the other three though and don't really asociate them with sci-fi either. More like generic hollywood actresses.
As for Kristanna being on there. While there are a few others that could have qualified, it's nice to see a sci-fi bad girl on the list. And just because Pink Kryptonite is connected to Gaygamer, I'd like to add that she played the main female character on the Mortal Kombat TV series (which I quite liked). More fantasy than sci-fi, but still.
No Katee Sackhoff or Mary McDonnell?
No Kate Mulgrew or Gates McFadden?
No Carrie Fisher?
I agree, there are a lot of women that should of been on the list.
But I'm just happy still, that Lucy Lawless is number one. Technically, thats all that matters =P
