Ripley's right on top, I'm very happy about that.

 

Definitely would have moved Leia and Uhura up though. Both have had a far longer lasting impact on Sci-Fi than some of those they are below.

 

Buffy, BSG, and X Files are 3 of my favourite shows, but they're incomparable to some on that list.

 

And Megan Fox? Right ..

Claire Bennet number 11? She isn't even the best female character in Heroes.

 

In your opinion :unsure:

 

I do think there's quite a bit wrong with that list though.

Where's Trinity from The Matrix? Or even Alice from Resident Evil? There are some really odd choices on there. The list is whack.

 

And suspiciously on a site, posts about which constitute bobkbob's entire posting history. I think I might make a site and make up lists too - there's certainly nothing to say how they came to those conclusions so it makes you wonder if it's a group of lads listing who they had the hots for as kids rather than a representative poll/sample.

most of this list i agree with

 

would not have put Stabuck at number 3 ahead of Uhura or leia

 

would have added Lois Lane, she has been a major female character in Sci-fi since the 30's

 

the dude :blush:
