SF Babes Poll Number 9
This week's poll takes us back to a velveetalicious Irwin Allen Sci Fi series that premiered the year I was born:
The Land of the Giants.
I loved this show as a kid.
The two contenders are Valerie Scott (portrayed by the still-quite-attractive Deanna Lund) and Betty Hamilton (portrayed by Heather Young).
Check out last week's results and the updated entry to the Gallery of the Babes.

SF Babes Poll Number 9
"Harcourt! Harcourt Fenton Mudd!"
Ok, Ok. That quote was from the later episode I, Mudd. This week's poll pits the three lovely ladies from the fourth episode of the first season of the classic Star Trek series, Mudd's Women: Eve McHuron (Karen Steele), Ruth Bonaventure (Maggie Thrett), and Magda Kovacs (Susan Denberg).
Remember to check out previous winners at the "all new" Gallery of the SF Babes.

This is a great idea for a post. I loved that episode. But it is sooo hard to choose just one.

Magda, aka Susan Denberg.

Ah, man. You know Ruth is an animal in bed. Look at her. That little white outfit isn't fooling anyone.

SF Babes Poll Number 7
Well, I see from
last week's results that the "soft" Leia in a metal bikini made just as strong an impression on my fellow geeks as she did on me. She claimed 50% of the popular vote. Not sure if either major party candidate will do that this year...
Politics aside, this week's poll celebrates the distinctive beauty of five passengers/crewmembers on Jean Wuss Picard's Enterprise: Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby), Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), and Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett, for any of you milf types out there).
Vote often and early. I hope that we will know the final results of our presidential election by the time we know the results of this poll next week. Enjoy!

SF Babes Poll Number 6
This week's entry pits mother against daughter.
Padme (Amidala) against
Princess Leia Organa.
But this week, there's a new twist: both of our candidates display both a soft, stereotypically feminine side and an assertive, commanding, warrior side. You get to choose not only between the two women, but also between their personas.
Enjoy!

Warrior Carrie Fisher! Loved her in "The Blues Brothers," even though she must have gone to the Imperial Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship.

Wait a minute. You wanted a soft, stereotypically feminine side and you chose slave girl Leia?
Umm, yeah.

SF Babes Poll Number 4
Last week we again had only a plurality winner, so this week I will force you to choose a winner - no split decisions here, as I will cast any required tie-breaking vote.
I present for your consideration the two lovely ladies of Buck Rogers In the 25th Century, Princess Ardala (played by Pamela Hensley) and Wilma Deering (played by Erin Grey).
This week's poll has a place near and dear in my heart, as a debate I had with a certain Llamabutcher over the relative aesthetic merits of these two attractive women's characters in the silly TV show led to this site becoming the center of the SF Babe universe (at least according to Google).
As always, vote early and often.
Update: Welcome, Vodkapundit readers! Make yourselves at home, and please, Vote Ardala!
Results (Posted 14 October 2004):
| SF Babes - Buck Rogers in the 25th Century |
 | Princess Ardala
67 Votes
47% |
 | Wilma Deering
75 Votes
53% |
But Texas has 34 electoral votes to Virginia's measley little 13, so Ardala wins. Ha! Take that, Llamas!

Ardala. No question. C'mon, a jeweled bikini and horns? You can't beat that.
Plus, her villainy revolved around the fact that she wanted to fuck buck. If ONLY real-life villainy worked that way...

Ardala. As Jeff said... Horny... Villainy... That is just plain ole sexy...

Your pollster is a biased pollster. Thanks both of you for stating so succinctly why Ardala wins, hands down (not sure I would/could have stated it that way in late elementary school when I had a crush on Ardala). Please note that our favorite villainess is currently trailing the ice-queen-girl-scout, so get out the vote for Ardala!

Man, Princess Ardala all the way. I've avoided voting in your other polls since I have little current interest. However. I still remember watching the "ballroom dance" scene in the first episode.
If I can't have Buck, give him to the Princess.

Oh, you guys are SO MISSING IT!!! The whole point of Wilma is to turn that goody-two-shoes into your dirty little play thing. Getting the tramp is easy.....getting the good girl to go bad, now THAT'S FUN!

Sorry, sounds more like work than fun. And her name's Wilma, dude. Everytime you say her name you'd be tempted to let a Fred Flintstone "Willllmaaaaaa!" rip.

Remember that episode where Erin Grey's character had to go undercover as some sort of prostitute, and at some point somebody ripped her dress to confirm that she had the special tatoo proving that she was one of the official prostitutes?
That was hot. I bet if you saw it, you'd think twice about voting for Ardalla.

This one is really close. I mean like Maryanne & Ginger close. But I've always been a Maryanne guy, so I have to go with Wilma here.

I'm sorry, I must abstain. I remember the episode that a rather young Jamie Lee Curtis played a character named (according to your linked site) Jen Burton. As I recall, she wore this red body suit that looked like it was spray painted on. I don't remember much about that episode except for her, but I'll take Jen Burton over both Wilma and Ardalla.

I think the very idea of a contest demeans both women. The right thing would be to have them both. Play them against each other.

Steve, if you can find a link to a picture of her, send it to me (or put it in a comment here) and I will consider giving her an honorable mention in the "results" posting, as I did with Flight Corporal Rigel in
last week's Battlestar babes poll.

Ardala was quite icky. And manipulative. And dumb.
But mostly she was icky. Made my skin crawl.

Colonel Wilma Deering, in a New Chicago minute. Evil princess isn't my style, but Lycra-clad ice-on-the-outside fighter pilot is. Besides, Wilma doesn't have a creepy bodyguard wandering about that you'd have to fight in the morning.

While Erin is a cutie, Hensley is a hottie!
Va-voom! Haou-yaaa.
Princess Ardala, hands down. And I ain't sayin' what the hands are down on...

SF Babes Poll Number 3
This week, the lovely ladies of
Battlestar Galactica.
Last week, we had a close finish, with no single lady receiving more than 50%. Your vote counts!
Update: Although Yeoman Rand won last week's poll, I think an Honorary SF Babe of the Week Award, Special X-Prize Edition should go to Anousheh Ansari, entrepreneur, benefactor of the X-Prize foundation, and, I should add, a real babe:

I used to work a company where Anousheh Ansari was one of the execs.
She's hotter in person.

I'm saving Laurel for the Star Trek "Cage Match" among her, Majel, and Susan Oliver (Vina).
Permalink the poll and check back weekly. I save ideas like that to re-energize this thing whenever I start getting tired of it.

SF Babes Poll Number 1
New Feature! SF Babe of the week! Vote early! Vote often!
Since this site is the undisputed worldwide source of SF Babe information (just Google "SF Babes" if you don't believe me), I've decided to incorporate a weekly poll of SF Babes in which you, dear reader, may democratically influence the outcome of each critically important faceoff among science fiction's cutest ladies.
(I'll keep this up until I'm bored with the concept, but I will keep track of each week's winner and compile them in a running master list).
For this week, I offer you a selection among the lovely ladies of Lost in Space - both the classic TV Series and the "Major Motion Picture."
Pretend you're a Chicago voter. Vote as many times as you want. Have fun!
(If you have suggestions for future candidates, please feel free to email or comment. Thanks!)

Hey! We're in agreement on matters of taste here. Remember, Daley-era Chicago rules apply. Come back and vote for the other whenever you want to. (The pollhosting code requires a day between votes, and this poll will be up until the 24th).

LDH,
I agree the movie Maureen beats the TV Maureen. I guess it was an oversight not to include the Maureens. Oh well, maybe I'll do an "SF Moms" poll later.

BD, that's what I remembered about Penny, too, but if you look back at the publicity photos, they "grew up" her image by the end of the series' run.
