Top 100 Fictional Femmes of Genre Film and Television, 2008 Edition
For all our discussion about the lack of strong women in genre film and TV, we certainly had a hard time narrowing it down to 100 this year’s list of the most powerful fictional femmes.
The Pink Raygun list of the most powerful fictional femmes is inducting several newcomers this year as well making several changes from last year’s rankings. Most notably, last year’s number one, Death, dropping off the list entirely. Her movie, which had been announced at the time of last year’s list, has been stuck in development hell and appears to be going nowhere. Battlestar Galactica’s Cally Tyrol has also dropped off the list due to an incurable (and inexplicably sudden) case of the crazies. BSG’s Starbuck is still on the list, but has dropped in rank considerably, as has Heroes’ Angela Petrelli.
When compiling the list, Pink Raygun’s writers considered several factors. Who has been the most influential, both in their universe and our own? Who has the greatest real-world resonance? Who has the greatest power, physical, mental, super, or otherwise?
And now, the staff of Pink Raygun give you the 2008 edition of the 100 Most Powerful Fictional Femmes of Genre Film and Television:

63. Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Stargate: Atlantis) Briefly the leader of Stargate Command, this expert diplomatic mediator is now in charge of the Atlantis expedition to the Pegasus galaxy.
62. Samantha Carter (Stargate SG1) - The woman, whose brain is a national treasure, just doesn’t stop. Carter has a Ph.D. in astrophysics, knows her way around a coding environment, biological threats and quantum physics, and is a decorated fighter pilot to boot.
61. Vala Mal Doran (Stargate: SG-1) - This arms-dealer was single-handedly responsible for preventing an invasion of the Milky Way galaxy by destroying a Supergate with a cargo ship.
