Major Women of ST

[JLA]

Good for her, good for her crew.

Number One was the first "major woman"* of Star Trek. Where's Number One?**

* - whatever that means

** - /Number Six.

Where's Uhura?! Jadzia? Hoshi? The others already asked about?

 

[JLA]

crew of SNW

Number One, La'an, Chapel, Ortegas...

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Chapel is ... *ahem* ... a stellar example.

 

[JLA]

Una Chin-Riley is probably my favourite followed by Erica Ortegas

 

[JLA]

I chose Kira from the list above. I'm uncertain I'd change that if there were others.

what are the criteria? is this a 200 meter race? death match? best in show? yelp review?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Burnham Sermon

Love it

 

[Whizkid]

also.. its 2025 and we're having the best woman competition on here. Are they getting measured for poise, technobabble, phaser accuracy and public speaking? I judged the Miss Crystalline Entity 2424 pageant, and it's getting hard to find sponsors for these things.

No. For complexity. It is no longer the 60s. Major Nerys would kick your major ass.

preparing a 2 hour Burnham Sermon incorporating all her dreams, fears, tears, what she believes, what she believes she believes, her sincere convictions (not actually being convicted) and the friends me made along the way.

Uhura. But out of the provided list I choose Seven. She's cool, I find her backstory interesting, I like her character development and the first VOY episode I saw was her introduction (which I know was a weird place to start seeing VOY but it was just what was on the Sci-Fi channel at the time). This list is seriously lacking a lot of characters, though. Where's Uhura? Where's Janeway? Where's Burnham?

I can't even tolerate her. The most untrekkie of all.

That’s fine, but there’s no question she is a “Major Woman” in Star Trek.

I suppose so. Yaackk!

Uhura does not compete.

I hate Jadzia and Hoshi. But Nerys I love.
Star Trek does not do women properly. But, yet, still, Major Kira Nerys is just absolutely incredible. Plus Nana Visitor's acting.

What's your definition of "doing a woman properly?"

...yeah, yeah, phrasing...

 

[Nerys Myk]

No. For complexity. It is no longer the 60s. Major Nerys would kick your major ass.

That's Major Kira to you.

 

[BillJ]

Plus Nana Visitor's acting.

Never could stand Nana Visitor's acting, she has this whine about her that is just off putting. I'd probably rank DS9 higher as a series with a different actress in the role.

This list needs to be fixed. You are skipping a lot of major women in Star Trek. You don't just leave them off because you dislike the character.
