dragonyphoenixIn the second movie of the Star Trek reboot, both Spock and Kirk fear the wrath of Uhura. Really? Because compared to almost any woman in the Babylon 5 universe - Ivonova, Delenn, Lyta Alexander, Number 1, Dodger - Uhura seems ineffectual. The original Star Trek broke boundaries. Much as I enjoy the reboot, it portrays and supports some damned outdated stereotypes.

And that other woman (see, I can't even remember her name) was mostly there so she could drop her clothes and look offended when Kirk looked. *sighs*
Firefly did great with the female characters as well.
