JohnL of TexasBestGrok has the new poll up. The TCP Voter Guide is below:

A. I recommend a vote for Tricia Helfer's Number Six. This recommendation is not made on the basis of having observed her in the new Galactica, but rather web-based observations.¹ In fact, I've never seen the new show. Not having the SFC will do that to you, although it appears that Katee Sackhoff might be cute. Nothing, however, will beat Maren Jensen in blue on the bridge.

B. Kristanna Loken fails for two reasons: 1) She's made out in public with the entertainer, Pink. That's disgusting. If women are going to do that sort of thing together, both of them need to be good looking. Loken skates perilously close to not making the cut, and Pink fails miserably. 2) Her acting, and thus the T-X, made less of an impression on me in T3 than Claire Danes did. Given that Loken wore tight leather, didn't say anything (for the most part) and was blond-haired/blue-eyed, that's saying something. Coming up second to Claire Danes in overall appeal isn't something that just happens. Indeed, it takes strenuous effort to be less appealing than Miss Danes. (Admittedly, I have a bit of a favorable lean towards Miss Danes, although I've certainly never really watched anything she's in other than T3.)

C. Seven of Nine not only represented audience pandering but booted my favorite character off of Voyager. Yes, I was more taken with Jennifer Lien's Kes than I was Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine. Blond hair, blue eyes, pointed ears, and a honey-laced drawl that could melt titanium win over sheer forward weight, catsuits, high heels, and a domineering personality every time.²

For the forgoing reasons, dear readers, I suggest that you vote for Six and don't go on to seven or ten. Thank you. I'll be here all week.

UPDATE: Hah! Téa Leoni wins the poll, with 24 of 69 votes cast. Liv Tyler finished second with 21 votes, Annabella Sciorra was third, and Natalie Wood was fourth. Not bad for someone who's been dead on the order of 25 years. Yay for Mrs. Duchovny, even if she is reportedly "grieving" over the re-election of George W. Bush. Well, I didn't vote for her brains, and I for darned sure didn't vote for her body, so it doesn't look like I'm out too much. A year or two at Camp Country Pundit could probably correct any errors in thought, and "we have the technology" to improve the latter issue as well. ¹ See here for family-friendly photos. She's also married to a lawyer. That's very, very positive.

² The voice quote is an amalgam of several that I found on Usenet archives, only one part of which I can find at this point in time. No matter what, Jennifer Lien's voice sure beat Jeri Ryan's, and that's worth counting.
