By Definition, Hot Sci-fi Chicks Must be Brainy

Is this true? The thought occurred to me while I was writing the last post. Its not a written rule, of course, but have you ever noticed that, regarding sci-fi women, there seems to be a direct correlation between hotness and braininess? With the women pictured above, to illustrate(Samantha Carter - Stargate, T'Pol - Enterprise, and Seven of Nine - Star Trek Voyager), it would seem there's something to this. In fact, one might even be tempted to say that the bustier they are, the smarter and more scientific -minded they must be.

Perhaps this represents, on a subconscious level, the geek ideal: rational, logical, and searingly intelligent women who just happen to have substantial ta-tas. There's definitely something to this.

Seven of Nine, then, would surely represent the epitome of geek-idealized feminine beauty as she is, without question, the most scientific-minded and the one with the biggest boobs.

The next question, of course, would be "to the mind of a geek, do big boobs signify intelligence, or are they simply a bonus?"
