Actually it was Leela of the Sevateem, meaning "Survey Team."

She's one of the best companions ever because none of the others dressed in animal skins and protected the Doctor with a big butcher knife. No wimpy screaming and crying and a twisted ankle while running away. Gotta love those strong female characters!

Babylon 5 and Star Wars and Firefly were good, and Farscape was okay but weird. But Star Trek will always be my favorite because the original series combined good science fiction with good writing and was a real eye-opener for its time.

And whoever put "Geek Alert" in the title of this thread is obviously clueless!

Of course you should know since I remembered
her name and title I remembered her story also.

I agree with you completely!

And while I have a chance to say it, I wish "I Robot"
had followed the book instead of the whole
idea being butchered. I will never see that movie.
