Mom's in Sci-Fi

(1/4) > >>

Jen:
Angela and I are going to be recording two episodes tomorrow night. One of them is a special for Mother's Day. We're trying to come up with a list of sci-fi and/or fantasy movies or TV to watch with in honor of the day. We're looking for shows or flicks that prominently feature strong women as mothers. Our Star Trek list is very long. We're not mentioning (Star Wars) or Amadala as she really didn't get to do much other than have Luke and Leia and we dislike Phantom Menace. LOL, so don't suggest her. :D

Terminator 2 (Sarah Connor)

Aliens (Ripley)

TNG: (Helena Rozhenko: Family, anything with Lwaxana Troi, Deanna: The Child, anything with Beverley)

TOS: (Amanda Grayson: Journey to Bable + STIV)

BSG (Sharon (Athena) Agathon)

Harry Potter (Molly Weasley Super Mom)

Can you all think of anyone I'm forgetting?

ChrisMC:
Well, there's Jessica Atreides from Dune, a very strong mother character. Padme from Star Wars, ummm...the Borg and Alien queens?? ;)

Rico:
Here are a couple more fantasy type suggestions.  I always thought Buffy's mom Joyce Summers was pretty well written and a strong character on that show.  And how about Lady Stark from "Game of Thrones?"

June Lockhart Mother in Lost in space
