Space is not the final frontier, it’s the new sexy…

***THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED AT BITTEN BY ROMANCE FOR THEIR TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE FEATURE in 2015, but I thought those who didn’t read it might enjoy it.

I will admit, I love science fiction. The idea of life out there, strange new worlds, cultures, everything, totally gets me excited. The whole ‘what if’ premise is one of the reasons I love writing sci-fi romance. My passion for all things sci-fi started at a young age as I avidly watched Star Trek. Then along came Star Wars, and the various Star Trek rebirths. Battlestar Galactica, Guardians of the Galaxy, Stargate, and more… If it’s got an alien, or futuristic theme (especially with cyborgs or gene manipulation) then chances are I’ll watch it.

Over the years, some characters have left lasting impressions and helped formed my idea of the ultimate sci-fi hero. Here’s 9 of my favorites. Who’s your tenth?

My hottest heroes from Sci-Fi movies and shows.

1. The original Han Solo, Harrison Ford

2. Riddick played by hottie Vin Diesel

3. Jean Luc Picard with commanding actor Patrick Stewart

4. Star Lord of Guardians of the Galaxy played by the adorable Chris Pratt

5. Star Trek rebooted with Chris Pine as the young Captain Kirk

6. The cyborg in Almost human, Michael Ealy

7. Number 6/Caprica from Battlestar Galactica, Tricia Helfer (She was awesome!)

8. Villain Benedict Cumberbath as Kahn in Star trek into Darkness.

9. Jason Momoa as Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis

10. Name your favorite hero/heroine.
