Wayne and Dave discuss 10 genre actresses that have made a significant contribution in the fields of science fiction, horror, fantasy or the supernatural. Incredibly enough, they didn't argue over who deserves the title of First Lady of Scifi. How the heck did that happen?

Wayne, Dave, and special guest Sally take a look at the development of the "doctor to the fae," Lauren Lewis aka Karen Beattie. Doctor, scientist, hero, lover; few characters in the Lost Girl universe engender as much interest as the blonde half of the Doccubus relationship.
