Comments on: sci-fi film classics and the Bechdel test http://globalspin.com/2009/06/sci-fi-classics-and-the-bechdel-test/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 By: Deana http://globalspin.com/2009/06/sci-fi-classics-and-the-bechdel-test/comment-page-1/#comment-111321 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:40:58 +0000 http://globalspin.com/?p=1566#comment-111321 True about BSG and by extension, Caprica. I’m not enough of a Serenity/Firefly person to be sure, but I was pretty sure that at some point River and the courtesan lady (sorry) conversed, but it might have been about Mal or something. They certainly have had conversations in the series.

What about the newer Star Wars trilogy? Doesn’t Padme converse with one of her ladies in waiting/decoys?

Have to think about things for a while now….

Kerrigan’s books pass the Bechdel test with flying colors, of course. I’d have to read through a screenplay before I could say for certain, though. :)
