#7. Jane Seymour
Serina – Battlestar Galactica
Back when Battlestar Galactica was cool in the ’70s (yes, I said it) and only had tin can robots, they could cast a fox like Jane Seymour and only keep her around for a few episodes, while keeping around the “socialator” for a while. Anyway, Serina gives an eye-witness report to the attack of the sneaky Cylons and manages to save her son even though the daggit went up-state to live on a big farm.
Serina doesn’t survive long on the show–she has the distinction of being one of the very few people to actually die from the amazingly inaccurate Cylon fire–but she does leave behind the show’s worst part: her son Boxey (and his little robot daggit “Muffit II”). After the episode where Muffit gets trained to smell out ice cream in order to rescue Boxey from a fire, I think Serina had the right idea. Good job, mom.
