female navigator Helen
I just think it's funny that she has the role of navigator not only because it's typical that the female characters have the least important or least complex job, but also in the way the female characters are usually used to help guide the male characters to way they need to be in the story, typically in an emotional sense and here she is literally the guide for them.
Depictions of science are typically organised, often in complex ways,around such discursive and ideological binaries as scientist/woman,mind/body, subject/object, culture/nature and self/other.
This instantly brought "Kim Possible" to mind, and I'm sure there is a multitude of other examples. You have this ugly, mean, barely capable mad scientist and his side kick is an overly sexualized mother-type. Shego doesn't fall into the nurturing type with her personality but through the way she is constantly taking care of Drakken. Falling back into the typical roles of woman as the side character and man as the main even though the woman character is the one that does all the heavy lifting. And touching on the over sexualized part, just look at her.
