(Ok...a lot of webfinds of Astronema's actress Melody Perkins but there are a couple of caps involving the Power Ranger In Space episodes. I took a very rare scene involving her in sandals in her human form from the episode "Date with Danger" as well as a few facial shots from the episode "Dark Spector's Revenge".)
I have to say Astronema is one of the hotter Ranger villainesses. The nice thing about posting this bad girl is that after Astronema reforms, she has a brief stint as the pink Ranger in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy...so you guys are getting Ranger girl's feet as well. If that was enough for you...an interesting sidenote is that Melody Perkins (who does an awesome job playing this femme fatale btw ^_^) also plays an evil witch in the series "Charmed" making this bonus two villainess for the price of one. O_O
Not counting the original series (which I'm guessing is everybody's favorite), Power Rangers in space is arguably one of the better seasons of the series involving a memorable cast of villains including Astronema, Darconda, Ecliptor and Dark Spectre. These characters really made the show adding their own distinct personalities into the mix and bringing the series to its ultimate climax plotwise. ^_^
As a villainess, Astronema was really dominant and spoiled. I think she is the type that would enjoy dominating her minions or captives with her feet. ;-) She was so badass as a villainess in fact that even after she reformed, Dark Spectre (the ultimate villain in the show) made special arrangements in to have her brainwashed to the side of evil again. When I was watching the series the first time around, seeing Astronema return to the side of evil really was one of the more dramatic moments in the show because her reformation had been so believable.
Eventually it all worked out in the end but not without a dramatic set of fight scenes. If you guys have a chance...you really should check this season of Power Rangers out, (most of the episodes are available on Youtube), it really is an intense watch.
Ok have a good night everyone and more villainess action to come soon!!
