I liked Ivanova from the start and have come to like Lockley more and more with watching Crusade - although I still haven''t got around to re-watching s5 of b5 fully. Dr Hobbs is very good and it is very sad that she doesn't get more development in the show.
Trying to think of interesting female characters is others shows is hard! Stargate feels like there should be some, but really fails on it - loads of the characters *could* have been strong but the show shies away from it and turns them into caricatures or doesn't allow them to show their skills.
Non sci-fi shows seem to do a bit better - I've been rewatching JAG (as far as I've got s8 - although I now have dvds of s9 to watch soon :D ) and it has loads of good female characters.
