Why Star Trek is Hot #4: Uhura!

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on May.11.2009

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. Great times, great food, great friends and family. Only thing missing was my chance to see the new Star Trek movie. But speaking of mothers and greatness and Star Trek; the mother of all sexy Star Trek characters with great legs gets the tribute for Day 4 of my 8 Days of Star Trek series. Of course I am talking about the gorgeous Nyota ** Uhura **!

Okay, so do I really need to even list the reasons why Uhura is hot? I’ll do it anyway since it’s so easy:

  1. Single-handedly prevented The Original Star Trek from being a complete optical nuisance, just by being on screen
  2. That gorgeous left leg
  3. That fabulous right leg
  4. Maintained the coolest hairstyles even in space (I can barely keep a fancy hairdo with just high humidity, let alone in zero gravity)
  5. Proves that a woman can be smart, serious AND sexy
  6. Can make even an inappropriately short skirt/dress look professional at work
  7. Wasn’t afraid to try a little Something New **winks**
  8. Has a sexy name and speaks Swahili
  9. Was always surrounded by men dripping with testosterone, yet maintained her classiness
  10. “See! There are black chicks in space!”

Nyota Uhura is now being played by Zoe Saldana in the new Star Trek movie. She also is very beautiful, but I’ll have to see her in action myself and determine whether or not she out-rocks Nichelle Nichols or is even on par.

Either way, if you can’t see how hot Uhura is – the new or the old – I’m going to don you in a miscellaneous red shirt and  send you on the next Away mission … dun dun dun dunnnn!

We’re only halfway through 8 Days of Star Trek, so be sure to come back for more!
