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

When I finally come visit, will you wear Uhura's "uniform" for me?
Just asking.
I can't wait for you to see the movie. We need to confrence in all our trekkie friends for a meeting cause we needs to talk. lol
oh… and I am soo needing an Uhura dress…..Zoe did a great job.
LOL @ Sherri….
*grins at Sherri* at your command … yes.
Kiki, you should soo get an Uhura dress. I love wearing mine.
Baby Kiki – I'm going with my coworkers to see it next week. I don't know if I can stand the wait!!
Yeah.. Uhura was a young boys lil fantasy i swear.
The new Uhura? she could use some carbs, but she is gorgeous
Apparently she was Shatner's too. That infamous interracial kiss was supposed to be between her and Spock. But Shatner went to Gene and had a tantrum because "if anyone was going to kiss Uhura, it's gonna be me, erm, Kirk." Yup, he actually said that.
Wait, really? Roddenberry intended for there to be a spark between Spock and Uhura, too?? So this new imagining of the Star Trek universe didn't just make that up, eh?
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing – good to know!!!!
