More Star Trek news to drive CB nuts.
Uhura has been cast...
As a 13 year-old boy watching Star Trek I can say unequivocally that the beautiful Nichelle Nichols was my first encounter with the truism that racism is really a supremely stupid concept to live one's life by. The idea that someone wouldn't want to do the space nasty with Uhura just because she happened to be black seemed about the stupidest thing I could ever concieve of.Of course I was later exposed to the writings and speeches of Dr. King and came across a whole bunch of other reasons why racism sucks but Uhura being an uber-hotty will always rank right up there near the top of my personal reasons.

She should have been captain for an episode (like they did several times in ST:TNG with Data, Riker, Dr. Crusher, etc.).
Yup. If that Sulu series thing had turned into something a few years ago she would've been a key player.
Still love the lady. Heard her sing live once and she's just phenomenal.
Once a hottie always a hottie...
Racists get laid less…
