That's what happens when I go into a revision cave during blogging A-to-Z month. :-) I love Zoe Saldana (I think that's her name)--the actress that played Uhura (never caught that name before).

Looking back at Classic Star Trek now, it might seem that it's not big deal to have a woman communications officer. But back then, a woman--and a black woman--in such a role was HUGE. And even Uhura's name is significant. It means 'freedom' in Swahili.Donna K.

She was a charismatic villain and knew how to use your dreams and hopes against you.
