Zoë Saldana May Be The New Uhura

[Barbados Slim]

Good choice! I've had the hots for her ever since Center Stage.

She was also Nick Cannon's love interest in Drumline.

I like it. Someone on trekmovie photo-whatevered her into the TOS Uhura uniform as a headshot and I was hooked.

Yeah, good chioce, but to be fair we all know the only casting that really matters is Kirk, Spock and McCoy, and they seem to have the first of those three correct so far.

I can feel a TV series with this cast if the film is a hit.

:thumbsup:

I've never heard of her, but the clips convey an approachability similar to Nichelle's. Though I tend to agree with Temis that she could stand a few more calories per day, she's still smokin' hot, as Uhura should be!

Peace

I say "No" - her skin is much too light to be a younger version of Uhura.

 

[Emher]

Great choice definetly. I've liked her a lot in what I've seen her in so far and she's definetly hot

uhura balance of terror

I'm certain they're not making the choice [and would be dumb to have done so] on the actress's skin tone.

Yea, let's not get into "paper bag" racism here. The wrong shade of brown? sheesh. Not accusing anyone, but some of us are aware of this brand of discrimination, subtle though it is.

And she's great, look at those big brown eyes. My only question... and no one has brought this up yet... is can she sing?

And here's where the thread derails.

I suggest you watch Spike Lee's "School Daze." They've been playing it on TV One. That's a black themed cable channel.

Lighting, makeup, and film shows great variation in anyone's skin color.

Not to mention tanning. Blacks tan and get sunburn too. Geesh. Somebody needs a muffin.

Oh for Christ's sake, I've offended the Borg.

Please, allow me put this thread back on it's one-track rail....


SHE'S HOT. KIRK WOULD TOTALLY F*ING DO HER, MAN.


(Now you can feel free to go after the people who commented on her weight.)

 

[Plum]

... hoooKAY then.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

SHE needs a muffin! Too skinny.

Slap makeup on her and fatten her up. She'll be Uhura yet!

 

[Plum]

snap!

 

[Temis the Vorta]

crackle!

 

[Kagan]

pop?

 

[BigFoot]

Works for me.

Nah...her skin is too tight to be a younger version of Uhura.

Now, as for the volume and shine of her hair...

Then again, all brown eyes look alike to me.

^You are in need of a more discerning eye, it would seem.
