Zoe Saldana (New Uhura) Plays Trekkie in "The Terminal"

[plotchickens]

Ugh, she really is not very attractive. I wish they'd hired someone better looking for Uhura. Someone a little less .... hmmm .... less Black?

[lobbotekka2019]

@plotchickens

Less black for Uhura? Am I missing something?

[plotchickens]

Yes, someone hotter. Like Elisha Cuthbert, perhaps.

don't tell me I'm an asshole for wanting to change her race - people changed Sulu's race and no one complained. Next thing you'll be telling me that all asians are the same and that it doesn't matter if Sulu is Japanese or not - well there's a big difference!

[lobbotekka2019]

@plotchickens

Or Sanaa Lathan? It doesn't have to be less black... just hotter :-P

[plotchickens]

yeah plenty of hotter chicks!

[chillchi]

@plotchickens i see, you want to turn uhura into a white woman, find. but why stop there lets make captain kick ice cube. Spock could be tony jaa and Scotty could be Jeff goldblaum. as for the rest of the cast well hire Mexican day laborers.

[plotchickens]

that wouldn't work, don't be ridiculous. mexicans are too lazy to work in space.

[chillchi]

@plotchickens oh i don't know if i would call them lazy, hell i could hire 12 of them for 6 dollars to cut my lawn shingle my roof and paint my house all in one day.

[plotchickens]

lol their hookers are pretty eager to please too

[chillchi]

@plotchickens yea, but there woman are fat and have mustaches. so i will pass, thank you.

[MrVestek]

@plotchickens They didn't mention that he was korean in the plot. His character is still Japanese. I'm from Dublin... that's just like me playing someone from continental Europe or the UK - not much of a difference in terms of facial features.

[Chacha5678]

@plotchickens the original Uhura was black you racist idiot

[plotchickens]

the original Sulu wasn't korean he was japanese, but of course you'll probably just say 'what's the difference' like a true racist who thinks all asians are identical.

if you can change one race, why not change another? there's no reason Uhura can't be white.

[Chacha5678]

@plotchickens It's not Uhura's fault that they cast a Korean for Sulu. Besides, the original actor for Sulu gave John Cho his approval, saying that Sulu was to represent all Asians. And last time I checked, the terms "Korean" and "Japanese" represent nationalities, not races. I don't see you getting upset that Zoe's a Latina, when she's representing Africa. Not even Nichelle Nichols was from Africa. They're called actors for a reason. Get your facts straight.

[plotchickens]

uhura actually is from Africa!

[Chacha5678]

@plotchickens I implied that in what I just said.. good rebuttal there

[isaac15446]

I think am in love with Zoe, has anyone got her phone number?

[CatYellowRanger]

Foreshadowing win

[TonyN737]

Mmmmmm ... Zoe as a cop ... so sexy ...

[vidaligodude]

What makes her character more awesome is the fact that there is a character in Star Trek: Voyager called B'ellana Torres

[flueyfluey2]

She is gorgeous!! But I bawled my eyes out when I heard she is engaged to that dweeb - Zoe come to Flueyfluey2 - I'll be a better hubby than Keith could be to you!!! We'll make such beautiful black babies!!!

[teta809]

Her smile is breathtaking

[ccpj1]

zoe is hot

[darrellkaiser11285]

HEY!! STICK THAT GODDAMN THUMB OUT WHEN YOU GIVE ME THAT SALUTE!!!! Mmm, Sbarro's pizza sounds mighty good right now!

[lalatheviper]

Thumb shold be pointed outward Zoe!!

Lol

[IDontKnoWhaThatMeans]

OMG that is AWESOME!

[chelsit2]

OMGGGG DIEGO LUNA IS IN THISSS! ahhh

[o0ofelixo0o]

whahahaha!!! i really love this movie!!! Viktor is so Gifted!!! ^_^

[olip5]

and she have a small acting in carieban pirates or somthing like that i dont know the name in inglish

[IsisLaZingara]

@olip5 Did you mean Pirates of the Caribbean??

[Jammed9000]

hey youngfuck, tell me why avatar was crap.

[Eruaphadriel]

OMG lol the irony

[wendys120]

When I saw Star Trek, it took me almost the whole movie long to remember I had seen her in this movie. Funny about the trekkie stuff...

[veljon]

she became a queen of sci-fi: avatar, star trek

[simplycomplicated333]

@veljon Wow, she was meant to play in star trek I guess, queen of sci fi she is.

[navylaks2]

Zoe Saldana is the new big hollywood actress

[teta809]

Wow Zoe could act so good and natural even in da simpliest of roles… Go ZOE!!!!

[mad8london247]

Totally forgot about this film.

She looks good in uniform.

[SamaCWNS]

OK, why does she have her thumb in close to her hand? Isn't it supposed to be out? But since it's to show she has an engagement ring I'll give her a break for using her left hand.

[Dekuscrubby]

IIRC Tuvok used his left hand quite a lot

[Raymint]

I love this film by the way

[Raymint]

... Do nobody know this?

[CordeliaDoyle]

This so funny and ironic. Not only does she (the trekkie) play Uhura but she has a relationship with Spock and she's doing the Vulcan salute in this movie. This is so awesome.

[Renitamac]

haha how cute.

[Remington61189]

My oh my talk about Foreshadow!

[Here4friend]

HOW DID SHE KNOW?!?!!? :P

[javahippo]

IT'S DESTINY!

Haa Haa just kidding.

[Grykus7]

It always was with every actor in Trek.

You know Nimoy's book "I Am Spock"? Well in Heroes, Quinto (new Spock) played Sylar, and Heroes had an episode called "I Am Sylar".

The actors don't choose Star Trek, Star Trek chooses it's actors.

[OldskolFan]

Oh boy, how ironic is that! Could that be some form of law of attraction. Maybe the forces of the universe made this happen for her?

[bloodybonecrusher]

ohhh i loved this movie

[fanpiress247]

AWW.

SHE SHOULDA DOONE THAT iN FRONT OF SPOCK.

HOW CUTE WOULD THAT BE.

[FarrenfollowsBen]

very cute!!!!!!!

[fashionistagurl95]

HAHA.. thats..thats really hilarious..!

aww wuldnt that b cute tho if she (as uhura) did that hand thingy in front of spock! lol!

[Icha74]

My my... speaking of coincidence... in 2009 she (Uhura) dates the Vulcan Spock! Fate can be so funny sometimes!

[H4I2I2EE]

...unless that is why someone got the idea to consider her for the role...who knows?

[tdb41]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! What a huge coincidence! I totally forgot about this scene!

[fearreavers]

So did I. I loved her in this movie. And she is amazing as Uhura.

[SecretlyYours91]

what does she dress as?

[rawfulralph]

Yeoman Janice Rand

[elphiechan808]

She was awsome as Uhura. I'm glad she got the role as Uhura.

[nswms992000]

Same here, man! In fact, Zoe Saldana was the reason why I saw Star Trek for the second time in a row!!

[vulcanluver]

Oh, the irony.

Her thumb should have been extended though, in that last scene. (Or not, depending on copyright issues.)

[trekkiegirl93]

Hah, I was thinking the same thing as soon as she put her hand up.

XD

[H4I2I2EE]

You gotta be fucken kidding me. What an uncanny coincidence.

[ProserpinaFC]

lol, you should see all the double playing by the serial DC actors.

Can you imagine Lex Luther and the Flash being played by the same guy?

[Pwnagemerchant]

"New Uhura", you mean NEWHURA

[LeSPOCK]

Very nice thank you !

[crazednerd666]

It's funny how she plays a Star Trek fan in this movie and then later actually gets to play Uhura in the new Star Trek movie.

[ElectronicaFan83]

My thoughts exactly! I watch the scene where she does the Vulcan salute and it brings a smile to my face. She's got a lovely smile at the end of that clip.

[unusedname197]

put zoe saldana in a room with me and shes going home pregnant

[turtlesforus]

I love this clip!

[JakeBlutarski]

she's purdy.... but she did the salute wrong! Oh well. She is quite lovely.

[Mongler37]

The thing with a female Trekkie made the whole damn movie unbelievable for me. No Woman love science fiction unless it involves gay cartoon boys in giant robots, and even then it's mostly 14 Year Old girls with acne, braces, and fuckin' oars.

[AlphaBetaParkingLot]

well that's just incorrect.

[stygiansyntax]

Only the feeble minded think in stereotypes like that.

Plenty of women like Star Trek and science fiction in general. I'm a Trekkie, I'm female, and get this - I'm not ugly, either!

My mother(whom used to be a model) is a Trekkie too, by the way.

Besides, there are plenty of attractive AND unattractive people of both genders in ANY fandom. In nearly any group you can think of, really.

[Mongler37]

But mostly unattractive. The attractive ones dress like Sailor Moon and act like they've been gang-raped every time an ugly male virgin so much as says hi to 'em.

[stygiansyntax]

Sounds like you have personal experience being an ugly male virgin trying to say "hi" to girls dressed as Sailor Moon. Their rejection has embittered you or something, right?

[Mongler37]

Ugly, yes. Male, yes. Virgin, unless you count my friend's retarded sister...

[Eikinkloster]

LOL

[Eikinkloster]

"Their rejection has embittered you or something, right?"

How would it not? Still, the bitterness doesn't cloud the fact that 99% of the trekkies are not just ugly, but fugly.

[willabeth4ever]

Well said! I like Star Trek, but I wouldn't say I'm a Trekkie. However my cousin is a Trekkie and she's completely normal.

Can we try not to stereotype? That would be awesome.

[gninnigebymsidneym]

Or unless it involves Spock and Jean-Luc Picard....

[RADICALIfNecessary]

Aint she married to Lawrence Fishburne???

[EyeOnTheTV]

No. You're thinking of Zoe Washburne.

[larafaga100]

dominicans dominicans up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wmier2]

Zoe Saldana is another good reason to be seeing the new installment of star trek!!

[H3dgie]

Yeah, she is going to rock as Uhura.

[tonypiece]

Zoe Saldana is 2 film 2009

Really cute and clever

[Jaegermasta]
