President Obama Flashes Gang-Signs In Oval Office
— Ace

Well, Vulcan is a gang. In a way. If you think about it.

Barack, I knew Mr. Spock.

I worked with Mr. Spock.

Mr. President, you are no Mr. Spock.

That's the timeless Nichelle Nichols, of course, and by timeless, I mean 80.

I guess I gotta say that she looks pretty good for 80.

Via Komplicated.

8 Uhura wasn't a Vulcan. Stupid son of a bitch doesn't even know his Star Trek. And as for her, obviously when Nomad wiped her brain it stayed that way, despite what we were led to believe.

18 Nichelle Nichols is an American actress, singer and voice artist. She sang with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton before turning to acting. Her most famous role is that of communications officer Lieutenant Uhura aboard the USS Enterprise in the popular Star Trek television series. You may now continue.

Galaxy Quest is awesome.

Is the Chompers part based on anything in particular? I've seen pretty much every Star Trek episode, and while that scene was funny, I could never figure out what they were referencing. Seemed more like a video game-based gag, but it could be from another show, or I could be slooooow.

It is usually mentioned that way, but there were others before it.

http://tinyurl.com/7pj948z

The episode features a kiss between James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). This is often cited as the first interracial kiss depicted on a scripted television series,[1][2] but took place after Sammy Davis, Jr. had briefly kissed Nancy Sinatra on the variety program Movin' With Nancy in December 1967;[4] and an interracial kiss on Emergency Ward 10, a British drama series, in 1964;[5] a kiss between Asian American actress, Victoria Young and David McCallum in the 1966 The Man from U.N.C.L.E episode, "The Her Master's Voice Affair;" and a kiss between multi-racial actress Barbara Luna and William Shatner in the 1967 Star Trek episode, Mirror, Mirror.

Nope. After GR passed away, everything went to hell, DS9, and especially Voyager, or whichever that one was with the lady captain. Berman and company just didn't know what to do with it.

JJ Abrams did the very nearly perfect job of rebooting the series with his version. Captured the interplay between the main characters quite well, IMO.

But it was referencing the general need of drama (especially episodic TV drama) to make things much more difficult than they should be, for dramatic purposes. Accessing a part of the engineering section should not be difficult. And yet so often there is some contrived difficulty to do something that consists essentially of hitting the "OFF" button.

213 About 21 years ago, while I was teaching H.S. choir, our school had a huge science symposium for 3 days. It was over a year in planning and one of the 'lighter' offerings was to be Nichelle Nichols speaking to a large group that was going to be held in our choir room. For the kids, this was interesting, but for those of us teachers who grew up with Star Trek, this was exciting. Now, as a female myself, I did not perhaps share in looking forward to Nichelle's hotness, but I had been a huge fan of the show. Well, unfortunately, Nichelle was not able to make it, but she sent items from the show and also sent her manager who has been with her for years to come and speak. He was actually quite good. And then about 2 weeks later, the school got a very nice letter from Nichelle, who apologized again and said that she and her manager wanted to donate the speaking fee he had received to the choral music department. This amount was not large, but the thought was quite wonderful. So whilst Nichelle is not keeping good company here, I still think quite highly of her. And, damn, she looks good!!

215 True Story: Nichelle Nichols, very early on in Star Trek's run, was thinking about quitting. Paramount sent cast members on publicity tours and she got Memphis, TN. There she had an unexpected and private meeting with a rather important fan. Dr. Martin Luther King. When she told him she was thinking of quitting, he talked her out of it, commenting on what a great thing it was to have a future where a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-national, multi-PLANETARY crew could zoom about space making the galaxy safe for decent people. BHO, however, is no MLK, starting with NOT A REPUBLICAN.

218 Well, folks, let me give you some advice as a independent voter who usually doesnt give much of a shit about politics: The attitude of the pro-republican blogs are becoming a republican problem. When I click in to a nice picture of the president and a 80 old year woman who also happens to be one of the foxiest actors of her generation, the first comment I read is "She still voted for that Obamanation, so screw her."

In other words, your subliminal message to anyone out there checking out this feelgood picture is "F&%k your grandma if she voted for Obama". Now, this may just be a bad cooincidence for this blog, but I read things like this all over the republican and mainstream blogosphere. The president isnt just wrong politicaly, he is a secret muslim from hell. The ones who voted him in are not your respected opposition, they are traitors and communists, anti-semites and sodomites who propably burn children at night in churchyards. Its becoming an imageproblem, youre profiling yourselves as the party of the neanderthals.

So, back to lurking.
