We like the fanciful stories, we like the technology, we like the ever expanding universe (dare I say Multiverse?) of characters and races. But for many of us, and there’s no point in denying it, one of the highlights of Star Trek – all five series, ten films, one cartoon and many bulging crates of comics and novels, is, as Spock shouted on the transporter deck in The Cage: The WOMEN!!!
With that, we salute Hot Star Trek Women (the “fairer Treks,” one might say.) Some picks are obvious and some might just be a hazy memory of flipping channels on late night tv. Perhaps a few of you may think I’ve come down with Tarkalian Flu or something, as some on this list ranked may be ranked higher than you expected. Or perhaps not ranked at all! (Lt. Yar, you may have been a fantastic Chief of Security, but you never did anything for me.) Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, I say! And let the countdown commence!
Star Trek’s most ambitious mission yet: Find Hot Girls! Having no luck with the ladies from the future, two cadets transport back in time to impress girls from the past with their advanced technology. Unfortunately, there’s already an app for that. And everyone knows the Klingon always gets the girl!Create the “Transporter Effect”: http://www.IndyMogul.com/teleportWritten, Directed, Performed by: http://www.SometimesFunny.com
In the arid landscape of late-1960s television, largely devoted to quasi-realistic forms like the family sitcom or the police procedural, “Star Trek” was new and startling in several different ways: a science-fiction series that was literary and imaginative and heavily allegorical, that ladled out historical and political messages by the quart and that delivered a distinctive undertone of adult sexuality.
OK, yes, it might be better described as a swaggering, Hefneresque and profoundly sexist version of semi-adult, semi-repressed sexuality. Preening Kirk, arguably the most sexualized male character in TV history, tomcats from one interstellar honey to the next. In Season 1, beehive-haired Yeoman Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) seems to serve as his personal concubine, but for that matter there’s something haremlike about the female personnel aboard the Enterprise in toto. They all apparently departed on a five-year space mission directly from their other jobs as go-go dancers behind Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett, later Roddenberry’s wife) moons pathetically for the chaste and logical Spock, who is himself locked in a sub-rosa competition with the bitchy and sexually ambiguous “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley) for Kirk’s attention. Spock pretends not to notice Chapel, but behaves like an outrageous tease; in “Amok Time,” he strokes her tear-stained cheek and murmurs, “It would be illogical for us to protest against our natures.”
But hey, this stew of delightful and appalling ingredients produced the first black-white kiss in the history of American narrative television, the aliens-made-them-do-it snog between Kirk and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) in the 1968 episode “Plato’s Stepchildren.” (Contrary to legend, that smokin’-hot moment did not produce widespread outrage in the American South. Widespread arousal, certainly.) In the same scene, Chapel finally gets to kiss Spock, while protesting the whole time that she really, really didn’t want it to happen like this.
What exactly is Khan Noonien Singh doing in Hustler’s new Star Trekporn movie? And what role does Sasha Grey play? We talked to screenwriter Roger Krypton. Plus an exclusive work-safe clip and pics.
The Enterprise finds a ship that’s been floating in space for 200 years, and on board is Khan, in suspended animation. But with him are two sexy alien women — for obvious reasons. And judging from the photo up top, Lieutenant Marla McGivers plays a big role in the story as well, as the woman whom Khan tries to seduce. Khan, coming from an earlier time, is more barbaric, more macho and more “bare-chested” than the civilized Kirk, and he decides to try and take over the Enterprise.
The eagerly anticipated Star Trek film is set to cast off the geeky associations of the sci-fi genre with a handsome cast, vicious fights and sex scenes.
The trailer for the new movie was released online on Monday, no doubt fuelling the excitement of Trekkies around the world ahead of the film’s release next year.
The fast-paced, busy trailer include snippets of the childhoods of Captain James T Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto), lending an insight to the men they grow up to become.
