This week Star Trek Into Darkness was released. That got us thinking about Uhura and which actress plays a hotter Uhura.

In the original series, Nichelle Nichols caused quite a stir by being the first African American girl to kiss a white guy on prime time televsion (She kissed Captain Kirk). Now in the new movies, Zoe Saldana as Uhura has a relationship with Spock and nobody seems to care that she is kissing a Vulcan.

Given their on-screen relationships (if you can call the Kirk kiss a relationship), we would have to say that the 60s Uhura definitely had better taste in men, but which one of these ladies is hotter?
