As long as we’re looking in a mirror darkly around here, we might as well pay homage to the original alternate universe bad babe, Nichelle Nichols. Thankfully, they didn’t give her a goatee. On a serious note, Nichelle really did a service in how she handled her Star Trek fame. We tend to forget that she set a lot of firsts…among them, she was involved in the first interracial kiss seen on network American television. See more Nichelle Nichols after the…um…teleport (‘jump’ just doesn’t sound right for Lt. Uhura).
