It's exciting and scary all the things you can find out on the Internet. I spent all my time wondering who the rather butch black woman on the bridge was. For half the movie I thought it was Uhura. I don't know anything about Star Trek, can you tell?

No that's actually a named character. Aisha something.

They never name her in the film.

Seriously! Is she in any of the older Star Trek stuff, or is she a new addition? I'd much rather see more from her than from the rest of the (supermodel) crew. The only other exception to the "everyone must be fantastically good-looking" rule was Simon Pegg, who had a comedy part.

Haven't seen her in the older Star Trek, but for the most part the television series was decent about having people on a decent spectrum of attractiveness. I mean, it was a television show. The pretty people were waiting to be extras in the movie.
