why I may have to marry Zoe Saldana

It’s not just that she’s hot…

from TrekMovie.com
TrekMovie: What are some of your favorite movies?

Saldana: Blade Runner. I grew up in a sci-fi environment and am a huge sci-fi fanatic so Ripley [Alien] and Sarah Connor [Terminator] are some of my favorite characters of all time. I am driven toward women who are very strong and commanding and kick alien ass and all that stuff, and also kiss aliens. I would say Blade Runner, and The Hunger, which is one of Tony Scott’s first films. I saw it when I was very young, I think I saw it when I was nine or ten, I fell completely in love with the movie. It felt completely dark and hopeless because these people were eternally condemned and unable to love. And Blade Runner, I knew watching Blade Runner, and Dune, that I wasn’t old enough to understand the concept. But the fact that I was to grow older and be able to one day look at it and go ‘I get this now’ was so exciting to me at the age of five.

sniff excuse me, I have something in my eye…

Oh David0207, thank you for that wonderful clip. I’ve seen The Terminal a couple of times and just loved that scene, but I hadn’t recognized Zoe Saldana. Another great story to add to the Trek-lore.

She was on Jimmy Kimmell the other night and said that she never watched sci-fi before and that Spilberg had to tell her what Trek, vulcans, and the hand salute were. She said the closest thing that she knew to trek was… that her mom watched Star trek in Spanish.

I wish I hadn’t watched the episode… I liked the idea of a hot geek. Alas it is a marketing myth!
