Sexy Sulu - George Takei on Howard Stern

Mr. Sulu (George Takei) always steered a confident course on Starship Enterprise under his commanding officer, Captain Kirk - William Shatner.  These days, the now legendary Takei can be heard on Sirius XM radio as the official spokesman and voice over guy on The Howard Stern Show.  Set phasers on stunning fun - Oh My!



A life as interesting as the one Takei has led demands documenting.  To Be Takei is a documentary - 3 years in the making - on George Takei's life.  For anyone who loves Star Trek - or has followed this extraordinary actor's life - it's a must see event.

On his most recent appearance talking to Howard and the gang, Takei related how he was the last to sign on for the feature film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.  Why did he take so long?  It had to do with the director - none other than Bill Shatner himself.  George also revealed that Shatner loved to tease his co-star by calling him Georgie - a nickname that Takei loathes.  When talk turned to how he and his partner, Brad, enjoy their nude wrestling on Sunday afternoons, Howard definitely waded into Star Trek Sex territory.

Star Trek Sex Focus - Klingon Passion, Sex & Foreplay

Klingons and sex?  Too mature?  No combat?  The sons and daughters of Kahless are not just honorable warriors, they're also passionate lovers - well, after a fashion anyway.  Throughout Star Trek's long history, the bad boys and glorious gals of the galaxy are portrayed as the most violent and merciless - but also one of the most intriguing when it comes to sexual activity and procreation.  From Kang battling Captain Kirk to Worf on Picard's Enterprise and then Deep Space Nine, to the inner turmoil and personality conflict of B'Elanna Torres of Starship Voyager lost in the Delta Quadrant, the love life of Klingons has never been dull.


One of the most intensely emotional examples of Klingon lovemaking and courting was Worf and K'ehleyr.  Indeed, theirs was a doomed love affair, however a son - Alexander (Brian Bonsall) - came out of their tumultuous union.

In Star Trek: Generations, the El Aurian scientist, Soran (Malcolm McDowall) hits his Klingon partner in crime, B'Etor, in the face with a palm strike.  Without missing a beat, she shoots back to him, "I hope for your sake that you are initiating a mating ritual."  Clearly, those lusty Klingons are just as tough in the sack as on the battlefield.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Andrea The Android - Sherry Jackson

Androids are sexy.  Well, OK, they certainly can be.  Take Andrea from Star Trek - The Original Series.  Played by actress Sherry Jackson, Andrea is one android who helps to define the sexual allure of an artificially constructed human being.  Captain Picard's science officer, Data (Brent Spiner) may have been known for his burning intellectual thirst and hunger for human experiences and emotions, but before him, we met the erotically charged Andrea.


Created by the cybernetic scientst Roger Korby, Andrea could entice starship Captains like James T. Kirk as easily as flipping on a switch. However, the sexual energy - Lothario Kirk's legendary erotic mojo - could work both ways.  When Captain Kirk kissed Andrea, it enlisted stimulating 'emotions' within her.  When Andrea passed on her new sexual education to her startled creator, it did them both in.  Ah, the burning power of love!

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Dr. Miranda Jones - Diana Muldaur

The old fashioned notion of a doctor being stuffy, nerdy or fully non-sexual is shattered with this original series episode featuring the exotic Dr. Miranda Jones - played by Diana Muldaur.  Is There In Truth No Beauty? tells the tale of an enigmatic alien ambassador, Kollos - who exists in a pure energy state - being shepherded aboard Starship Enterprise by Dr. Jones.


Jones is a powerful telepath - so much so, she spent years on Vulcan to help control her telepathic powers so to avoid a dark trip into total insanity.  Why?  Simple:  The Medusan race is supremely intellectual, however, their hideous appearance drives human beings stark raving mad.  Jones is there to use her expertise, and to help see things don't get chaotic with the Medusan Kollos, while working on Captain Kirk's Enterprise.

There are many curious things about Miranda Jones, but one of the more amazing is that she's completely blind.  She utilizes a complex sensor web garment to navigate the world around her.  Diana Muldaur is well known to TV watchers in so many shows as guest star and regular cast member (L.A. Law), and two decades later she'd go one to create the character of Dr. Pulaski - replacing the departed Gates McFadden as Chief Medical Officer of Captain Picard's Enterprise.

Sexy Spotlight on Keiko O'Brien - Rosalind Chao - Star Trek: The Next Generation & Deep Space Nine

Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney), first seen as an engineer on Captain Picard's Enterprise 1701-D, made the move over to Captain Sisko's (Avery Brooks) outpost - the former Cardassian mining station of Deep Space Nine.  He wasn't alone for the transition.  He took along his school teacher wife, Keiko, played by Rosalind Chao.


Keiko may not have been an exotic alien from a wondrous world or another dimension, nor was she an expert in high tech magic or medicine, but as a teacher on the Enterprise, and then later on DS9, Keiko made a difference to the children and families of Starfleet.

Chao's career on TV is well known to fans, as she played Soon Lee Klinger in the final two episodes of the legendary TV series, M*A*S*H, and also had a recurring role in the Gary Coleman smash sitcom Different Strokes.  Though Chao plays Keiko O'Brien, a character who is a Japanese national, the actress herself is Chinese American.

Spotlight On Ishka - Ferengi - Andrea Martin & Cecily Adams

Ferengi aren't usually an alien race one looks to when sexual attraction is a prime topic of conversation.  Still, you have to admire a people who are so prosperous when it comes to conducting business and making that all important profit.  The small in stature race is also known for a natural comic bent which can lead to great laughter - albeit, at times, unintentionally so.  In Deep Space Nine, the most famous Ferengi is Quark, played by Armin Shimmerman.  His mother is Ishka, affectionately known by her sons Quark and Rom as Moogie, played by actress Andrea Martin.


Andrea Martin - the American comedienne best known from the Canadian comedy TV show Second City Television SCTV - gave Ishka more than a devilish sparkle and hint of mischievousness.  Martin did enjoy creating the popular role, but refused to come back to reprise the fan favorite character because of the heavy make-up process, which she hated.  Actress and casting director Cecily Adams (daughter of Don Adams from TV classic Get Smart) took up Ishka's persona for several more DS9's eps after Martin backed out.

Sexy Spotlight - Gary Seven's Isis - Victoria Vetri

A dog may traditionally be a man's best friend, but sometimes a cat can get a lot closer to a guy.  In the Star Trek episode, Assignment: Earth, a human (Robert Lansing) trained by aliens to be the super spy named Gary Seven, is definitely a cat kind of guy.  Indeed, he doesn't rely on a mutt like Lassie, Benji, Bolt nor AirBud to help him out.  He's constantly shadowed and assisted on his top secret missions by a mysterious black cat named Isis.

                           

Playboy Playmate of 1968, Victoria Vetri, played enigmatic Isis in alluring human form.  Assignment: Earth was conceived as a possible launch of a spin-off TV series.  It never happened, so we lost track of Isis - that is, until, a Star Trek novel, The Rise And Fall Of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2.  In the novel, Isis is killed by one of Khan's henchmen.

Sexy Spotlight - Roberta Lincoln - Teri Garr

Gene Roddenberry created one of the most popular and recognizable male characters in pop culture history - Captain James T. Kirk.  The Star Trek creator also invented other iconic male characters like Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Chief Engineer of the Enterprise, Scotty.  Roddenberry was also adept at coming up with the feminine side of the TV equation with characters like Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) or Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) - hostess of Ten Forward lounge on Captain Picard's Enterprise.  He also crafted a memorable female character we only saw once - Roberta Lincoln, played by beloved actress Teri Garr.


Garr is perhaps best known as the confused girlfriend of gender bender Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, or as Gene Wilder's love in Young Frankenstein - from director Mel Brooks.  In Star Trek, Garr played the beautiful and confused Ms. Lincoln opposite Gary Seven (Robert Lansing), in the episode Assignment: Earth.  The episode was designed as a 'backdoor pilot' - meaning a tale inserted within a TV show that could serve as a launch for a spin-off series. Unfortunately, the show never materialized, so we're all left wondering - whatever became of the resourceful Ms. Lincoln?

Sexy Spotlight - Hoshi Sato - Linda Park

Can an ear be considered sexy?  If that's possible, then it can be safely said Enterprise officer Hoshi Sato (Linda Park) can claim her commanding officer, Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula), found her both competent and sexy.  Archer said to her earnestly, yet colorfully, "I need someone with your ear."  Indeed, as communications officer aboard the first warp powered United Earth starship Enterprise, Lt. Commander Sato was an expert listener, and she helped her brave crew communicate with all manner of lifeforms.


Sato was such a gifted linguist and such an accomplished professional, her work would lead to the standard Starfleet language translation matrix - or in the more common usage term, the linguacode.
