Captain Kirk Becomes A Romulan

Being a starship Captain isn't easy, and it's a simple fact that a Starfleet officer's duty is never truly done.  It's especially hard when you have to change your race and even species.

In the classic episode, The Enterprise Incident, Kirk and Spock must become intergalactic spies to obtain the famed cloaking device technology.  Kirk may not have really enjoyed the surgical procedure which gives him his new alien look, but he doesn't look half bad as a Romulan - a member of Spock's offshoot, or cousin race.

Calling all Jean-Luc Picard clone fans!  Sexy actor Tom Hardy (Warrior) who played Captain Picard's clone in the feature film, Star Trek: Nemesis, does a bang up job in bringing back the icon of the future road - Mad Max.

First fleshed out by Mel Gibson in Mad Max (1979), Hardy co-stars with Charlize Theron (Monster) in director George Miller's fantastic action flick.  The action is incredible in volume and scope and the movie is full of some truly eye popping stunts.  All those who relished Hardy's performance as the tragic clone in director Stuart Baird's Trek romp, will enjoy him here as the tough as nails road warrior in a future where parking your car is strictly for wimps.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Lt. Yar - Denise Crosby

She kept order as Security Chief on Captain Picard's Enterprise for only one season, but Lt. Yar (Denise Crosby) was an unforgettable character.  Her lean, athletic body, confident manner and piercing blue eyes let all those around her know she always meant business.

Denise Crosby went on to star in feature films like Pet Sematary, but returned to The Next Generation in the time tripping episode Yesterday's Enterprise, and then played her own daughter, the half Romulan, half human Sela in the episodes Unification and Redemption.  Crosby would go on to produce and host the definitive Trek fan documentary Trekkies and its sequel Trekkies 2.

Star Trek Spotlight - Toreth - Carolyn Seymour - Face of the Enemy

Romulan Commanders are known for supreme control over their crews and themselves.  In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Face of the Enemy, actress Carolyn Seymour plays Toreth - a woman who must face off with Starfleet officer Troi whose undercover as a Romulan secret service agent.  Troi (Marina Sirtis) plays a kind of CIA and KGB mash-up, an agent of the sinister Tal Shiar.

Toreth has a personal grudge against the Tal Shiar - her father was executed by them for his less than mainstream political views.  Though Troi has to do her duty as a Starfleet officer, it's clear she's pained when she much clash with such a principled woman as Toreth, who under difference circumstances, may just be someone the Counselor would call fond acquaintance or even friend.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Saavik - Kirstie Alley

Star Trek gave Kirstie Alley her first feature film role in the Nicholas Meyer directed, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.  Before she was stuffy corporate executive Rebecca Howe opposite Ted Danson in the now iconic sitcom, Cheers, she impressed us as an Enterprise officer.  Playing Lt. Saavik, Alley fleshed out the beautiful, but reserved Starfleet officer, who was the able protege of Leonard Nimoy's Spock.

Alley was to reprise her role in the next Trek installment, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, but reportedly asked for too much money to get back the plum gig.  The now vacant part then went to actress Robin Curtis, who would also play Saavik in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.  Alley has since become an A List Hollywood star, though she's courted controversy over the years from everything to her weight and waistline to her Scientology affiliation and friendship with actor and co-star John Travolta (Look Who's Talking), but she's never far from the public's fascination and admiration.
