The democratic nature of the J.J. Abrams version of “Star Trek” means that every character has plenty of nice moments, not just the leads.

And Zoe Saldana brings pathos, flintiness and sexual heat to her turn as Lt. Uhura, lover of Spock and a serious upgrade to the bridge of the Enterprise any time she brings those killer eyes, etc., there.

Questions for Zoe, who may be splitting her time between two franchises — “Avatar: The Sequel” supposedly has a place for her — and “Trek”? And “Guardians of the Galaxy” has franchise potential as well. Look at all the IMDB credits. She’s a busy one.

Comment below, and yes, I do use your questions. Thanks for the help.
