I was thinking about this the other day. Even though I named
Heroes as the best show of the year, I've been worried lately that season two might turn out to be an over-hyped, overdone disaster that will make me tire of it really quickly. I mean, they're adding cast members at an astonishing rate (
Kristin Bell,
Nichelle Nichols,
David Anders, Stephen Tobolowsky,
Janel Parrish,
Jessica Collins). They're going to have a storyline in another time (Hiro), produced a
spinoff mini-series to be directed by Kevin Smith, produced
online stories and comics to keep fans entertained and well-fed and gone on
a world tour to promote the show. It's really overwhelming, and I hope they're not doing too much, too soon.
The Boston Globe's Matthew Gilbert is
worried too.

To boldly go where other
Star Trek actors have gone before:
Heroes! A few days ago,
TrekMovie.com revealed that Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in the original
Star Trek series, was cast in a recurring role on NBC's hit show
Heroes. The actress joins George Takei, Sulu from the original
Trek, and Dominic Keating, Malcolm Reed from
Enterprise, who are already on
Heroes' pay roll (Keating was cast in a recurring role earlier this summer). To add to the
Star Trek-
Heroes links, Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar, was cast as Spock in the upcoming movie.
Slight spoilers after the jump!

When I first considered doing 'The Five' for the women of
Star Trek it seemed simple enough. After giving that some thought though, I realized it's just not possible. Over the hundreds of hours of television and movies that comprise the
Trek universe, there have just been way too many beautiful women to boil it all down to just five. I mean, just in the original series you have the likes of Yeoman Tamura (Miko Mayama - pictured), Lt. Landon (Celeste Yarnall), T'Pring (Arlene Martel), Mea Three (Barbara Babcock), Drusilla (Lois Jewell), and Andrea (Sherry Jackson). And that's just to start. So, while I have chosen five of my favorites after the jump, I realize that there are easily another fifty that could make the list. Feel free to add your favorites in the comments. I'm curious to see what the TV Squad faithful think.
