Film Trivia: Yeoman Rand Saldana

Here's a bit of trivia for the Trekkies out there. If you've seen The Terminal, you may have noticed some interesting things about Zoe Saldana's character, Officer Torres. As Viktor Navorski (played by Tom Hanks) tries to help out his friend Enrique win Officer Torres' affection, he discovers that she's an avid Trekkie who has, on at least one occasion, gone to Star Trek Conventions cosplaying as Yeoman Rand.


The awesomeness continues with her name, which matches up with Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres' from Star Trek: Voyager. And to top it all off, Zoe Saldana will be donning the uniform of a certain communications officer by the name of Nyota Uhura in J.J. Abrams' film reboot of Star Trek due out in 2009. Here's me wishing I could bend the space-time continuum and make 2009 happen now. Anyone up for a little slingshot around the sun?
