Your daily reminder that Leonard Nimoy and Nichelle Nichols tried their hardest to imply Spock/Uhura despite the Hayes code not allowing interracial relationships, that Gene Roddenberry would've explored their relationship more if TOS had gotten a 4th season, and that Nichelle Nichols wrote a short story (with input from Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath) for New Voyages II where Spock, Uhura, and Kirk openly-flirt with each other, Uhura kisses Spock, and implies that Spock and Kirk are sharing a bed at the end.

First post!! I love Uhura

[tegdoh]

In 'Who Mourns for Adonis' Uhura is shown connecting a bypass circuit to repair the com panel. I can't express what an impression that made on me as a young girl watching TOS reruns in the 70s. Women didn't use tools, much less solder. Women weren't engineers. The bypass circuit is her idea. Spock assures her that he can think of "no one better equipped to handle it." So yeah, linguistics is cool too. But Uhura was an engineer first.

Fun fact, Uhura wasn't a linguist in TOS, she was the communications switchboard operator. The languages thing came about in the series bible for the unmade Phase II TV series (the pilot of which eventually became The Motion Picture), in order to give Nichelle/Uhura more to do. It subsequently became a staple of the novels and part of the character in the 2009 reboot and now in Strange New Worlds. IIRC, Nichelle wasn't happy in STVI that her character didn't know Klingon (something Into Darkness explictly fixed)

Growing up reading old novels (which took on the Phase II concepts as gospel), I had no idea Uhura didn't start off as a linguist until certain fans cried foul in '09.

I'm impatient, I'm obsessed -- here is a starter pack for S1 Nyota Uhura:

In my mind, Nichelle Nichols was a Dreamworks Princess who should have had her own animated and live remake movie.

Chekov’s hear me out cake:

RIP Bones you would’ve loved keysmashing.

RIP Kirk you would’ve loved using hyper specific emoji and combinations to get your exact emotion across.

RIP Spock you would’ve loved leaving people on read.

RIP Sulu you would’ve loved “o7”.

RIP Uhura you would’ve loved Vine.

RIP Scotty you would’ve loved fighting people on Twitter/Reddit.

RIP Chekov you would’ve loved hear me out cakes.
