/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I'm really torn on her because I like what the actress is doing with the character and I like how she's developing, but I also don't think they're doing enough to make her evolve into the Uhura we see on TOS. I like that she is slowly building confidence, but I think it's too slow. Because Uhura on TOS was one of the most confident of crewmembers. This is a woman who was willing to sing love songs to Spock just to mess with him and tell Kirk that she had feelings for him the she could never act upon because of their positions while they were being forced to kiss. Not to mention her general bravery as part of the Enterprise crew.
You have to remember when we first see this incarnation of Uhura she’s a cadet. Remember back to high school or college and those first few years in the working world? It was intimidating and you didn’t know what was really going on all the time. Now apply that to someone who is on the flagship of the federation. She’s bound to be a little nervous. And this latest season she met Mariner who set her on the path to the Nyota we all know and love. I can’t wait to see how she Celia evolves the character and makes it her own.
I hope you're right, because by the end of the series, she needs to be super confident and flirty and full of song.
