Right, forgot about the Spock-uhura thing. Wish I could forget again.
Paramount/JJ trying another Trek movie (that will probably never get made).
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
As Trek romances go it is probably the least offensive of the bunch.
I hope they finally just do it...
We don't *see* her, but she was in ST'09:
MCCOY: Reaction to the vaccine. Dammit! Nurse Chapel, I need fifty cc's of cortazone.
CHAPEL: (offscreen) Yes, sir.
... and mentioned in STiD:
CAROL: You're much cleverer than your reputation suggests, Captain Kirk.
KIRK: I have a reputation?
CAROL: Yes, you do. I'm a friend of Christine Chapel's.
KIRK: Christine, yes. How is she?
CAROL: She transferred to the outer frontier to be a nurse. She's much happier now.

oh no!
You think it's weird now, wait until the crossover.
A Fistful of Spocks.
So, she was a nurse, then transferred to the frontier to...be a nurse?
"The Three Spocks", wherein Peck Spock and Quinto Spock get deputized by the Vulcans to save their prime homeworld, with archival footage of the original Spock on a monitor to keep them from bickering.
I interpreted the line to mean "she transferred from being a nurse on a starship to being a nurse on the outer frontier", with the emphasis on the locations. Not everyone keeps the same job when they move. I left out the following bit of dialogue in which Carol says "You have no idea who I'm talking about, do you?", so it seems like she's filling in gaps to jog his memory.
Or it's just bad writing. Probably both.
Someone has to do that job.
Any reason she couldn't do bio-research on a star ship?
The transparent-aluminum ceiling of the (22)60s.
The location was more important not just the job.
Seems to me that Head Nurse on a Starship must have been a pretty prestigious position, and her bio-research background was one of many qualifications that she possessed to land the spot. She was apparently well on her way to her doctorate, and succeeded McCoy as Chief Surgeon.
