She had such grace and strength in playing Uhura. I wish I could have met her. She was one of a kind in the whole universe. I loved Zoe Saldana’s take on Uhura as well. She did her good justice in replicating Nichol’s role. I just read an article where she paid her tribute. She said, “My hope is that we continue to keep her memory alive by celebrating her amazing body of work, and by spreading the message of peace and equality amongst all people. She lived a long, impactful life and not only prospered, but helped so many others prosper too.” I thought that was so kind and well put. Had to share.

It wasn't so much just using a pic of Nichelle. It was that specific look on her face from TSFS. Absolutely priceless.
A close second is this moment when Uhura reacts to Valeris trying to quote rules & regulations to Captain Kirk:

I met her, Walter Koenig, George Takei, and James Doohan at a convention they did out here in AZ when I was a kid, and from what I remember all of them were really nice.
I got one of my uncle's guitars from his son and took my first (informal) lesson from a friend on Sunday. Now I just need longer & more dexterous fingers!
Anyone know anything about watch straps? I popped open a buckle to adjust the strap, but now it won't close. I know I'm supposed to apply a little pressure on it, but it feels like I'm pushing as hard as I can and the buckle won't snap into place. I don't want to push it too hard out of fear of breaking it.
