Do you think Uhura will hook up with someone in S3?

[Oddish]

Again, I would rather watch a romance unfold that I knew could go somewhere. I know I just said it's theoretically possible for something like Spock/Chapel to happen, as well as Pike/Batel to get a reprieve or La'an to hook up with her crush (no spoilers). But I don't think any of those things are going go happen. Whatever happens with Spock and Chapel, we have to know that it's in the cruel crosshairs of canon. A romance featuring, say, Ortegas could go the distance. Is it wrong to hope for something like that?

This is a starship, not high school. Not everyone needs to be coupled up in order to avoid being a social outcast.

Yeah, but most people like sex.

Go figure.

Single women are the currently happiest people in the modern world. She doesn't need a relationship for completion, though maybe this Scotty could be her dear friend with benefits.

I don't think I'm attached to anyone having a particular romance, or continuing to be happily single, but it will be great to see what the writers actually come up with.

Totally agree. I especially appreciate that with Uhura. She seems to coming into her own sense of self-worth without it being dependent on someone else to be happy.

My first thought was the real counterpart of this guy: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Starfleet_personnel_(illusory)#Crewmember_001

But based on their dialogue, he might have been an amalgam of people she'd seen in the past/her perfect man, for she doesn't recognize him when asked later.

Could be. I hadn't realized until looking at the link you shared how many times different characters have interacted with people or beings, that were illusionary.

While I'd be happy to see Uhura find someone she likes, I'm not entirely sure that SNW cares about her that much.

Hopefully, she'll have much more of her story involved next season.

Patience. There's a bunch of characters of import in SNW, and they're all getting some love. Including Uhura.

Good to know.

She gets more screen time than half the cast. Certainly a great deal more than Nichols.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Have her hook up with Scotty so that Star Trek V with them makes some tiny bit of sense.

 

[Jayson1]

I think that would be a good idea.

 

[Nyotarules]

Based on season 2 the writers seem to be keeping her in living solo mode like TOS Uhura. 20th century TV depiction of black female characters as romantic interest was close to zero, hopefully SNW will break that practice, at least 21st century TV is a little better.

That may be the case, but like you, I hope they break that practice for the next season.

I truly hope not, not to deny her relationship and/or romance (cue TOS “Romance Music Riff) but because I really like how her character is developing. I don’t know if it needs a “partner” to keep on its path.

Agreed.

I find the tendency towards romance to be used more as a cheap way to create drama than anything substantial. Yes, it can be done but I have limited interest in romance in Trek.

 

[Wingcommanderdarkwolf01]

Scotty maybe?

 

[Jayson1]

I could see her having a one night stand. Maybe even with Scotty. Not all romance has turn into deep love. Sometimes it can just be two adults having a good time.
