If we feel a need to explain that, the fact that Uhura and T'Pring have never shared a scene on SNW is more than sufficient an explanation. Well, never shared a scene which wasn't a dream, that is.
Definitely one of his more underrated works.
I have a hard time buying that the lead Communications officer doesn’t have knowledge of pretty much everything that goes on, on ship.
She isn’t Chekov cleaning the pisser on Deck 78 when Khan happens to walk by.
I'm sure Uhura has heard of T'Pring and the hijinks. She's just never met her face to face. So she can react to seeing her with "She's lovely, Mister Spock. Who is she?"
Why would Uhura have any memory of T''Pring to begin with beyond possibly the name, which Spock states to her as he's watching the Viewscreen in answer to her question in TOS S2 Amok Time?Even if the timing allowed for Uhura to lose her memory of T'Pring, it still doesn't make it vaguely not-weird that Spock ponders a childhood photo of her.
(Yes, plenty of reasons/excuses as to why he might. I reserve the right to lightly mock it.)
Uhura was never on the ship, or she was off somewhere when to T'Pring showed up on the Enterprise in any Strange New Worlds episode involving T'Pring.
And in TOS S2 Amok Time; Christine Chapel is silent and says nothing when to bring appears on the Viewscreen during that same scene.
I'm not arguing that Uhura knows T'Pring at all. I was going with the flow of the conversation that asserted that she didn't need to avoid her all this time due to The Changeling. (Which also, as pointed out, doesn't help.)
I have a hard time buying that that would be a communication's officer's job. Security? Sure. But Communications? Besides, in Spock Amok, the entire time that T'Pring is on board, Uhura is tied up with helping Pike with negotiations and is not shown at the communications station at any time during then episode. I don't know how long T'Pring was on-board following Level Five Transporter Accident, but it was implied to be a short trip that was already on Enterprise's route. And with Spock in recovery mode, I don't see her socializing with the crew much at any rate. And those are the only two times that she's been on Enterprise. She wasn't on the bridge when T'Pring was on the view-screen in The Serene Squall.
i wonder how many missions in total the crew of the enterprise in strange new worlds went on during the off screens
and also imagine how many gimmicks there was during the off screens on strange new worlds

So I guess you're implying that somehow SNW sucks now?Forgive the double posting - separate subject, but also falls under general SNW discussion.

No, just sharing the link. It's unfortunate, is all.
What's unfortunate? Fans knew the 6 episode 5th season would be SNW's last before Season 4 aired - and all the props were sold off before the Season aired too.
My point? At this point any Nielson ratings are irrelevant to the series.
(Unless of course for you to want to watch it, it must be popular enough to show up at the top of a chart or it's not worth your time.)

For me, the takeaway is that Paramount may be doing Trek a disservice by keeping it isolated on their streaming services. If I read it right, three of their other shows made the Nielsen top ten for the week they were talking about. All three also streamed on Netflix.
I mean, Star Trek is a niche product on a niche service. Maybe when Paramount+ and HBOMax combine, we’ll see better viewership. I believe it should be competitive with Netflix and Prime at that point. But let’s be honest, limiting the list to 10 is pretty small, Taylor Sheridan does draw in the viewers (as overrated as I might think he is) and Netflix dominates. That’s just how it is for the moment.
And on that day, I shall mourn.
Uh...we'll workshop that one
I made it from 1974 to TMP. We'll be fine.
