I cannot stand Scotty/Uhura
- Thread starter Agenda
- Start date
Yeah, God forbid the characters have anything happen to them in the years between movies....
As I mentioned in another thread, a much better use of Uhura in this movie would have been to finally (in live action) give her a shot at the centre seat, by having her stay on the Enterprise, in command, and have Chekov co-pilot the shuttle during the raid on Nimbus City. This also would have saved us from the fan dance!

'Years between movies'
THere isn't even a half year from Trek 2 to Trek 5.
But if you want to defend an innane, incongruous, go-nowhere, pointless, humor-based idea as the romance between these two was----I guess you've got to come up with something.
No, I'm not against things happening to the crew between movies---i like the idea. I just want to be good ideas---not stupid ones.
I never thought the scene implied any kind of serious relationship and I'm surprised that others did take it that way.
No I don't think it implied any serious relationship.
That's why I agree that the 'something happened to them between movies' is just nonsense.
It wasn't even part of early versions. It was a GAG, a LARF---it was thrown in to give Scott & Uhura some 'busy work' that would also be 'funny' Bad busy work and not funny.
But it was clearly sexual what uhura was getting at in that last scene in sickbay. You'd have to be an idiot not to get that point.

Nah...they just woulda had Chekov do the fan dance.
"Who wants to see my wessal?"
It's also because... well... do you really want to think about your grandparents or aging parents getting it on?
I didn't like the Scotty/Uhura pairing either, but on the average I didn't think that the other hour and 42 minutes of the movie were any better.
Completely disagree about Worf and Troi, thought it worked better than Troi and Riker by a long shot.
I agree. It was totally out of left field and made no sense. I'm glad it was never followed up on in SIX.
I actually kinda liked it. It was nice to see them interact in such a cutely romantic way. Just because they didn't have a relationship before doesn't preclude one from happening. Maybe one day, between The Voyage Home and The Final Frontier, Scotty finally pulled is face out of his technical specs and actually listened to Uhura singing. Or, fancy this, she might have actually always liked him but Scotty was always preoccupied. When you're on a starship and you've got this chain of command thing going, boning your superior or soubordinate might comnplicate things. Now that their careers were pretty much nowheresville, maybe they threw caution to the wind decided to be friends with benefits. Or maybe they did fall in love, but broke up before TUC because of Scotty's horrid beer farts and tiny dong ("Aye, I can't even see it now."). Who knows? But it was a nice dimension to them and wasn't nearly the atrocity the "head banging on beam" thing was..
^^^except without the 'head-banging 'atrocity' they'd would never be in the sickbay in the first place.
The movie would be better without both scenes.
There was a good poll a year or two back where they listed every 'objectionable' scene from TFF and whether it should be cut in a director's version.
Scott/Uhura in the sickbay was the least liked on any scene in the movie if i recall.
Even worse than the fan-dance and hitting the head.
How can we find old threads like that anyway?

I said, "on the average."
So, 'on the average' the rest of the movie isn't any worse than one of the WORST scenes?
Makes zero sense. If the scene in question was an average (not good/not bad) scene that might make some sense. But the Scotty/Uhura scene is clearly one of the worst as judged by most fans.
Once again, I wouldn't trust your opinion.
If you think the rest of the movie is good, I wouldn't trust your opinion either, but who cares? Our opinions are just opinions.
If you do NOT think the rest of the movie is good, our opinions aren't different enough to worry about anyway.
