I agree that they are upgrading Uhura to broaden the audience, and there is no reason why they won't continue to want the audience broadened. So...
Well, that's just the thing. IMHO the film raised Uhura to (at least) the level of McCoy in importance. She certainly had about the same amount of...
I agree with your take. People born in the 80s and 90s have no connection to the formulas of dramatic television in the 1960s, in which there were...
Michael Bay is good at making two hour trailers. Any comparison between his work and Star Trek XI is absurd.
Yes, and one of the reasons this wasn't included in an organic way was that NO one hour US TV show at that time was permitted to have regular...
I do know a bit about movie marketing and the number one rule is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The ingredients in this film have made it a...
Anyone who says she should have taken the Farragut is really saying she ought to be dead. And also, I guess Kirk shouldn't have gotten onto the...
I don't think the film series would continue to draw multiple segments of the audience without it, so I hope it continues, just not as an A plot....
Was there anything in the movie that indicated that she was currently his student? No, there was not, but it seems that a lot of people have...
Re: Dicouraging Kirk/Spock slashers... Well, we don't particularly "see" the skills of McCoy either (except his making Kirk sick and then...
There was nothing absolutely certain about whether they were currently teacher/student, but he calls her Lieutenant in that scene, suggesting that...
That's right. Uhura would be space dust if not for this. I agree that Trek has never seemed to portray any problem with officers (or even enlisted...
This serves as a reminder that there are fans that don't think of "slash" or "ships" according to fanspeak, and millions more in the general...
If the creators of the film knew or cared that much about slashers, they would understand that putting one of the male heroes in a relationship...
Uh, there will be no triangle. If one of the two main heroes has a relationship, they will keep the other relatively unencumbered. I can't see Pon...
Well, I guess one message of Star Trek is that what looks "normal" is a matter of perspective. If one is able to be transported into that universe...
I agree, and for me this was the biggest flaw in an otherwise good film. If they wanted to have the Enterprise crew in their "proper" places at...
Check link below for a beautifully written blog entry revealing how nuUhura and her relationship with Spock can be so positively regarded by women...
That's probably it. There are a lot of people, especially women, who simply do not accept anything with aliens and spaceships as "realistic." If...
Spock of course. Sexiness is more than looks, too. Kirk has a chance to catch up somewhat if he matures by the next film.
