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

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?

 

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.
