Spoon:  Lieutenant uhura is a legend in everyone's mind if they are true Star Trek fans. I read the article that announced her death yesterday, and one of the things that I found interesting was that she wanted to we have Star Trek TOS. She said she met Martin Luther King junior, and after she did that, he told her to stay in Star trek because she is a star and she was a groundbreaker. From what I see she was also a lovely lady who tried to do her very best, and it sounds like she loved the series. Her character has evolved and had evolved from the beginning, and she is indispensable if you are a ship captain because she keeps you on your toes and make sure all communications are monitored and taken care of.

Nichelle Nichols herself sounds like she had a very busy and full life. She will be missed, and I believe the only people that are alive would be:chekov, Sulu, Kirk, and Kyle . I believe most of the original series cast other than these are no longer with us but I can tell you every time we see a Star Trek death it kind of reminds me that they were stars in their time and they were groundbreakers, but nichelle Nichols being the first black actress to play her character was incredible. If you remember the original pilot where majel Barrett roddenberry played number one, NBC requested another pilot because they thought that was really weird having a first officer that was a woman, or having her as the second moon command of a ship. In the new pilot, of course Spock is the science officer and also the first officer, so both of those series were groundbreakers, and those will always be remembered in my Star Trek numbering scheme , I believe that the cage was numbered 099 . I'll always remember her as a character, and also remember her as a person an incredible woman who had a lot of drive and who will greatly be missed .
