    Damn... just the thread title and I knew. :(

    This has always been my favorite scene with Nichelle Nichols/Uhura.

    And probably the best way to remember her is to post her talking about MLK, since that story annoys Dayton so much.

    So now we're down to Takei and Shatner, which seems kind of funny given the :thelurker: between the two of them.

    Or is Koenig still alive?

    EDIT: Holy shit, he is. I thought he died a while ago.

    You might be thinking of nuChekov, Anton Yelchin, who did pass away a few years ago.

    I thought he’d died, too.

    I might’ve gotten him confused with his son.

    I wish she had gotten more to do in the actual show, although she did have nice scenes here and there in the show and movies.

    I am glad we are at least getting more of Uhura with the Abrams movies and Strange New Worlds. I would like to think Nichelle Nichols was happy to see her character continued and expanded upon.

    She was an absolutely wonderful human being. Aside from her role and her work with NASA recruitment, and hell, just being a role model for generations of people, she was among the best. Sorry I never got a chance to meet her at a convention.

    Me, too. I hope she was lucid enough to at least enjoy this first season of SNW to see what the new actress was bringing to this role.

    I remember garamet describing how she worked with her on a book project and what type of character she was. Now they're both gone. :(
