Indeed. Uhura is much too admirable - and engaging - to turn her into evil female. Besides, why should a relationship between Kirk & Spock be threatening? Each relationship has its merit - and wouldn't these people be the ones to realize it? We are boldly going, right?

Yes - on first viewing I was twitching. I was liking what I saw & felt but it was sure messing with my mind. UNTIL the big reveal about halfway through. Then it was relax & enjoy the ride. After that, I couldn't wait to see it again so I could just fill up on the whole concept & admire how it was accomplished.

Am still actually tingling! LOL
