Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[(Anonymous)]

Just to clear things up -- I'm a Spirk shipper through and through. And I think Spuhura in the new films is terribly written (although I think the idea of them is damn cute..). I agree with you that Uhura is portrayed too much as "Spock's girlfriend." In STID, she basically asked Kirk how he was when Pike died but basically everything else about her (besides the Klingon scene) is centered around Spock.

Could her role be better? YES. But I still think that even though it's not up to today's standards and there are still huge issues, giving her more screen time is a positive step forward. Sulu and Chekov, for example, don't really get to do much more than her. So it's not perfect and it's by no means revolutionary the way Uhura was in the 1960s, but at least she gets more screen time and some badass scenes (Klingon scene and helping to fight Khan).

But her role definitely needs major improvement. She still has no backstory and no independent plot line. So I see what you mean -- in terms of progressivism, Uhura in the 1960s pushed the envelope more than Uhura in JJ Trek. But I do like that she's in the film more rather than relegated to the side.
