Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

Of course someone took her place. You can't just have an OFFICER vanish from their assigned posting. Someone was moved, or bumped, or whatever to make a place for her and to fill the spot on the Farragut. And that was a big to-do they basically handwaved because in the real world, ships and particularly military ships are very careful about crew and everybody is assigned a job, a berth, etc., and you make sure everyone and everything is where they're supposed to be before you head out.

So yes - they had to scramble to replace her on the Farragut and that meant either a person who wasn't quite up to snuff got bumped up the ladder real sudden or someone on the Enterprise got taken off and was probably pissed as hell.

You can bet the Farragut's XO was pissed when s/he had to redo all the crew duty shifts, and who ever was in charge of arranging crew quarters would be pissed when they had to draw up a new bunk/cabin arrangement. The Farragut would have been given her file to arrange all that stuff before even Uhura was told where she was going, you can't just chop and change like that. Spock got lucky that the rest of the fleet was blown up, because there is no way the Farragut's CO would not have been filing a complaint on such an unprofessional act. I really don't think "my girlfriend wanted a better posting because she disagreed with my initial assessment in the middle of an emergency deployment" would have cut the mustard as an excuse either.

That is the other bit that gets me. They were in the middle of an emergency deployment. That is so not the right time to be arguing over placements. I get that, perhaps without the scramble, hen Uhura was officially given her assignment that she might have disagreed and lobbied Spock, or even Pike, for a better one. She would have had time to do it, and she could even have spoken to her CO on the Farragut too (although good luck as I see the phrase "So, you think you are too good for my boat do you?" looming large in that conversation). There might even have been (in fact I'd be surprised if there wasn't) an actual appeals process to follow. However, in the middle of an emergency scramble is not the time to do it. It was damn unprofessional of her to even try. Yeah, it worked out for the best because of writer's fiat, but still. Jeez that scene was a mess.

It really was and it just pissed me off *so bad*. Uhura is not a that unprofessional, that petty, that....anything. It was a huge disservice to her character and all because of writer!fail and the need to shoehorn in a romance.

BAH.

You completely made this up. If it makes you happy to do so, then great, but let's not run around pretending your fanfiction is canon information.

Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[tabaqui]

Uh, wth are *you* babbling about? One - i'm not in this fandom. Two - i don't write TOS/reboot fic of *any* kind. Three - no, sorry, I didn't. If we're going to pretend that the ST universe is even *remotely* like ours, with lines of command and whatnot, than this is the *logical conclusion* of that kind of action.

Sorry if that makes you all butthurt, but you don't just switch out officers on a freaking FLAGSHIP about to go into action without any kind of repercussions or commotion. That we don't get a hint of that in the actual movie just points up the vast faults in the plot and the fact that the writers and director didn't think things through.

Your crazy rant doesn't make anything you've written true. You're trying to apply your own rules to someone else's fictional universe = fanfiction. Though I could call it your personal headcanon if that will make you feel better.

Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[tabaqui]

Uh huh. And are you having this same 'issue' with the other people who agree with me, or are you just whining at me? Get a life, please.

Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[tabaqui]

Oh, look - checking up and down the thread shows me you're not whining to anyone else but me. Wow.

I'm anonymous... How can you tell?

While this is posted under your thread and the second post was in response to you, the sentiment is the same for all of them. Don't feel bad. I wasn't trying to attack you.

Re: The Reboots Improved Literally One Thing

[tabaqui]

I feel neither bad nor attacked, just boggled that only *my* comments are being singled out as if what i'm saying is some kind of horrifying affront. It's an opinion, based upon how organized, militarized groups *work*. Jayzus.
