There was this episode in the original series where Spock was playing a space harp and Uhura starting singing and it was so flirty and fun and i was disappointed when it never went any further. So I feel ya.

[(Anonymous)]

AH yeah! I always felt like they wanted to go there, but it was still the 60s, and one nonconsensual on both sides interracial kiss was as far as they felt they could go.

but i swear it could have worked and been amazing.

I read something at one point about how Uhura was this initial candidate for the ongoing potentially one-sided romantic interest but they eventually had to give that role to Chapel because [racist production conflicts] but I've never been able to remember the source or how legit it was.

[tree_and_leaf]

Mind you, I'm actually kind of glad that that they didn't give Uhura a 'pining' plot, even if it was for bad reasons. I'm more comfortable with the idea that there was a bit of attraction between them in TOS that never went anywhere, but which did given the different situation in AOS.

[ninety6tears]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that story as it is, so I'm kinda glad it didn't involve Uhura. It seems like people idealize what the Spock/Uhura thing would have looked like in TOS when Roddenberry never wanted ongoing relationships between the crew, but again, I don't remember how official the source was for this.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I remember that and I really liked this ship in the original, so I quite enjoyed it in the movie too. Unfortunately the brutal Spock/Uhura vs Spock/Kirk ship wars killed both ships for me.

It's not the only scene. There's this in the "Man Trap" where Uhura does seem a little interested:

Mr. Spock: Miss Uhura, your last sub-space log contained an error in the frequencies column.
Uhura: Mr. Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word 'frequency' once more, I'll cry.
Mr. Spock: Cry?
Uhura: I was just trying to start a conversation.
Mr. Spock: Well, since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word 'frequency'... I have no answer.
Uhura: No, you have an answer. I'm an illogical woman, who's beginning to feel too much a part of that communications console. Why don't you tell me I'm an attractive young lady, or ask me if I've ever been in love? Tell me how your planet Vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full.
Mr. Spock: Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
Uhura: I'm not surprised, Mr. Spock.


and this in "Who Mourns for Adonais?"

Uhura: Mr. Spock, I haven't done anything like this in years. If it isn't done just right, I could blow the entire communications system. It's very delicate work, sir.
Spock: I can think of no one better equipped to handle it, Miss Uhura. Please, proceed.

for Spock that's high praise indeed, and she does smile at him.

Not a lot, but there is a number of small scenes. I found this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK3Fc14xOu8
