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.

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.

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.
