55: Should Have Been The B Plot
Nyota Uhura.
Of all the characters in The Original Series, probably none was
more underutilized than Uhura. In this episode of Standard Orbit,
Mike and Drew talk about the communications officer of the original
Enterprise who could have been so much more had times been
different. It seems that Uhura was just filling a seat that needed
to be filled on the bridge. Was this a matter of race, or just of
her not being one of the three main characters? Find out what we
think of how Uhura was used, and how more plots should have rightly
focused on her.
