1. My favorite uhura quote:

After sulu refers to her as a fair maiden, she says, "sorry, neither"



Supposedly this was not in the script but an ad lib by Nichelle herself!

I loved the whole episode (especially Sulu running around shirtless).

10. She's a beautiful human being inside & out. So sorry to read that she was embroiled in a...

guardianship fight due to what they call "moderate progressive dementia". She's 87 y.o. She truly has lived long & prospered, cuz she's got folks fighting over her estate.

[Delphinus]

13. What a beautiful

picture of the two of them.

May her journey to the other side be kind.

14. She's not dead AFAIK, but because of her mental state, she's got folks fighting over...

guardianship. They want to take control of her health care and financial decisions.

12. She's beautiful in every way!

I was a true fan from the first day of Star Trek. The stories were so good that the obvious low budget didn’t matter in the least. My family all made fun of me for being a fan and I just thought they were dumb for not getting it.

Of course, I was the one who was right. I never once doubted that.
