Uhura was another milestone. So was Sulu, come to think of it.

an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

Wasn't Uhuru the 4IC?

What? 4IC = fourth in command. Kirk was the CO, Spock was the XO/2IC, Scott was the ChEng/3IC. I seem to recall seeing somewhere that Uhuru was the 4IC...

Uhuru is a satellite, Uhura is an imaginary communications officer.

Ah. My bad. I blame the evil space monkeys with their orbital mind control lasers...

....and she had Archer's writers...I think she did pretty well considering.
I wonder what Trek would have been like if they had made the first captain a woman in the 60's, as they (briefly) toyed with.

But they had her go insane instead.

Re: The Original Series thread
I'm off-topic again, but at least I'm derailing my own thread. Coffee-Kat, I read chapter 1 of the "Secret of the Amethest." I'm intrigued. Where do I comment? Is there a thread on this site?
I'm donating my body to science fiction.

sulu possibly though there were a couple of other lt's like desalle.
though she wore red evidently she had been in command rotation and had spent time at the helm since uhuru did take it over.
there are some big questions.. like where was scotty in errand of mercy.
the real world explanation is that only shatner and nimoy were under contract for every episode in the first season .
to retcon it move wolf in the fold soon after errand of mercy and scotty was unable to take over command because he was hurt in the explosion referenced in wolf in the fold.
Re: The Original Series thread
kirk's conquests..
the women he seemed to really love did die.
miranamee and edith though it could be said he wasnt himself
with miranamee.
a lot of the others were women who were there who sometimes had info he needed to get.
the andriod girl in what are little girls made of.
the real interesting borderline tragic one lenore karidan in conscience of the king were he indeed started to court her to see if he could find out info to see if her father was indeed kodos the executioner but in the end he may have been falling for her.
the one i hate and all i can say it is symbolic of the worst of the third season was rayna the other android girl and it seemed to unusual because before kirk while flirting often was trying to help his ship and here he just seemed uncorncerend about the plague.
you did see women in a variety of roles on the ship all the way from being at the helm. to engineering to weapons control as well as the sciences .
you even had a female jag officer as the prosecuter in kirks court martial.

Re: The Original Series thread
My absolute favorite TOS women:
T'Pring
Marlana (Can't figure out how to spell her last name and too lazy to look it up, but she was that MU chick)
and the Romulan Commander (who was never given a real name
)
And I loved "Conscience of the King" - that was one of the best tos episodes.
