Star Trek + Red Shirt = not so good

Regarding Uhura and her underwritten role...I recall an interview where she stated she was quitting...and was convinced by MLK...to stay and make a difference. I'm glad she made the decision. Sure...the part could have been more...but ST did stretch the boundaries (as far as that genre, the medium and audience would allow).

And after meeting her in person...I can attest...the camera simply didn't do justice. A beautiful woman, and lovely lady.

I had heard the same thing about MLK. I also seem to recall that Gene Roddenberry did not originally intend to differentiate between genders in the uniforms (see The Cage, previously reference, and notice that Number 1 wears pants) - but that the network made him, "to increase interest in the show", and that the short skirts were in keeping with fashions at the time TOS was produced.
