Nicely done. I suppose, "kiss my black ass" wouldn't have passed Desilu's final cut.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Always thinking of the outtake where she's talking to a Starbase and a guy off-camera does a fake feminine voice in response to her line and her eyes just light up and she says "Hey, suger." in the most genuinely sultry voice I've ever heard her use.
In most other circumstances, I think it would have been sort of creepy, but I went to a Star Trek convention as a kid just after Star Trek V came out and she was the guest and some fan came up to the mic during questions time and said, "I don't have a question, I just saw Star Trek V and I wanted to tell you that you still have the best legs in the galaxy."
Like I said, creepy in many instances, but she was 57 when he said it and she spent years as a dancer (she's one of the main dancers in the film of Porgy and Bess), so she definitely appreciated the compliment. It got a massive cheer too, and not just from the men.
Uhura fights dirty, it's canon.
Am I missing something? I don't understand how this would be an issue for censors
- Fair + maiden
"Neither" means
- not fair (because she's black); this would probably not be an issue for censors
- not a maiden (because she's had sex); they might not have liked this one.
Oh interesting, I took neither to mean not fair because she doesn't fight fair and not maiden because she doesn't want to be treated that way by him. I actually didn't know maiden was tied to sex at all 🤔
The equivalent of baseball's scoreless inning is called a "maiden over" in cricket.
All of a sudden the phrase "maiden voyage" makes a lot more sense, never thought about it before
Yeah it's the literal meaning but not many people use it that way. I'm not surprised the censors let this one slide, even if it was in the script they wouldn't have got it.
Nah. You could always at least reference fucking as long as you didn't use the word "fucking." Now if she had insinuated that she farted, that would have been immediately barred. Farts couldn't even be referenced.
