Okay okay, I grant you that Uhura did not need awesome fighting skills, and Abrams (who I despise so that is why I pick at him) did lift her up from being a glorified phone operator (pretty much her job on the original series), but I'm still dissatisfied (see my dislike of Abrams, dissatisfaction w/him is a given).

I have to say that I think Captain Janeway didn't do that bad... she did have off spring w/Lt. Paris when they were both evolved (devolved?) into amphibian aliens in one confusing episode... and God knows Q would have gotten into her pants if she had given him half a chance! I just mean that Jean Luc Picard was on the air longer, and he didn't have very many relationships... more just flirting w/Dr. Crusher and maybe something more with the stellar cartographer Nella Daren, and definitely something more with Vosh.... Really, he was almost celibate!

I thought that Gene Roddenberry had learned his lesson: that he shouldn't have made Kirk such a huge space slut. But you gotta love the fact that Iowa is one of the first states w/same sex marriage and J. T. Kirk was born in Riverside, Iowa. That ends up being kind of a nice thing for slash writers.
