Their conflicts mostly arose out of Spock's ultra-logical Vulcan roots versus Uhura's more emotion-based Earthling way of viewing things. In that film, Uhura becomes upset with Spock for taking too many risks on his missions, and not caring about her feelings when putting his own life in danger.
However, by the end of the movie, the pair seem to have mostly made up — though it's made clear there is still a rift between them. And that brings us to Star Trek Beyond.
The pair are explicitly broken up in the movie, and they do not get back together. Joined: Apr 2, I wasn't a fan of the relationship at all; it didn't feel organic to the characters at least not the TOS versions or the story. It seemed like it was just there, since all action movies must have a love story somewhere although I think Rogue One busted that myth.
Still, if it must be there, I like that Beyond didn't put it in the viewer's face and gave both Spock and Uhura the chance to branch out and interact with more characters then they did in the previous two movies. It also gave us the immortal line: "You know Spock, when an Earth girl says 'it's me, not you,' it's definitely you," which is an automatic win in my book.

One of the things I like the least about the movies, especially the 2nd one is how Uhura ended up being portrayed in that regard. She became the whiny girlfriend Sophie , Dec 28, It's whiny to be upset at your boyfriend for not considering your feelings before doing something dangerous?
Wow, no wonder I'm single. DonIago , Dec 28, Malaika likes this. But I guess she swallowed the Kool aid that Starfleet is not the military force, even when it acts like one.

WebLurker , Dec 29, WebLurker just stating the obvious: no one questions your right to like and dislike what you want here but when you rationalize your feelings making several arguments and points about canon that might not be 'facts', as this is a message board it's only natural that someone might disagree with said arguments and points and thus provide a counter argument.
I'm doing nothing that isn't done here on daily basis! It's not like you wrote your opinion on your personal private blog only those who agree with you can read. This thread and poll was created with the purpose of asking people which movie they think did the romance better and OP is seemingly asking that to people who like the relationship , are you honestly surprised someone could disagree with the points you made? In this instance, I find your comments are an example of the bias, hypocrisy and incoherence that I very often read in arguments made by people who don't like this couple, or don't like the reboot being another trek series with different dynamics because they consider the tos ones sacred and untouchable.
This series is a reboot but not even a remake in the classic sense because they made it part of its canon and purpose that the characters are in another reality and thus we are NOT seeing the backstory of the tos characters. It's a blank page. Honestly, it's super lame for me that you criticize the new dynamics for stuff you give to the old ones a pass for just because they are inspired by to tos.
Do you think they had been intimate before? Joined: Aug 22, Location: Terra Inlandia. M'Sharak , Dec 28, I'm not totally sure, but I think the "Starfleet Academy" young adult novels are going to pin it down. Or they may already have, since I've only read the first, "The Delta Anomaly" which is before they got together. King Daniel , Dec 28, Joined: Nov 12, Location: canada.
I think it started on the enterprise. The implication is the relationship started at the Academy. Though not while Spock was her instructor. Nerys Myk , Dec 28, Joined: Dec 22, Seeing as Spock felt that assining Uhura to the Enterprise could be read the wrong way by people and the way Uhura spoke to him I'd say the relationship was on full boil while she was at the Academy.
I get the impression they've been together for a while, not that it was a recent development. MattWallace , Dec 28, Joined: Feb 4, Location: Indiana.
