Uhura

From an unmade Star Trek episode written by Jeff Lint, related to us by Steve Aylett:

Lint describes a series of hypervivid visuals to be superimposed over Kirk’s sweating face — he undergoes a sort of 2001 Stargate experience unachievable by weekly television budgets of the time. McCoy sees the treacly release of enzymes in redemption orgies of polarity breakdown, all matter flushing with an eternal blush of realisation. Spock, eyebrow raised, watches fiery loops reconnecting in escalating scales … Scottie, with orthogonal schematic blossoms flurrying over his face, begins laughing and shouts that the ship can handle anything. Uhura calmly gives Kirk a week’s notice, her thoughts elsewhere.
