RIP Nichelle.

[Mozz71]

Sad times. Only three of the main OS cast left now.

RIP Nichelle.

[Gromit]

Good innings.
The new Uhura in ST: Strange New Worlds is fabulously cast. The character lives on.

[Peter Pedant]

and for completeness they are - - -?

[Lie-in King]

Very sad news indeed. RIP Nichelle.

[piggynose]

TOS?

[TheWinner]

The Original Series

[JimF]

William Shatner, George Takei and Walter Koenig.

[Gromit]

First inter-racial screen kiss on American TV.
Kirk snogs Uhura. She really fancied Spock though.

[Peter Pedant]

thz - Chekov for anyone wondering

( Dr Dorn says as the last line of The Seagull, “Don't say anything but the fact is Constantin's just shot himself”, - no not THAT Chekhov silly, this is Ab for chrissakes - ter daah !)

[Peter Pedant]

its the wiggly ears innit

[Gromit]

Chekov was not in the first series of TOS. He was introduced after it was pointed out that a Russian character was conspicuous by his absence.

[piggynose]

Back in the day wasn't it called USS Enterprise?
Or were they all called that?

[Redhelen72]

I missed this - RIP Nichelle - fantastic life and story

[ToraToraTora]

piggy, yes: https://intl.startrek.com/sites/default/files/images/2019-01/1a551829d50f1400b0dab21fdd969c04.jpg
not also that they use the English Spelling as they did with the Aircraft carrier and the space shuttle

[piggynose]

Ttt, are you a trekkie?

[ToraToraTora]

a bit!

[Gromit]

He’s an old Trekkie - he doesn’t like the new stuff.

Which is a shame because ST: Strange New Worlds is brilliant.

gromit, not strictly true, I don't like Discovery and I haven't really got into Picard but I just discovered that with Sky Cinema I get Paramount+ free so err indoors and I will be watching SNW, hopefully we'll watch the first episode tonight.

[Gromit]

Hopefully you will like it.
The consensus is that it’s the best first season since TOS (better than TNG whose first season was ropey).

what English spelling?
