In the second movie of the Star Trek reboot, both Spock and Kirk fear the wrath of Uhura. Really? Because compared to almost any woman in the Babylon 5 universe - Ivonova, Delenn, Lyta Alexander, Number 1, Dodger - Uhura seems ineffectual. The original Star Trek broke boundaries. Much as I enjoy the reboot, it portrays and supports some damned outdated stereotypes.
