So this has been bugging me for a while (The Wrath of Uhura)

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 Much as I enjoy the reboot, it portrays and supports some damned outdated stereotypes.

Yeah, nothing the Star Trek reboot Uhura does can match up to "I am the right hand of vengeance" or the other BB5 classic: "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

Ah, I knew there was an awesome Delenn quote! *grin*
