Love Uhura More
By ALEX WELCH
Celia Rose Gooding stars in the “Star Trek” prequel series "Strange New Worlds" as Nyota Uhura, an important character in the "Star Trek" franchise. On the show, Uhura is a cadet specializing in linguistics, and it looks like "Star Trek" fans are already falling in love with the way the character is depicted in "Strange New Worlds."
A captured scientist is beamed up to the Enterprise in the premiere episode and poses a potential danger to the ship. Uhura uses her knowledge to befriend him, which sets the scientist up to be recaptured and sedated again, showing how ingenious and intelligent Uhura is.
Fans took to Reddit to voice how much they loved the episode and that they were falling in love with Gooding's take on Uhura. One user observed, "Great 'Trek' message combined with character stuff for Uhura to show how prepared she is and [how] great at her job [she is]."
