Future title suggestions: Because he knows her first name is Nyota.




"Frankly, I was extremely jealous of his scenes with Zoe Saldana and I think it’s totally unfair that I never got to do that.
I will never forgive the writers and the director, for having put me in this position, to have to be watching that, rather than participating"

— Leonard Nimoy



Zoe Quotes
I try not to publicly announce the story line I’m in. In this situation, that whole relationship to me gave me the desire, as the newer generation, to completely fall in love with the character. After reading about the character, going to all the fan sites, I realized Spock and Uhura had more in common, in terms of their attraction, than any other characters in the script. She was an apt pupil, she only lives to work, she loves to study, she loves to be the best at what she does. And then all of a sudden there’s this mentor that is a couple years older than she is. He’s [inaudible] and pointy ears, and sexy. He always knows the answer. It just made more sense. It’s also the start of the connection they have. For him, being a Vulcan, always having this battle with his human side. To allow Uhura to see something not even his father was allowed to see, to see him fail, was absolutely priceless. And for Uhura to have only this man call her by her first name, I just thought it was kind of awesome.



Zachary Quotes
For me, the relationship provides a great source of levity in the film: between Kirk and Spock, between Kirk and Uhura. But between Spock and Uhura I think it provides a really interesting depth. Uhura essentially represents a canvas onto which Spock projects the emotions he can’t really otherwise express. And I think that dynamic for me was really rewarding as an actor. That scene that Zoe and I played in the elevator was definitely one of the most present experiences through shooting, and that has a great deal to do with Zoe and her emotional availability and openness. It was such a comforting, confined space that we were in, in that moment.




Title suggestions:
Zoe declared Zach a good kisser!
They could have cute, chocolate, pointy-eared babies.
Geeky love is hot!
Because Spock selfishly wants to spend more time with her.
Because he came back to her.


Past Titles:

#8 - All it took was 177 seconds of awesome
#7 - Because Vulcan is the language of love
#6 - because Uhura is the canvas on which Spock can paint all his emotions
#5 - because their kiss almost melted the transporter pad.
#4 - because Nichelle Nicholls approves
#3 - Because Leonard Nimoy approves
#2 - Because she's monitoring his frequencies.
#1 - Spock/Uhuru

I completely agree. It's nice to recognize both pairs of actors.

oh, that would be lovely.

I'm no artist, but I seen this:


and thought, oh, it could be cropped



And then the caption would be something about Spock whispering sweet nothings to Uhura.

just saw these quotes at tumblr

"Frankly, I was extremely jealous of his scenes with Zoe Saldana and I think it’s totally unfair that I never got to do that. I will never forgive the writers and the director, for having put me in this position, to have to be watching that, rather than participating"
— Leonard Nimoy

while I was reading that I imagined a big pout on his face that's so cute

"You know, I’ll tell you. I was bemused by it when I read it in the script. I was amazed by it when I saw it on screen. I thought it was incredible. It works brilliantly." — Leonard Nimoy

so..he approves
you could add these quotes to the intro post

nice (and yet not)

ETA: about LN's first quote up there, I picture it more as him sneaking around the set during the kiss scenes

I think this would fit nicely in the OP. Maybe right after the twitter screencap?
