Well, crud.
I searched before posting...but only for “Uhura” in the title.

Sometimes I’ll still watch the original Star Trek episodes. Better than the others, IMO.

Dr McCoy is gone
Scotty is gone
Spock is gone
Yeoman Janice Rand is gone
Nurse Chapel/Laxanna Troi is gone
And Now Uhura.
It does put a damper on your day watching those who brought joy into your childhood just disappear one by one.
