   Don't get me wrong about Spock/Uhura.   
      
   1)  Uhura is lovely and 100% deserving   
   2)  Spock and Uhura were shown in classic TOS to be fond of one another.   
   3)  If Spock/Uhura had already been established in TOS, or in the    
   TOS-crew movies, I would be OK with it.   
      
   BUT!   
      
   1)  Neither Spock, nor Uhura were ever depicted as the type to be openly    
   affectionate with anybody, ever!   
      
   2)  Uhura's dream man is a handsome black man of her own species.    
   [Refer:  Mantrap]   
      
   3)  Spock rejected Uhura [Mantrap], rejected Chapel [Naked Time, Amok    
   Time], and generally isn't interested in women at all.  The times when    
   he actually showed interest in a woman, he was drugged, or in some other    
   way clearly not himself.

   GET THIS!  In Naked Time, when he clearly wasn't himself, he STILL was    
   of a mind to reject Chapel when she threw herself at him sideways.  The    
   only person he really wanted to be alone with at that time was Kirk.
