I felt like she kind of just operated as something of a romantic object in this movie? Yes, EXACTLY, and I think part of the reason I dislike/resent Spock/Uhura (aside from the part where THEY WERE BORING TOGETHER) is because ~having a relationship with Spock~ was... basically what Uhura got to do in the film. LAME. I don't know if they have one in the works already, but it does seem like there will be more. I am not going to pass too much feminist judgment on them until I see that one -- they had a lot to establish here, etc. And if I trust JJ with anything, it is the ladies.
I HAVE NOT, but I probably would never have gotten around to it anyway, so no worries! That does sound obnoxious -- WHY ARE FICTIONAL LADIES ALWAYS OVERCONCERNED WITH THE TICKING OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL CLOCKS? I am so sick of that trope -- you are so right, it is unfair to both genders.
