Why is Nyota Uhura always so perfect?
** Perfection **
** Perfection **
** Perfection **
tos episode where kirk, mccoy, spock, and scotty are all sent to a conference so sulu, chekov, and uhura have to basically run the ship.
and starfleet tells them they need to get some medicine or something to a planet. and there’s not time to recall the crew or even tell the captain, so they head out without them. but it should be fine! it’s only a delivery mission.
but EVERYTHING goes wrong. they get attacked by an alien, there’s an alien virus on board, the medicine spills everywhere, the engines are going bonkers, the crew is panicking.
thoughout the episode, there’s shots interspersed of scotty ranting about the enterprise engines, mccoy arguing with some doctors, kirk tapping his foot and trying to pay attention to whatever boring admiral panel he’s forced to listen to, spock almost enjoying himself talking to other scientists, etc.
but anyway uhura, chekov, and sulu do end up solving every problem (with the help of m’benga and chapel finding a treatment for the alien virus AND re-making all the medicine that spilled) AND getting to the rendezvous on time.
they beam the crew onboard and back on the bridge, kirk asks everyone if anything interesting happens. everyone replies in the negative and make comments about how boring it was. kirk goes to sit in the captains chair and it breaks and he falls onto the ground and yells “WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CHAIR”
