can't see shit, captain
based on what i can grasp from fanish stuff, the TOS triad of spock/kirk/mccoy was based on spock being the voice of logic and mccoy being the conscience. kirk was the decision maker, the one who reached common ground.
right. i've seen theories about uhura replacing mccoy in the triad in reboot. i have no investment in mccoy, so i'm more concerned about how this would work, logically.
- uhura is not kirk's friend, so she has little sway over the decision maker rn. not to mention that he's now officially her superior, so going against him with that power imbalance and no personal relationship would be tricky, risking on coming off like insubordination. (i didn't get any anvils about a kirk/uhura friendship developing from XI, so idk.)
- there would probs be no srs emotion/logic conflict because spock and uhura's relationship seemed heavily based on understanding and shit.
i can totally see them giving uhura a more prominent role in the next few films because she is and will likely remain the sole lady in a dick-infested dance floor.
but i don't see how this triad format would work.
