, from that very episode. During one of the many comicreal breaks over the course of the ten episodes shown I had gotten to see that as I had said at it's end of yesterday post someone else had went to their heavenly home of existence, and if you're in need of what series the one who did pass was a part of here is their station on a very famous spaceship.
Up above is her place on the bridge of the N.C.C. 1701 constitution class of the earth spaceship known as the Enterprise. So before I get to who it is that passed away yesterday I will give you a run down of the original series characters that have entered into the energizing bridge of heaven with a quote from the character famous related line of dialogue. Believe you me, I am going to make this part very both interesting and worth coming back for, for every actor from a certain television or movie that I have cherished. So the first line of dialogue that I am giving is "There comes a time when a man finds that he can't fall in love again....He knows that it's time to stop. I don't belong on your ship....I belong on this one. This was my home. This is where I had a purpose. " It is on the holo deck and is said to Jean Luc Picard. The person who says this is James Doohan as ????
Here is another quote by Doohan's character from his character in the voyage home the fourth movie of the original Star Trek movies "Admiral, there be whales here!" He went join his other cast member whom I will be talking about next, Doohan left earth on July 20, 2005. He was eighty five years of age. Now on to the first original series cast member that has passed, but first here's a few lines of his character dialogue "It seems Admiral, that I have all of his marbles." And of course when this very character portrayed by DeForest Kelley was an Admiral himself " I don't see no points on your ears, boy, but you sound like a Vulcan. " "No, sir. I am an android." " Almost as bad." From Star Trek TNG polit "Encounter at Farpoint."
Or his character's best line of the original series "I'm a Doctor not an...." DeForest Kelley left earth on June 11, 1999. He was seventy nine years of age. For those wondering who was more recent passing of this bridge officer that passed is without any doubt, of the original Star Trek series most famous character of all them was of course the character portrayed by Leonard need I say his last name? Well here's some of his character's dialogue that your may know of... "Well, we found a whole world of minds that work just like yours: logical, unemotional, completely pragmatic. And we poor irrational humans whipped them in a fair fight. Now you'll find yourself back among us illogical humans again." "Which I find eminently satisfactory, Doctor. For nowhere am I so desperately needed as among a shipload of illogical humans." Or going with his character's Next Gen appearance in "Unification" two parter that was made to honor the creator of all Star Trek Gene Roddenberry. Here's that very bit of dialogue "In your own way, you are as stubborn as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew. " Then I am in good company, sir."
Then of course there is Leonard's character most well noted bit of dialogue that even any non star trek fan does know "Live Long And Prosper." Of course who we are really talking about today is the Young lady who sat behind Kirk on the bridge at the communications station, called Uhura portrayed by Nichelle Nicholas. Whose character according to Gene Roddenberry her name means freedom. Before she was cast as Uhura on Star Trek she was a singer and dancer in her very early twenties and was touring with bands lead by Duke Ellenton and Lionel Hamilton. She caught the eye of Huge Hefner when she was playing a fictional character based off of lose adaption of his famous magazine, while living in Chicago. Two years before Star Trek was ever thought about by Gene Roddenberry she starred in his police drama television show called "The Lieutenant" in the episode titled "To Set It Right" which had dealt with racial prejudice. That very same episode starred Don Marshall who would later play in Star Trek's first season episode "The Galileo Seven". Her character in "To Set It Right"
was named Norma Bartlett. Nichelle's character of Uhura first appeared in the episode titled "The Corbomite Maneuver" it was also the only time her character's uniform was command yellow like Kirk's usually is through out the series.
Expect for when he wore his alternate green tunic one from time to time as well. Her normal one after Uhura's first episode was mainly Red for the remainder of the series. Nichelle throughout the course of the first season of Star Trek had very strong improvement of something that she was very unaware of?, what was that your are thinking of that she did that she didn't know of or as I phrased it as unawareness of... 
the man seen here with Nichelle. When these two met Martin Luther King Jr had told Nichelle of how her most recent work experience was the best way of showing that all people are capable of making is a solid foundation of both people of African-American decent and of other races being absolutely capable of making their dreams a reality. In fact here is a picture of their
conversation with Nichelle as Uhura. After also voicing her concerns to Gene Roddenberry as well and hearing that he made up his fictional space crew of people of all diversities, because he was wanting to show the whole planet earth that everyone can really reach their greatest potential, no matter what! Seeing that both men saw things as understanding common people, She stayed on as Uhura from the next two seasons of the series. Nichelle got to have William Shanter share the very first interracial kiss
in the third season episode titled "Plato's Stepchildren" *( more about this when I review STAR TREK the television series itself). Star Trek itself, was canceled on June third, nineteen sixty nine. However anyone who is a Star Trek loyalists of the series knows that there was something called syndication. Which allowed any network in anywhere to play and replay the series over time and again and that of course had new fans grow out of it wanting more... Roddenberry was paying very close attention to that and he and his actors, and screenwriters put together after seeing the First STAR WARS film in nineteen seventy seven were hard at work on a new forum of Star Trek one way or another. They started out by trying to make another television series, but that overall plan would payoff in a whole multitude of new ways... in the meantime the animation company of Filmation came to Roddenberry and offered him a cartoon series as long as all of the actual actors were willing to voice their characters and all but Leonard Nimoy were willing to do it at first. In fact here is the animated cel of Uhura
with Nichelle as Uhura, the animated series put the owners of Star Trek franchise ready for Star Trek the motion picture. Even when Nichelle wasn't working on fictional space in the nineteen seventies she was busy helping the ongoing real life space exploration known as NASA. The re-release of the animation series after the motion picture was released increased even more new fans to the fantastic space operatic saga known as Trek. What then followed were five more feature films and in late nineteen eighty seven a new version of Trek was forever forged into place. I almost forgot to mention that Nichelle was born Grace Dell Nicholas in Robbins, Illinois in nineteen thirty two. And has been one the best communications of keeping not only Star Trek going for close to fifty six years... She found time to have a family as well. Is there something that I am of course forgetting over this long goodbye to a great woman who died at eighty nine of heart failure in Silver city, New Mexico just two days ago on July thirty, twenty, twenty two. Well yes there's the reason I have been writing in RED most of this summer don't worry all will be explained later tonight in another post for August first? Yes your getting two for the price of one today!
