| 13. There was zero time for the characters to use their intellectual skills in this movie. |

I hope that we will see them allowed to think in the next movie. Uhura, given precious little to do in the first flick, is positioned well to lead all those testosterone-soaked men in situations that require some cerebral skill.
Wouldn't it be nice to see her and Spock team up intellectually, and gently guide the headstrong Kirk toward doing the right thing? I want Uhura to lead some, even if she is outranked. She's a damned officer, not a secretary.
