Talk:Nyota Uhura (alternate reality)
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
[edit] Rura Penthe
While the Klingon prison camp was indeed Rura Penthe, as established in a scene deleted from the movie, where in the movie did Uhura actually mention the name? The only thing I remember her referring it to was a "Klingon prison planet". Had she actually said Rura Penthe, I think I would have picked up on it. --From Andoria with Love 05:47, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- I am certain I remember her naming Rura Penthe whilst Kirk was under the bed.IndyK1ng 05:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Name Canon?
I am assuming the name "Nyota Uhura" is specifically mentioned in the film, since it was never used in the mainline reality? – Crimsondawn hears you... 16:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Spock addresses her by her first name just before he and Kirk beam over to the Narada.--PaxArcana 13:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Does he? I just saw it a second time and Kirk begins to ask if her first name is Nyota before Spock cuts him off and I don't recall hearing Spock call her Nyota. IndyK1ng 16:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I just got back from re-watching the film, and it SOUNDS like Spock calls her "Nera" (or some spelling thereof), not Nyota. ADF uses Nyota in his novelization, though.Capt Christopher Donovan 07:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, I've definitely confirmed he does say Nyota from the movie...kinda sounds like "knee-yo-ta" vs. "kni-yo-ta" and I've confirmed just now that Kirk even repeats the name - though that's harder to make out because spock interrupts him though kirk does finish saying it :) — Morder 07:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
--Aurora Dreaming 00:51, November 2, 2009 (UTC)I strongly agree with Captain Christopher Donovan's (original post: June 8, 2009) regarding the name Spock uttered during the 'goodbye' scene in the Transporter room. I, too, believe that I clearly heard Spock say 'Nera' or 'Neera' and it's been driving me crazy every time I read someone saying that he clearly called her 'Nyota.' I actually saw the film nine (9) times, and during eight (8) viewings, I listened very carefully during that scene. I even took a friend along and asked her to pay attention to what Spock says to Uhura in the Transporter scene. After we saw the film, I asked her if Spock had called Uhura and she said that it sounded more like 'Neera' (or Nera). I've thought about this and it seems to me that people may believe he said 'Nyota' because that's what they were expecting. I believe he may have used a Vulcan endearment, and that J.J. Abrams is going to continue the "What is your name!" teaser in the second film. I can't wait to get the DVD and put on the captions, because this is driving me to distraction! :)
- The writers have already stated that her name in the movie is "Nyota," and several of us have individually confirmed that Spock does, indeed, say "Nyota." --From Andoria with Love 01:14, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
