Sally Phillips and Jim Howick read David Nicholls' novel, following two isolated and lonely people who are thrown together by the endeavours of a mutual friend who believes they both need to 'get out more.'

#1.572 – Sallie Nichols – Jung e o Tarô – Uma Jornada Arquetípica (2007).

Muitas pessoas ignoram, ou tentam, o fato de que Carl Jung provavelmente foi o estudioso da Psique humana com uma das mais relevantes produções e um dos mais esplêndidos insights sobre o nosso inconsciente que já existiu. Discípulo de Sigmund Freud, sua contribuição para a construção de uma visão diferenciada sobre nosso inconsciente não nega, mas complementa a teoria das pulsões freudiana com a…

""My name is Sam. I am eleven years old. I collect stories and fantastic facts. By the time you read this, I will probably be dead."

Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukaemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer."

Nichelle Nichols’s impact can not be overstated.

She was the first black woman to go to space on tv (and her impact on representation on TV should also not be understated) but she also campaigned for NASA applications of diverse voices. Her campaign led to the recruitment of Sally Ride (first American woman in space), col. Guion Bluford (first black astronaut in NASA), and Mae Jeminson (first black woman in space).

Without her personal recruitment campaign (which she threatened to sue NASA if she put her reputation on the line to bring in these applications if they then did not go on to hire any of them) who knows how much longer it would have taken to get anyone other than a white man as a NASA astronaut.

We just lost a queen.

Thank you so much for guiding generations of nerds through space, the final frontier, Nichelle Nichols. Your work to bring diversity to NASA can’t be forgotten. May your legacy shine bright like a supernova, and may you rest peacefully among the stars.

A COMPREHENSIVE & AUTHENTIC UHURA LOVE/HISTORY POST

The above is where Roddenberry 1st employed Nichelle Nichols [click to watch the full clip]. It was a military show based on Roddenberry's own experiences, the episode is called To Set it Right (I highly suggest reading the wiki article about it).

You should note two other actors, whom he later pegged for Star Trek are in the episode.

They dated briefly and then became good friends way before Trek came about.

Miss Nichols was already an accomplished singer and dancer who performed regularly w/ Billy Eckstine and Duke Ellington

Roddenberry's 1st show, The Lieutenant, was canceled/pulled from the air before these scenes bluntly dealing with racism could air (there's blackface as punishment for the racists at the end of the show, in a case of 'he 'a little confused but got the spirit' for the times, so tw)

He created Star Trek to try to soften the blow of all the social messaging he wanted to insert from his military experience. Star Trek was basically, a submarine drama placed in a sci-fi setting. He made it diverse on purpose because the military helped him travel and serve with all kinds of people. Roddenberry was inspired by that.

Uhura was the first person to read for Spock and in fact, helped to shape the character with her reading and based many of the traits of Uhura (formerly Uhuru) on Spock.

She was basically a glorified secretary. She played the part with poise, joy, and the 60's style womanism she got to play out for those times... Everything from her mini-skirt (which Nichelle herself called very comfortable) to her smile, and teasing lines, and quips were about her playing "big" in a small role. She made every moment, every look, every line, and movement count:

Roddenberry cracked jokes about the fact that the network never figured out that Uhura was fourth in command.

Nichelle was the only main cast member who was not salaried. She was paid by the hour. This attempt at marginalization actually resulted in her being the highest paid at times, because of the long hours.

Nichelle was not let in the front entrance at times, her fan-mail was kept from her, and she grew frustrated with the constant cutting of her scenes, lines and storylines. This is why she justifiably attempted to leave. The bigots in production did not like her being there (and if we're being real, were it not for Janice Rand's actress Grace Lee Whitney having gone through so much and thus losing her job in the 1st season...Uhura might have had even LESS presence)

The lost context in MLK convincing her to stay was that YES she was minimized and could make more money and be more fulfilled on broadway, but her symbolism and presence meant so much at a time when Black women weren't on TV unless as a racist caricature cleaning a house, and even that was rare...that she stayed.

One of her best allies was DeForest Kelly, who threatened to quit if they fired Nichelle. George Takei was her absolute best friend on the show and in life (she served as his Best Woman at his wedding).

There was an unfilmed episode in which Uhura and Deforest would have played reverse roles in "racial dynamics" on a planet they visit

Spock and Uhura were originally supposed to kiss in the alien mind control episode, but Shatner demanded to do so for the publiicity.

Her work to recruit marginalized people as astronauts, as in personally going to colleges and talking to candidates after the show is a staggering achievement that arguably is the most potent of any castmember in any of the Trek series post-show. Sally Ride, Guy Bluford (she personally recruited the 1st woman and 1st black astronaut), Mae Jemison (the 1st black woman credits her for inspiring her to become an astronaut).

Uhura did finally command the ship in the animated series. She would not have gotten to voice the role, but for Leonard Nimoy making it an obligation that all the original actors voice their parts for him to come on.

Scotty and Uhura in the film was definitely a pair the spares situation, in which both were the leftover senior citizens with the writers just going "why not?"

it was beyond insulting and she did protest about the scene where she's bumbling through a giant translation book to speak to klingons for laughs in trek 5 ...but her best moment IMO is her pulling a gun on the young ensign in the transporter room in Trek 3...sadly her ONLY scene in the damn movie.

Miss Saldana got to play to MANY corrections in JJ Abrams rebooted Trek, from being amazing at languages to having an actual life & love, to confidently turning down Kirk at every turn.

FUN FACT!! Both JJ and Bob Orci both expressed disappointed shock that the love story between Spock & Uhura got more hatred from fans than BLOWING UP PLANET VULCAN.

another FUN FACT!! The love story between Spock & Uhura is what grabbed the old school Star Wars fan (JJ Abrams) enough to come aboard to direct. Yep. JJ ships Spock & Uhura.

Zoe's iteration became the 1st version of Uhura to speak confidently in Klingon

Celia Rose Gooding becoming Uhura brings around a lot of Uhura's qualities full circle, IMO. As she is also from theatre (like Nichelle) and has a beautiful singing voice as well as the charm. Zoe's iteration was sharper, and much more protective, professional, & mature, about her life and love.

Celia Rose has the youthful curiousity and stars in her eyes and had vulnerability from her first intro... I loved the eagerness the crew showed to being in her orbit, seeing the glow of her talent and being drawn to that, to have a part in nurturing that.

As I've said... Celia IMO has the most dazzling smile, giant warm brown eyes, fantastic curves, and an energy that feels essentially Uhura, & that is all light, joy, a bit of uncertainty, -from the light singing (!) and the growth to her joy in discovery... I'd love to see her writing move away from serving and be more about her wants needs and growing in friendships/loves.

But Celia is a gift and is perfectly cast.

Essentially Uhura = femininity, graceful carriage, gorgeous smile, excellence in engineering and translation (canon!), ability to sing and play the Vulcan lyre, sharp womanist wit, love for her U.S. of African-Kenyan culture and being beloved by all crew...

When Miss Celia hummed those gorgeous notes to the alien entity on that comet?? That Solidified that she IS Uhura IMO.

I 100% think they fucked up by killing Hemmer, because that mentor-mentee relationship was giving marginalized coming together and bonding over everybody else's bullshit and I was here for it...it was giving me Data and Geordi updated...and since then, IMO they've lost track and given us the same kinda backwards wingwoman role BS, that people who like to pretend to be her fan shoehorn her into.

...but I have high hopes that they'll course-correct.

All this to say ALL OF THE ABOVE is Uhura and anyone calling her ugly, bossy, pushy, annoying, whatever is just sad little hater who doesn't know wtf they are talking about.

"Bạn phải nhớ những người đã ôm chặt bạn trong bóng tối, những người làm cho bạn cười, những người trò chuyện với bạn suốt đêm. Những người đã lặn lội đường xa đến thăm bạn, những người đã khóc cùng bạn, và những người bên bạn lúc bệnh tật. Những người quan trọng, những người đưa bạn đi đây đi đó, những người nói nhớ bạn. Chính những người này đã tạo nên từng chút ấm áp trong cuộc sống của bạn, chính sự ấm áp này giúp bạn xua tan bóng tối, và chính sự ấm áp này đã khiến bạn trở thành một người lương thiện" (“1Q84”, Haruki Murakami)

"Mất ai đó ta yêu thương là điều thật kinh khủng, nhưng điều tệ nhất là chưa bao giờ gặp được một ai như thế” (“Ngày Đầu Tiên”, Marc Levy)

“Và khi cơn bão qua đi, bạn sẽ không nhớ bạn đã vượt qua như thế nào, bạn xoay xở để tồn tại được ra sao. Bạn thậm chí sẽ không dám chắc, thật ra, liệu cơn bão có thật sự đi qua. Nhưng có một điều chắc chắn. Là khi bạn ra khỏi cơn bão, bạn sẽ không còn là cùng một người mà đã bước vào. Đó là những gì về cơn bão” (“Kafka bên bờ biển”, Haruki Murakami)

“Cái chết chỉ là trở về cái chốn bạn từng ở trước khi sinh ra, và chẳng có ai sợ cái chốn trước khi mình sinh ra. Những cái cũ chết đi và những cái mới được sinh ra. Sao cũ hóa thành sao mới. Lá chết hóa thành cây con. Có lẽ đó là cái đang chết đi, hoặc có lẽ đó là cái đang sinh ra. Tất cả tùy thuộc vào cách nhìn của bạn” (“Muốn sống”, Sally Nicholls)

“Có nhiều người cho rằng chỉ cần bỏ đi, tới một miền đất khác sống thì đời họ sẽ khác. Nhưng cách đó không phải lúc nào cũng hiệu quả. Bởi dù ở đâu chăng nữa, bạn vẫn sẽ mang theo chính mình” (“Câu chuyện nghĩa địa”, Neil Gaiman)
