Star Trek_Kirk & Uhura kiss

[interstate84man]

i wish it were me instead of kirk with Uhura !she is so gorgeous!

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

Didn't Dinah Shore and Harry Belafonte kiss on TV a decade earlier??? I think the "first interracial kiss" claim is bogus but makes for great p/r.

[Chacha5678]

gag me. spock/uhura 4evs

[ackibeau]

Apparently, Spock and Uhura were supposed to kiss, but Shatner was so selfish, he decided that he should get the first interracial kiss on TV.

[harrysmallenburg]

The first interracial kiss is only under duress. What's the problem here. Even Startrek couldn't let it be a full-fledged act of love.

[DataTasha4Ever]

@harrysmallenburg I'd love it to have been otherwise, but do you honestly think an un-coerced interracial kiss on TV would have flown in 1960-whatever?

[zaphodlucs]

spock mais travado que um Pentium III rodando crysis

[scadams13]

Wouldn't the kiss between Spock and Chapel be the first inter-racial kiss?He is of mixed races,not fully one and their scene came first on the show.

[TXejas19]

what is with that akward kiss?

[bigfilmhat]

Uhura's not a bad looking chick.

[interstate84man]

@bigfilmhat i agree with you there!

[riggamourtusfriend]

too bad shatners ego got in the way, but i still luv him though

[riggamourtusfriend]

this episode is so wrong for so many reasons and the only good thing that came out of it is that it made history. but it should have been spock and uhura, But they were never a thing, it was always kirk/spock if u know what i mean!

[MaxMisterC]

@riggamourtusfriend Well, at least in the more recent movie version of Star trek, FINALLY, Spock gets the (black) girl!!!

[HConstantine]

No one who had read the corpus of Plato, who had the image of Socartes in their minds, could possibly act like this.

[mjjcng8958]

damn they could have made it like they wanted to. spock is killing that lady's face

[TheVintageFiend]

You know...I think Uhura is hiding her and Spock's love child in her hair.

[tryithere]

At the beginning, Ulhura almost had a Spock in her mouth.

[slothyslothsloth]

Wow. Uhura's hair is so pretty in this video.

[interstate84man]

@slothyslothsloth yes i agree with you there about her hAIRSTYLE!

[AMC2283]

the platonians get my vote for biggest pieces of sh!t in the star trek universe--the most contemptable worthless pieces of scum i've ever seen

[thom19671]

Kirk,you lucky dog!!!!!!

[mefzilla]

back then, it wasn't racist... it was progressive.

[amberjane9]

This part makes my heart hurt for 2 reasons. 1: watching Spock kiss someone is kind of like Spock porn. 2: Chapel is so devastatingly sad in this scene, I just want to hug her!!

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

That's way more of William Shatner's thighs than I ever wanted or needed to see.

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

I think the fact that they are resisting, and only kissing because they are forced, makes the interracial kiss appear more of a punishment that something real, which is more racest (in my opinion) than no kiss at all

[Teekoness]

@ReadMyCommentBitch Good point and while I tend to agree, it should be noted that it was not interpreted as such at the time. In fact the overwhelming response was positive.

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

@Teekoness true, but if a tv director did this today and made a big deal about it he would be called racist

[Teekoness]

@ReadMyCommentBitch I guess it depends whether we think this is still progress in the right direction or not. Whether the massive step of seeing an inter-racial kiss was worth the questionable context.

[longfootbuddy]

that was a pitiful kiss

[shazam15]

" I havn't the power.... I'm deeply sorry."

Audience: HAHAHAHAHA

XD priceless.

[sallyragdoll13]

NO!! Spock is mine!

[IdiosyncraticCat]

I actually ship Kirk/Uhura, more than Spock/Uhura. Its just a shame this kiss was forced; it could have been intense.

[charliebabie2]

W.T.F?

[SablesOwner]

The aliens were forcing them to kiss people they DIDN'T want to kiss. That's why Spock & Uhura didn't to getkiss -- they would've done it gladly!

[vjm3]

It should have been more passionate. Like, just on the border of tongue but overflowing with moistened lips-passionate.

Also, less evil starey eyes all creepy.

Lol, aliens can't fight infections lol.

[coolvidzman]

Once you go black....

[samo314159]

First interracial kiss on television and not even any tongue...I guess that's what you get when you rely on telekinetic aliens.

[jan0doeyes]

@Clokelover. why do u think he made that decision?

[islezeus]

THAT was a kiss? Kirk didn't even lock lips, barely touched Uhuru's mouth. Star Treck the movie is so much better

[omwfcynni]

May I remind you that back in 1969, interracial contacts (like kissing) was very much NOT DONE! Now, we live in a different world... Luckily! But that was something very much WOW back in the 60's...

[StrummerLivesxxx]

HA! Your just a silly twat then.

[islezeus]

@StrummerLivesxxx And you need to hone in your grammar and spelling skills.

[StrummerLivesxxx]

Umm...excuse me, but how do I need to "hone" in on my spelling skills? I haven't spelt anything wrong, unlike you - "treck". I think you need to "hone" in on getting your facts right.

[islezeus]

@StrummerLivesxxx Learn the difference between "your" and "you're" bitch

[StrummerLivesxxx]

@islezeus LOL! No, I already know the difference. Like I said, I haven't spelt anything or done anything grammatically incorrect...you're=you are...

And IF I did make that mistake then so what, its not an english lesson! Haha, I think you should leave it now, you're being owned! :)

[phantomtrekkie9]

I feel so bad for all of them. You know they like each other like friends, but this is just awful. They toy with Nurse Chapel's emotions, and poor Spock's who already had an emotional breakdown that day, and then making Uhura do that to her superior officer.

Just, awful.

[LestatDeBratPrince]

aw poor spock he really doesn't want nurse chapel. Sheez talk about being humiliated....O.O"

[omyda365]

this is such poppycock, i wanted a spock and Uhura kiss, dammit!

[Mitsukuni789]

I know! GOD DAMMIT!!!

[Clockelover]

The kiss was suppose to have been between Spok and Uhura, but Shanter said that he wanted the scene to be Kirk and Uhura.. So Kirk stole Spock woman

[StrummerLivesxxx]

As if Kirk doesn't have enough lol!

[CrazyGood88]

@Clockelover JUMP HIM!!! HE TOOK SPOCK'S WOMAN!!!!

[Voileen]

@omyda365

it was set up that way originally, but Shatner went all cock block about it and said, "If history is going to be made with an interracial kiss it's going to be with me, damn it." or something like that. I just read about it in Nichelle Nichols autobiography.

[shazam15]

@Voileen

Really. I heard from Leonard Nimoy that Shatner bitched about it for days and they pracatically had to force him. and that he (nimoy) volunteered to switch with him, but they had already decided it would be more powerful between uhura's character and kirk. Maybe Nichols was just playing nice by saying that.

[Bookeater42]

@shazam15 was shatner racist or a better reason?

[shazam15]

@Bookeater42 I dunnno. probably. It was the time though, so he has an excuse.

[reesesncreme]

@shazam15 i9 read in either leonard's or nichelle's autobiography, that shatner tricked the producers when they were against it by making bad take after bad take until time was almost up then he did it and they had no choice but to use it.

[shazam15]

@reesesncreme

Oh Shatner. * sigh*

[symmylynn]

@omyda365 i read somewhere that the directors of the series meant for Spock and Uhura to kiss and be close but Shatners ego got in the way and said the audience wasnt ready for a half alien and black woman couple. Such poppycock :/

[ha2152]

@omyda365 we saw that in the 2009 star trek movie, just different actors...

[LuvTheEars2232]

@omyda365, So did Leonard Nimoy...

[LuvTheEars2232]

@omyda365 

[Brandybuck56]

nichols is a good actress when she actually gets lines

[whistlestopX]

Poor Spock is shaking like a leaf! He reeeally doesn't want to kiss Nurse Chapel. XD

[queenbmia]

wtf!!! I like the new generation (ST) kisses....LOL!!! I think WS had his mouth wide open. That was pretty wicked though...LOL!!!

[omwfcynni]

That was in 1969... Times were different then... A whole lot different...

[camixoxo]

spock looks terrified

[ARandomAveragePerson]

shit spock is shaking...lol poor guy!

[SilasCilice]

Spock really looks like he doesn't want to kiss Chapel, hahaha!

Check out the Shat's arms yo! Either that's fat or it's a layer of fat over muscle. Whatever it is, he had some nice arms.

[omar168]

If I had a woman like Uhuru in my arms I would not resist kissing her. She's hot.

[BlueMoonz55]

Oh shit- if you look Chapel straight up shove Uhura out of spocks reach LMFAO!! Watch it at the 0:03 to 0:12

[bunnywailer14]

Such sexual tension!

[BlueMoonz55]

BARBARA BULLOCK!

[BlueMoonz55]

no really Barbara B. from Dr. quinn mw!!!!!!! Teeheeeheeeee. She doesn't age much- =D

[GumdropsKid]

I thought it was funny, the way Kirk and Spock kept running/stumbling back and forth as if they couldn't decide who to kiss. XD

[BlueMoonz55]

Poor spock- He probably didn't want Chapel XD JK JK- he probably wanted Kirk - NO JK JK! he wanted Uhura

[wickedfeylady]

Not that this is all that relevant, but Kirk's outfit is really stupid.

[SakuraSymphony]

the man at 1:50 , the look on his face is HILARIOUS!!

[yeshua4givs]

LOL!!! ur right!!

[dartharwen]

so AWKWARD! but, you know, barrier-breaking and all that.

[NaaAdjoa]

the woman Spock kisses looks like a man.

[Ceridwyth]

Aw, poor Nurse Chapel. She has strong features, but I don't think she looks manly...

[Sherrieturtle]

Star Trek is the shizznit! It's because of Star Trek some of our inventions are here today. Uhura's ear piece was the inspiration for the handless ear piece. Of course Star Trek was forward thinking. Spock and Kirk were so hot it's strange to see them kiss awkwardly.

[soundsfromnothing]

Geez! Just kiss her already!

[Welshman2008]

i read there was a lot of fuss over this in the states when it happened

[gregorija1]

The episode title is "Plato's Stepchildren". :-)

[fuchaimps]

i've been told this was the first inter race kiss on american t.v, suppose it shouldn't have suprised me star trek would be forward thinking :)
