Star Trek (TV) - Uhura Wasn't Supposed To Kill Kirk

The Calgary Herald quotes Nichelle Nichols as saying:

"Bill Shatner saw what was going on and he said, 'Woah, woah, woah. If anybody is gonna get to kiss Lieutenant Uhura it's gonna be me.' And he had the whole thing changed so the first interracial kiss was with Lieutenant Uhura and Captain Kirk."

"Bill wanted to rehearse all the time. He said he wanted to get this right! I said to him, "It's right, it's right. I promise you, it's right." And the camera was shaking and the director was laughing his head off. We really had a good time."

 How fitting given how Uhura, in the rebooted Trek universe, and Spock are in a relationship from the start.
