Captain James T. Kirk and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura met the same way in two different Star Trek universes. Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) voyage through the stars together for decades in Star Trek: The Original Series and the first six Star Trek movies. J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (2009) depicted how James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) met in the alternate Kelvin timeline.
