J.J. Abrams was faced with a seemingly insurmountable task when he agreed to helm Star Trek, a reboot of the original series that recast all the beloved characters. Given how attached fans had grown to the actors from the original series, Star Trek had to make the case for why showing these characters’ origin stories was worthwhile. Star Trek was able to deepen some of the interpersonal relationships that were left ambiguous on the original show, with Zachary Quinto’s Spock getting more time to explore his mixed heritage. Among the most surprising additions was a romance between Spock and Lieutenant Uhura (Zoe Saldaña), whose first name was revealed after years of speculation by fans.
