In the original series of Star Trek, Commander Spock and Lieutenant Uhura have relatively little contact. But there are hints that they might enjoy a more-than-purely-professional relationship.
In The Man Trap, Uhura is “just trying to start a conversation” with Spock when she asks him to tell her that she’s attractive and to describe the romantic moonlight on Vulcan.
