00:00:00.272 --> 00:00:02.855
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:07.230
- I think finding Uhura's confidence

3
00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:12.150
for season two has been
such a fun, labyrinth,

4
00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:16.140
because I like to think of
especially reprising characters.

5
00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:17.190
The character development

6
00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:20.730
of a reprise character is
not checkers, it's chess.

7
00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:25.470
You gotta be very strategic
in how you let audiences know

8
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:28.260
what certain moments in
their life are moments

9
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:29.730
that grow them into the people

10
00:00:29.730 --> 00:00:33.150
who we can recognize later in life.

11
00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:37.500
And so, I think her confidence
is little fleckers of it yet,

12
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:41.640
I'm by no means even halfway
to where I wanna get yet.

13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.180
And so, little fleckers of
her just taking up more space,

14
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.490
standing up for herself,

15
00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:49.710
really confiding in her crew mates.

16
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:52.170
I think, more and more we're
just seeing her get more

17
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:54.870
and more comfortable, and it's
really gratifying to play.

18
00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:58.080
But I really hope it's really
satisfying for fans to see

19
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.180
because I know that a
lot of what I'm doing

20
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:03.630
with this character is very
specific to the timeline

21
00:01:03.630 --> 00:01:07.620
we're in now and less thinking backwards

22
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:12.330
in earth time and forwards
in the "Star Trek" timeline.

23
00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:14.760
So yeah, it's a bit by bit thing.

24
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.580
I'm not getting ahead of myself.

25
00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:20.550
I'm really trying to practice restraint

26
00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:22.830
in giving all of her at once,

27
00:01:22.830 --> 00:01:25.830
'cause then I feel like we're
just playing the same person.

28
00:01:25.830 --> 00:01:27.990
I like the differences, and
I'm really gonna play them.

29
00:01:27.990 --> 00:01:29.740
- I would like the ship to go, now.

30
00:01:32.637 --> 00:01:35.220
(gentle music)
