Is Star Trek truly in trouble and what does this mean for S/U?

[1trex1]

I just got off trekmovie and they have an article about How Star Trek is broken and how it needs to be fixed. Does anyone here even agree that star trek is broken after STiD? Here is the link

however did we really need top see uhura screaming at spock on a way to a serious mission?

While I understand that the argument between s/u was not the best timing, I think its a bit unfair to categorize her as screaming at Spock as if she were some angry child who was having a tantrum. Both Kirk and Spock also participated in the discussion and at no time did Kirk, who is captain, reprimand or order anyone to end the conversation, which he had the authority to do. In fact, he even supported Uhura in her claims.

I just feel there is so much gender bias in thoughts like this, because none of the men ever get called out for inappropriate or "whiny" "needy" or "nagging" behavior. Furthermore, I feel that there is an unfair mentality in society where women cannot express their anger or frustrations about situations the way men can. Because I have even seen Uhura called a bitch, and uppity for taking Kirk to task for his bad behavior in the first film, and many of the people who made those statements said she was much better behaved and polite in STID, because she was no longer a bitch to Kirk and gave him the respect he deserves. Which sounds an awful lot like that uppity woman has no right expressing anger or frustration towards a man. So with her argument with Spock, I feel like here is a situation where she has valid concerns for Spock, concerns she tried to voice in private and he would not listen. So now they are in a dangerous situation again and she has no idea where Spock's head is at and she spoke up. But so many call her nagging or yelling or unprofessional when thats not how she was at all. And if she had been a man, even if some felt the timing was bad, no one, not fans or critics, would have called a male character nagging or screaming or whiny or any of the other comments I have seen thrown at Uhura for that one scene where she let her emotions get the best of her. And compared to how many times the men in the film let there emotions get the best of them and acted out of line, Uhura pretty much looks like a professional saint
