It often irked me that Uhura was never left in command when Kirk and Spock weren't on the bridge. I'd hoped the reboot would fix this, but IIRC, Kirk gives command to 17-year-old Ensign Chekov rather than Lieutenant Uhura!
(Mind you, I sometimes think the reboot's Kirk was meant to represent George W. Bush - an overgrown juvenile delinquent with no military experience, who was given command by his father's cronies because the old man had briefly held the job.)
