Zoe Saldana, we get it. You're a lady in a man's world. You like to be in sci-fi movies and play characters whose strong beliefs are misunderstood by outsiders (Uhura's lady-ness, Neytiri's nature love, that chick in Crossroads but we don't remember what her deal was). But the whole touchy attitude thing? Annoying.
We will do our best not to go off on a rant about how absolutely pointless the Spock-Uhura Travesty is. We see no point to their Enterprise canoodling, and we think it needs to stop. But seriously, Zoe. Why the 'tude? Uhura is a cool lady! She's easygoing and likes to sing hilarious and irrelevant songs. But she's not all up in everybody's business, trying to undermine the captain of the freakin' Enterprise. We guess your Uhura is a product of this whole alternate-reality thing in the new ST series, but does she really have to be so touchy and cynical? Don't you watch Late Night With Conan O'Brien? (R.I.P.) Cynical people are unpleasant and off-putting. We kind of want to punch your Uhura in the face, and to be honest, we think the love affair with Spock undermines your efforts at making Uhura a strong woman. It kind of looks like she's sleeping her way to the top.
What we're saying is, you should tell the writers to scrap that storyline.
Neytiri is a more understandable case. There she is, minding her own business, chillin' with her dragon in the Home Tree, when that stupid jerk of a Jake Sully comes along and tries to say he's better than her. And then she finds out he lied to her and is secretly working for the U.S. army (because that plot has never been done before or anything). Of course she's upset! But again, your character is all touchy and upset because she is misunderstood and also better than everybody else. Chillax! We know you're talented, but seriously. Lose the cynicism. It makes us sad.
