'Lost in Translation' has to be the ep I've enjoyed the most this season tbh

I love the implication that Kirk got sucker punched by Uhura and just went 'Yes, I will respect and worship her for the rest of our natural lives' cause that's just a valid reaction. It's relatable, uhura could punch me and I would thank her.

I love that the ep demonstrates her empathy, love for others and the connections she feels that makes her so good at her job. I love that it showcased her grief, her dealing with losing others and the questions that arises in a person. It was right, only she could've understood it was a message, only she could've related to the aliens. CRG absolutely kills it this episode, I'm loving her version of Uhura. Unlike some others, I can genuinely see her becoming her tos character because the blocks are there and they're done well in this ep.

Also, Spock and Kirk finally met, uhura facilitated that and they all clearly get along and it made sense and I can only applaude the ep that does that

In snw uhura is meant to be the ugly girl men don't want. This is why they did not even bother to cast an actress that looked like nichelle Nichols. Uhura in snw is a mammy. it's insulting the show did this to such an iconic character.

While deciding to explore Uhura's brilliance and empathy instead of just making her the object of a romantic affair might have been their intention, so they kinda saved her from the trainwreck that was La'an storyline with Kirk, however, a) considering (especially dark-skinned) Black women are rarely well-written romantic interests, which is already racist; and b) the way they chose to give her horrific trauma as backstory, was pretty fucking stupid of them. I think they didn't want to fall into the mammy stereotype, actually, so I feel like they overcorrected - and made her flawless and perfect and a genius in a way that makes her much less interesting because... she doesn't have room for flaws or growth?

I do disagree with the first part of your (otherwise rightful) complaint, though. There is no universe in which you can call Celia Rose ugly! She is objectively beautiful, and in interviews you can see how lovely she is, and excited to be a part of the show. We do see so few nerdy dark-skinned Black women in sci-fi spaces, especially with her features and natural hair. If you meant that she is 'ugly' to a specific subset of white cishet trekkie nerds, sure, but to call Celia ugly is just... she may not look like Nichelle Nichols, but that is just blatantly untrue, objectively???
