Because like the rest of the internet, Star Trek has eaten my brain

Took meggiekw and illama out to see Star Trek Saturday night.

They are not Trek fans.  They're not even Sci Fi fans (though after many years of friendship with me they can now name several Stargate SG-1 characters).  I made Meg read a Star Trek novel once (back in high school--Imzadi--and she's seen maybe one episode of TNG--by force on a Girl Scout trip).

I <3 Imzadi. Its one of THE best Star Trek books.

I totally ship Riker/Troi.

And I'm on viewing number 2. What the heck is that creature with Scotty? It cracks me up.

[amphetamine_47]

HELL YES. I read that thing until it fell apart!

I don't think there's anyone who watched Next Gen who didn't ship Riker/Troi. I mean...really! :D

Me too! I wanna watch it again!! Yeah, it's a creepy little thing...I was concerned when I read about Scotty's midget sidekick, but this makes much more sense :) It's Deep Roy...the same dude who was the Oompa Loompas in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

I know! Its one of my classic OTP from childhood. And Imzadi is just one of those books you pick up every so often and reread. I have it in the combine format for book 1 and 2-more easy to store.

He almost reminded me of a Ewok who might be living on Tatooine (has the hard shell to protect him from sandblasting, and besides who wears fur in a desert?).

[amphetamine_47]

Hells yes. I didn't like Imzadi II nearly as well, but I'll read pretty much anything Peter David writes ;)

LOL, an Ewok on Tatooine may be the best idea ever :) He's SO FASHIONABLE IN HIS FUR, YO! ;)

I'm buying the movie novelization tomorrow, cuz I'm just a tad obsessed :)

Look at me, crossing Star Trek with Star Wars. I'm sure somewhere the universe is collapsing on its own.

And don't feel bad, I preordered the novel last week on my Kindle, so I'm just waiting for it to download to my reader.

Hee, you are so fired. Out of the geek pool, that's you.

Also, a friend & I came to the startling realization that TUVOK MIGHT NOT EXIST in nu!Trek. Isn't that sad?!

Hee, I'm totally driving across town on my lunch break for it! /is giant dork

I'm such a bad fangirl that I almost hope that there will be a sequel that will clear up the whole timeline flubup. It will auto correct itself, right? Or will that mean we won't have to rewrite TNG someday. Because that would probably mean no Worf, and such.

And yes, all Fandoms kick me out.

oh that was me

[ausiewanab]

Ops LJ kicked me out and I'm too blind to notice.

Hee, I kind of like the idea of a whole new universe. They could KILL SOMEONE if they wanted, and aren't locked in to continuity now! I like it! ;)
