I spam you with links and scifi ignorance
What I do when I should be sleeping: youtube.
Simon Says...Ditch your friends!
I just find it a little bit odd that they keep saying it was a good idea to leave your friend, you are now liberated! They didn't seem to think she was that bad, at first. And I found Amanda's "Now the British public will be your friend!" comment very evil. I disapprove of all this famewhoring.
Talented children are the way to go. 8D From last year:
SINGING CHILD
or
DANCING CHILD?
Difficult to choose. Dancing child won in the end, though.
On Star Trek
I don't know anything about the series, really, so long time fans, ignore my ignorance, and don't mind this. I'm just spouting my reaction to the movie.
+ I never knew there were space cadets with uniforms. 8D With like DIFFERENT AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION. There is a medic unit!!1 (Of course obviously in a vehicle like a space ship they would have medics but the idea of a medicine school for outer space never occurred to me.)
+ I am horribly drawn to Spock, especially young!Spock is his tutor-pod-thing with his awesome full length bangs
+ How is it possible that Kirk got choked/punched/kicked so many times and was, like, totally fine five seconds afterwards? D:
+ Russian kid (Chekov) was WIN! So was Harold Sulu, especially in the swordfighting part. It was like watching an exhibition in Soul Calibur. *glee*
+ Birthing scene so close to the opening sequence. o_o But I found the father cute.
+ What shocks me about this movie is how G-rated it was. Probably the most gruesome part was the brain-sucking beetle, but even that wasn't bad. D: Also maybe when their overenthusiastic crew member got torched due to his own stupidity, but that scene was funny. Intentionally, I think. I swear, the whole thing was SO UTTERLY HAPPY with sunshine and rainbows and everyone was like :D at the end and they flew into space and lived happily ever after! Everyone lived except for Winona Ryder Eric Bana um, bad people and unfortunately Spock's mother! YAY! It was even happier than Slumdog Millionaire. Happier than a chick flick. Happier than a feel-good movie. Why do I find that so weird?
I've always been intrigued by that alternate-reality-each-choice-splits-the-universe idea. I think the concept was most clearly explained to me in DWJ's Deep Secret, but it's really something I'd like to learn more about. In fact sometimes I do randomly think about that alternate world, but it's a little bit creepy (and I guess depressing in some cases), so maybe it's better not to.
