Yeah I was going to write about my holiday but got distracted by Star Trek. I AM A HARDCORE GEEK! We got upgraded to Business Class (Courtesy of COMRADE CHEKOV, I am sure) and it was awesome! And I watched Star Trek XI twice on the way back. What? It was a long flight! Here are some thoughts I had:
My Star Trek thoughts. Let me show you them!
- Starfleet Academy is in San Francisco. Not in Space. For some reason I thought it was on some random planet. IDK how I managed to miss the freaking Golden Gate Bridge. This means I'm going to go back and edit Syndicate. Argh. It doesn't even make sense any more. Because if Hikaru was flying from Japan it would make much more sense for him to go to San Francisco directly rather than go to Iowa, where that shuttle took off from. Maybe he goes to see his Dad first? And the closest shuttle is the one from Iowa. And why is Pavel getting the shuttle from Iowa? Hrmm. I suppose it is just as well I was going to re-record the audio fic because this is going to take some retconning.
Maybe theres a security clearance thing that only takes place in Iowa. Yeah. That's what it is.
- I have been pronouncing Pavel wrong. In my head I always said it Pay-vel as opposed the corerect Pah-vel.
- Captain Pike is an even bigger BAMF than I remember.
- The edited, 'cleaned-up', plane version changes 'pointy-eared bastard' to 'pointy-eared buzzard.' You have no idea how much this made me laugh. They also substitute Bullcrap for Bullshit.
- Sulu really is a Space-Ninja. He shows up and kicks ass!
- The air steward looked a bit like John Cho. He was incredibly hyper, camp and ultimately incredibly unefficient. I also wonder that his face didn't hurt from his excessively cheerful grin that he had on all the time.
Now, I want to give Sulu of the Misadventures Proper a younger brother who fits this description. They don't get on because Hikaru thinks he's annoying and a disgrace and resents having being held to higher standards of everything while his younger brother could get away with murder. And the brother (Hideki?) resents his seemingly 'perfect' older brother whose precedent he could never live up to. At some point they meet up and hilarity ensues culminating in an ridiculously childish argument along the lines of:
Hideki: You didn't even thank me in your liner notes!
Hikaru: What was I suppose to thank you for? For being a pain in my ass?
Hideki: For being a supportive brother?
Hikaru: You've never been supportive. You hate me!
Hideki: Well I do now!
Hikaru: Not as much as I hate you!
Hideki: I hate you more than anyone has hated anything! I wish you'd die!
Hikaru: You're like a black hole of suck! I hope you die of cardassian syphilis!
Hideki: Asshole!
Hikaru: Dickhead!
*continue insults of an increasingly profane nature*
Chekov: ...
Kirk: Fight! Fight! Fight!
Scotty: Throw some jello on them!
Everyone: O_o
Scotty: What? They're both very pretty!
Everyone: O_O
Chekov: I vill be in my bunk. *runs*
Uhura: Looks like our baby is finally growing up!
Kirk: *sniff* I am so proud.
Scotty: *throws jello*
I also like the idea of Hideki trying to put the moves on Chekov to piss off Sulu.
Hideki: So what time does your shift finish?
Chekov: Who vants to know?
Hideki: I do, silly. Do you want to get coffee afterwards?
Chekov: No. I do not drink coffee. Good day.
Hideki: Well how about -
Chekov: I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!
Later
Hideki: So are you doing anything this weekend.
Chekov: I am vashing my hair.
Hideki: What all weekend.
Chekov: Yes. Good Day.
Hideki: But -
Chekov: GOOD DAY SIR! I SAID GOOD DAY
Even later
Hideki: Something tells me you're avoiding me.
Chekov: No really? Vat gave it avey?
Hikaru: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Hideki: What's it to you?
Hikaru: Do you think I can't see whats going on here?
Hideki: Well I don't know. Can you? You always were a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
Hikaru: Leave him alone.
Hideki: Maybe he doesn't want to be left alone.
Chekov: Yes he does!
Kirk: How the hell is that guy always getting on the bridge?
Spock: I do not know but please can we not throw jello this time?
Chekov: Keptin, they are yelling again.
Uhura: Is it just me or does anyone else have the urge to send them to their rooms?
Chekov: You could send Hikaru to my room.
Kirk/Spock: What?
Chekov: Nothing.
Uhura: You said the inside your head thing out loud didn't you?
Chekov: *blushes*
Hikaru: YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM HE'S MINE. *Grabs Chekov's wrist and drags him off*
Hideki: Bitch!
Kirk: Ok, you need to get the hell off my ship.
Uhura: So do you think those two will finally - you know?
Spock: One would assume that would be the logical conclusion, however if we take their previous pattern of behaviour into consideration it seems unlikely.
Meanwhile:
Chekov: Vere are ve going?
Hikaru: I don't know. Just away.
Chekov: Um... so... ven you said I vas yours, you meant as in your friend, da?
Hikaru: *sighs* Yeah, Pavel. That's what I meant.
Chekov: *sighs* Zat iz vat I thought.
Both: :(
Oh boys, just make out already.
I said I would be back with ideas... I didn't know they would all hit me at once! Also now I have been to San Francisco, someone at some point in Syndicate is going to rant about how schitzophrenic the weather is there because damn! One minute it is clear and sunny and the next the fog descents upon you like a ninja!
One day I shall actually do some work at work! But today is not that day!
Secret is now leaving the building! Thank you very much!
