Some days, I sit around and fret over what the next Star Trek movie will do to my happy little squee bubble. Will they try to reboot Khan as another fucking Nero? (zzzzzz) Will they screw with the Kirk/Spock dynamic? Will Uhura and Spock's relationship get some explanation or depth? Will I finally get to see the trio in full action? Will McCoy get ( Read more... )

I picked up a lot of books last week as I've said before, but not surprising to anyone, I started on the ST books. I had to put down the novelization for Search for Spock after a couple of chapters, though. I don't know what it is, but I didn't much enjoy the author's style and the extra scenes put in that were different than the movie didn't ( Read more... )

-- I know there are, like, a billion things that Kirk/Spock writers regard as fanon that has no canon basis, but my current confusion is in regard to Jim being allergic to everything. The only two real pieces of canon in which it explicitly states that Kirk has an allergic reaction is in Wrath of Khan with Kirk being allergic to the stuff that will ( Read more... )

I had a Supernatural dream last night. Yay watching the Pilot at a late hour!

( My dream, I show you it )

I rewatched The Naked Time with my mom last night. It's always fun watching with her, because she's A.) the only one I know who actually loves Star Trek and B.) it's been so long since she's seen episodes that some things are new for her still. It's hard for me to watching particularly slashy episodes, because I want to flail and make dolphin ( Read more... )

It grew, and grew, and became this fancy and pseudo-coherent analysis of Kirk/Spock and how their relationship grows and is the main point of the entire movie. And you know, it was actually hella fun to write because I think that in this fandom, ( Read more... )

Okay, I was replying to comments left by devidarkwolf  and quarterwhore  on my last entry, and I realized that I actually did have something to say about last night's episode, but didn't figure out what's been niggling at the back of my mind. Now, the episode was far from bad, but far from good.  Roadkill is a shitty episode.  Mystery Spot is an awesome one.  This fell at ( Read more... )

I'm confused.  I was rewatching some season four episodes, and I don't get the whole "angels have no emotions" thing.  Are they supposed to be carved from marble, as Anna says, or is it more that they can't feel the complete depth of what we call emotions?  For example, Uriel gets pissed a lot.  Anna said that Castiel didn't know what sorry felt ( Read more... )
