Yay!! \O/ I often feel stuck in the middle b/c of my age, so it's good to know I'm not alone in that. :p Growing up on Next Gen, it was hard to get respect from some of the really old-school Trekkies, but I fought for it, for sure, and the sparkle text makes me shudder, too. Remembering IDIC is going a long way to helping me enjoy the new fandom explosion. ^__^
Cheers to that! I grew up watching TOS in repeats on Saturday afternoons and while I was never a STNG fan, I loved DS9 and enjoyed both Voyager and Enterprise and loved movies 2, 3 and 4 to pieces. I just got back from seeing the new movie and I have no issues at all with it. It was a brilliant AU that I think has rejuvenated the Trek Verse, and I adore Spock/Uhura. :)
Everything you said (except that I loved Next Gen). :D
I really wish a lot of people would get their heads out of their asses over the new movie, but to each their own. I don't have to read their bitching, anyway. :p
After the movie I told my parents that people online were all upset that this movie erased all that came before and they both laughed in disbelief (and dad was a huge TOS fan). I mean, they even discuss the alt universe theory IN the movie! This is all parallel now. I think it was a great move to revitalize a kind of stagnant universe.
I know! I don't understand how people could have missed that. I mean, were they just not paying attention, or what? O_o
I really do love the way they did the movie to preserve the original timeline, too. And if people are still pissed about the destruction of Romulus, I just say: hey, there's nothing preventing the existing of another branch wherein the original timeline is preserved AND Romulus still exists! :p Such a brilliant way to bring the idea of a multiverse into the fold. And yeah, it was about time we got some new blood on the screen. ^__^
If I knew how to make animated icons, I'd be all over that. XD
And yes! Deforest always felt like a great-uncle to me, and Shatner and Nimoy were older than my parents, so it was hard for me to get on board with much there. :p Watching TOS the last few days though, older, wiser, and with slash goggles firmly in place, I'm finally seeing the K/S. The McCoy pairings have been so much easier to see with the new cast, though. I don't think I'll ever quite see it in TOS.
I'm with you on Trip/T'Pol, too. Gods, what a pairing! Never got into online fandom for Enterprise, but I'm sure I would have read plenty of Trip/Malcolm, too. :p
*pretends I am not plotting a T'Pol/Spock Prime fic at all.*
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! \O/
Tell me you saw the prompt for this pairing that I might or might not have posted over at the kink meme! ~O_O~ *wibble*

Seriously, that's about as close as I get to a philosophy for life. :) I really need to upload that icon I have of the symbol...

I've been reading so much fic, too. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be enjoying Kirk/McCoy! XD
I totally don't get the literal OTP thing, either. There's just no reason to think it has to be one or the other, and nothing else.
*hugs*
