Day Ten: Top Five Reasons You Feel The Way You Do Right Now
Well, I'm always feeling fannish so I'll go with that feeling (as opposed to bored--because I'm on break--and cranky as hell because it's hot and it's summer and those two things and I don't go well together) and tell you now it's because:
  1. Watching Star Trek: The Original Series for the first time. (I'm looking forward to the other incarnations of the franchise just because I'm a complete-ist. I've seen random bits of TNG and Voyage and loved them, but it'll be fascinating to go back and watch them from the beginning, and get caught up with the animated series, DS9, and Enterprise.)
  2. Pretty much fell head over heels in love with Haven too.
  3. And same goes for "Welcome to Night Vale" even though I'm the slowest person ever to catch up with the series.
  4. Sinbad started out so awesome, but then it started dragging and now it's kinda a chore to watch it because I'm not very much invested in this world, which is a drag and I so very much wanted to love this show and I did. For like five episodes? But then my most favorite character, Nala, left the show, and now it's become well...so much more about Sinbad and how the secondary characters are all there to make him a better person and that gets tiring after a while. (I'm not saying Sinbad isn't an interesting character, just that the secondary characters are interesting as well, and the world established is interesting, yet the execution falls flat.)
  5. I don't keep up with it as much as I'd like to (a lack of funds and just getting to the comic store), but I am so bummed out my absolute favorite (well, one of my absolute favorites) comic about my favorite mutants--X-Factor by Peter David--is getting cancelled. To me, it seems like a bad move on Marvel's part because this is a book that does sell well, although maybe not as well as Marvel would like or whatever they're thinking by ending it.

So, yeah. I had written this way before I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness (like a day before, I think it was?) so it's not STID fic, but based on the first rebooted movie; only tonight I finally managed to proof-read it. The interesting thing, for me personally, is that it's in Spock's p.o.v. mostly, which is shocking because a. never would I have entertained I'd write anything Star Trek-ish (it's a wonderful fandom sandbox to play in, but so intimidating, quite like comics fandom, because there is this whole history behind it, and it's a cultural movement, and GUH! where would one even start? Which is why nu!Star Trek is so hopeful) and b. even if I were hypothetically to have entertained the idea in the first place, I wouldn't have pictured Spock to be my fandom ice breaker as it were (well...Kirk/Spock, but more Spock than the ship because, alas, the 'ship is practically nonexistent in this fic).

Also, another interesting thing is Kirk here says he's fine a lot, and in Star Trek Into Darkness, I noticed he says he's fine too. This was purely coincidental, and I don't believe him in either case.

Hi
Have my exploded, disjointed thoughts on the film:

Read more... )

Um, it's possible I might have a lot of Star Trek thoughts? Oops.

Also, I do not have any ST icons on here; that distresses me.

Star Trek (2009)

I really loved this film. I did. It was awesome and had A LOT of awesome people I had seen in previous movies/just loved in public generally. And it was just AWESOME. No, really. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW VERY FUN THIS MOVIE IS.

But it also made me very uncomfortable.

wherein I ramble about TWO very major things that made this movie less enjoyable for me )

And I'm really just totally in love with Scotty. (Stupid Simon Pegg. Stop being awesome.) So that's all that needs to be said about that.

I really did love this movie. It was fantastic, just you know - not the above.
