Captain's log. Today a bunch of our ship fell off and nobody likes me.

So I've seen the new Star Trek about 4 times, which is ridiculous, I know, but various people kept asking me to go with them and I'm always like "Oh, no, I couldn't possib--OKAY YEAH LET'S WATCH IT A MILLION TIMES? :D :D :D" I'm am the saddest nerd, it's true.

But anyway, I've also been watching a bunch of the original series and the old movies for the first time in forever because generally I love everyone in TOS except Kirk and after watching the Planet of the Gangsters episode where he makes up a card game to troll people I'm even kind of waffling on that. Nyssa and I watched the planet of the whales movie last night and I learned a lot about...whales and stuff, and the follies of man, but mostly about how Bones McCoy is my favorite and he always will be. I want about a million fics like this:

SPOCK PRIME: You once carried my soul, you know. :|
NEW!MCCOY: D:

I would read this fic a million times.

Bones is love.. He really is.

I quite like Kirk, because he gives Bones and Spock someone to bounce their awesomeness off. I have a feeling I'm not supposed to read it that way, but frankly, I don't care...

Yes, that's exactly how I feel too! I watched "The Tholian Web" the other day and I really appreciated how Kirk wasn't used for much except for one instance of moral support. I don't dislike him, but I don't miss him when he's gone, if that makes sense.

Hopefully I will see it three or four or five times! \o/ &film;

It is made of kittens and funtimes, for sure. I've watched many worse movies multiple times, I'll tell you that much.

I just got back from seeing Star Trek for the first time!

Also, haaay gurl haaay.

[neigedens.livejournal.com]

Haaaay! Did you like it?

[caitiedidit.livejournal.com]

Mostly? I really loved all the characters (especially young!Spock), and I thought the Enterprise was badass. I want to read a zillion Star Fleet Academy fanfics! But I had no use for the time travel plot at all.

[neigedens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, at first I was kind of "Time travel? Introduced by a huge exposition dump? Really, movie?" But then it was fucking Nimoy and that was so cool that I didn't mind by about the third time I saw it.

I've seen the new one three times, and I want to go to the 1:15AM showing in IMAX -again! Also, how nerdy is this? When I read your post my first reaction was "Oh! I love A Piece of the Action!" So yes, I can pull the name of the gangster planet episode out of memory at will.

Obviously I need more of a life :P

DUDE planet of the gangsters is boss! There are the suits! And tommy guns! And flappers! And Shatner milking his terrible Chicago accent and Spock trying to use slang! It is amazing.
