Went to see Star Trek.
(yes, again. shush.)
It was still awesome. And fun. And I finally saw the tribble.
Vulcan still go boom, though, which is not awesome. I am also highly bothered by the blueness of the sky.
Most of the characters (well, new actor versions, I mean) are growing on me more, with each time I see it. Sarek (and Amanda) are, for whatever reason, the primary exceptions; they still have a vibe of Wrongness to them.
I still want to write Kirk/McCoy Academy spacejumping fic. (Because you know that as much as Bones gripes about the dangers space shuttles, he's going to be even more thrilled at the prospect of jumping out of a [perfectly good] shuttle.)
I also want to write an elder-Spock-POV thing on how the universe is like a giant rubber band. er, not that he'd think that, but the whole thing about how the timeline, stretched out of What Should Have Been, is trying to rebound, and okay maybe he's helping with some of that ("oh hai there younger me, go bond with Kirk already zomg you guys are bffs") but the level of coincidence required to have Spock *happen* to maroon Kirk right next to where Spock Prime *happened* to be marooned which just *happened* to be right next to where Scotty, almost inexplicably, was stationed...
(I also want to know wtf Nero was thinking drilling into *water*. I mean, yes, okay, Starfleet headquarters, plus very symbolic bridge, but srsly, drilling into the ocean to get to the core? when a teensy shift would have had the drill going through land?)
Also, the
star_trek_flashfic prompt right now is mirror universes, and even though I know I'm fucking conflating Trekverse mirror universes with SGverse quantum mirror thingums, I still kind of want to write something where they end up in a mirror universe where Vulcan still exists, and Amanda still is alive, and Spock goes all crazy wibbly emotionally compromised.
