I cannot, in good conscience...

Wed Jul 1, 2009, 9:52 PM
...call myself a Trekkie. I know this. I recognize that most true Trekkies would probably scorn me as one of the masses who only got into the series because of the new movie.

But then...isn't that what it was for? To bring in new fans, to breathe a little life into the franchise again? And, in my defense, as long as I go back to the originals and introduce myself to them in their own right, isn't that okay?

At least I can say honestly that I'm not one of the idiots who watch the new movie and start saying how into it I am and call myself a Trekkie. I'm not. I never will be, truly. But I did sit down and watch the original Star Trek 2 (and I want to find time to watch 3, dammit, because NOOOO SPOCK D8) and once I find some time I do want to watch more of the original episodes.


That said. After my second viewing of the new movie...

Omg I'd tap Spock in a heartbeat D/////: (New or old, to be honest, though banging Leonard Nimoy would be...uh...yeah that's awkward to think about.)

My primary reason for loving Spock as I do? My god. He's articulate. Eloquent. For god's sake he actually spoke without ending sentences in prepositions. "If you would clarify, Minister- to what disadvantage are you referring?" Ffffffff I could weep of joy.
(In all fairness, Pike also had a line that followed that rule. This also made me very happy and respect him even more than I already did. "To whom am I speaking?" ghafj <3)

Also, seeing a character transformation like that of the scene on the bridge is just so much of why I love storytelling. And as much as I love the written word, it can be so difficult to catch that...weight, with prose, that truly excellent performances can simply show. The heaviness to his breath as he asks McCoy to enter the date and time of his resignation, for example. Guh.

In other news, I am working for the government in an actual liekforreal day job. (Hence previous journal.) 5 days a week, 9 to 5(well, -ish) and everything, as a quasi-intern. Plus a 4-hour night math class, an online editing class, and the two D&D games I'm running. PLUS, now that I'm working and have my mind occupied more of the time, story-stuff is working itself out at a rather increased pace. Haven't actually written much yet, but at least I'm untangling the knots.

Christ busy summer is busy.

Awesome! :"D Why is it scary? ;3; We's good people, I promise. :"B

You'll have to drop me a line when you move in- we should meet somewhere and get coffee or something!

Oooh, point taken. :"C I was a weird one: I didn't really feel nervous about going to college until the night after my graduation, and then the next time was when I was actually packing up my stuff to leave.

Nah, I'm harmless. XD A little quiet, a little withdrawn, but basically harmless.

Ooh, roadtrip .x. How far do you have to go to get here? D:
