I Hadn't Even Been A Shipper Or Fanfic Person Before I Saw Star Trek The Motion Picture.

I hadn't even been a shipper or fanfic person before I saw Star Trek The Motion Picture.

I went into the movie knowing very little about Trek.

I left the cinema obsessed. I have not slept in weeks. I speak of nothing else. I dream of nothing else. I think of nothing else.

Send help.

I really hate that “Professor Spock” and “Vulcan robes” combined in my mind, for some reason, into a mixture between Leonard Nimoy’s Spock and Alan Rickman as that mean alchemy teacher and now that is the only way I can imagine Spock looking no matter the context.

Like I keep a tab of fanart open just to remind myself that Starfleet uniform is a thing in Spock’s life.

To be more specific, it generally gets better with the treatment of women, but it still likes its innuendos.

On a non-Stargate note… is all of Star Trek so fraught with innuendo and sexual situations? Or is it just the first 10 or so episodes of OG Star Trek that I’ve watched so far?

I just felt like you would all know the answer. To be clear, I’m a completionist. The answer won’t affect my decision to watch it.

Semi-based on that reboot elevator scene and also just my love for Uhura and the need for her and Kirk to be friends.

I don’t even think it matters which one of them is currently dating Spock, these two need someone who understands.

The unexpected existence of Pon Farr/The Social Network fics is deeply fascinating to me. And maybe slightly disturbing. But mostly fascinating.

Say what you will, Janice Rand is a badass who takes her job seriously. A powerful alien might just destroy the ship any moment now? Well, she has a job to do and nothing is going to stop her.
