Star Trek, meme
Went to see it twice: once with group of friends (Trekkie), once with sororial unit (non-Trekkie). Will write it up for the weekly read/watch meme, probably.
I hate to be that Internet fan, but it's difficult to watch Cumberbatch and Quinto glare at each other without being like, damn, Sherlock Holmes' genetic material really has seen some interesting vagaries in Trek canon.
...What? It wouldn't make the fanfic they did write any more awkward. XD; BC executes wonderfully, but he's not doing Montalban** and the character might as well not be Khan, so what's the point. (Lindelof couldn't resist the ghei angst is the point, yes, I know. But guys, seriously: there's whitewashing, and then there's "I call BS on this dude's name being 'Singh'.")
** Can't pull off the pecs so wise decision. But for one hot second I feared I was going to watch a movie in which le Cumberbatch puts the 1960s Latin lover/masterful dom whammy on Alice Eve's Carol Marcus.
OK, there is this (seen in various places):
I have 32 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 32 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
I have figured out how to add the footer on a crosspost! Go me! /rollsalot (Original post is here: http://petronia.dreamwidth.org/54665.html)
