Watch me geek-out
I am getting seriously excited about the new Star Trek movie.
I just wanted to share that. And I might have to change this icon.
I was skeptical at first, but wow. This thing is either going to blow hardcore or be the best Trek movie since Wrath of Khan. Also, I have a mad crush on Sylar the new Spock already. And probably the new Kirk too. Actually, everyone's hot. And SIMON PEGG IS SCOTTY!!! Most random casting choice ever, but hey, he's made of awesome.
...actually I still need to pick up Hot Fuzz. The next time I reappear someone tie me down and force me to buy it. Because Simon Pegg is awesome and I need more than just Shaun of the Dead and his role as the Editor on Who to remind me of that...
Wait, if everyone's hot does that mean I'm going to end up shipping everyone with everyone? And on a fandom note, is this going to spawn new generations of Trek fans who refuse to have anything to do with nerds like me, nor my canon? Will any new fans won to the franchise refuse to watch the older stuff? Gasp, will Enterprise be considered too...old?
Oh who am I kidding? No matter how cool or badass or modern this movie is, it's going to have the social stigma of "Star Trek" associated with it, and any part of the market that's able to be seduced by Trek is already hog-tied, duct-taped, and tattooed over in the corner to later be sold as feeder for shows like Who and Galactica. And we'll be in our smelly corner mumbling through the duct-tape about how Star Trek has be shit since Voyager and that prequels have ruined America.
Or something. I'll probably be squeeing quietly to myself so no one else hears.
