Mr. Spock (in reruns) was one of my earliest crushes, and the show one of my favorites for many years. Isn’t he yummy? You really need to hear his speaking voice to get the full effect.
I might not get quite the same buzz from the new Star Trek movie, but nostalgia moves me to go and see it anyway. If I don’t like it, I can take the traditional Trekker approach and complain about it bitterly afterwards.
And who knows, maybe I will like the new movie in a whole new way. It’s definitely got some actors I enjoy watching. Sadly, though, I can’t see it tonight–my choir has a dress rehearsal for our Saturday performance. But soon. Soon I shall see it! Soon it shall be mine!
It is illogical to think Friday should be happier than any other day of the week.
About Victoria Janssen
Victoria Janssen [she, her] currently writes cozy space opera for
Kalikoi. The novella series A Place of Refuge begins with
Finding Refuge:
Telepathic warrior Talia Avi, genius engineer Miki Boudreaux, and augmented soldier Faigin Balfour fought the fascist Federated Colonies for ten years, following the charismatic dissenter Jon Churchill. Then Jon disappeared, Talia was thought dead, and Miki and Faigin struggled to take Jon’s place and stay alive. When the FC is unexpectedly upended, Talia is reunited with her friends and they are given sanctuary on the enigmatic planet Refuge. The trio of former guerillas strive to recover from lifetimes of trauma, build new lives on a planet with endless horizons, and forge tender new connections with each other.
Nice Spock pic! I went to see it and, trust me, I’m a die-hard Trekkie from the Old School and I loved it. :)
Saw it yesterday–it was really fun. Wanted more Simon Pegg, though. And Karl Urban.
