*insert cliched Trek title here*

I have now seen Star Trek (XI) 3 times.

Time One:
I knew nothing about Star Trek, except that their fandom was biggest. spaciireth and I had a conversation as the film was to begin, while daughter-of-a-trekker chaotic8calm  was absent for a few moments, which went somewhat like this: "So, the Klingons are the bad guys." "Yeah, but not in this one, I don't think." "And Spock, he's not a human. But he's not a Klingon either." "What is he then? He does the hand thing, I know that."

Time Two:
Barely a week later, and by now I had a growing arsenal of Trek knowledge. However, the movie was still for the pretties and not for the fangirling at this point. And, although we had gone in a large and nerdy group, I may have spent part of the film distracted by my (at the time, quite new) girlfriend.

Time Three:
Last Night. The ANU Film Group was screening it for all it's members, and for $35 a semester to see 2 or more films a week in our own special cinema, why wouldn't you join? So, once again spaciireth , chaotic8calm  and I ventured forth into the world of the future &c. This time, though, we had whole swathes of Trek Knowledge. My fic rec post which is compiling itself for tonight or tomorrow will be proof at least of our new-found-fandom lurking. So now, finally, there is a chance for a REAL REACTION POST! Will we get one though? No. Instead, a few, short, silly fannish comments in no particular order.

- Spock seems to have a special lunge when he gats angry. We see this both when he faces the little Vulcan bullies and when he attacked Jim on the bridge. It's a sort of pull back in melodramtic rage, then forward for the ultraviolence. It makes me laugh a little.
- Bones is Eomer. I'm sorry, I can't see him without beard and golden locks. Much like Uhura is Anamaria and shouldn't be making out with Spock. That's Jim's job.
- Having watched TOS, I can say they're all really in character, but more... contemporarily bitchy?

Yes! I spent the entire film watching Eomer tending to the crew of the Enterprise! Oh, fandoms, please separate yourselves in mi mind.

Also, fic rec:

It's long and ongoing, but it's excellent.

Fandoms do like to get all muddled up.

I ADORE HOME! Have you read Chapter 33? You should have seen the excitement amoungst my crowd when it got posted the over day.

OH MAN NO WAY.

Always, we have the same taste in fic.

Man, Ruth called me to tell me Home updated, and I panicked, because I was in the city and had no internet access and Maccas wi-fi doesn't let you access fanfiction.net, so I didn't know how to get to it! However, this scenario taught me that the Myer bathrooms in the CBD have internet access. Don't ask me how I found out.

But man! Did you spend the past two weeks checking over and over for an update? I did. I was so afraid she was going to go all Shoebox on us and suddenly stop. (I am currently re-reading chapter 33.)

Also, you should read the tiny!Spock fic by jade_dragoness, you would love that.
