I--I can almost understand why you do what you do.

They gave us a movie that was partly a High School AU fanfic, partly a normal AU fanfic, and they made two characters, one of them being a completely iconic character, involved in a [mildly at least] taboo teacher/student relationship that they don't even reveal for certain until halfway into the movie after the now woobiefied-Spock just has his planet destroyed (because he's the Ninth Doctor now) and someone--the audience, Uhura, Uhura-for-the-audience--needed to give the guy a hug.

The only thing to top that in ship appeal for me would be to have Nero be a really hot woman instead of Eric Bana, and then Kirk and Really Hot Villain Woman have all sorts of enemies UST. But I'm not sure that'd be a good movie.


Except for the part where IT IS SPOCK. AND UHURA. my mom says I just wasn't watching TOS for enuff subtext and I tartly responded that the only subtext anyone cares about in that show is Kirk/Spock (Spock/Kirk? you decide). ...SPOCK. AND UHURA*.

I am not so burdened by prior canon as you. I've seen the movies, and...maybe...6 or 7 original episodes? I'm a TNG kid. It's a bit like DW or Marvel comics for me...I know there's prior canon. I might even have seen a bit of prior canon. But it doesn't factor in at all to what I'm shipping now.


*who is not only a junior officer BUT HIS STUDENT i'm pretty sure there are regulations about that

But that is the most LOL-tastic part of it! Because...it's Spock. You'd expect it of Jim. But. SPOCK, DUDE. How different is this world, if Kirk grows up as a sloppy, insulting, good-for-nothing youth with father issues and Spock grows up to be a lot more emotional, rebellious, and full of repressed anger than we remember?

see the interesting thing about this movie versus DC or Marvel movies is that they explicitly reference a) the existence of canon material and b) the fact that this is ALTERNATE REALITY CANON in which case they can do...pretty much whatever they want. So technically I...should not care. Or...something? It is confusing. I made a post though!

Also may I just say this movie was a waste of Eric Bana's hotness I totally forgot that was him/spent part of the movie wondering if it was going to turn out that he was an alternate reality Spock being played by Zach Quinto.

IT SHOULD BE LOL-TASTIC BUT IT JUST MAKES ME SAD INSIDE. D:
