Update on Sam: mostly, he's just annoyed that he's not allowed to do a lot of running right now. Also, he developed a cold/sore throat on top of this. My brother is talented, y'all.

Also! Watched the Star Trek movie last night. I'd been meaning to for a while, but finally got pushed into it because bedlamsbard posted some recommendation videos and among them were some great ones for Star Trek, at which point I kind of went 'so all those people flailing about how hot Chris PIne is ... weren't kidding?' and decided it was high time I watched it. It was a pretty great movie, fun, fast-paced, cute boys, Kirk being ridiculous, and George Kirk at the beginning was freaking AWESOME. Naming the child you're never going to see as you die to save it = SO MUCH WIN AND ANGST.

Also, Kirk and Spock are AWWWW.

... Is it a bad thing that I've started taking the sentences from Falls the Shadow and turning them into full stories? O.o It's all Susan and the Doctor, learning to love again and see the beauty in the world again (... perhaps I do too many rehabilitation fics XD - How Do They Rise Up and Falls the Shadow are both centered on that, and several others include the theme), and Susan remembering everything she told herself to forget.

Rehab fics! Ahahaha I love it. I suppose that's what the S. Pev/M. Pop ficbits are too, come to think of it. You take care of yourself by taking care of others.

I watched Star Trek, but I think I got hype-backlashed. Rabid Trek squee was just so all over the place, I couldn't help but have high expectations. So... it fell kinda flat for me. Alas. The Vulcan bullies were pretty lolsome though.

PS I intend to write you your Nimueh/Jadis AT SOME POINT.

I swear, it's like half the things I write center around this idea. Which makes kind of sense but not really at all? YES. Susan rehabbing with Mary Poppins, with the Doctor, with herself - I do her most, XD.

When it comes to watching TV and movies, I can be really, really shallow. e.g., I never really bring any expectations to it, so unless it squicks me out completely I'm pretty much good. Although, huge plot holes? Drive me up the wall. Also wooden acting annoys me. :P

SOME POINT will do swimmingly!

OMG KIRK AND SPOCK. I'm mad picky about my slash and it's been ages since I've had a good slash OTP. Probably no one since Remus/Sirius. BUT KIRK AND SPOCK. OMG THE EPIC LOVE. OMG I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT.

That movie was so fucking shiny. Not even Nat-the-Ex and his "IT WASN'T ORIGINAL STAR TREK" tantrum could ruin it for me.

Also, I have a million fic recs, both gen and K/S, should I do a post on my lj? Would you be interested in that?

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

YES. YES I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THESE FIC RECS. HELL TO THE YES, ACTUALLY.

I'm a shallow movie/TV watcher. If it is pretty and doesn't squick me out and the acting is decent I AM GOOD. Although I do enjoy having a reasonable plot, too. And Star Trek not only delivered on all of them it had KIRK. AND SPOCK. BEING AWESOME.

Possibly my favorite part in the whole movie? "Live long and prosper (bitches). BEST THING EVER.

Naming the child you're never going to see as you die to save it = SO MUCH WIN AND ANGST.

I may have to watch this movie JUST BECAUSE OF THIS. Though I have absolutely no idea WHAT Star Trek is even about. *is full of fail*

Hahahahaha, rehabilitation is good. Especially with Susan. Mostly because rehab fic is....so, well, not easy to write, but it just fits so well with Susan. Yeek. Hahaha, maybe I should also watch Doctor Who so I can understand your Doctor/Susan fic better.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

XDDD Honestly, I went into the movie with only the vaguest vaguest ideas of what it was about and understood it. It's pretty easy to get, actually.

I WOULD RECOMMEND DOCTOR WHO. *wisenod* I dunno how tight your 'shows I have to watch this summer' schedule is, but I would really suggest to try to fit at least Season 1 of the New Who into it, because it's really lovely. Eccleston = sheer WIN. Tennant's pretty awesome too, but Eccleston captured my heart in his one season as the Doctor.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Okay, then. I will definitely go see it (hopefully before I have to go out of town again)!

Hahah, it's really not that tight of a schedule, all things considered, I'm just really, really lazy, and like to blow things off. I've seen Tennant, I think (he's the Tenth Doctor, right?), when I watched Midnight, but I will definitely try to watch Eccleston's season (from my understanding, and speed!Googling, he's the Ninth Doctor?).

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Tennant's the 10th, Eccleston was the 9th, and they're both pretty much awesome. XD I think you'd like it.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Well, then, definitely going on my list.

Hi, so I've been stalking your journal for while, and um... would you mind if I friended you? Your fanfics are gorgeous!

And I would so read more Susan/Doctor!! Like I said in my review, if someone else write it then I don't have to do it, and Doctor Who frightens me too much to start writing in it yet. (I feel like I don't know the canon good enough. I started watching it only 3 months ago...)

And I'm seeing Star Trek tomorrow and this just made me more excited!!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mind, not at all! *is flattered* Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed them!

There's only a very little bit so far, but there will probably be more Susan/Doctor at some point, simply because I adore the two of them together. I haven't been watching Doctor Who long either (read: ... less than two months?), so I'm a bit worried about my Doctor characterization. :/

Ooh, hope you enjoy! It really was a fun movie.

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

I started watching Doctor Who 3 months ago when I decided that David Tennant actually was pretty hot and Ten's suit was awesome, so I shot through season 2, 3 and 4 in a month. (still haven't watched season1..)

I really liked your Doctor characterization. It's pretty hard to get personality into just one sentence, but I think you did pretty good=)

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

You should really try the first season sometime, because Eccleston was a brilliant Doctor and the finale was gorgeous. So pretty. Plus, all the Bad Wolf references make a lot more sense if you've watch Season 1. :P Thanks!

[caramelsilver.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know I should, and I have started a little. I promised my friend (who I introduced to Dr. Who btw) I would. Cause when she heard I skipped season one, she's all 'how could you do that? You'll miss all the awesome references...!' and I'm all 'Um... David Tennant is really hot?'

I saw Star Trek btw. And OMG so awesome!!

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

I KNOW I KNOW! Star Trek was GOOD. XD

Have fun watching Season 1!
