Mr. Spock, Space Wizard

As it says right there in the article: An exploration of how the concept of the wizard translates into science fiction television and films with your friend Mr. Spock from Star Trek.

But apart from being really interesting, it manages to articulate a great part of why I've always loved Star Trek and that I can never express in any other way than "THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE AND NERDS AND A GOOD EXAMPLE AND AND ALJFLAFJALDSJFLASKJ ♥" So, I quote:

Spock, the Space Wizard has many abilities, including the ability to inspire. As a character existing in a dramatization of the future, Spock presents an ideal for scientific exploration, tolerance, and tenacity. He is attractive to diverse groups from NASA engineers to people of mixed-ethnicity. Fans of the show aspire to imitate his role as a scientist and Space Wizard. If Gene Roddenberry's vision holds an appeal as a future that new generations can attempt to create, it is an attainable Utopia for dreamers. Star Trek is a show about humanity, and Spock is a part of humanity. He reflects mankind's great potential, and endeavoring to be like Spock or any other Star Trek character is the search through science to be the best human possible. A fantasy wizard hordes knowledge from the past. A science-fiction Space Wizard inspires knowledge yet to be found in the future.

I love you, Star Trek. ♥

Since I waited until the end of the book to make a post, I'll probably forget about tons of interesting things to say, so just remind me in the comments. :P On the plus side: this is going to be mostly coherent! Yay!

( Cut for spoilers AND length )

( Up to chapter 32 )

... okay bed now |D

( Why yes, more stupid wizards! )

Also, people, go ask for something in this meme!

... and I'm saying that mostly just to give you people an idea of where I'm up to. Because I would like to make a proper post, but SO MANY THINGS HAPPENNED OMG. I feel like Mark. SHIT JUST GOT REALER!


Also, apparently the reason why I haven't been able to see any Tinypic images in a month or so is that they aren't providing their service to Argentina anymore. :| Which... oooookay. I mean, I can sort of get not letting people from here upload pictures (apparently the reason was that they didn't sell enough premium memberships here? or something?), but... we can't see anything anyone uploads? What the hell, Tinypic?

I mean, yes, we can use proxies but still.

( Up to chapter 13 )

Well. Meme time.

Day 20: Character you wouldn’t mind having as your butler/maid

( I bet no one remembers I've seen this anime )
