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. ♥

This week: Who are your five favourite female characters of colour?

I'm really, really bad at picking favourites, so I'll just leave it at "five awesome female characters of colour, in no particular order" instead. And even so it was hard to pick. I mean, I could mention more than five from A:tLA alone. :P But I tried to go for different fandoms.

About a million years ago,

sha_chan posted this meme:

Comment to this entry saying you want to play. I will pick seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you're interested in them. Post this along with your questions in your own journal so others can play.

And this is what she asked me about: ( star trek, michael ende, jostein gaarder, oscar wilde, dumas, discworld, okami )

So, yesterday

drachenaugen and I went to see Return of the Fallen, and since it was the second time we noticed a lot more details (mostly of the "this doesn't make any sense" kind, but oh well). Anyway. The thing is, I promised (threatened?) a big plotbunny post today.

And here it goes. =D Yes, they are all crossovers.

( vaguely spoilery movie-related bunnies )

And since I'm talking about bunnies. Some other non-Movie!verse crossovers I don't want to lose.

( no spoilers for anything here )

* * *

Aaaand the last thing. Which isn't exactly a plot bunny, more like a weird... reasoning. Thing. With spoilers for RotF and Star Trek XI. (And for Star Trek II and III? Do those still count as spoilers?)

( I wonder how many of you already know where this is going )
