Star Trek: Into Darkness thoughts:
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧SPOILERS✧
- What exactly was the point of having Benedict Crumblebatch be Khan? They don’t really do much with the fact that he’s genetically engineered, aside from somehow having magic healing blood and being super strong and stuff. They never even mention the Eugenics War by name! If they really HAD to have Benedict as the main villain, it would make so much more sense (and involve less gross whitewashing) for him to be Khan’s second-in-command as John Harrison. Then you’d have more of an intimidation factor for Khan—if this dude is so hardcore just imagine how batshit crazy his boss would be! That last shot of the camera looking over the cryopods would pan over John Harrison’s face and then super-slo-mo over to a CGI Ricardo Montalbán.
- Speaking of magic healing blood, my headcanon for Bones insisting on John Harrison being captured alive has more to do with him trying to stop Spock from committing murder then the properties of the blood. Seriously, John Harrison implied that the whole crew is genetically engineered to be superior like him. And with Jim in cryostasis, Bones has the time to check and see if the dude they cracked out of the pod has the same chance of saving Jim. But I think that Bones was aware that a morally pacifist Spock would ultimately come to regret murdering him.
- Also that part where Jim didn’t remember Christine Chapel was totally gross and wrong on so many levels. A) Makes Jim a womanizing sleazebag instead of a dude who enjoys lots of no-strings-attached sex with enthusiastically consenting participants; B)Implies that only men can have no-strings-attached sex because women always get clingy and want to make it a relationship and ultimately lose their shit when the guy leaves; C) Erasure of a well-known female character, because it’s not like JJ’s Trek has so many that we can afford to lose yet another one
- Pike’s unfortunate sideburns. I think maybe the producers didn’t appreciate Bruce Greenwood stealing the limelight from Chris Pine in the first movie and came up with a way to tone down his silver fox hotness.
- Zachary Quinto, A+ job on Spock’s amazing levels of sass
- Jim and Uhura getting together to bitch about Spock, 10 million more moments of this please
Things I’d like to see more of:
- Bones and Spock getting together to bitch about Jim
- Bones and Uhura bitching about everybody
- Bones bitching
- Bones
- Chekov growling at anyone who mentions engineering to him for the next three months
- Sulu being fucking fabulous
- Sulu fencing
I forgot to mention the ridiculousness of Starfleet supposedly NOT being militarized at all, when a giant unidentified starship of death shows up in a lightning cloud in the middle space and then disappears. Yeah, I’m talking about Nero, who jump-starts the Federation’s understanding of Romulans by about 30 years— until 2266 all communications with them is purely audio in TOS.
And then this nonsense about a 5 year exploratory mission. Are you kidding me? The Federation just lost a planetful of one of its founding members, Nero’s attacks are not exactly going to inspire peace between the Federation and Romulus, and Klingons want to fight everybody. This with the death of practically the entire graduation class at Starfleet Academy. That’s just the events of the first movie! Add in ST:ID and you’ve got an important weapons lab exploded, over a dozen dead Starfleet bigwigs just to start with plus everyone who was in Starfleet high command when “Khan” crashes the warship, and also they’re down the warship itself (which I think would be really useful) and Starfleet’s flagship the enterprise.
i.e. The cold war stand-off between the Romulan Empire, Klingon Empire, and Federation is hardly going to maintain it’s balance when the Federation is so weak.
And the Earth is clearly ripe for the picking considering it doesn’t seem to have ANY KIND OF SECURITY. Bring an armed cruiser within meters of Starfleet high command? Sure! Epic shootout between Starfleet’s flagship and a giant unmarked Federation warship just miles beyond Earth’s atmosphere? Apparently not a problem! Two massive ships crashing into the planet? Ok!

not language but a map: but what if christine chapel and jim kirk meant to have...
but what if christine chapel and jim kirk meant to have no-strings-attached wild barnburner type sex, only then something super embarrassing happened — like christine caught jim giving his dick a pep talk in the bathroom, or sloppy mantears occurred for an unjustified reason, or jim accidentally shouted his own name when he came — and christine had to request a transfer because she couldn’t look at him or even hear his voice on the shipwide broadcasts without cracking the fuck up and it was starting to freak patients out
jim says he ~doesn’t remember~ but that’s aspirational, he only wishes he didn’t; the truth is he relives it in the stunningly vivid technicolor of abject mortification pretty much whenever he closes his eyes
that’s my new headcanon, that makes this better for me

A WORLD OF NOOOOOPE.
Okay can we talk about how Elementary totally fucking subverted the idea of fridging a woman for Sherlock’s manpain
BECAUSE OH MY GOD
like the one major thing I was pressed with the show about was fridging Irene and then it turns out she’s not dead and I’m like omg yay show!!! IRENE!!!
and then
I feel like they could remake that whole movie from Chekov’s point of view.
The title would be THIS IS NOT MY JOB! and it would just be two hours of Chekov running around the warp core with his little goggles as everything goes to shit all around him.
for future reference: this is how joan watson smiles before she fucks an egotistical mastermind’s shit up
"But the final hour is called “Heroine” for a reason, as this is also a story about Joan Watson at the end of the day. In a case where Sherlock is at his weakest, and when he is unable to realize that the path to victory is failure because it means acknowledging that failure is even a possibility, it is Joan who sees more clearly. Joan isn’t afraid of Moriarty, but is rather protective of Sherlock (as both his sober companion and his partner), and the confusion that Moriarty’s emergence creates within Sherlock creates surety for Joan. If Sherlock only sees puzzles and Moriarty only sees games, Watson sees actual people: her interest in Sherlock is human, the kind of relationship that Moriarty can’t even imagine (referring to her as a mascot at one point in their lunch date). While the truth about Moriarty robs Sherlock of the most striking, human connection he believed he had ever made, the resulting investigation reaffirms a more powerful connection in his partnership with Joan, the newly discovered species of Euglassia Watsonia a metaphor for what happens when an extremely rare bee miraculously unexpectedly finds a compatible partner."
