I just keep looking at that first gif and giggling. “I’m Hikaru Sulu,” he says, as the camera pushes in and lens flares over his eye to make sure you know he’s important (slight pause for audience cheering on opening night). Of course. That’s probably how he introduces himself every day. At the Future Whole Foods. “I’m Hikaru Sulu.” Slight pause for cashier swooning. Pays for soy milk. Chekov in line behind him mimes gagging and dying. Sulu remains unfazed.

Emma, I cannot believe I once held for you some degree of esteem.
WOW, NO, YOU’RE SO WRONG. Just because Television Trek successfully accomplished sequels, actually deals with interesting issues, was much better written, has worldbuilding which while goofy has never made me take my computer and bang it down on the bed in the hopes that it’ll somehow exorcise the Wookieepedia demon, and starred some of the best actors of their generation, and just because I thought ST:AOS was going to be my forever big-fandom boyfriend right up until Homestuck existed, does not mean that I will ever back down on this point. Lightsabers rule. You might say that phasers, if you will… drool.

Oh, but that episode is actually pretty good. Not my fave one, but still goodyou know what, you’re right. I am getting the impression that I’m going to really enjoy this
EDIT: YES INDEED I am seventeen minutes in and it’s already the funniest episode I’ve ever seen, thank you, good day
Wait. Is this City on the Edge of Forever? WOW. I ADORE YOU. Keep us posted.
I still think the funniest thing about Han Solo becoming this archetypal figure in speculative fiction, oft mimicked in science fiction and fantasy, is that so many of the imitating characters are Stone Cold Badasses respected by even those who hate them, but … Han Solo is not a Stone Cold Badass. Like, yes, that is the image he carefully cultivates, and he totally shot Greedo first, and I will not deny that he is very cool and very witty and very dashing, but he is also hilariously inept at his job, really bad at fighting and strategizing, and wholly dependent on sheer luck and the bravado and skill of others to pull his ass out of the fire. People don’t respectfully hate him; the haters think he’s annoying.
(Which is why I’ve never had a prob with Han Solo playing the comedic right hand to Leia in the third film and why I’ve always been weirded out by people who do have a problem with that. HAN SOLO IS A GOOF. HIS IDEA OF A GREAT PLAN IS TO GO RUNNING DOWN A CORRIDOR SCREAMING, GUN AT THE READY, INTO A MASS OF STORMTROOPERS. HE DISTRACTS GUARDS BY TAPPING THEM ON THE SHOULDER AND RUNNING AS FAST AS HE CAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. HIS SHIP IS A CRAPHEAP HELD TOGETHER BY PRAYERS AND DUCT TAPE.)
Yes! Yes! I have to admit that I also feel this way about AOS Kirk; there were a lot of reviews coming out at the time that were very much like “but he’s in the Han Solo vein of ACTION HEROES,” which is a hilarious combination of LIES. Kirk does not solve problems by punching them; Kirk solves problems by getting punched by them (and falling off them, bleeding on them, becoming a teen drunk over them, falling hopelessly in friendlove with them, throwing up on them, having an allergic reaction on them, and sometimes, thinking about them).
Dear Star Trek people: Here’s a picture @nprfreshair took while working at Wait Wait.
You can see the rest of my Wait Wait photos here, if you’re so inclined.
my most favorite sulu related video ever
KIRK: And by the way, Mr. Sulu. Any chance of teaching me that body throw? Could come in handy sometime.
SULU: I don’t know, sir. It isn’t just physical, y’know. You have to be … inscrutable.
KIRK: Inscrutable? Sulu … you’re the most scrutable man I know.
(oxboxer/eatfun again.)
Sulu: You… You are not about to drink vodka straight out of the bottle.
Chekov: Cup is superfluous factor in equation — Wodka vill reach my mouth either vay! Zis method is most efficient.
Sulu: (sputters)

You know what apparently we CAN’T do? Go back and retag SOME old posts, ones that have ever been in the broken queue at any point in their history, without REPUBLISHING THEM NOW. That is not helpful, tumblr! I just want to put #xing does it better on pictures!! I don’t want to spam!!!
