Saw the first two episodes of the new Star Trek and overall am cautiously optimistic. Despite the stupidly extravagant budget, the drunken camera angles, the tedious and unnecessary scenes on the Klingon ship, and the criminal under-use of Michelle Yeoh. But.

It's actually happening.

And it's happening with Michelle Yeoh.

Attention internets:

I kinda love Agents of SHIELD.

You know what it's strangely reminding me of? Star Trek. If Joss Whedon wrote Star Trek. Get your head around that if you can.

Anybody who knows any hidden pools of SHIELD squee, I'd greatly appreciate a point in the right direction, because I spent an hour last night just trying to find a comm. Or some icons. I know everybody hates this show now, but how do you not have a friggin comm?

Am I in the wrong place? Do I need to be on Tumblr or something? *shudder*

So, against all good sense and despite the fact that I have a million papers to grade and quite a bit of unfinished HIMYM fic to write, I am working on a fic for the new Star Trek.  I really just need to cut myself off from all media before I loose my job and my sanity to another fandom.  *sigh*

Anyway, as the new Star Trek fandom is *bloody, freakin huge* and therefore somewhat scary, I want to test out some bits in friendly territory.  So, dear flist, please tell me what you think, be it "I love it" or "I hate it" or "I have no idea what the f*ck you're doing" or "Promethia, you ridiculous English major, get your head out of your ass and sell your Norton anthologies and stop writing this trippy, wanna-be literary crap."  All feedback welcome.

Title: Quickie
Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Characters/Pairings: Spock/Uhura
Rating: PG-13

Summary: See title.  No spoilers beyond the pairing.
Author's Note: Utter fluff.  Short and silly and written to get a plot bunny out of my head.  My apologies to my flist; I know you want HIMYM.  Work is still all-consuming at the moment.  Normal service will resume mid-June when school's out.  I miss you all.
