May. 19th, 2009 10:02 pmIt's weird. While I'm packing and planning for a trip, I'm always giddy. When the car is packed and it's just a matter of getting from A to B, I go numb.
I'm not horrified by the Sherlock Holmes trailer. It looks entertaining. Point and laugh at the pretty pictures entertaining, but still, an amusing way of killing a couple hours, as long as I keep a firm grip on the fact that it's an alternate universe of an alternate universe of a fictional character.
Glee looks like it's going to be a ton of fun of the "enjoy it thoroughly, not ironically" sort. So does Star Trek, and (gotta root for the home team) A Night At The Museum II. (There was a fun article about that in today's USA Today, where the director said he's getting cold calls from museums begging to be the site of #3.) However - I think I'm heretically going to wait for Netflix. That's what I'm paying Netflix for.
Not having seen the movie is not going to stop me from passing on a bunch of fic recs from the flist:

jinxed_wood's Doctor Who/RebooTrek mashup Spanner in the Works.
Martha loved Starfleet. It was like working for UNIT without all the bad bits, and lots of shiny toys. She was working on a starship which had thirteen different species in the crew alone, and had a science and medical crew that were even geekier than she was.
loneraven's RebooTrek only A Formal Dance In The Bowling Alley.
Here are some things that James Tiberius Kirk, Captain, does not understand about the USS Enterprise and her crew.
And other interesting links:
fajrdrako is working out the Latin for Time Lord.
First Neil Gaiman wrote a blog post that's going viral, George RR Martin is not your bitch about fannish entitlement issues. That spawns this hilarious entry at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metaquotes:
liamstliam: This reminds me somewhat of Laurell K. Hamilton's approach when people criticized the direction of her books after No. 8 ("Anita Jumps The Shark").
catnip13: Wait, I don't remember a shark ... Leopards, wolves, dead guys. I think I would have remembered the wereshark.
Check the comments. But move all drinks first.
