Lincoln: You happy?
Altlivia: Yeah, I am.
Lincoln: Good, then I am too.

My favourite thing about these two was that they were awesome even if they didn’t get together, they just worked so well as the best friends happy for each other to be happy even if there was a little underlying angst on his side.

THIS SCENE WAS LITERALLY THE TEXTBOOK DEFINITION

#you know it’s bad when you’re less progressive than a show from the 60’s

that ran through my head when I saw this scene, seriously…

My thought, too. Then I figured that perhaps this was for all of the dudebros who were panicking about their sexuality because of Benedict Cumberbatch. They could blame those awkward boners on Miss Eve, instead.

Seth Gabel & DSM

Tue, 21 May 2013 15:10:00 +0100

So I watched Disc 1 of Season 1 of “Dirty Sexy Money” last night. Definitely my new guilty pleasure show. I don’t want to like any of the characters but somehow the writing has me feeling sorry for and interested in them. Some great lines in there too, especially love the twins interaction and Brian’s dedication to his lies. It feels half Gossip Girl and half Arrested Development. Also, Seth Gabel’s character is hella messed up but somehow sweet.

Listened to the 1x01 commentary while I could but beware it has 1x09 spoilers! Luckily I’d already correctly guessed the thing in question so little surprise there. Commentary was good too. I’m looking forward to more episodes but sad to read there’s only 10 in S1 and 13 in S2. Such a short show. I hope at least it got a decent ending and not a cliffhanger. The mystery must be solved!

Also my DVD for “Allegiance” turned up, though I won’t have much chance to watch until my day off Thursday. Disc 1 of S1 of Nip/Tuck is winging its way to me too - meant to watch that show for ages (and Seth is in S2 that I will eventually get to).

Star Trek Into Darkness: Too many dicks on the Enterprise.

Star Trek Into Darkness: Too many dicks on the Enterprise. :

strawberrypatty:

Over the years, various Star Trek movies have attempted to redress the gender imbalance in the original crew of the Enterprise. With one woman and six men in the core cast, it’s already kind of a sausage-fest. This movie adds Carol Marcus, played by Alice Eve, but although her role is that of a scientist and a Starfleet officer, she isn’t exactly treated with respect. Not only does she have a completely gratuitous semi-nude scene halfway through the movie, but McCoy hits on her while she’s trying to defuse a bomb. Oh, and her most important role in the movie is governed by her relationship with a male character—her father.

Other than Carol Marcus and Uhura, there pretty much aren’t any women at all in Into Darkness. Seriously. At the beginning of the movie we see Noel Clarke’s comatose daughter and grieving wife, and later on Kirk has a threesome with two hot alien chicks—part of Abrams’ image of Kirk as “a player,” which somehow sounds a lot douchier than Kirk’s admittedly flirtatious characterization in the original series. Onboard the Enterprise we do see a new female helmsman (helmswoman?), but unlike the male background officers, she doesn’t get any lines.

I actually understand a lack of interest in adding women to the core crew of the Enterprise. Those roles are already filled: by Kirk, Spock, Bones, and the rest. But when it comes to side characters and antagonists, almost every single one is male, for no discernable reason. At one point, we see one of the main villains in the captain’s chair of a ship that seems to be crewed entirely by men. Earlier, Kirk, Spock and Uhura are confronted by a platoon of Klingons—all apparently male as well. Are we expected to believe that a mysterious plague has wiped out 75% of the women in the galaxy? Throw me a bone, here. [READ MORE]

Not shocking.

This is the first Star Trek movie I actively do not want to see.

I’m cutting JJ Abram’s rebooted universe from my understanding of Star Trek. This isn’t Star Trek. I don’t know what the fuck it is. It is bullshit, it’s sexist, it compromises everything the series stands for, and Gene Roddenberry is spinning in his grave at warp speed that this crap is made under the title of his brainchild.

I don’t know. I was very much like… I like the parts I like, but there were lots of parts that didn’t need to be so “Ho ho ho, boys club.” And the race-fail. I mean, Cumberbatch turned in an excellent performance. And if it had been ANY other bad guy with ANY other name, I would have been like…. yaay! But it was Khan. Khan from the TV series and Khan from the second movie. And it was just… urgh. Why did we have to get the poshest, most over-privileged whitest white guy on the known planet for this?

Though I did find it amusing that McCoy created his own problem with the Tribbles. That made me lolz.

I’m telling you, when those Cryo-Tubes open up, the real Khan is going to look over the records on him and then look at Benedict’s character and go “Harrison… WTF?”

Movie would have been a thousand times more palpable if they’d just kept him as Harrison and showed a tube with real Khan in it, implying that HARRISON IS NOT AS BAD AS IT GETS. But since that doesn’t happen, I’m going to fanwank it because I thought Benedict did a marvelous job.

And I’ve seriously had straight men who asked me what the fuck was the point of Alice Eve’s underwear scene. There was NOTHING revealed in it. And what the fuck kind of dumbass don’t say “turn around, I’m changing.”?
