First Class and Star Trek Grab Bag
Jun. 25th, 2011 01:15 pmIt's been awhile since I've done one of these grab bag posts and I assure you, I have lots of links built up but...we'll stick to somewhat of a theme today. AKA, my love for First Class and Star Trek.
As a note...I think I know why I ended up loving Charles/Erik so much (beyond the obvious chemistry, the script, the tragedy, the AWESOMENESS). While the characters themselves are nothing like Kirk and Spock (Charles and Erik are both emotional, simply in different ways and they're not different species) in some manners they are remarkably alike. First and foremost: they're "old friends". In the Reboot, Spock Prime calls Kirk "old friend". I nearly died, I laughed so hard. I mean, perfection. And then you do have sort of the frat boy versus the stoic personality (but where both men are actually incredibly smart - of course the roles are somewhat reversed with Charles being the frat boy with the PhD and Erik being the stoic one without any particular claim to how smart he really is), there's chess, there's a culture clash, and then there's that whole ability to have mind!sex. Ah, telepathy. It's just a shame Charles doesn't come with pon farr. I love the desperation. *shark grin*
Anyway.
1. My Little Ponies Does First Class. No, Really.
It's like crack!fic. Made into a video. I wouldn't be surprised if a Castiel fan made it, 'cause, PONIES. I particularly love how it looks like they're saying the actual words, and how after pony!Erik's "peace was never an option" we see them launching pies. PIES, MOTHER FUCKERS. It's hilarious.
2. In Which Charles and Erik Apologize.
Dear, Erik. Stop trying to kill our children.
3. pg. 562, Volume 3, The Autobiography of Magneto X by Erik Lensherr
Wherein Magneto sounds like a 15 year old girl, but manages to point out glaring WTF moments of the movie (why did they cart that chess board all over DC?). Also, we find out Erik's true evil plan: chess boards everywhere.
4. Star Trek Captains Documentary
That's right, there's going to be a documentary featuring William Shatner and all the former Star Trek captains. *grabby hands* DO WANT. But more importantly, Chris Pine is "shy" and there is arm wrestling. ♥ (Also, Chris looks like a dashing mountain man. UNF.)
5. Star Trek (in 47 Seconds)
"Must you keep hanging from things?" So, I just rewatched the Reboot and...SO TRUE. Also, the ending is HILARIOUS.
