Fandom!Secrets

So I was on fandomsecrets because it was referenced in another comm and I saw this: ( LJ Cut for pic!spam )

And ZOMG, what? There's another Fullmetal Alchemist?! I will have to check this out.I am so out of the loop when it comes to anime...

Spock/Uhura

Okay, so this has kind of been bothering me for a while about Spock/Uhura and I just have to voice it now. First of all, I'm not a Spock/Uhura hater and I'm not saying this because it's her. I would be noting this no matter who the other partner was. *coughKirkcough* The problem that I am seriously having with this pairing?

During the entire movie Uhura is a cadet and Spock is her teacher.

I don't know when they started their relationship, but I have to say that I can't see Spock agreeing to it at all because of this one reason, forget any other reasons out there. I can't believe that he was so taken with Uhura, so in love, that he would flout regulation (because I'm sure there are probably multiple regulations against cadets and their teachers becoming romantically involved) and do the most illogical thing of going out with a cadet. This isn't to say that I see all possibilities of them getting together as illogical or a bad choice. It just means that while they were/are still in the relationship of cadet/teacher, student/mentor that I do not see it as something Spock would choose. I know that this Spock is one who does not yet have the control over his emotions as TOS!Spock had, but he is still a Spock who has chosen to follow his father's culture, even if he did join Starfleet.

I have only gotten through 20 or so episodes from the first season of TOS and am slowly working my way through the rest, so I don't know how their relationship was after what I've seen, but I did notice Uhura's flirty behavior and apparent attraction to Spock on TOS. So, it's not like I don't see where the basis of their STXI relationship comes from.

Am I being too picky or biased or something? It's just starting to really bother me whenever I think about them together. (It's okay if you guys think I'm wrong/delusional/crazy, I don't mind. Much.)

Bones!

No, I'm not talking about McCoy this time. XP

Just finished watching the season finale of Bones and can I just say how much I freaking loved this episode! It rocked so hard.

( Thoughts with spoilers for the episode. )

I'm so glad that I started watching Bones again. They really made me mad with the whole Zach thing and then with what they did with Angela and Hodgens (and then what they did with Angela after that), but I ship Booth and Brennan so freaking bad that I knew I would eventually come back after a lot of griping and such. And this episode just totally made me forgive them a little for all the other crap they did previously. Because it rocked.

Yeah, just had to fangirl a little.

Bones Demand

I just want to take a moment of your time to say that this "early concept art from a Star Trek prequel called 'The First Adventure' that was planned in the early '90s but never came to fruition" totally needs to be incorporated in STXII. I demand shirtless!Urban!Bones!
