I am of Mexican and Irish decent and grew up with a large Mexican family in America. I have been a Star Trek Fan since about 1991 or 92. The Original Series is my… interesting thoughts. Thanks, stranger, for the perspective.

quazza: i am reminded that english is a flawed language every time I am forced to use “that that” in a sentence English is a vampire. It sucks the life blood from other languages with a raging thirst that has kept it alive and slowly taking over the world for millennia.

Your Daily Gross-Out

How many fans of Benedict Cumberbatch are on...
boggartsaremyboggarts: Reblog if you are a Cumberbabe, Cumberbitch, member of the Cumbercollective etc. I wasn’t going to do it, have scrolled past once today already, but I can’t avoid the truth anymore. Time to admit once & for all: I am part of the Collective. (I am neither babe nor bitch, sorry.) I am a fangirl.  Dammit.

Remembrance of Things Past
It’s possible I just referenced Proust in a whatsapp chat about cupcakes. It’s more than likely no one got it. I don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed. Also, I really want a madeleine now.

40yr-old-fangirl: lovingmarlseveryminute: I feel proud that my english teacher has posters of david tennant and pictures of RDJ, emma watson, logan lerman, daniel radcliffe, rupert grint, benedict cumberbatch etc plastered all over her classroom. And a bunch of tv show posters like sherlock, perks, harry potter on top of that. I bet she’s on Tumblr, too I am.

Star Trek Into Darkness: Khan's Actor →
bennypants: iexisttherefore: Benicio Del Toro was in early talks for the role of John Harrison, but eventually declined due to monetary issues. Demián Bichir, Édgar Ramírez and Jordi Mollà were considered afterwards, before Benedict Cumberbatch was finally cast.  So yes. Please. Don’t be a jerk, stop with the whitewashing “facts” and get on with your lives. How about finding something a bit...

Almost caught up with Supernatural
watching season 7 today. Seasons 4.5-6 were a trifle tedious, if I may say so. 7 starts loads more interesting.

faineemae: confusedtree said:  I just got back from seeing it and when he goes “my name is Khan” my sister and I laughed and were like “no it fucking isn’t” Yes, that line nearly took me completely out of the film. Even though I knew before I saw Star Trek, and even though I’m a fan of the actor, and even though he’s actually quite a brilliant actor, Khan Noonien Singh?...

akwhard: does anyone else find it awkward emailing teachers like are you supposed to say hey, or hi or use their name or say love from at the end? My students all start with “Hi Miss” or just “Miss” and end with “thank you” and sometimes their name. I don’t understand what is confusing here.

fabubbly: i dont think americans realize that sherlock and doctor who arent the only shows on the BBC and by saying you like the BBC any british person could assume you’re talking about the a to z of tv gardening or countryfile Or QI and Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Mock the Week. For the longest time, BBC = quiz shows for me!
