Wait. Why were some Trekkies upset by the 'alternate reality' explanation of the Star Trek 2009 movie

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:38:52 -0400

dlanadhz:

I kept hearing that “Alternate realities? That’s not a Star Trek thing! omg why would Abrams do that? This isn’t Star Trek!”

But I’m on the James T. Kirk profile page on the Star Trek wiki… and this is what I’m finding:

Kirk and crew got transported during an ion storm to an alternate reality in which the Federation was an evil empire, Spock was a pirate and had a beard, and the loyalty of the crew only went as far as they found you useful, at which point they’d try to murder you.

Kirk was, at one point, stuck in an Interphase, which is described on the wiki as “a phenomenon in which the fabric of space began to break up, allowing an overlap of parallel universes on different dimensional planes.”

They went back in time to 20th century America to save whales and change the future.

Kirk and Spock traveled back to the 1930s to repair damage to the timeline accidentally caused by Leonard McCoy. In this case, McCoy created an alternate timeline that they needed to restore to the original timeline.

If we need more proof that the new movies are not disrupting the Star Trek universe anymore than any old episodes, series, or movies, please reference these lists:

A list of 54 episodes/movies in which time travel occurs.

A (marked incomplete) list of 9 episodes/movies in which there are alternate timelines.

A (marked incomplete) list of 14 episodes/movies in which there are parallel universes.

So can we all just accept that the new movies are a brand new, awesome and potential-ridden alternate universe/timeline initially set in motion by the death of his father and the captain of the USS Kelvin at the time of Kirk’s birth. Please.

Forget ‘sexy nurse’ or superhero — once upon a time, Halloween costumes were genuinely terrifying.

take a moment to realize you have never seen your face in person, just reflections and pictures

some scientists agree that if you saw a clone of yourself, you wouldn’t recognise it as you, because our idea of what we look like is so different from what we actually look like

I concur with this idea. Know why?

Because I have a clone already and I never look at her and think of myself.

Prat Extraordinaire: The Diamond of the Day- Edwin Muir:

oh-lookie:

O Merlin in your crystal cave
Deep in the diamond of the day,
Will there ever be a singer
Whose music will smooth away
The furrow drawn by Adam’s finger
Across the memory and the wave?
Or a runner who’ll outrun
Man’s long shadow driving on,
Break through the gate of memory
And hang…

awkwardsituationist:

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.

there’s still good in this world

The next time you feel down, just remember that Bruce Banner tried to kill himself and Tony Stark has anxiety attacks, and they’ve both saved the world. You will be okay.
