Star Trek Reboot

[bluflamingo]

I don't know if anyone reading this is a Star Trek Reboot fan, but I'm guessing someone is, so... would anyone have time to give a quick read through to a 1500 word Kirk/McCoy fic for torachan's transfic mini-fest, preferaby by the end of the month?

New fandom is making me nervous, especially with, you know, *decades* of history that I don't know at all (what is it with me and coming in at the end of something? Like SG1 wasn't bad enough!).

That said, I love the film so much, despite my lack of Trek knowledge - seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a single episode of any of the TV series. Do I have to hand in my sci-fi fan badge now? But I love that they're all *smart* - I mean, them being the Enterprise crew at the end is still implausible, but less so. And Uhura is awesome (I love Zoe Saldana, ever since I saw Center Stage), and so is Captain Pike (I'm not the only one who's really, really strongly reminded of Gibbs from NCIS whenever he's on screen, right?).

And Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise.

I love that line, it makes me grin every time he says it.

I like Kirk being smart, but truthfully, the whole rebellious leader thing irritates me

Yeah, in real life I'd probably hate him.

Also possibly why Picard is my favourite captain. (Though if you're not familiar with the rest of Star Trek, that probably doesn't mean anything to you.)

Picard is...Next Generation? And I think the guy who played him acts at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, though I wouldn't bet anything of importance on that.

Yes, and probably yes. Patrick Stewart is very much a Shakespearian actor, so it makes sense that he'd act at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
