Shortly after this morning’s staff meeting, I was typing away innocently at my laptop when I heard a commotion in the corridor outside. I leaped to my feet and ran to the door. In my experience of commotions in the mansion, they were generally well worth witnessing. I proceeded to see one of the oddest things I have ever seen.
The Star Trek 2009 (or was it 2008? I’ve forgotten…) version of Captain James Kirk was running down the hall in a state of some high emotion, though I’m not sure if it was terror, annoyance, or rage. Terror would have been quite acceptable and no detriment to anyone’s opinion of his manliness, as it turns out: Obi-Wan was after him in a flat-out fury, throwing things (such as Arthur’s pewter goblets, a bunch of sofa pillows, discarded garments, and Hon Rosie’s seedcakes and Thunderbeak’s rock-hard scones, among other things) at him, shouting imprecations at him in both Sindarin and Shendi. I was too amazed and bewildered by the spectacle to do anything, let alone intervene. Legolas shook his head as he made his way over to me. “The only person who does a better job of making a fool of himself is Jack Sparrow,” he said.
“Please tell me he’s not invading as well!” I groaned.
“Technically the Trekkers are not invading,” Legolas explained. “They’re authorized.”
“But I haven’t even seen Star Trek except for a few stray clips!” I protested.
“They’re authorized,” Legolas repeated. “Doesn’t mean they’re recognized.”
“Technically, the Elf is right,” Spock agreed, turning up nearby. I blanched.
“I think I’ve lost it. I should go see Galadriel.”
“I think it’s hilarious,” Kysherin said unhelpfully in her painfully whiny, reedy voice. I scowled at her.
“Shut up. I have a headache.”
“Galadriel’s a shrink! Galadriel’s a shrink!” Kysherin squeaked in a noxious chant. I pounced, fully intending to do murder on her miserable person.
“I will never be able to understand why humans react so to overcast days,” Spock observed.
“I’d give ’em all Vitamin D supplements,” Dr. McCoy added unhelpfully.
“Shut up,” I said, running off into my room and slamming the door. Now all I needed to do was bury myself alone in my story for several hours and I’d be fine at last.
Authorized but not recognized?
Actually, I like Mr. Spock…
What? After all that you didn’t actually tell us what the words were? Oh, meani – GTG.
That’s what happens when a fandom is at the door and your parents are okay with it but you technically have not yet gotten… involved… 😛
Yeah… 😛 I need to watch Star Trek actually, apparently. 😛
Well, part of it I wouldn’t want to translate, and the other part… He was just going too fast! I couldn’t understand. I’m not quite that fluent. :-S
Okay.
Oh! So sad.
😛
It’s kind of funny, actually. 😛
I wonder what Kirk did to get Obi-Wan so upset.
So do I. *scratches head*
He was probably telling a story the younglings didn’t need to hear.
Probably. Especially if it involved pink…. 0_0
*conspiracy theory face*
😛
Pink? Really? 😛
*says in sinister voice* Mind your thoughts, young Padawan…
I move that it was nothing he DID, simply who he is. Go here:www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm and scroll to Question 1 Part 2. Could explain Obi-Wan’s feelings.
Oh. 0_0 Eww.
Or, too, it could be a combination of things. Maybe Anakin and Quinlan were both jangling on the nerves, and Ahsoka asked him to help with an especially frustrating math question, and Uther Pendragon started chewing him out about the way he raised Anakin (of COURSE Uther would not approve!) and then Tarkin happened… Kirk doing ANYTHING could very well just be the last straw.
Er… yes, maybe.
It’s possible.
Oh. 0_0 Eww.

Ah. Yeah. That would explain it.
0_0 Yikes.
*laughing* Well! It’s neat to see all the characters together. I agree about that scary elf woman…
Which scary elf woman? Oh, Galadriel? She’s not that scary… just intimidating. 😛
Sometimes I wonder if she’s working for the Dark Lord.
Oh no, not Galadriel. (You’ve read the books, haven’t you?) She’s not intentionally dangerous. She’s just dangerous to mortals, not of her own will, but because of what she is.
Basically, in essence, she is perilous, but she doesn’t mean to be. Make sense? (I hope so…)
I see what you’re saying, and I have read the books. It just seems the movie character is meaner!
Yeah…the character in the movie is a little less forgiving. But maybe that’s just the way Cate Blanchett looks. She is scary.
You should see her as Col. Dr. Spalko in Indiana Jones 4.
I like her better in that then as Galadriel I think.
…really?
Captain James T Kirk! Never Captain James Kirk!
Always Kirk, Captain, Captain Kirk, Jim, Captain James Tiberius Perfecthair, or Captain James T Kirk of the starship Enterprise.
And it’s trekkies not trekkers.
Corrections now completed.
Funny story, though I dare say it got a bit out of hand 🙂
I forget if it was 2008 or 2009 as well….
Dare I ask what happens next? 😉
Okay, okay! 😛
I have no clue. Mainly because I don’t know what Kirk did to Obi-Wan.. oh no… *whispers* Pink? Perhaps. Pink that led to… racy comments? That’s out of hand, all right! 0_0
What? What does pink have to do with anything?! you lost me…
Pink. 0_0
A Study In?
No, just… Pink. Hot, neon pink is the root of all evil. Really, it’s surprising that we never see a Sith in neon pink. 😛
