May. 13th, 2013 09:10 pmI have feelings about Star Trek Into Darkness. ALL OF THE FEELINGS. I have spent the weekend attempting to make them coherant in my brain.
Some things first, though: going to Wood Green in costume is terrifying, but it made the lady at the Vue cinemas night. She actually came over to us to ask if we cosplayed anything else, and it was a beautiful moment of 'Aha, we are in the same tribe here!' Unfortunately, the Wood Green audience including two people who annoyed Fiona most of the night, and the couple next to me who were basically having sex at one point. Look, we all find Star Trek sexy but try and have some perspective, people!
( Please find below an actual review with massive, massive spoilers! )
I have even longer thoughts about Star Trek, but these are the first ones I've processed. One thing is definite: I totally, totally need to see it again.
I had a very busy week, outside of Trek. On Thursday we had a Company Event Evening, which was some boring talks and then a lot of drinks at the venue, so a lot of sore heads in work the next day, not least mine. I ended up really enjoying it, though, because I talked to more people than I normally do, and quite a lot about geeky stuff. The weekend was more socialising, too. This week I'm going to try and keep my head down and catch up on sleep, because this weekend we have visitors and next week is Collectormania and I have yet to finalise my Thor costume. Have I mentioned this before? I now have all of the components of the costume, but I need to, ah, upgrade the cape for the final look of the thing. It will hopefully be awesome, but we'll see.
