Star Trek is nearly 50 years old now and it’s been around for so long because I think it offers hope for us as a species. The thing people have always been attracted to (with Star Trek) is the idea that we might live beyond this age of conflict and uncertainty. And it’s not only that, but it’s also the ability to work together and live in a world where everyone is accepted no matter who you are.
The original series with Gene Roddenberry was incredibly progressive. It started barely 20 years after the end of World War II, with a Japanese officer aboard the Enterprise, a black woman in charge of an entire division, and a Russian on board—albeit in subordinate roles, but it was an incredibly progressive move. It offered this utopian idea of cooperation and that’s always going to be something to strive toward until we actually achieve it. In that respect, Star Trek will never go out of fashion.

1) angels fell from the sky and my favorite angel got turned human
2) Delena became official! And Stefan is a doppelgänger.
3) Star Trek into Darkness turned out to be a remix of my favorite original Star Trek movie ever. Bonus: Benedict Cumberbatch.
4) River Song is gone for good and I don’t even want to think about how that episode ended.
So pretty much a mixed bag filled with emotions and feelings.
My roommate is voluntarily watching Doctor Who with no prompting. I don’t want to scare her away and its taking everything in me to not over explain stuff and get freakishly into it .
I may have failed when I was in this exact situation.

“I know about parabatai,” said Magnus, an angry, dark undercurrent to his voice. “I’ve known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the one that’s left —?” - Magnus Bane, City of Lost Souls.
