We don't have to warn for spoilers for Star Trek any more do we?

I was just thinking: I've seen fic dealing with Spock Prime(*)'s relationship with Kirk (mainly from an often angsty "Kirk and Spock were together in the alternate timeline but possibly not this one, and certainly not Kirk and this Spock" POV) and I think one or two dealing with Spock Prime's relationship with reboot!Spock.

But I think it would be interesting to know how Spock Prime feels about reboot!Uhura: if they weren't together in the alternate future then it would be kind of weird, and if they were then she's the alternate past version of his dead ex which would also be weird. And how would Uhura and reboot!Spock feel knowing they never got together in the alternate future despite working together for so long? Or that they got together and broke up?

For that matter, getting past the potential for romantic angst, I think everyone would be interested in what happened to them in this alternate future, and it would be strange for Spock Prime seeing all the changes (and there are bound to be many), not just the ones that personally affect him like the death of his mother and destruction of Vulcan.

(*)The one from the alternate future, played by Leonard Nimoy

[livejournal.com profile] ataxi pointed me towards The Coolness Index, listing the top 10 songs Last FM users are ashamed to admit they like, and I was amused by the fact that I had JUST watched two vids with songs from the top 5, and another earlier in the day. And thinking about it, catchy but uncool songs are perfect for vids which want to tell a story straight and get under your skin, and poke fun of themselves at the same time, which is one of my favourite types of vid.

So, a list of cool vids with horribly uncool music :D

  • Lady Gaga Poker Face by talitha78. Star Trek XI, great Spock-centric Kirk/Spock
  • Britney Spears, Womanizer by ImaginarySanity. Star Trek:TOS. Kirk is a womanizer. Not glorious but pretty good.
  • Katy Perry, I kissed a girl by bop-radar. Smallville "Clark experiments with heterosexuality". Hilarious.
  • Lady Gaga, Just Dance by Shoopdancer, multifandom. Just dancing :)
  • Britney Spears, Circus by butterfly. Star Trek XI, Kirk's a "put on a show" kind of girl.
  • Britney Spears, Piece of Me by obsessive24. "The life and times of Britney Spears", remarkably effective.
  • Rihanna, Disturbia by xCraZy18gurlx. Final Fantasy XII, Balthier/Fran. Ok, this is a total cheesey guilty pleasure but enjoyable for what it is :)
  • Lady Gaga, Paparazzi
  • Lady Gaga, Lovegame


Anyone got vids recs for the other songs? EDIT: See comments for some more alternatives.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a "Womanizer" vid for a fandom I'm not in at some point. EDIT: Found it:Akanishi Jin fanvid. Don't really like it that much, though the syncing of one pop star's dances to another's song was fairly well done.
