*hugs internet*

andrasteGreetings, everyone! I am not dead! I have merely been stuck in the country with a horrible cold and terrible internet reception. (Even once I got my DNS issues sorted, turns out the network would only let me log on when nobody in town was using their mobile, or so it seemed.)
It only takes a few days in the country before I remember all of the reasons I've lived in the city for ten years. Libraries that are open every day! Movie theatres! Toy stores! Easy access to food! (I could not buy sheep's milk cheese or preserved lemons where I was. This is clearly unacceptable.) Most importantly my desktop and a semi-reliable internet connection. I owe several of you comment replies, which I will get to in due course. (In particular, to people who read That Thing I posted under lock: thank you so much! Your comments are so useful, I will respond to them ASAP. To people who asked to read That Thing and haven't seen it yet, the crosspost to Livejournal didn't work. I'm making a few more revisions and will try it again soon.)
I am in the process of catching up on everything I missed while I was gone - I've seen the season finales of House and Fringe, perhaps more later. All caught up on Transformers: Animated, which I will post about when it's all done next week, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which I really should squee about here soon.
I've not managed to see Wolverine: Origins yet, because I elected to go see Star Trek this afternoon instead. I enjoyed it immensely. Funny, pacey and engaging even if TOS is not your Trek of choice. (I'm a DS9 girl.)
... so, I guess either Spock's engagement was broken off earlier in this timeline or T'Pring didn't make it off Vulcan. Or there's a going to be a very awkward conversation in the near future. I think the former possibilities are more likely; even given his state of mind it would seem deeply unwise to show his feelings for Uhura in front of people if he's still technically bonded to someone else.
I approve of Spock/Uhura on the grounds that they are awesome and ridiculously pretty, although it would have been nice if Uhura had more to do than make out with a guy. Also, Kirk's reaction to Spock getting the girl was priceless. Acknowledgement of what many fangirls have been thinking since the sixties?
