30 Day Photo Meme: Day 30

[jedibuttercup]

And here we are: the very last day of the meme. I hope you've enjoyed the pictures - thank you to those of you who've commented over the last thirty days! I've had fun sharing them with you.

Went literal with two of these, and metaphorical on the last. :)

Day 30 - a photo of something big


Calamity Jane: My brother with the B-52 Stratofortress on display in Mobile, Alabama.(June, 2009)


Hoover Dam: responsible for impounding the largest reservoir in the US, by volume. I didn't see any signs of Megatron or the All-Spark on our tour, but it was still a pretty awe-inspiring sight. :) (October, 2012)


And last but not least, William Shatner (at Portland ComicCon). I grew up on reruns of Classic Trek, so I'm a Kirk fan from way back; and whatever else you think of him, The Shat is one of those larger-than-life people. (January, 2014)

My first intro to Trek was as a toddler watching the reruns. People ask me what Captain? And I'm like CAPTAIN KIRK OF COURSE, no, not movie Kirk; not even nu!movie!Kirk, CLASSIC TV KIRK, dramatic pauses and ripped t-shirts and heavy eyeliner and all, he's a surprisingly intelligent character if you pay attention past the pretty and the drama! And hello, the pretty!

... So, yeah. Major persistent crush on early!Shatner, despite the fact that I'm of the generation who were largely contemporary fangirls of TNG. Spock had his good points; but it was Kirk for me from Day 1.

As far as TNG went, the Picard + Riker show always seemed to me as though they took the intelligent parts of both Kirk and Spock to form Picard, and the sexy and ... second-in-commandish? ... leftovers got poured into Riker, meaning that while Picard is a well-rounded and admirable character in his way, as a command team Kirk + Spock will still always win 100% of the time.
