The appeal of Star Trek

Watch on YouTube

I can only catch a few words here and there that I think I can understand. Despite that, I now understand the universal appeal of "Star Trek" - laughter is the same in any language!

Writing considerations

Who else out there is female but prefers writing male characters to female ones, by and large? I don't mean in the sense of having someone to lust over or wish you were with - I'm talking about having empathy with that character enough to want to tell a story about him.

( Cut for yadda-ramble of the non-fandom variety - sorry to disappoint )

Any video wizards in the audience?

Or, you know, a 12-year-old? *G*

Someone good with computer stuff at any rate. I'd like to either find this new AWE clip, which keechakatt pointed out to me, somewhere else (like YouTube, which I can't seem to right now) or find a way to download it to play offline. (No, it's not the Jack and Barbossa clip - it's brand new.)

Any takers?
