I’m really glad someone figured this out and put it in order. =)

#omfg you don’t understand though#that is like my favorite episode#i was so excited when i thought he was gary mitchell#i still wish that’s who the villain was

Same omfg.

Like, exactly the same. I was so excited when he was Gary Mitchell… then he wasn’t. (I’m just glad I found out before I saw it… the one time a spoiler is a good thing.)

Basically, my singular disappointment in this film was that Benedict Cumberbatch was Khan. Because he was fantastic, but why was he Khan.

If they were going to actual redo a specific baddie from the original I really wish it had been Gary Mitchell because he also would have been fucking perfect as Gary Mitchell.

yes yes yes all of this. Those were mte while watching the movie, “Benny, I’ve got nothing against you, but WHY ARE YOU KHAN?”

for some reason tumblr is not letting me copy your tags today but here: I still like my own scenario best where he was actually Khan’s righthand man getting revenge for Khan actually being woken up and killed but that’s only because the rest of the movie was fucking awesome and it would have allowed it to basically be the same movie Star Trek spoilers

Those tags are perfection, I shall accept them as headcanon when I go to see the movie again on Tuesday.

Marcus woke up the real Khan but killed him when he tried to get back at them and free the others, but Khan had set up a dead man’s switch to wake up his right hand man - Benedict Cumberbatch - and send him a message explaining everything that happened. This righthand man proceeded to go for revenge against Marcus and all of Starfleet for killing their leader while simultaneously trying to get all his popsicle buddies back. Marcus finds out, sets up the whole framejob for Kirk to take him out and hide both the whole cryodudes thing in the first place but also his killing of the guy he woke up and get his war in the process. And then the rest of the movie carries on as before, only with a few lines in Benedict Cumberbatch’s fabulously dramatic and convincing voice telling us about how Marcus killed their beloved leader just so he could start a war, and with EVEN MOAR REVENGE.

That’s my alternative version headcanon and I’m sticking with it.

Lara Parker’s next Dark Shadows novel, WOLF MOON RISING, will be out in August. I got my hands on an advance copy of the book (courtesy of Mrs. Parker) and it’s INSANE. I’ll have a formal review coming later, but here’s a few teasers:
* Barnabas is back in full-on villain mode and does some truly horrible shit to people. Taking a power saw to someone’s throat is the least of his crimes in this book.
* Ever wanted to see young flapper Liz, riding the sideboards of a luxury car in the 1920s and having a gunfight with bootleggers? Done.
* One of the show’s original characters falls into the hands of a vivisectionist.
* Incest. And not the “accident of continuity” kind of incest that happened from time to time in Dark Shadows. The actual “I-word” is used.
* Grotesque continuity violations that, somehow, didn’t bother me.
Anyway, the book will be out in August, and you can pre-order it HERE.


omfg.

i haven’t seen the episode yet so i’m just scrolling through the wreckage simultaneously popcorning and grimacing

I’m pretty much just popcorning my way through all this because for me Doctor Who is like Dark Shadows in that I can’t accept anything that happens as actual srs bsns. As long as I don’t actively hate the Doctor or any of his current companions, ANYTHING GOES.

doctor who is EXACTLY like dark shadows for me in that “No, of course it’s not srs bsns, I’m here for the wacky monsters and wacky adventures through time and guys have you seen this show oh my god this show” but then I accidentally start like ~caring about fictional characters and then it’s just TEDIOUS to watch when the continuity flipflops all over the goddamn place and ugh guys come on i’m here for giant floating heads and occasionally crying at things

How is this exactly me.
