Secret 1 - Galaxy Quest (film)

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is a poster? from the movie "Galaxy Quest" and the talking crustacean creature "Zoidberg" from the cartoon "Futurama", from the meme "Why not Zoidberg?"]

I irrationally resent all the The Original Series-Reboot fic because I spend all the time thinking, "Why not Galaxy Quest?" Irrational, I know! The two are unrelated!

There is so much potential for Galaxy Quest fics... [sad face emoticon]

super-advance spaceship crash omg

[forgottenjester]

The problem is that you would need to have a revitalization of Galaxy Quest fandom. I'm not exactly sure how you would do that without it having its own reboot or something and I'm sure not many people want that.

[helenadax]

At least there's going to be a sequel soon.

[forgottenjester]

There is? I don't know how I feel about that.

[(Anonymous)]

This is the first I am hearing of this, and I'm excited! They could absolutely skewer the Star Trek reboot. It would be pure, solid, gold. (Three words: LENS FLARE JOKES. AAAAAAAAAALLLLL the lens flare jokes.)

[forgottenjester]

Ooooo~ When you put it like that it sounds delightful.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering GQ was meant to skewer Trek (in a loving way) in the first place, I definitely think they would be remiss if they didn't skewer the reboot in a snarky way. Because. You know. The reboot sucks. XD

[forgottenjester]

This all is very true. I just get scared with sequels. But if they do it right I have nothing to fear.

[helenadax]

Sorry, but I was mistaken :( I mixed up Galaxy Quest and Guardians of the Galaxy. My bad!

[forgottenjester]

Aaaawwwwww, well, okay. Everyone makes mistakes. :3

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

Yeah, it was called "Into Darkness".

[(Anonymous)]

What would be fun would be some parody mini-episodes representing the new version of the show we see at the end of the movie, or an in-universe fake trailer for a GQ movie.

[forgottenjester]

Oooohhhh, you know. I think I could get behind that if it was done right. Sounds fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I have nothing to say about this secret except that Galaxy Quest was nearly perfect in every way.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

IDGI (the secret) either, but GQ is second only to Bill and Ted, in my books.

[fingalsanteater]

Because one is Star Trek and one is a parody of Star Trek and fandom. It's like looking at the Star Wars fandom and saying "Why not Space Balls?"

[pts]

There's always a few GQ fics in Yuletide. This one was really fun, although maybe not in the way you're hoping for.

[hands4healing]

Come sit with me, anon, and we'll plot together.

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

I think it is fair to say that the reboot movies are a bigger pastiche of the Star Trek series than even Galaxy Quest was. Trouble is, GQ admitted being a pastiche, and made the most of it, the reboots actually think they are doing it straight.

[(Anonymous)]

The first thing I did after seeing Galaxy Quest AGES after it came out, was to rush to the internet because I was CERTAIN that I would be able to find awesome fics (and a great variety of types of awesome fic) slashing Alan Rickman's character with his alien fan / mentee. Oh there was SO MUCH potential. SO FUCKING MUCH. Where was the alien biology! porn? The angst about losing his alien lover? The long!fic about getting him back to life? The hurt!comfort fic? The romantic fic where they're both so in love but there's URST because the one can't bear to reveal he's an actor and the other is totally a virginal lil thing? SO MUCH POTENTIAL, PEOPLE!!!!

And I didn't find a single solitary fucking thing.

Not even a drabble.

This makes me so sad I can't even.

So I am not only SECONDING your secret and sending you all my commiseration and love, but also trying to HIJACK it into requests for any and all recs people might have to make me happy.

OMG THANK YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

aww man I wrote so much fic

[(Anonymous)]

that stayed decently on my computer cause I was like 12 and it was appalling dreck

and then I wrote a paper in college about the movie and rekindled my interest

perhaps some day I will rehaul some of the shameless h/c (very very shameless)

[bur]

I resent TOS reboot fic because most of it is written like the characters are teenagers instead of military-esque scientists tasked with diplomatic and exploratory missions on behalf of a multi-system governing agent.

...then again, the reboot movies themselves have a bit of this problem.

YAY GALAXY QUEST!
