First day at my new job. It turns out that the schedule that was too good to be true was too good to be true. Still, getting off at 3:00 pm? Even on Saturday, that is still damn fine hours. Plus, I think I'll be able to get the time off I need to visit friends.

I finished the latest season of Bones. I'm not entirely sure what I think. I do know I adored the episodes leading up to the finale, but I am uncertain about the penultimate episode as well as the season finale. So I'd love to hear your thoughts, flist.

This is a community for fanwork dedicated to the women of Star Trek, particularly those of the 2009 film. Our ongoing mission: to seek out personalities not defined by their husbands and sons, to explore the lives lived only offscreen, to boldly go where all of these women should have gone before.

The Proper Treatment of Sexoria by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Besides being funny as hell, this is a great slice of life about Gaila. I enjoyed her unique perspective on things and her longing for friendship, as well as the chance to see Uhura struggling and stressed instead of perfectly on top of everything. Additionally, the bit of Gaila and Spock interaction is choice - it make total sense that he would be able to handle Gaila's cultural differences with equanimity.

Another great look at Gaila - this one from a darker point-of-view with Gaila dealing with a lecture on Orions. I'm not thrilled with the Kirk cameo at the end (honestly, he comes across as more sleazy than sweet) but otherwise an excellent look at what it must feel like to have your culture dissected and discussed by another race.

Not only the best Uhura/Spock I've read, this is the best character study of Uhura I've read. The author spends a delicious amount of time showing us Uhura in all facets of her life - as an intellectual, as a cadet on the fast track, as well as giving a glimpse at her social life (not relating to Spock). Additionally, Spock's reflections on Amanda Grayson's life and struggles are deeply interesting both for what his assumptions reveal about his perspective on Vulcan as well as his beliefs about the effects a relationship with Uhura would have on him.
