Dante’s Prayer. Every fucking time I just happen to watch this stupid fan vid, I end up sobbing with a Kleenex box. Why? It’s not particularly stunning, visually speaking. It simply deals with what happened in one Star Trek movie, just one. And I always go through the same routine over and over again:

*vid starts* “Ha! You won’t get me this time, Dante’s Prayer. So there’s the Bounty arriving on Vulcan, big freaking deal…this music…I feel this funny pang in my chest and now I’m thinking of how much Kirk and Spock love each other…oh god, Spock dying, Kirk alone, the Sarek mind meld and Kirk is almost crying…don’t fucking cry, focus on how it’s not that great a visual, come on, movie maker comes with these transitions…oh now Kirk’s waiting for Spock to recognize him, omifuckinggawd Spock, recognize your baby….OHSHITDONKEYS, SEPIA LAYOVERS OF THEIR GREATEST HITS OUT OF NOWHERE! HE SAID ‘JIM’! HE SAID ‘JIM’!
