This is a "sundry flight of whimsy" week while I work on more serious stuff for later posts.

I've been a major contributor (39 so far by my count) to the r/FullMovieGifs subreddit; my latest contribution is J.J. Abrams's Star Trek (2009), with only the scenes with lens flares. Which is pretty much most of them. (I uploaded the whole movie as well.) Click on the image if you want to see it bigger.

"Laugh-outs" were way too common in Star Trek	It's fun to reassemble scenes from different episodes
To those who say Spock never shows emotion.	Sulu is Japanese, and yet the Japanese language doesn't have the letter "L".

A Han and Leia moment.
