i know next to nothing about taylor swift but that last video is quite hilarious--the first couple of minutes, anyway. i quite like your analysis of reboot!kirk's emotional needs. even when we see him in the car and his stepdad is yelling at him, well. he stole a car, of course someone's gonna yell at him--but i can see how that might be indicative on a whole as neglect: no one notices him until they notice him do bad stuff.
