Awwww, your feedback is enough to make me all swoony. :)

I'm really glad you like this - I'd hate, of everything I could possibly underachieve at to underachieve to you with regards to SARAH CONNOR. <3

As always, you just mention all these awesome things I was half thinking about and half running with on instinct, but I feel very grateful to have someone to interpret my visual ramblings into proper words because everything you say about Sarah is so true and reflective of the emotion I was trying to evoke in the vid, but, as you know from my angsting, couldn't quite put into words. I kid you not, I sat for about half an hour stressing over the summary.

One of the things I love best about vids is the way they let you visually associate emotions and ideas you do not have the words for and then other people show up and explain it back to you. <3

How far shall I take this awesome metaphor??

AS FAR AS YOU LIKE FOR YOU MAKE ME SEEM SO SMART (even though I suspect it was really the VRY SMRT writers who are so smart I would not put it past them to have thought shit like this out given their repeated chess imagery in the show!) Certainly I can't help but think of Derek as a pawn. Noble and brave and totally disposable.

ETA: If you can ETA then so can I! :p I wanted to say, usually when I vid shit like this I'm not sure what I mean, but actually the gasoline lyrics were some of the earliest I glommed onto and so I - oddly - have a very clear understanding of what I meant by them. Which is basically just the idea of someone drinking gasoline to quench a thirst is like...someone building robots to save us all. Horribly ironic - it looks like water, I mean, progress (medical, scientific, military) but actually it's just gonna kill you. We're gonna drink gasoline no matter how much Sarah tries to stop us until one day we're so soaked in it we're gonna catch fire.
