Never seen Hancock, but a quick trip to Wikipedia fixed that.

I loved it and got most of the connections character-wsie, though I was unsure of the narrative/the story you are trying to tell (i.e. where does each story fit in the other's universe?). The moments at 0:15 and 0:44 where you connect the Hancock universe to the scorched Earth we find in BSG makes me think this is a "future-vid" of sorts? (future-fic/future-vid, whatever. :) )

Favorite moments:

0:37- flash of Sam's cylonic eye on "you said." Because that moment in the ep was really all about the communication. (OT: I loved your Scar/Kara/Sam vid, BTW. It's now my OT3.)
1:14-1:15- LOVES. All you see are her eyes over Hancock's shoulders, and it's SUCH a BSG-shot. (Most of the Hancock clips have the BSG shaky-cam thing going on, too.)
1:51- I love that it ends with more scorched earth over the heart monitor. The beating heart reminds me of the signal that led them there.

I also really like the general musicality of it, too. Like from 0:57-0:59, where the movement of the fingers follows the singer's voice. Nice.

Thanks for a great vid, and sorry about the confusion.

Hi! Thank you for leaving such detailed feedback! It's always nice to know what moments people like, and yes, the cylon eye and the fingers at 0:58 are favourite parts of mine too. (Also I'm glad you like the Scar vidlet! They should totally be everyone's OTP!)

I confess that there isn't really a very coherent narrative to this vidlet but loosely I'm suggesting that yes, it's a future-vid. Since Hancock can't die, perhaps he is waiting for the other four on Nuked Earth and will explain what happened.

I'm glad you liked the closing images. I wanted to use the heartbeat because in the vid I was kind of associating Mary with Earth in my head (the Thing that will Provide Answers about my Unknown Past but isn't Quite What I Wanted), suggesting that just as Mary came back to life (sort of), there might be a heartbeat left in Earth too?

Anyway, thanks for the great feedback! :)
