Vid Recs (BSG)

Jul 23, 2008 19:46

What is it about BSG that results in it giving birth to more fantastic fanvids than any other show I've seen? Some combination of great color-saturated visuals, kinetic action, big themes, symbolism and (for me at least) a copious supply of interesting female characters. Not to mention talented vidders with something to say.

Three really note-worthy vids have gone up in the past month or so:

Hera Has Six Mommies by tallulah71 and cyborganize

so say we all I (Handlebars) by kiki_miserychic

there's a war going on for your mind, Laura by beccatoria

The last one in particular has grabbed me today. It takes a lot to get me to forgive the lack of DVD-quality source (I know, I know), but I forgive! It's all lyrical complexity and anger and gender and politics and religion and most of all, yes, the inside of Laura Roslin's mind. Which mysteriously seems to be coterminous with everything important about the series as a whole. And, my god, isn't that refreshing?

What goes on in her mind matters. And, my god, isn't that even more refreshing?
