Vid Pimping!
Since I beta'd the two vids in question, I might be prejudiced, but I think they rock and are accessible even if you're not so familiar with Alias, and haven't even heard of Crusade. If, otoh, you do know either, you appreciate how andrastewhite connects Jack Bristow and the most important people in his life, or presents a show that, like Firefly, got shafted by the network in every way possible (wrong order of broadcast episodes, original pilot not shown and hastily written new first ep shown instead, bad slot, etc.) and that not many people ever heard of.
American Tune, her Alias vid, is a Jack character portrait with spoilers until and including Breaking Point of season 3. If you love Spydaddy already, you'll love this vid. If you have no idea what all the squealing about the middle-aged get in a great many people's icons is all about, check it out. My own favourite bits are the transition from Sydney rising to Irina rising at one particular point, and the way Andraste uses Emily's funeral (at which three of the four people this vid connects were present, after all).
Holy Grail, otoh, is an ensemble vid, and puts forth a great argument why you should watch Crusade. (Only not in the order the blasted network showed it in, and put it on DVD in. The perfect Crusade watching order is here. Crusade was a spin-off from Babylon 5 which like Angel in regards to Buffy might be set in the same universe as the first show, but tried at the same time to do something different, to find its own style. The vid presents said style, and the characters, with flair. Extra bonus point for including a clip from the homage to the X-Files (check out Alien!Scully and Alien!Mulder, you'll recognize them at once).
Both vids are available for downloading here.
