You Got Fandoms? I Got Vids. (Part One)

[thefourthvine]

Okay, see, here's the deal. I am the last person you should be trusting for vid recs. I deal with visual media pretty much by pretending it doesn't exist, because generally speaking it makes no sense to me. You know how most people come to fandom and fan fiction from TV shows? I came to TV shows from fan fiction, and the people who had to get me

Based upon my love of "icebound stream" (which, oh my, reminds me of being 15 and watching DS on TV and being utterly captivated by the Frasier/Victoria relationship *and* tears my heart out in interesting ways) and the Firefly "Halleluia" (because that is totally *Mal*, that is the essence of Mal, under the psychotic humour and wry smiles and uncertain planning, there's the *devotion* and ability to *suffer* and *pay* for his beliefs and freedom, and really, my love for him cannot be textually rendered), I downloaded the SGA one.

Which led to two thoughts.

First of all, you didn't mention my current SGA thrill vid of the moment: "If I wrote you". I'll point it out to you -- even though I have no idea if this'll work for you or not -- because it's haunted my mind for the last week. There is something utterly beautiful about the combination of lyrics/feel and the shots of the SGA crew during S1. It's sad and uplifting and hopeful and flawed, and I like it a great deal.

Second thought: one of those sites -- the one with the first SGA vid -- has a Sports Night vid. A *Sports Night* vid. I've never come across one before and may have to do a happy dance now.

Also, I totally meant to include the link to If I Wrote You but I got all squee-y and distracted.

Oh, wow. I love Lierdumoa's "If I Wrote You." Choosing between that and "Hello" (by Merry) and these two vids was really, really difficult - and that was with me already ruling out all the humor ones (separate category). SGA's cup runneth over with fantastic vids, and this delights me more than I can relate.

I ended up going with these two because they tell a story not just seperately but together. (I know, I know. It's a story that exists only in my mind. Um.) But, trust me, you'll be seeing those other two being recommending real soon, because oh my god.

I can't quite express how I feel about you doing recs for humor vids, because there's no font for supersonic shrieking and dancing in circles. Please do. And for when you do, you should check out z_rayne's "Jolene" for SGA.
