There are no words to adequately convey my joy. V!! V! All the action and the characters and the resistance fighting - I'm just overflowing with nostalgia. Thank you for this!

I can't tell you enough how much I fucking love this song and vid. I've got to watch this at least half a dozen times or else I'll be constantly thinking about this vid and not able to sleep.

Excellent work! Thanks so much for this!

[barkley]

Oh, yay!!! Thanks so much!

Oh my God, this is AMAZING! I was just looking at the playlist for the 80's vid show the other day and thinking that that was not my 80's - probably because of what did and didn't filter through to Sweden in the days when we only had two tv channels - but THIS, oh, this is my 80's right here. Along with the original Star Wars trilogy, I would say that V was my first sci-fi fandom, and it will always have a very special place in my heart. And what you've captured here are all the things about the original series that translate outside the story itself, the somewhat cheesily expressed message of resistance against facism, of ordinary people fighting for what is right, of sharing the fundamental human values with other human beings who are not at all like you, a message that is still important. The final image of the vid, it makes me all verklempt. In short, I really, really love this. <3

This was totally my 80s! I still remember vividly the days on the bus in the morning when this aired and I'd find my friend and gush, "DID YOU SEE LAST NIGHT?!?!" and of course she had, and we'd talk all day about it. Baby fans in the making. *g*

And thank you so much! I am glad this worked for you!

I feel that to say "This vid made me happy" will have me generally regarded as a sociopath. And yet, not only did this vid make me happy, I think I should go dig out my old VHS tapes and clutch them to my bosom.

[barkley]

It makes me happy that it makes you happy. Sociopaths unite!

Thanks!! V will always hold a special place in my heart because of how awesome and how drawn in we all were when it first aired. I'm glad it worked for you!
