Whoa! Oh my god, this video. I love it so much. THAT WAS AMAZING AND CREEPY AND AWESOME AND RIVETING.

I'm beyond impressed with how you've taken a seemingly abstract song choice and made it work SO amazingly well within the context of the show / Nikita & Alex's relationship. Such inspired editing! I loved the (very apt) refrain:

"I kept an angel
In a box beneath my bed
Little beast had broke her jaw
And I tried to fix her head"

And the montage of Nikita taking out Alex's father interspersed with:

"It was a mercy kill
No
It was a suicide
No
It was an accident
No
Well at least I tried"

was a stroke of genius!

Oh, and I also love how you showed Nikita clinging onto Alex and Alex severing the tie between them in conjunction with with the lyrics: "When I ran out of thread, I couldn't let go". Awesome.

Definitely one of the best (and undoubtedly the most unique!) Nikita/Alex vids I've seen. Thanks for all your hard work! I downloaded it for safekeeping :)

Thank you so much for such gorgeous feedback! I had a lot of help from the song itself, which I think is perfect for them, and which was suggested to me by a friend - I'm very glad you felt the editing matched it!

Loved this!! :D Absolutely perfect song choice, and I love how you built up the narrative the way Nikita built up Alex. And of course Julie Cooper as "the cat" is sheer perfection. Wonderful, powerful vid!

Thank you! I can't take credit for the song choice - that was rivkat - but I'm delighted you liked how the vid came out!
