EEE, vid from you. EEEEE, BSG vid. EEEEEEEEE, Gaius vid. ♥

Did you use any deleted clips in this? Either that, or I really need to rewatch the series, because there were a couple little bits where I was all "Wait, when did that happen?"

I love all of your clip choices, especially toward the end with what you used for "He means he looks at other girls" (lol, random naked taichi basestar Eight), and the compilation of incredulous looks Gaius has earned from various chicks for "This guy is a fool". But all of it, awesomesauce, really. You did a simply brilliant job finding the right women and the right moments to pair to the lyrics. And because I am a horrible person, I was laughing at the 'took a bus out of town = blowed herself up real good' thing. You know, in that way where I hated myself. But kept laughing anyway. because I still found it hilarious. (Likewise, my reaction to the entire segment about 'Joan' had me going: OMG HAHAHAHA LOL...*sadface*.)

ILU, Gaius. I love your stupid smushy face. *clings, draws hearts around*

NO deleted scenes! :D The closest to a deleted scene was some bits from the extended DVD version of the finale, i.e. that weird groupie who put a match in her mouth, and when he puts his hand over Caprica and tiny Hera at 2:06. Everything else was just from the show.

(If there's anything specific you're wondering about, I can point you toward the episode - I have all the sources fresh in my head right now, lol.)

Heeee I had to throw naked tai chi Eight in there somewhere. THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only terribly evil person amused by the Gina and Felix parts.

ILU, Gaius. I love your stupid smushy face.
So say we all.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVED THAT SO MUCH <3 <3 <3

I wish I had more eloquent feedback besides "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and "THIS IS GOING ON MY IPOD!"

(also wish I had a bsg icon atm boo)

[fahrbotdrusilla]

I think my favoritest match is "Lisa got amnesia just forgot who I am", the look on Playa's face in the last clip <3

[nicole_anell]

Your !!!!!!!!!!!! is all the feedback I need. I'm so happy you liked it.

HEEEEE, I had this idea of Playa being the one with amnesia somewhat early on, and then I was so excited that I happened to find a clip of her looking legitimately confused. :D

Gah!! So awesome. I've missed your BSG vids and just looking at the Gaius/everyone description made me gleeful. Thanks for including Felix as one of the angry exs (how could you not?). Wow, Gaius really did screw around, sexually and/or emotionally, with a lot of women, huh? I'm still kinda mad at him for the Boomer scene. But aww, the closing shots of Gaius/Caprica were really lovely.

[nicole_anell]

So glad you liked it! :D I missed *having* BSG vids. Of course I had to include Felix.

Man, that Boomer scene is one of my favorite moments in season one because it's just so horrible and dark. Yet I think he came off as tortured over it and trying to help in a twisted way. But still... Jesus.

What a cute video! I don't even think it's that cracky! Very sweet and lovingly created. Oh, Gaius, you naughty boy! But I like that he hopes that Caprica will stick around. I think she will. :-)

I love Paulla in this vid and really inwardly cheered when she was in a song lyric! Yay!

It's just so funny to think how many women Gaius could have possibly been with. I really enjoyed this vid and look foward to watching it many times. Tiffany with her epiphany! It's also really sweet. You know I like Gaius and Caprica's ending so I'm glad do see it here!

And yay, my Felix is in there too! *hearts*

And then I just decided -- frak it, I'm just gonna make a vid that makes me happy. And it came together in less than a week.
This is the way sometimes! One just has to say frak it! And yay, shiny vid! And it makes others happy too. I'm glad it exists and no one else could have made this, especially not with as much love as you did. :-)

I don't even think it's that cracky! Very sweet and lovingly created.
I think the Deadly Serious Crack label fits this one. :) I *thought* it would be all ridiculous, but then it was ME making it so the sincerity of my Gaius and OTP love just shone through it.

I'm glad it exists and no one else could have made this, especially not with as much love as you did. :-)
Aww that's so sweet! I'm really thrilled it's getting this reaction.

Edit: Oh, also! I loved putting Paulla in this vid because she made the BEST bitchfaces.
