So one thing your vidding meme did was remind me I still needed to leave real feedback on this. But I still don't know if I can be articulate! Since every time I rewatch I just stuck on Laura M.F. Roslin lighting up a cigar as Sage Francis intones "Let's Begin," and I go all fangirl. ;) So...that's one specific thing I like, how you use this in part to show how awesome the Moon Laura is. How much MORE awesome. Like Nicole said, it kind of makes me want to write vid commentary just to pick it all apart since there's so much there. But I really like how you incorporate Tory and Kara into the "moon" side; it ties into the end and all the gender-fail there. And Laura's chammalla (?) use and how she managed to work that to her advantage and fit it into her mystical opera house rythem. :DDD And gah, the end is so powerful.
And I think the message comes through really clearly. I know I said I was taken aback by the "bitch" thing before, but I think that's because I'm ultra-sensitized to it. One thing I've noticed (or thought I've noticed) in the sort of political rap-based BSG vids (like, the five of them *g*) is an unfortunate tendency to take lyrics about bimbos and fake breasts on supermodels or whatever and vid Laura Roslin to them as like a comment on her corruption. And that is NEVER SEXY. :P So that's why I was like "wait, this is Becka, so what's going on here," initially, about that one moment.
But what I love about your vids; this, War for Your Mind, and Jesus Walks, is that you bring out the badass in Laura Roslin like no other, even when lamenting the ways the show let her down. That's truly an accomplishment!
*I need a "WTF Laura?" version of this icon, clearly!
