[2 BSG Vids] Songs of the Unforgiven: Breakups on a Battlestar [Laura/Kara, Laura/Lee]

[beccatoria]

Songs of the Unforgiven is a cycle of five orphaned Battlestar Galactica vids. They are all short (between two and three minutes). They are all designed to stand alone as well as working as a series (and in couplets) so please, feel free to watch and leave feedback on either or both.

Songs of the Unforgiven marks the launch of VIDWAR: ROBOT APOCALYPSE, and I'MA BREAK YOU UP LIKE LAURA ROSLIN BREAKS UP WITH PILOTS, CHAILA. NOT EVEN SARAH CONNOR WILL SAVE YOU; LAURA CAN BREAK UP WITH HER TOO, YOU KNOW.

First of all, YOU GET EXTRA SPECIAL SQUEE FOR FINALLY VIDDING LAURA/KARA. This is another one that parallels the characters' very personal (GAY) angst with the layer of meta about how the show epically failed to bring these two women together in any meaningful way. Your genius here is in weaving their stories back together (in symbols, in dreams, in spirituality) within the very vid that critiques how they were kept apart. FRAKKING GORGEOUS. This could totally be a fanon coda to my OTP fic series (if that's not a self-centered compliment).

Probably a lot of this goes for Laura/Lee, too, although I'm less interested ;). Likewise beautifully edited and brimming with thoughts and feelings. I do love the contrast between religion and politics as dimensions of Laura in the pair of vids.

Incidentally, I'm very pleased that River is pondering Laura's breakup list in your mood theme. Is River planning for an upcoming date, perhaps?! While Laura might very well be able to dump Sarah Connor, I'm not convinced that ANYONE could dump Doctor Song.
