(In case you were wondering, yes, this does mark the beginning of my vidding obsession with The National; expect another vid and a vidlet hopefully before 4.5 starts. You know; it'll be nice to have my life back, BSG. :/ Maybe one day I'll even learn to vid things that aren't you...)

GUH.

Chalk up another one for the awesomeness of working through my character issues in vids and then making other people articulate them for me!

Basically your entire second paragraph is what I meant by "all the layers Tricia Helfer gives everything." Because yes. I mean, like I said, I kind of view Six's clapping as almost sarcastic, if only because, while she loves him and wants to see him glorious, there's also usually an element of "Dammit Gaius I have to do everything myself."

So like maybe I didn't mean sarcastic so much as smug and superior because look her pet project worked and yeah, like you said how horrifying is it?

Except you said it a millionty times smarter and basically articulated what I was going for when I realised that Six clapping over Gaius having fucked himself over so totally he's gonna bleed to death was totally where the vid needed to end. Cus yeah; to me it's sarcastic. But in the little HeadSix/Gaius paradigm it's the HeadSix grinning as Baltar claims to be the Hand of God or glancing approvingly at Tory as Baltar claims he's perfect.

And *blush* you're too nice. An epic end-of-BSG list of vid recs sounds like a great idea. I may have to steal it. :)

I'm not too nice, I simply acknowledge excellence :p

Also YES STEAL THE IDEA. We totally need to start a reccing meme...
