SQUEEEEEEE!!!! YOU DID NOT VID THIS SONG!!!! I have been wanting a BSG vid to this song for-ev-er and here you've gone and made it! Okay, initial flail over so I'm going to go, er, watch it now. . . [saves space]
As always, this is gorgeous. Really, really fabulous use of the song and the metaphor of the arbitrary violence as a tidal wave is really kind of awesome. I also love how you've used Laura here, as others have said, maybe not as oblivious to the indiviudal members of the fleet, but certainly apparently so, seemingly less concerned for them than as the fleet in the abstract. It's hard to show the Roslin cabal from the POV of the fleet, as we get so little from the fleet's eye view in the show, but the way you've edited this deftly gets that across. From many of their points of view, I imagine she IS a straight-up dictator and your intercutting with her and the violence gutted me for that reason. Really great tie-in with Gaeta and the mutiny too. I have a feeling that I'll love this more every time I watch it.
