BSG Vid: Trapdoor Trigger

[beccatoria]

Ironically, my first occasion to use my shiny new icon for a vid post and it's not even about the Cylon. I'm sure the subjects of this vid would disapprove mightily. ;)

Title: Trapdoor Trigger
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: 90-mile Water Wall // The National
Spoilers: Through 4x14 Blood on the Scales.
Summary: The arbitrary brutality of civilian life.
Editor's Notes: As always, my thanks to cyborganize for the beta. Also I used Pinnacle to edit this, which was an...interesting experience. I'm still trying to work out how I feel about it.

This is such a unique and powerful vid. The suffering of the little people. *sniff* I agree with everyone who said it was appropriate to highlight Felix and Dee. I think those two are very representative of how this journey took its toll on the best of people, how life in the fleet can push the powerless to desparation. Very thought-provoking work.

Thank you. I'm so pleased that people are connecting with it; I was worried it'd be a little too obscure. But it seems that it's really resonating with people.

I'm especially glad that Dee and Felix work. I never paid them as much attention as I probably should have, and never really realised how awful their lives were and how much I loved them until they were gone. I agree that they're the characters who most closely represented the civilians and deck gang and other forgotten hoardes, I think. Always overlooked until one day, it's too much.
