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 a wonderful vid so powerful and surprisingly moving given it's focus on minor characters. I love the way the violence is spinning around Laura and her obliviousness/indifference to the "everyman" and "woman" characters of the fleet the ones who do all the work in oppressive and shitty circumstances while the military and government types get all the glory.

I think you worked Dee and Gaeta into this really well because although they are part of the military they are so utterly taken for granted quietly getting the job done until they just can't take it anymore.

Like I said, wonderful vid.

Oh, thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you liked it.

I'm actually a real Laura Roslin fangirl and don't think that she is indifferent to the fate of the Fleet, but I bet she sure as hell seems like it from their perspective, so I'm really glad I managed to get her across as the, well, "villain" of the piece?

Thank you again for taking the time to leave feedback. :)
