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.

Civilians! Yay! I love civilians.

*sucker-punch*


It's a gorgeous vid, especially how you've used Laura and all my favorite Cylons, who I now want to inflict violence on. Apparently the mutiny didn't cure my bloodlust, since none of this has ever, and probably now won't ever, be resolved. It makes me so angry. They keep bleeding away, and Roslin marks their passage as just numbers on the board.

Thank you!

I'm really glad you like it, and to be honest, I'm not sure ANYTHING will quench my bloodlust at this point, short of EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE SHOW (except Caprica Six and maybe Starbuck and Anders) DYING IN THE FINALE. Oh bloodlust *cuddles it*

I love the whiteboard thing in the show. Because on the one hand, I actually think it's a sign of how much Laura does care; this is the only way she can express how much she cares for and how much she loves them all, but at the same time, from the perspective of those numbers, it must seem terribly cold and mechanical.

Yes, exactly.

And your list of who should be left standing is fairly close to mine. It's like, Sam can probably jump the ship now, right? So they should just take off and leave Adama holding the bag on his big cathartic finish, pick up D'Anna, and go careening around the universe. I would maybe save Chief too, but he'd be kind of a downer right now.
