I completely second emmiere's recommendation of that Kara vid and I think you'd actually like it mainly because it's...almost entirely Redactica-compatible if you take the whole "and eventually they get to some planet under entirely different circumstances due to a BETTER mytharc" view. Because basically the only stuff we see of her in the finale is the actual moment she jumps the ship and inputs the co-ordinates. Which in itself was kind of cool. And the vidder makes the fantastic decision to show her quiet, terrified, "What the frak have I done," look, then cut to Galactica floating over the moon, then end the vid with Kara burning her own body on NukedEarth (which I still stubbornly insist should have been the only one but whatever!)
So like...there is NOTHING positive about getting to Earth in this vid. It's creepy, eerie, compelling, and the vidder posits that moment of uncertainty as the real end to Kara's story then moves the final narrative beat back to her being stuck burning her own body. It takes it from "OHYAY ANGEL!" and returns it to the far darker, lovecraftian weirdness they kept hinting at for the earlier part of the season. And now I'll stop babbling. But really, it's a very good vid, but not one I consider at odds with my theory above?
I would like more FAIL vids too. I think the problem is finding a way to definitely classify the thing as a FAIL vid. Which is what makes Loved Her to Ribbons so genius; it's clear presentation of that.
I'm also now torn between wanting to find a song that would let me vid FailTyrol as an angry feminist, thinking it couldn't be done because people who liked the storyline would think I was seriously giving it attention as a "dark" and "edgy" storyline and being TERRIFIED of doing it because I'd have to rewatch the EVOL TORY KILLING which I just... That may actually be the grossest thing in the entire finale.

I don't want the fandom to die yet. :(
