I love that vid - although as I say above, I kind of include it in my list of vids that Use-The-Finale-But-Not-Really. Because the vidder doesn't ever let Kara get to Earth. The only stuff of her in the finale we see is her plotting the jump, devoid of context and a very confused, almost creepy shot of her as they jump into Earth a planet. And the decision to then cut away from that and instead show her burning her own corpse on Earth seems like a strong statement about the strongest parts of her story, what they were, and the coherency of it? I mean basically the vid does not acknowledge the POOF or any of the "God just did it" mytharc end that...really pertains to character's story arc as much as it pertains to anything? Which is interesting?
