BSR Vid Recc! YUP YOU READ THAT RIGHT!
I'd like to point everyone in the direction of a Battlestar Redactica-compatible music video!

I think this is absolutely fantastic.
Even if you haven't seen Battlestar Redactica and just watch this as a commentary on Kara's destiny pre-Daybreak, I think it works fabulously, although obviously I'm overjoyed that it was vidded intentionally as something else.
It centres on Kara, her destiny, her hybridity, her uncertainty, her place in an entropic and decaying universe.
This vid gives me a wonderful sense of forboding even as it manages to highlight all of the aspects of social hybridity in the last few episodes that I loved. Even as it provides me with a massive sense of peace and rightness that it's all decaying and crumbling together and heading down toward this single moment in an Opera House that's been gone for thousands of years.
I suppose it makes me think of the way I felt watching that final shot of 4x10 on NukedEarth. They had nothing; everything had crumbled and fallen away. But also, there were no lies anymore. There was a kind of comfort in having stripped everything away; of being at the very furthest edge of history before it all collapses, and finding that peace?
Or, you know, something less pretentious that will make you go WATCH THIS VID. Cus, um, clearly you all should!

I love your recs. You say stuff I didn't even know I wanted to be in the vid. :) I'm glad the simultaneous foreboding and rightness of the hybridization comes across for you. It's like we're all going to this place that we can't stop moving towards, even though we don't know if that's where we really want to go or not, and that's sort of the opera house and the hybridization process itself. I didn't even know I wanted those two things to be quite this closely connected until I watched Redactica. BUT I DID.

What is this "Daybreak" of which you speak?
