Vid recs!

Avatar Dance Mix by friendshipper; Avatar
This is a really fun vid to watch. Sholio does an excellent job of editing here, and I will always always be a sucker for those kids hugging each other. And Appa!!

One Girl Revolution by dangen; Multi-fandom
I don't know if I can be coherent enough about this vid to say anything other than, GIRLS ARE AWESOME OMG GIRL POWER FOREVER! Love, love all the fandoms represented (including B7 and my girl Janeway!), and I adore the lyrics to this song. Guaranteed rewatcher.

Around the Bend by dangen; Multi-fandom
This is a vid about women driving cars and flying planes and spaceships and riding motorcycles and in general being all kinds of badass and awesome. As with the previous vid, I am so stoked about all the fandoms represented, but what's even better is that the vidder intersperses images of actual for-reals-yo woman taking the wheel.

Wild Child by calapine; Multi-fandom
You should be sensing a theme about now, and that them is LADIES! AWESOME LADIES! This has some wonderful and unexpected fandoms represented (hello, Lois and Clark), and like the vids recced before, does an excellent job of celebrating women.

What About by fizzyblogic; Multi-fandom
This vid belongs to the same family as the ones I've just recced, and yet inexplicably it has only a handful of comments. Run, go, watch this vid! Revel in the women being awesome. Tell the vidder you liked it. :)

I Enjoy Being a Girl by absolutedestiny; Multi-fannish
In this vid, fewer fandoms are represented than the others I've recced, but the vid forms a much more cohesive narrative. Strong parallels are drawn between the characters in the vid, and we're shown clips of the women engaging in the same or similar activities back to back. Quite fun to watch.

Kiss Mr. Spock by gin1119; TOS Kirk/Spock
Oh, the silly! This is really a nicely edited vid that reimagines Kirk and Spock as Eric and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Thank you, TOS, for giving us slash so thick, you can scrape it off the screen.

Voyager versus South Park by ZoeAmory; Voyager and South Park
Aahahahhahahaaahahah! This is like thirty seconds of South Park audio set to Voyager video, and it makes me snort milk out of my nose.

Janeway's Hair by dreamsavvy; Voyager
Just what it says on the tin--the many and multifarious hairstyles of Kathryn Janeway. (I am so besotted with this woman, it's not even funny.)

With or Without You by northernstar24; Kira/Odo DS9
This vid really cleverly mixes audio from the series with the song. It's pretty much the best shipper vid I've ever seen for these two. Makes me tear up like nobody's business. I love the way this vid articulates the tension between the love Odo feels for Kira and the duty he feels to his people.

Atheists Don't Have No Songs by Steve Martin
Give the vid two seconds; it's out of focus to start with. This is a barbershop quartet singing the whole of the Atheist Hymnal. *loves*

Huh. I didn't feel she was overacting; I thought that was how she was supposed to be, and it was the character who mellowed, not the acting. Fascinating! *g*

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

Which is certainly a valid interpretation. :)

I had heard somewhere that a disproportionate number of the DS9 actors had actually gotten their starts on the stage with theater acting rather than TV or movie acting, and I had wondered if that was true of the actor that plays Torres; I thought that might account for what I was reading as overacting--that she was used to performing for an audience that was stationary and at a remove. But I like your take on it much better. I can definitely see that B'Elanna's journey is one of coming to terms with her aggression and her outsider status and the way she feels so defensive even when people are trying to help her. It's a fascinating character arc.

Also, I forgot to say in the last comment that I'm kind of in love with your Janeway icons.

[trobadora]

You mentioned that in your post too - one of the great things about Voyager is that they really pay attention to all their main cast. Everyone's getting their own journey and character development.

I have another icon I want to upload, but first I need my memory to cough up from which ep the pic is. It's driving me batty!

Don't worry about spoiling me. Unless it's of Tuvok dead or something, it'll be alright. :)

[trobadora]

It's not even spoilery. But I should KNOW that stuff!

Hahahah! I know what you mean.
