Recs - Vids, Star Trek

Some vids I've been enjoying recently:

Starlight by [livejournal.com profile] buffyann [dance movies]
Dancing is all they want.

An older vid I've stumbled on, it's probably some of the best straight-up kinetic editing I've seen to date.

DLZ by [livejournal.com profile] bop_radar [Sarah Connor Chronicles]
We are the Resistance.

This is dense and smart and I love it a whole lot, just like the show.

When I Ruled The World by [livejournal.com profile] di_br [Doctor Who]
I really wanted to make a vid comparing and contrasting both Doctors, showing just how much he's changed and yet how much of him still stayed intact. This is Ten looking back on his time as the Ninth Doctor, realizing how much he's changed since then and wondering if it was all for the better.

I like vids that remind me that I kind of like that Tenth Doctor guy really. Also, Nine!

Steady As She Goes by [livejournal.com profile] jesuit24 [Star Trek TOS]
Look out for dramatic!Kirk, Spock keeping his pimping hand strong, Bones drinking as well as some hideous alien villains.

*hearts* Rewatch people, we've got some treats in store! :D

NOT ENOUGH LADIES, TOO MANY MANS.

OMG. Hilarious, but also depressingly bang on. Too many misters, not enough sisters!

In honour of that last one, some Star Trek recs about chicks:

Oh Two Hundred by [livejournal.com profile] mekosuchinae [Uhura with a side of Spock/Uhura, teen]
"I'm working on it," she said, already thinking of how to explain transporter technology to someone who might not know what it was in a language she had thought dead not two hours ago.

[People with kinks for competency/languages/Uhura being awesome, you'll LOVE this.]

Whore by [livejournal.com profile] igrockspock [Gaila, teen]
Gaila hates the word 'whore.' Luckily, so does someone else.

A Brief History of Lt (j.g.) Gaila Aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC 1701) by [livejournal.com profile] taraljc [Gaila, ensemble, PG]
Her first month aboard Enterprise, Gaila is put on Gamma Shift in Engineering.

The First Time by [personal profile] bravecows [OFCs, G]
"It's hard to believe we're in the same Starfleet, yeah."

Art: Apple by [livejournal.com profile] irrel, a fantastic illustration for [livejournal.com profile] rheanna27's Lunch and Other Obscenities that I recced the other day. She also drew Stars, which is little!Spock and little!Uhura and SO CUTE OMG. <333

-claps hands gleefully- I love your recs; you have such impeccable taste. (Omg, Lunch and Other Obscenities!)

OOH. SHINY.
So are you watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles now? :D :D :D

[identity profile] wanderlight.livejournal.com 2009-06-27 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW. D:
I finished the finale and was just like, "HOW ON EARTH COULD THEY HAVE CANCELLED THAT?!"

It's unlikely the fandom will survive either -- which is too bad, because it was tiny but nice. :(

Hilarious, but also depressingly bang on.

Heh. True--and just plain depressing if you listen to the words carefully. (No, the solution is not to spread out the dicks!) In any case, thanks for the rec! Clever.

Do I always leave such positive, uplifting comments on your journal? M.

Thanks a lot for the rec :)
