08:02 am VID REC: Stargate SG-1 - We Didn't Start the Fire
Vidder: brihana25
Musical artist: Billy Joel
Pairing: Gen
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brihana25
Vidder's website: The Alpha Site
Why this vid kicks ass:

This vid is the coolest thing ever. The work it must have taken to put all these clips together is just mindboggling. And I love the way she matches the clips to the lyrics. Space Monkey! It includes so many of my favorite moments from the first eight years of SG-1. It brought back a lot of memories. This site gives the background information for all the references in the lyrics so you can see just how awesome this vid is.

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: crew, gen
Length: about 3000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fox1013
Why this must be read:

Because even the most hardened cynics deserve a chance to let this holiday fic melt their hearts. And because it is a beautiful and deft reworking of tradition into a Fireflyverse story, with the connections working fruitfully both ways. Because, just sometimes, it is OK to hope that things might turn out right, at least for a little while.

10:46 am VID REC: X-Files--Move
Vidder: Astarte
Musical artist: N.E.R.D.
Pairing: Mulder/Scully, Scully/Other
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] astartexx
Vidder's website: Music Video Master List
Why this vid kicks ass:

It's not easy to watch, and this is a good thing. It's choppy, breathless and it makes you think. Is it a cool, sexy, glorious celebration of Scully's strength? Does it objectify her and glamorize her role as a victim? Both, at once. The vid really highlights the way that the show itself places her right at that boundary, while it goes further than the show in emphasizing that her life as an FBI agent is something Scully has chosen for herself.

Besides being incredibly thought-provoking, the vid is technically excellent, with particularly good use of coloring and effects. A must-see.

12:21 pm VID REC: Babylon 5 - Dancing in the Light
Vidder: Barkley
Musical artist: Entrain
Pairing: none/ensemble

Vidder's website: http://www.bonuspoints.net/vidstuff/index.html
Why this vid kicks ass: This vid is just damn FUN. Catchy tune, great syncing of the video to the lyrics, and it showcases the sheer vitality of Babylon 5. Sure, the show was about universe-shattering stuff and all, but there was also a lot of humor and love. Anyway, this vid just makes me smile, so check it out.

06:50 pm VID REC: Highlander - Nancy Boy
Vidder: Gianduja Kiss
Musical artist: Placebo
Pairing: Duncan/Methos
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] giandujakiss
Vidder's website: Monsters from the Vids
Why this vid kicks ass:

First of all, because it's one of my favorite songs ever. The song is pure slash, sexy as hell. The vid matches perfectly. Not only does it spotlight all the sexy moments between my two favorite immortals, [livejournal.com profile] giandujakiss uses "bonus" footage from Bliss and Queen of Swords. It contains nudity and sexually explicit, not to mention kinky, images. Of Peter Wingfield. If you're not already clicking, I'm not sure what more I can tell you. I also have to confess that this was the first vid I ever watched. The use of this song made me actually download it, and my love for vids was created. Really, you must watch this.

07:43 pm VID REC: The Magnificent Seven - In A Big Country
Vidder: Gwyneth
Musical artist: Big Country
Pairing: Chris/Vin
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gwyn_r
Vidder's website: Gwyn R
Why this vid kicks ass:

This song has been used so often by the Scottish Tourist Board, I never thought I would think of it as relating to anywhere but here. However, Gwyneth fits the landscape of M7 and the characters of Chris and Vin into it so well, from now on when I hear it on the radio I'll think of M7. A must-see.
