Why this must be watched: The choice of song completely cracked me up - it's very 60's tongue-in-cheek, fitting the tone of the show (seasons 2 and 3) to a T. The choice of clips with the innocents making mischief with our spy guys and our spy guys finding new zany ways to save the world and each other was just perfect. The little touch at the end was quite a treat :D

Why this must be watched: I couldn't choose just one vid to rec because there have been so many great ones coming out lately. I think you have to be blind to not catch the subtext present in the show seen through a slash lens - there's a lot of quick edits, but you just can't miss all the looks and touches and insinuating lines. With the choice of song ("I've Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher, cute canonical nod and so appropriate to the 60's atmosphere) there was a risk of not pacing things well, but the fast cuts don't feel forced or awkward at all. There's a nice nod to the Return reunion, too.

Why this vid kicks ass:

This is possibly the most eccentric song choice ever vidded for Firefly, and it works perfectly. It's a shockingly complete attempt to vid ALL of the series and the movie, and makes beautiful use of the wild mood swings of the music to catch the way canon abruptly swerves between pathos and humour and horror. I love stories which use snapshot vignettes to build up a complete picture - and this is the vid equivalent. It is sharply and wittily edited, relentlessly pacy, and very beautiful. Our show.

10:33 pm Maybe It Was Memphis by princessofg
Fandom: STARGATE SG-1
Pairing: Jack O'Neill/ Daniel Jackson
Length: long
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] princessofg
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:
I love AUs. I love seeing how an author takes a familiar character and shapes him into someone else. I really love an author who creates a character that is still very true to themselves. And this author did. This Jack and Daniel are in Memphis in the 1950s but are still very Jack and Daniel. The descriptive language in this story creates very vivid images in my head. I can see everything so clearly. The long hot afternoons in Memphis are particularly gorgeous.
