VID REC: STAR TREK REBOOT - Hurt

Musical artist: Johnny Cash
Character/ Pairing: Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy version) Some Kirk & Spock that could be seen as friendship or slash

Why this vid kicks ass:

One of the things that surprised me first time I watched the reboot of Star Trek was the deep heartache I felt for Spock Prime. Not only was he alone in the Prime universe (everyone I know, goes away in the end) but he failed in his mission and planets/countless lives were destroyed. (I will let you down, I will make you hurt.)

This vid also utilizes clips from TOS to great effect (I remember everything, what have I become? my sweetest friend) while tying back in with reboot Spock (and you could have it all, my empire of dirt.) This vid is simple - and I mean than in only the best possible way. It perfectly captures that heartache by letting the song and images - and not complicated/flashy editing - tell the story.
