VID REC: The Sentinel - Coffee Time

Vidder: Sally
Musical artist: Carmen McRae
Pairing: none, gen
Vidder on LJ: none
Vidder's website: Sally's vids on Brothers in Arms
Why this vid kicks ass: All of Sally's vids are fantastic, of course, and a number of them have been recced here before. But this is one of my favorites. Originally The Sentinel was going to be filmed in, and take place in, Seattle, but when the creators looked at the bottom line, they quickly pulled up stakes and moved north to Vancouver, and changed the script to the fictional city of Cascade. But the love of coffee remained. Seriously, what do you expect from a show that, in the pilot, had one of the main characters saying, "we have... forty-two different ways of ordering coffee"? This vid is a perfect paean to that, and Sally does such a terrific job finding all those elusive coffee clips.

Another reason to rec this vid is that Sally recently notified folks that she was planning to close her website. But fortunately some fen came through, and now you can find all her videos at the Brothers in Arms archive at the link above!

Oh, great rec. Sometimes it takes a vid of clips to recognize a common theme. In TS, of course, we realize just how much those two touch each other -- no wonder it's easy to slash or smarm. And this one points out how much of that stuff the guys drink. I especially enjoy Simon, who admits that even the specialty coffees "all taste like Maxwell House to me". That certainly doesn't stop him from having a variety of coffee machines in his office, including an espresso maker!

What a great way to showcase Sally's work and to thank her and BiA for keeping this fun vid available. I'm going to brew some Nicaraguan and enjoy it again.
