Why this vid kicks ass:

This vid is one of the reasons I'm starting to give Merlin/Morgana a chance and being willing to break my pretty dang strong slash streak in Merlin fandom. The editing blends in masterfully with the clip choices to showcase an expressive mix of regret, missed opportunities', and a painful destiny to be on opposite sides of an epic struggle. I adored how the author brought to light Merlin's and Morgana's similarities so well and in such a way as to cast vivid light on how their very different choices caused those same similarities to become polar opposites. The sheer emotion and connection I could feel for these characters from this vid has inspired me to go find more fics for this pairing, and I look forward to the angst-y love and the painful "what-if"s.
