Why this vid kicks ass: Stargate Atlantis was an entertaining, fun show ... as long as you could overlook the imperialism dripping from the basic premise. (Of course they need us to come fix their galaxy!) Much as I enjoyed the show, it's nice to sometimes read fic or watch a vid that points out the dark side of the whole show. This vid does so brilliantly, matching a '60s protest song by Bob Dylan with appropriate clips from the show. The song is perfect, the clips are edited cleanly and to great effect. You should be able to follow the vid without problem even if you never saw the show, but if you are a fan and know what was happening in each clip chosen it's even better. This premiered at Vividcon this year, and is one of my favorites.
Physical/content warnings: Themes of imperialism. Potentially disturbing image of bodies at 2:00.
Watch: Masters of War
