VID REC: The Sentinel - Touch

[magician113.livejournal.com]

Vidder: Alfnrns
Musical artist: “Every time I Touch You” by The Nails
Characters: Blair Sandburg, Jim Ellison
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: on YouTube

Why this vid kicks ass: Because it's a feast of touchy-feely moments.

In canon, not only do Jim and Blair touch each other a lot, they touch each other in ways most people don’t. “Personal space” doesn’t seem to have much meaning for them. Is it because Jim’s a sentinel and he requires more tactile input and Blair, as his guide, understands this? Is it because they’ve been through so much together; including saving each other’s lives? Or is it that they are lovers and this is the way they communicate, since they can’t do PDAs? Each fan has her own theory, but it’s one of the things we love about them.

The screen clips aren’t the sharpest I’ve seen, but I like how Alfnrns plays a clip then does a capture before moving on. I expect you’ll find some of your top touches here to enjoy.

Love it! The still shots are a very nice idea, and I like that recurring explosion. It's pretty intense, actually, the whole thing, thanks to the choice of clips. And I'm glad the spat in the Loft gets a lot of space - one of the strongest scenes of the entire show, imho, and shows what the guys could have done with sharper, darker scripts and more opportunity to explore the characters.

I'm with you--that scene in Warriors is just the best. It really was a shame the writers abandoned such potentially great story lines in favor of the standard action fare. Fortunately, fan writers and vidders fill in the gaps nicely.

Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the rec :-) You made my day.
I intended it to be a tongue in cheek, affectionate homage to TS's macho action hero premise and said action hero's inability to keeps his hands off his BF.

Oh, my, I didn't realize this was another pseud for you. I was just wandering around YT and found it. I think your intentions were fully realized. Brava.
