Why this vid kicks ass:

Hm, there are quite a few good Witchblade vids, but this is a new one and I think the song works particularly well for the show. I also like the visuals and the way the vidder plays with perspective. It's a Sara focused video, and nicely portrays her confusion and frustration with embracing her legacy. While it does lack on the 'Ian emphasis' I prefer, it's a beautiful overview of the first season (and a bit of the second), and Kenneth is depicted in all of his irritating complexity. I'm not entirely certain how well the video will work for those unfamiliar with the show, but it does give you a good feel for some of the interesting imagery that made 'Witchblade' stand out.

As someone without a clue about the show - I adore this complex, beautiful vid and can't second your rec highly enough.

;o) Glad it does work for those who haven't seen the show! I knew it would be 'pretty' for anyone who watched, but Shalott also did a heck of a job encompassing a LOT of the core storyline, as well as really nailing Sara's emotional state.

I haven't seen the show, but I watched it once and was immediately intrigued and still got a good sense of what it was saying: the push-pull between her and the bracelet and the introductions (and exits) of the various characters
