The writer/creator on the commentary track for Scrubs S1 ("My Old Lady") claims to have started that trend, and apologizes. I don't know if he's right about being the trendsetter, but I'll accept the apology anyway.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Does anyone have the link to the SGA vid to Running up that Hill? It was linked either here in Boxed Sets or Fanfiction, but I haven't been able to find it. I deleted it after watching it and I want to take a look at it again.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Everybody in the world needs to stop using that song for at least fifteen years.
Seconded.

Absolutely nothing beats watching SG-1, SGA, and BSG crammed into a hotel room with 27 other folks, mostly slashers, lots of alcohol, orange food, and chocolate.
Dude, seriously. Dana, Destina and I were suffering from the Giggle Amplification Effect while watching SGA.
I remember the vid was called "Hello," so I'm guessing the song was as well.
"Hello," by Poe. It was a remix I hadn't heard before. Merry was the vidder, IIRC.

Seconded.
i'd like to add that rule to Evanescence's My Immortal and Bring Me To Life, as well.

This was an issue that came up multiple times during discussion of that vid. I tend to agree that it's been overused, which doesn't mean that the vid itself didn't work; but outside influences do affect how it's received. I wasn't sold on the vid entirely, partly because of the song and partly because it was John/Rodney, which wearies me (except when the writers give it to us on a frelling platter, as this ep did).
Hallelujah, Closer, and anything by Evanescence or Sarah McLaughlin are definitely off the table. I'm considering moving Iron and Wine off the table, too, because their sound is so distinctive.
Oh, and only Melina and her collaborators are allowed to use Tracy Grammar and Dave Carter. Like, ever.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

This point was discussed, for what it's worth. And alas, the vidders used the Rufus Wainwright version, too, which is not nearly hurty enough.

Try sdraevn's LJ--that's her vid. I'm not sure if she has storage space or if she just does yousendit links, though, so it may not be available.

I don't know that I'd say it's overused, though.

No, true, that's just me. Don't I get to rule the world and dictate all vids and music used therefore?
Darn.
