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.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Everybody in the world needs to stop using that song for at least fifteen years.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure I could be sold on a Sheppard/Mckay vid to the song, but I prefer Jeff Buckley's version.

I have to admit, in my head, I've storyboarded for an Angel vid to the song. Not that I'm making vids.

I need to find more vids, at least move into more fandoms to see more vids. I've only seen one vid that used Iron and Wine.

Katie, thanks for the info. I'll have to see if she has it up.

There was someone talking about a vidding chat...tzikeh maybe? She made a poll to see which format people would prefer and then I didn't see anything else, I guess that got pushed to the side because of Vividcon.

Having met tzikeh at the con, I would love to sit in on a chat with her: she's sharp, funny, opinionated in good ways, and knows her shit.
