Alright, friends and friendslisters - I am stuck trying to find one particular clip for my DW/TW vid and I can't seem to get around it.

Has anyone seen a clip where Jack is walking away in his big flappy trenchcoat and he turns around and looks back towards the camera? Because I would really enjoy having that.

Also, different project, but say I was to be making an Owen character assassination study. How creepybadwrong is it fair to make him? Thoughts? Because I'm pretty sure I can make a vid that makes him look bad enough that I have to post warnings.

I vaguely recall such a scene...but I can't remember where it occurs. (That said, if you know where it is from and you needed it...*trails off in a meaninful way*)

Re: Owen. I say go for it. Then again, I don't really like Owen. (I mean, AncientAlien Date Rape Device.) So I am perhaps not the most objective person to be asking, here...

In your memory, is it at night on a street? Because it is in mine. I found the nice 360 pan from Countrycide, though, so maybe I'll just substitute that.

Opinion noted re: Owen. I was watching Out of Time with the sound off, and I almost felt a little sorry for him, a little. It sort of passed, though. Horribly unsympathetic characters are so interesting.

Erm. I was picturing it in the country, during the day.

Then again, giving that I can practically hear Doyle or Spike from Angel doing a voiceover (it REALLY is all about the coat), it's possible that I have conflated scenes/episodes/entire fandoms. (Hot guys with issues and/or guns. It all blurs together some days.)

Out of Time made me alternate between angry and tiny bursts of sympathy. Torchwood was sometimes a show that I liked in spite of the characters rather than because of them, you know?

okay, yay for having found the one you're thinking of, and also, bah to my brain for inventing footage far handier than what actually exists.

Somehow I have never considered Angel/TW-era Cap'n Jack parallels. How could this have escaped me? Both have coats and like to sulk and live underground. ET CETERA.

You mean what I was picturing happened? Any memories involving Captain Jack my brain automatically classifies as suspect and possibly being from fic, I think on account of him kissing so many boys. I just *assume* it's fantasy.

God, that would be the best crossover ever, wouldn't it? Jack Harkness really is the LBD of fandom.

I don't know if I, personally, could write that with a straight face, because oh the manpain. But it has the potential to be adorable.

It would be full of delicious manly angst. And Angel would be all broody and woe is me, I have so many crimes to atone for. Jack would be like "That's terrible. Maybe we should make out to help you take your mind off it".

Somewhere, I read a fic that is like, group therapy for a bunch of angsty characters: Sam Seaborn, Angel and Daniel Jackson, possibly some others. Hilarity ensued.

I have this memory also. Hmm...

By god, it exists! I will find it! Just not this week.

Is he looking back at, like, Gwen, or Tosh? I have this idea he's turning and looking at someone in an emotive fashion.
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 11:10 pm (UTC)
Yes! I think he's looking at the group of them...It's not under the bridge in "Ghost Machine" is it?
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 11:41 pm (UTC)
he does turn at 11:24 and toss said machine to Owen, but it's daylight and he looks more pissy.

Seriously, if only I could generate the clips I needed with my brain alone.
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 10:55 pm (UTC)
Also, yes! re:Owen

Seriously. Warnings. The odd thing is, when sourcing with the sound off I almost start to like the guy. But not enough to spare him. Mwahaha.
