Was struck down by fierce vidding craving during the viewing chat for SGA 3x08.

Title: Bittersweet
Episodic minivid (about 1:30) for "McKay and Mrs. Miller".

I think you really captured Jeanie there with just that little bit. Lovely.

very cool! I think you amply and simply made your point about the "aliens made them do it"-ness of Jeannie's choices. Especially with the scene of her sitting and laughing with Rodney's team, and the hugging scene--she is as brilliant as Rodney, she could have been the one in Atlantis, except for the small matter of her gender....

(except, devil's advocating here, to be fair to the ep and the show, that's exactly why she and Rodney had a falling out, no? because she did choose to have a "normal life" and not sacrifice everything to her career the way her brother did--and the way he thought she should have as well.... If she had...well, Rodney made it to the stars, Samantha Carter made it there, as well as several other female characters in the SG universe... so--bittersweet choice indeed...)

very powerful vid, left me wanting more, which doesn't happen often...

EEE! It captured everything we were talking about in the chat and some of the things that were not. This vid totally filled my need for Jeannieness. Thanks for making it. (I'm Phnelt btw)

As much as I love this episode, I will admit that watching it makes me uncomfortable for the very reasons you've caught here (I kept mostly quiet in chat so as not to quell the squee - and to keep from treating everyone to an 45-minute rant about the Mommy Track). I wish we got to see a bit more of what Jeannie's thinking about going home after having been handed the universe; the last cut you've used, of her turning back to the dishes, makes me so *angry*. Which, okay, yes, trivializes her ability to make her own choices, but...
