gerbal and I went to Hometown Comic Book Store yesterday and loaded up on Buffy Season 8 and the Serenity Comic. I am not big on comic books - I'm just not that visual - but man I am glad I made the leap.

( Because of the vaguely spoilery things! )
( And here's where the spoilers get specific )

I have never been a comics nerd before! I am enjoying it.

Also, it's interesting how different a character and an actor can be, isn't it? I was never all that into Sarah Michelle Gellar, but the Season 8 vol I cover art makes my heterosexuality crumble a bit. Oh, Sunnydale people. I missed you.

ETA: Also, while I've seized control of an internet connection: vid rec! Set Fire to the Third Bar by

sol_se. (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto). I am not particularly into either this song or this pairing right now, and I still love the pants off this video. Sol_se does some really cool things with timing, and makes connections that are surprising and interesting. I know the whole TW fandom has seen every frame of S1 Jack/Ianto footage a thousand times, but she still manages to do new things with it.

Five Vids from Five Fandoms: (starting with ones that everyone's already seen, or should have).

New Frontier (Firefly) by

heresluck
I just discovered this vid this morning, because I am very gun-shy about Whedonverse vids. I said this in the vid comments and I'll say it again: I usually think nothing can be as good as Whedon source material. This is. This is amazing.

Zebra (Due South, Ray K.) by

astolat
I watched this video and I fell in love (/lust. Mostly lust) with Ray K. Then I started watching Due South. Three and a half seasons and thousands of pages of fanfic later...

Living Dead Girl (BtVS, AtS, Faith) by

bradcpu
Oh my god I love this vid. It's a very dark Faith character study with Great Big Angst. This feels like an argument vid to me: it goes places with the character that aren't spelled out in the canon, but that fall into place beautifully.

You're So Damn Hot (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto) by

melina123
If you're in the Torchwood fandom, you've probably seen this already. It brings me joy.

A Little Less Conversation (Multi: every OTP in the history of television) by

giandujakiss. This is the vid I show to people when I try to explain what vidders do. It's great fun and beautifully constructed. Plus, Inara/Kaylee FTW.

Bohemian Like You (Stargate Atlantis) by

astolat I tried for five vids by five different people, but here's an extra, because this is damn good. I was already following SGA when I first saw this vid, but I think it was here that I really fell in love with McShep. Astolat really brings the OTP, doesn't she?

ETA: Watch all six in one playlist (for a full half hour of streaming goodness). Don't forget to leave feedback!
