Babylon 5 vid

[sholio]

I have a folder on my hard drive in the vids folder labeled "to watch later," where I put fanvids I've downloaded for canons I haven't watched yet, but plan to.

The oldest one in the folder was a Babylon 5 vid from **2005**. It's entirely possible I created this folder just for that vid, and I've brought it with me through at least five or six different computer changes.

Astonishingly and against all probability, I looked it up on Youtube and it's still online. So not only can I finally watch a vid I downloaded 20 years ago to watch on some future date when I had seen the source canon, but you can too. (And it's good.)

I am delighted that it is still on YouTube, but I am even happier that it survived on your successive hard drives.

I really can't get over how long I've clearly had this sitting around in a folder for later watching when I'd seen the show. I don't think I expected it to take 20 years to get there.

That's incredible!

[sholio]

Playing the long game, apparently. :D

[sheron]

That's amazing!

I'm glad you finally are able to enjoy the vid that your past self thoughtfully preserved for you :D

Good job, 2005 me. xD

I love that one! I wrote subtitles for Nenya to watch it yonks ago. Dancing in the Light by Berkley is another fave from the same era. Which I'll e-mail you, as it doesn't seem to be online anymore.

(I haven't been commenting on your B5 posts because busy, but I've been enjoying lurking.)

I'm glad you're enjoying, and definitely no obligation to comment! I am delighted with the other vid as well. :D

Haha, amazing! And thank you for sharing the vid.

ETA: Oh, and in addition to the recent ensemble vid I know you already watched, my most memorable (I hesitate to call it "favorite" because it's pretty dark) vid for B5 is Runs in the Family, which is about PsiCorps/telepaths (Lyta-centric, but I would call it a general PsiCorps vid). (Song is "Runs in the Family" by Amanda Palmer, in case that's relevant information.)

I can see exactly how that concept would follow from that song.

The vid was my introduction to the song, and damn that packed a punch!

And thank you re: icon! It is my favorite Babylon 5 icon, by the brilliant iconsbycurtana back in the day.

Understandably! I just watched it and love that it made two lyrical connections which I had thought of and more that I hadn't. Thanks for the link.

Nice! I never have had any icons for Babylon 5. Metropolis (1927) has always stood in for general sci-fi.

That is my favorite thing about vids to songs I already know, so I'm glad it delivered in that regard! (and, my pleasure! :)

Makes sense! I only have sci-fi fan osmosis-level knowledge of Metropolis, but it seems like a worthy stand-in for general sci-fi :) (I guess my "general sci-fi" icon is probably this other one from B5...)

[sholio]

Thank you for the link; it's excellent! (I also love your icon.)

Glad you enjoyed/were traumatized by it like I was :)

Great vid.

I'm glad you enjoyed!
