Awww, that was terribly adorable - poor Joe, his life is hard, all those Immortals to manage (they'd be troublesome friends even if he wasn't supposed to know any of 'em personally!) But they all love their Joe, and he loves them, so it's all good ^^

[sholio]

Thank you! :) And yeah, I think you summed it up pretty well - this is a really high-maintenance group of friends he's got, even aside from that pesky issue where he's not supposed to be talking to them in the first place ...! But love wins out in the end, even though it's hard.

This is lovely! Aw, Joe, you're so terrible at your job. But we love you anyway.

[sholio]

Thank you! Hee ... he really is, isn't he? But he's a great friend. *hearts*

The song fits perfectly for Joe.

[sholio]

Isn't it a perfect Joe song? Thank you!

Seriously, love it more with every watching, and that part I was being picky on? NAILED IT! ^__^ I so look forward to more HL vids in the future from you! ^_- *huggles*

[sholio]

Thank you so much! I don't think you were being picky at all -- there really were timing issues in that area, and I really appreciate you pointing them out to me! ^_^

SO MANY HL VID IDEAS. I just want to vid ALL the things!

*grins helplessly* Oh, Joe. How so awesome?

Also, oh wow, this song was so perfect!

[sholio]

Thank you! :) Joe is awesome! And isn't that a great song for him?

[sentientcitizen]

Oh, my. Was I supposed to find this vid as terribly sad as I did? It's just - Joe. Poor Joe. Caught between his oath and his ethics. And so adorable in his conflicted state. *huggles him*

[sholio]

Thank you! I think it is a sad vid in some ways, because he spends so much of the series struggling with this - and yet, obviously his friends are worth it to him. Oh, Joe.

Joe! ♥ They're all so good for each other, and he's a big part of that, I think.

[sholio]

Thank you! :) I love how close they all are - and, yeah, in a lot of ways Joe (and the bar) are sort of the fulcrum for the group.

Oh, I love this so much! What a beautiful, adorable, creative vid. Great song choice, and I love the way you show Joe's reluctant but rock-solid place in the Clan MacLeod. Beautiful vid.

ETA: I would love to be able to download this to share it, but the dl link doesn't seem to be working. Thank you!

[sholio]

Ack, thank you! It's been fixed and should be working now; sorry for the inconvenience!

And thank you for the comments, too. :) I love the tension between Joe's Watcher ethos and his friendships with the Immortals in his life, and I love how, well, like you said -- his position with them is rock-solid, even if there is every reason in the world that it shouldn't be.

JOE!

Beautiful joe-centric vid. You really captured a lot of the aspects of his personality and his interaction with the immortals there.
Great!

Thank you!

[sholio]

Thank you so much! :)

They really are such wonderful characters; I love them so.

[genteelrebel.livejournal.com]

This was beautiful! Such a great, great song choice for Joe. I've got to share this with every Joe-phile I know, now. :)

[sholio]

Thank you again! :) Isn't it a perfect Joe song?

[trobadora]

Finally catching up on things, and OMG. This is fantastic. Perfect for Joe! ♥

[sholio]

Thank you! <3 I'd been kinda wanting to vid Joe anyway, and then I heard this song and knew I'd found my perfect Joe song. *g*

[lapillus]

Lovely to see a Joe vid!

The download link, however,doesn't seem to be working.

[sholio]

Thank you! :)

The download link was broken earlier, but it should be working fine now. Please let me know if you continue to have trouble and I'll see what I can do to fix it!

[lapillus]

Working just fine now :)

[sholio]

Excellent! Thank you for letting me know. :)
