And vids like this are the reason why you rule the universe and I suck! I hate you. Now excuse me while I go over in the corner and weep silently at my silly Scully attempts and curse your name profoundly. Thanks! [/end uncalled self-pity]

I never came around watching the last few eps of Hex, but this vid is so gorgeous and I think you throughout captured Thelma’s positive attitude regarding her afterlife. She wouldn’t change a thing even with all the pain she endured and losses she faced ultimately she is still herself, stronger than ever, not a sidekick anymore and ready to fight. I could be talking out of my ass without the second half of season 2 unseen, but your editing made Thelma so much part of the world around her, tied into it that she seems more alive than the rest of the bunch. Fantastic character study and wonderful video to watch on repeat, how come the show doesn’t seem so stupid when you vid it? I can’t wrap my head around that fact!

Wow. I had no clue what was going on, but I really liked it!

*facepalm*

You know, I'm gonna have to go and find out what's going on now.

Thank you so much for getting me into another show, Charmax! :P

Never seen this show or what it's about. When it comes to some vidders it doesn't really matter so much, but for every one of your vids to which I don't know the source, I just want to kick myself because there's so much there, and I know I'm missing it.

So, technical aspects only. I'm in perpetual awe of your mad pacing skills, and how beautifully your vids flow. I think it says a lot that I didn't notice the cutting all the way through - the way it's put together just looks so amazingly professional. My favourite bit is 1:32 with the stop-and-start drumming. The lull followed by the action is just gorgeous!

Loved how it built up toward the end, especially the love scenes ~2:00. Don't have a clue what it all means, but the momentum just takes my breath away.

Now I'll have to watch this show! :D A beautiful and accomplished video - but then, have you ever made one that wasn't? ;)

I haven't seen all of HEX and your vid did not spoil it for me. I was a little spellbound to be honest. Moves well. Good work and great song.

Thelma! Thelma is one of my fav all time characters because of her attitude about her afterlife. She makes the most of it, and always keeps moving forward no matter what.

This was utterly beautiful, and I can't wait to watch it again! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

(I just realized that Ihave no Thelma icon. I must fix that!)

This was wonderful. I kinda lost interest with Hex around episode five of season 2 but this really has made me want to watch the rest of it. I want to find out what's going on with Thelma and that other ghost. Thanks!

I still haven't made it past the pilot, woe!

But of course I watched this anyway 'cause *duh*. ;D And it was gorgeous. Empowering is a wonderful way to describe the mood you've painted. I may not have a clue what's going on in the season 2 stuff, but the sense of her never stopping that push forward to keep fighting comes through beautifully. And it's a lovely song match. Plus credits! Liked seeing the title over the intro, and I especially enjoyed the end titles.
