What I love most about this vid is how you showcased the fantastic action sequences in BSG without losing sight of your focus on Starbuck and how said sequences relate to that kickass action hero aspect of her character. Season three thus far has not been kind to Kara IMO, but this vid helped remind me of why I fell in love with the character in the first place.

The pacing in this is fantastic, moving along at breakneck speed without letting up (just like Kara, heh). I also just love how you carried out the parallels towards the end. I remember enjoying a Wondefalls video you had plugged at Reverie but this really just floored me. Awesome, awesome work. :)

PS: I've added you as a friend since I'd love to keep an eye out for future vids. I've read your post on this and don't worry, I'm not the type to be offended if you don't friend me back. :)

Hi! Thanks to Nicky for pointing you here.

Season 3 has definitely disappointed in regards to Kara. I'm not remotely interested in soapy love triangles squares.

I'm glad you enjoyed the action sequences because, honestly, I am never confident editing the ass kicking stuff. But it's that aspect of Kara that attracted me to BSG in the first place so I had to give it a go.

I've friended you back by the way. I think you make great vids and although I don't always comment I always watch and enjoy what you do.

Oh wow, thank you, that means a lot coming from someone as talented as you.

And yes, I wholeheartedly agree about the love square. Instead of adding drama (well, the good kind) it's just made me become irritated with everyone involved. At least pretty much everything else about this season has been pretty strong, but still. I want my badass Starbuck back.
