In space, no one can hear you preen

I just posted a new Battlestar Galactica vid, this one for a character I don't even like because of all the terrible suffering he's responsible for: Gaius Baltar. It's kind of freeing in a way to vid someone you despise, because to tell a story, you have to learn to love the characters you're telling about; you see different things in them than just fannish objects of affection. And it forced me to see all these things about Baltar I'd never really seen before.

Digging in the Dirt
Artist: Peter Gabriel
File: Divx avi, 37MB (I recommend VLC media player, which you can find a link for at the site)
Dr. Gaius Baltar, scientist, narcissist, wackjob: It really is all about him.

Thanks for feochadn for the halftime beta; I hope the rest of it lives up to your standards.

Wow, this was a really fascinating and complex look at Baltar, and his relationships with the various incarnations of Six. I've enjoyed watching Baltar on the show, but more for his interactions with Six than for the character himself. But your vid really brought everything together in a way that I think gives me a better handle on who he really is. If that made any sense. *g*

And fantastic song choice too.

Thank you, thank you... I'm so glad that others are enjoying it. I ended up being happier with this than I think I've been with any other vid in a very very long time, and it means a lot to me to know that other people are getting something out of it - especially in that I think I saw things in the character I had never seen before, and it's so cool to think that others are seeing the same things.
