All the vids

Two days before I flew to Moscow a friend of mine offered me the complete new Doctor Who series, including Torchwood. (It was our debate coach. Have I mentioned that our debate club is full of geeks/fans/however they want to call themselves? It's wonderful.) Unfortunately I didn't have the time because he lives on the other side of the city. I regret that now: I keep seeing Doctor Who squee and vids, but I don't want more spoilers than I already know. I only watched Handlebars, but that doesn't count. Everyone should watch "Handlebars", it's great.

Actually I haven't even had the time yet to watch Firefly. I'll only become busier, so it doesn't look good, but I will find the time. I have the DVD since March!
(What if it's really, really good? I don't want another fandom! I'm busy with SGA and vids right now, and it's comfortable. I don't have the time or energy. /whining)

Instead I've apparently decided to watch all the vids. There are so many of them, and they are so shiny! Why have I never seen them before? And why does the download take so long?

I want to rec lots of them, but that turned out to be harder than I thought because I have things to say about many of them without yet knowing how, exactly. I have an entire folder titled "Oh John Sheppard" and almost all of the vids are fairly dark/sad (add to that the John/pain/meta vids), I have four Elizabeth vids that are absolutely fascinating to compare, and the "funny" folder is worth gold on stressful days. I have some Rodney and Teyla vids, hardly any Ronon, and no Woolsey or Jennifer :(
And some vids for other fandoms or multi-fandom that are just stunning.

Do you have any favorites that I should see? *puppy dog eyes*

The only one I'm reccing right now is Scarborough Fair by [livejournal.com profile] keewick, because it was already down and they were so nice to put it online again at my request. Go see before it's gone again :)

Firefly is good. Really really good.

I'm bookmarking your post because I've seen, like, five vids ever (including Handlebars, which is the best vid OF ALL TIME) and recs seem like a good way to find more good ones. In my copious free time, sob ....

You could start with kuwdora's list of SGA vid recs (http://kuwdora.livejournal.com/378637.html), or vanitashaze´s multi-fandom vid rec list (http://vanitashaze.dreamwidth.org/61159.html), or by watching lots of vids by [livejournal.com profile] chayiana, [livejournal.com profile] hollywoodgrrl, [livejournal.com profile] obfreak, [livejournal.com profile] newkidfan, lim (http://www.kekkai.org/lim/)... Sorry. Not helping with the time problem, I know, but I'm feeling very enthusiastic right now ;-)

I can give you more specific recs if you're looking for anything/tell me what you like :)

And yay! I am looking forward to Firefly. I already have several vids bookmarked...
