High Voltage is a Stargate vid by kuwdora that premiered at Vividcon 2011. Using footage from all three Stargate shows, it is a vid about "the Ancients and everything the shows never actually seemed to realize they were saying about them".[1] The vid was praised both by people familiar with the shows and those who had never seen them. It was discussed at the in-depth review panel at the con.[2]
Recs and Reviews
It's so epic and so beautifully constructed that, despite the fact I don't know any of the sources and had never heard of "The Ancients," I still came away from the first view thinking it was one of the most memorable vids of the con.[3]
I was at Vividcon last weekend. I don't have anything big to say about it right now, but kuwdora made the most amazing Stargate vid ever and anyone with familiarity of the Stargate 'verse needs to see it. It sums up all of canon (yes, all 17 seasons + movies) and turns it all into this amazing analysis of the myth arc I'm convinced the show creators had no idea they were spinning. It's really phenomenally amazing. Go, watch now. I'll wait.[4]
Can we say it's character development if it's species development? If it's about the development of our understanding of and relation to the Ancients? This fic takes pieces from all of the Stargate shows, as our understanding of the Ancients changes over the years. This is about how they see themselves vs. how we see them, and the terrible legacy of their choices that they left their descendants to pay the price for. It's so well done.[5]
