Reactions/Reviews

  • "This vid is different than other Lee vids as it doesn't seem to focus on one period of time or season. The music is interesting too, it very faintly reminds me of "Wander My Friends." Makes Lee seem like an old-time hero. An old-time reluctant warrior. You may not have wanted the heroism there but it's there to me." ~ feedback at the vid announcement.
  • "A daring vid, I think, on a couple of counts: First, the offbeat choice of music - offbeat for not being either a sentimental melody or the driving beat that suits BSG's action sequences so well. But more effective in that sense for forcing one to think about the words and who Lee is and who he's turned into. (I'm a little sad, actually, thinking of how often Lee seems to feel he's let someone down.) And second, for choosing cuts from less-popular episodes and arcs (hello, Captain Noodles and Black Market!). You're right, though - much as I choose to forget some of those moments, they still add up to Lee." ~ feedback at the vid announcement.
