Reactions/Reviews

"Over the weekend I watched a couple of tapes filled with fan-made music videos (clips from the series are cut and edited to accompany a song). Most of them were Blake's 7, but there were also a few from both Star Treks, Robin of Sherwood, and the Professionals. The last is the only series I haven't seen at all and watching the videos made me realize how much the context of scenes means!

In one of the books on fandom, _Enterprising Women_ I think, the author says that the tapes she watched made sense to people who weren't familiar with the series. I don't see how this can be true when much of the poignancy or humor results from the scene's relationship to the song words, and the impact of the scene relies on its context. I did watch one ST video that would be understandable to anybody whether they knew the series or not, but even in that one the humor had another level if you know Kirk's character and about slash.

Of the videos I watched, BTW, my favorite B7 ones were "Walking and Falling" by Tashery S..."
