obsessive24 is pretty much a stellar vidder all the time. I basically watch everything regardless of whether I'm familiar with the source/fandom. Imagine the delight and squee when I saw a BSG vid by Nicky pop up on the flist. And true to my expectation, it both pleases and sparkles.

Go watch: Slow Down Ghandhi

It has

obsessive24's trademark gorgeous editing and it covers some really awesome meta about the abuse of authority on BSG.

It's a very compelling POV to explore the show from, especially since the working class doesn't get much narrative privilege on the show and when it does it comes from problematic characters like Gaius, Gaeta and Zarek. From the vidder notes:

"The intended focus is twofold: (1) The ruling elite as a dynasty born into itself, dangling Earth in front of the workers as a means of maintaining power; (2) The ruling class forming an inexplicable alliance with the Cylons - at least it must seem inexplicable to the proles, who were never privy to the elevated personal dramas of the elite - and the hubristic expectation that the proles will simply accept this and fall into line."

So go watch and squee and leave appropriately drooling comments.
