Summary:
A celebration of pilots, captains, engineers, crew members, and the spacecraft they love to fly. (And race, and crash, and fix, and play in, and fight in, and...)

Review:
This is one of my favorite vids ever (no lie). It's a perfect combination of music and content, and as a life-long sci-fi fan I adore the love and care the vidder shows to the genre and joy the vid gets across. There are great little character moments, and I particularly liked how Bironic wove together similar situations in the INCREDIBLE HUGE amounts of fandoms into coherent sequences (wormholes, crashes, ode to engineers, and my favorite the spinning/crashing sequence).

Summary:
12 years later. A Clark/Lex story.

Review:
A mind-bendingly bizarre experience, this vid starts out as a sappy romance with Clark and Lex. And then SHIT GETS WEIRD. In a good way. And keeps getting weirder. A rollercoaster of weird. It's like the freaking Matrix of weird: no one can tell you how weird the created reality of the vid is, you have to see it for yourself. It's romantic...sort of. It's sad...sort of. If you're like me, you'll be laughing til you're crying (or vice versa, I'm not sure).

I'm just so impressed with the strange and convincing things the co-vidders were able to accomplish that left me wondering if there was an episode of Smallville that had...certain things in it. How did they do it? Impressive vidder magic, is how, along with evil genius minds.
