It's amazing what a few little changes can do, isn't it?
The explanation really helps, I have to say, but even without it, I think your vid stands on its own.
That is so good to hear.
Very...poignant, and it would be melancholy, if it weren't for the images right before the three minute mark, with the dinner scene, the photograph, and the closed --> open moment.
Yeah, the song is a bit like that too...almost despairing, but hopeful in places.
I very much liked it, and it's another little push towards actually watching the original source.
OMG, the show is so, so, so, so good, I can't even say. Ahhhh, I love that show. (Uh. Minus most of the sixth and last season, anyway.)
Crazy, I know. Who watches original source material anymore?
Hee! I do, actually. I always nod my head when I read that fanworks can get people into a source, but that's totally a lie for me; I rarely read fic/watch vids without knowing the source.
Three hours their-lives-wise, or three hours (episodes) real-time? I'm sensing there's a story behind this?
Three hours in their lives. Basically, at this point they've been going out for not quite a year, and they're sitting on a plane waiting to take off and go to Russia. IIRC, a medical conference is involved. The plane keeps getting delayed, other irritations from the passengers and whatnot pop up, and they have a giant fight, after which Joel asks Maggie to marry him. (This always struck me as foolish.) She agrees, they decide to get off the plane and go back home, and once they get home, they decide just to live together for a while and then revisit the marriage thing. The next episode, every time they try to have sex, a gun randomly goes off somewhere nearby, so they decide it's just not working and Joel runs off to a Native village. (Uhhhh, the show relies heavily on magical realism. And did I mention that the sixth season was truly, astoundingly bad? I swear, the rest of the show is much, much better than these two episodes. Tonewise, the good seasons are actually extremely reminiscent of Due South. Joel's and Fraser's journeys mirror each other's in a lot of ways.)
