Vid Rec

[grav_ity]

This is one of those vids that I rec because it is amazing, even if you don't really follow the canons. In my case, I watch Sherlock, I have an awareness of House and I have heard of Fortysomething, and it STILL blew my mind.

In the beginning, there was Sherlock Holmes. And Holmes brought forth the brilliant doctor House, embodied by the lovely Hugh Laurie. Who prior to that in Fortysomething played a slightly less brilliant doctor, Paul Slippery, who begat three sons, the eldest of whom was played by the equally-lovely-if-somewhat-peculiarly-named Benedict Cumberbatch. Who of course grew up to play Sherlock. And the Universe looked upon its work and pronounced it good. And then my head exploded.

A House is not a Holmes (okay, so that's not what the vidder calls it, but seriously, like I am going to pass it up!)

What I love about this vid is the mirroring of the two main canons (House and Sherlock), and the "flashbacks" to Fortysomething. It's totally not flashy, and the song isn't fast or beat-y enough for quick cuts. It's just this beautifully constructed thing, and if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch it a million more times.

You're still up!

Well, now you may have gone to bed, but it's been a while since that happened.

I've been awake...I just haven't been posting. :)

Regardless, we usually don't catch each other, you at night, me at dawn so much anymore. In large part because I don't usually wake up that early anymore.
