Delightful!

Seconding the reports of delight at the vid party and during the vid discussion panel. Missed you!

During the vid panel discussion, I mentioned how I liked that you paired They Might Be Giants -- an offbeat band whose genre most people do not easily categorize -- with The Animated Series, an entry in the Star Trek sequence that even completists often ignore or forget. They're both goofy and earnest and hard to pigeonhole, and I liked how the pairing emphasized that similarity.

Upon reading your launch post and rewatching "Just A Dream Away" I started thinking about how different ST: TAS's animation is from, say, Batman: The Animated Series's, and that then started thinking about "Just A Dream Away" in connection with the live-action Batman vid "I Am What I Am" by [personal profile] thingswithwings, which celebrates a different ridiculousness and campiness. (I think I had not seen "I Am What I Am" until the vid party!) One of the things I love about vids is how we can use existing visual and aural spectacle and make new spectacle to demonstrate, exalt, and -- in an emotional if not a logical fashion -- explain what we love. I got this particular happiness from your vid; thank you.
