I think you're right about the challenges of vidding House -- as you say, it's the dialogue that makes the show (and Hugh Laurie's dazzling ability to bring Greg House to life in a way that doesn't blunt his rough edges, but also somehow allows us to identify with him and feel compassion for him occasionally despite what a jerk he is), and that's hard to translate purely into images. But astolat managed it, and it's one of my very favorite vids.

And "Boom Boom Ba" was the first vid I saw at Vividcon this past summer, when I walked into my first vidshow of the morning, and it blew me right away. I'm not a Xena fan, but the vid was stunning.

Whee! Thank you; your post has made me a happy fangirl this morning. I needed to remember this stuff. :-)
