Re: Stargate & Teal'c & Gloria Gaynor

Hi! Yay! I thought you were gone forever! *hugs you delightedly*

"I Will Survive" has already been vidded (at least once) in Stargate - and I'm actually quite fond of the vid. Back in 2002, Wimsy used Gloria Gaynor's version of "I Will Survive" for a Teal'c and "a special friend" vid. She said it was: "Meant to be a lighthearted look at one of the show's more, errr, interesting relationships."

*downloads instantly*

But, no, the SG1 + "I Will Survive" doesn't by itself make it a LKBV type idea. It's using the song in reference to the biggest angst arc of the entire ten year series: Daniel's ascension and return. And making it look as though Jack is like, "You fucker, you're back?" That is what adds the special badness to the idea, in my opinion.

...You know, the more I think about it, the closer I inch toward buying anyone willing to vid SG1 in SC, solely for that purpose. It could be a Bad Fannish Idea whose time has come.

And in a similar vein, I love Carol S' vid for Teal'c, "We'll Meet Again" which was made in 2004. Look in the Stargate section for the vid. Site is password protected, but worth the extra step.

Oh, god, yes. I love Carol's entire oeuvre; they were some of my first SG1 vids, those and the others from the triptych. (I am still deeply in love with the Schoolhouse Rock trio of SG1 vids.) Actually, they were some of my first vids, too. *overwhelmed with nostalgia*
