1. "Detachable Penis" is so freaking excellent I can't stand it! It is perfection and it's great to know someone who isn't even a fan of the show also thinks it's awesome! (God, you just gave me a hankering to go and watch some Pros.) Something that makes this vid even better for fans is the context of the original clips. Obviously a casual fan can find the vid satisfying (as you have). But knowing the context of the clips (Doyle really DID "lose" his gun! they really are discussing buying it back in *that* clip) gives the vid an even richer layer of meaning and satisfaction for someone who knows the show. If that makes any sense.
2. Sigh. I just don't *get* "Four Years." I don't see the slash! God, what is wrong with me? (Two invocations of God already in this reply--it truly must be the Holy Season!) I have to admit that SGA slash vids that really work for me are humor vids. I just don't see the longing and heartache and angst that other fans see. There was recently a discussion in some comm of the moment McShep fans saw the slash, and many agreed that there was a moment in the pilot when John ran off some mathematical calculation and Rodney looked at him all gooey--I went back and watched it and saw *nothing*! ::weeps:: I love reading McShep but I just don't really see it in the show.
The Pros vid isn't even technically a slash vid and yet I see the slash bleeding out all over the place there. Why don't I see it in SGA? Seriously, is there a name for this condition that I seem to have?
