This is really happening at the wrong time of my life. Dang it.

(Screw "where's my flying car?", I want to know where my trip to Alpha Centauri is. Or even the Moon. Or, hell, even LEO.)

things done with Babylon 5 clips

Total Eclipse of the Heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzfN3fCHAdM

Quite well done, really. Pretty good connection with the themes of the show on one hand, and with the song lyrics on the other.

To paraphrase what one of the commenters said, despite the fact that this is quite impressive, it's hard to know how much credit to give the creator given that JMS practically handed this out for free. (Not that I believe that there was actually such a relationship; the character of this relationship in Bab5 was complex and deep and painful and rewarding but almost certainly nonsexual for a variety of reasons...not that that's stopped the Bab5 slash, I'm sure.)
