Vid meme day 1

[sasha_feather]

I've really been enjoying the fan vid meme that's been going around so I'm going to try my hand at it. I feel I should say, I haven't been watching vids for very long.

Day 1 - A vid that made you start watching a brand new show

Can't Touch This by chagrined/bitter_crimson

This is a kink vid about the canonical kinky relationship between Ned and Chuck on "Pushing Daisies", a magical realism show. Ned and Chuck are in a romantic and sexual relationship and yet they cannot touch each other, or Chuck (who is a lady btw) will die, for reasons relating to magic. They have clever ways to deal with this. I am watching this show via Netflix and enjoying it--it's silly, visually rich, often fluffy. I kind of have to be in the right mood for it, and I like the character arcs and family situations better than the episode plots, which almost universally involve solving a bizarre murder, and which generally bore me. The secondary characters, played by Chi McBride and Kristen Chenowith, are awesome. So, it's pretty good! But the vid is better than the show, for reasons of funny, creative kink, a perfect song choice, and the rich visuals of the source, and you don't need to see the show to watch the vid.

Yay!

I heart Pushing Daisies, although of course it has some episodes that make me go 'ergh,' like the fat hate one. But it's very...fresh and different, visually.

Yeah I just saw the fate hate one and I was like UGH NOOOOO!!!!

I know! That episode left such a sour taste in my mouth, because I was enjoying the show on a kind of silly, if sometimes a bit gender essentialist, level, and then, BAM.

I think Bryan Fuller has some serious fat bigotry going on, because it came up in Wonderfalls too. :(
