Eee, this is amazing! Great song choice, and the whole thing comes together just wonderfully well. Especially loved the "disguise is specialized" bit and the captain's chair montage and eee, just all of it.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D The disguise bit was really fun to do. Well actually all of it was really fun to do... glad you enjoyed!

I've just watched this for the third time, and it gets even more awesome every time! ♥ I especially love the bit from "She'll make a grown man cry" to "She'll make you want to believe", and the very last shot.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Yaay, thank you! And ee, that was one of my favourite parts to do so I'm glad it worked for you! :D

[theanonsisters.livejournal.com]

Best Star Trek vid ever!

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Wow, high praise! Thanks so much! :D

[sophia-gratia.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. Holy shit holy shit holy shit.

This might be my favorite of your vids so far. As you know, this is a strong statement. To catalogue all of my favorite bits would require more than LJ's character limit will allow, so I'll limit myself:

* Guinan with her gun.
* The cut from Nechayev to Leeta around 'cold and hot'.
* The cut from Deanna to Pulaski around 'confessional lips / professional fingertips'
* Moogie-the-sinner
* Katrine swag.
* The fight sequences from 2:08ff.
* Action!Janeway 'with her toys like a boy'
* The sequence of command chairs from 2:48ff.
* The final sequence of smiles, and especially closing on B'Elanna.
* Your really excellent use of minor characters.
* Your juxtaposition of emotional moments (hugs etc.) with action moments – there are so many ways to be a tough girl, which is one of the finest lessons of Trek's women.

... In short, I fucking love this and I'm sure glad you're working for the other side. *g*

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! And youre very welcome to rec. :D

[fickery.livejournal.com]

This is unbelievably fantastic. I don't even have words to tell you how awesome this is. I love the little mini-montages of them running, spying, in disguises, winning at games; and I love how many minor characters and guest stars you included while still concentrating on the featured players. Love this so, so much. :) Amazing work.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much for reccing! :D

[asteriski.livejournal.com]

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this. Just THANK YOU for bringing this video into the world :D

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!

[chesari.livejournal.com]

AWESOME! :D :D :D

Aside from seconding everything that everyone else has said about how fricking cool this is, I also LOVE how many minor characters you included. Sito Jaxa, Nurse Ogawa, Admiral Nechayev, Pel, both Wildmans, and the list goes on...

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Yeah, I tried to get in as many as I could, there's plenty I couldn't fit though...

[scrollgirl.livejournal.com]

This is such an awesome celebration of the women of Trek. I adore it!

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you, glad you liked it! :D

[atraphoenix.livejournal.com]

Genius! You picked a perfect song, the perfect clips and you included minor characters as well as the obvious choices. I loved it.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Yaay, glad you enjoyed it! :D

[hibernate.livejournal.com]

Oh godddd, I love this so much! Excellent choice of music and clips; I made little squee noises at so many parts. :D

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Hurrah, squee was what I was hoping for! Glad you enjoyed! :D

[rhipowered.livejournal.com]

Wicked clever use of parallel structure and the song itself. Bravo, lovely!

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked it! :D

[leyenn.livejournal.com]

OMG I love this so damn much! Awesome clip choices from beginning to end. Trek women ROCK!

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! And they really do!

[netgirl-y2k.livejournal.com]

That's completely awesome and happy-making!

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you enjoyed it! :D

[beccatoria.livejournal.com]

*waves at you* HI.

I'm not really a big Star Trek fan (though I do like it casually) so I think I missed a lot of the context of the clips here, but it's great to see you able to reach through such a breadth of canon for your vid - as a Star Wars fan who largely likes the expanded universe which is rarely in video format, it makes me super jealous! ;)

How much you love all these women really comes through in the vid, and makes me feel like I wish I knew them all better. (Though I do at least know who most of them are! Yay!)

Anyway, it was great fun to meet you at the weekend. :)

*uses only trek-related icon that's not Sisko calling bullshit on things*

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

*waves back*

Thank you! Ooh, isn't it a bummer when you really want to vid but there's no source? I feel the same way about the Doctor Who Big Finish audios.

It was awesome to meet you too!

*uses one of literally dozens of trek-related icons*

[archersangel.livejournal.com]

excellent!

Thanks! :D

[oparu.livejournal.com]

this is just all sorts of fabulous. you had Toreth!! I <3 her, and your clip choice is incredible...Tasha Yar and something about hips made me giggle. Much much glee.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Ah, Toreth is amazing, I would watch The Toreth Show. Glad you liked it! :D

[rainshaded]

I absolutely love this video. I'm trying to pick out something in particular, but it's just a big rosy cloud of awesome.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Yay, so glad you enjoyed it! :D

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! I can't believe how many awesome scenes you managed to cram into this vid. ;) And, as with all things that make me happy about Star Trek, I am left with the overwhelming urge to go home RIGHT NOW and watch "The Killing Game" for the eight billionth time.

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D

Watching The Killing Game is never a bad plan. ;)
