This is a gorgeous, emotional pan-Star Trek vid, weaving together characters and relationships small and great across all the series. It took me a moment to realize what the vidder was doing with the clip choices, but I loved it as soon as I got it. She works her way through TOS and TNG to DS9 and Voyager and then wraps back around to Tuvok meeting Janice Rand--and then the vid really gets going. (It doesn't leave out ENT or nu!Trek either, and actually gave me feelings about the latter.)

There are some brilliant pairings of lyrics and scenes in this as well, particularly for Sisko and Tasha Yar and Seven & Naomi. I cried. I did. This is my Star Trek in a nutshell--the big heroic moments, yes, but mostly the people. So many different kinds of love.

The comments over at Llin's are worth reading, too. <3

And while I'm actually posting here, a video I've been meaning to rec.

Jadzia Dax, ladies, gentlemen, and honourable thirds!

Jadzia Dax: Loosen Up

In this vid I tried to capture what I love about the character of Jadzia Dax: her sense of fun; her relationships with Ben, Quark, a whole bunch of Klingons, a few Trills, some more Humans, Bajorans, and other aliens; and her exquisite skill at the game of tongo. --thirdblindmouse

And she succeeds brilliantly.

I'll just leave this here.

I love languages. I am sadly a monolingual anglophone, but I am utterly fascinated by the ways in which human beings communicate with each other.
