Promises to Keep (Aka more dead Prussians)

The Other Days

And speaking of Disco, Festivids went live, and I saw there were six wonderful new Star Trek: Discovery vids! I enjoyed them all, but me being me, these were my favourites:

Be Brave, a portrait of the Sarek-Amanda-Spock-Michael family in its complexity. The vid mainly uses Discovery footage, but somehow managed to integrate footage from TNG and the movies in a way that works perfectly, despite the different actors for the characters. The hands as visual threads throughout are also just beautifully appropriate.

Children's Work: this one focuses on the Michael & Spock relationship and is also magnificent, touching and awesome in the way the song lyrics match the images.

You should see me in a crown: Mirrorverse Georgiou; the vid captures how dangerous she is, her intense relationship with Michael, and it has an elegant sensuality very fitting its subject.
