equinox_exchange, I received an incredible, lovely Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles vid. To Josh Ritter's "Change of Time"!!!
Change of Time (8 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Sarah Connor, John Connor
Additional Tags: Time Travel, Fanvids
Summary:
The theme of Equinox this time around was alternate universes and time travel and other dimensions and all the different storytelling possibilities they present. TSCC is a show built on time travel; We know there are characters from at least three timelines, if not four or five, engaging in conflict throughout the show. And what's particularly lovely are the moments when the show lets the time travel be about something other than the big Humanity vs. Skynet conflicts of the movies. I love how a continuous thread in Derek Reese's story is how he has gone back from living in the hellish future to living in an idyllic past. He is still a soldier and he never forgets the stakes he is fighting for, but the moments when he gets to eat an ice cream cone and forget the war are so delightful.
This vid takes that concept of time travel as both respite and mechanism of war and filters it through both John and Sarah's evolving perceptions throughout the series. We see as Sarah starts the series fighting, leaping through time and space to try to outrun her history, and the vid shows the costs she pays for her fight and leads us to the ending where she steps back and stops trying to run. And we see as John battles the constant disorientation and frustration of having been born into a war he never asked for, but watches as others keep paying a price and finally decides to leap forward himself and accept his responsibility for the battle. TSCC's cliffhanger ending is immensely frustrating, because it leaves so many mysteries open, but this vid does an amazing job of accepting it as a valid endpoint for the narrative.
I am so lucky to have received it, and I commend you to it to shower it with praise.
Myequinox_exchange vid will be revealed on Saturday. I'll probably post about it on Sunday.
