OMG when beccatoria made her Symphony of Science vid (Once Upon a Time) I didn't realize you'd also done one (and maybe given her the idea)! So incredible! The fact that there's an actor in common between the two shows makes the echo even stronger.

I have no idea what's going on in the source, but the themes in this vid are so clear and coherent. People = stars = atoms = life. It's visually stunning -- both deeply cosmic and deeply humane.

It makes me sad that you think Rise didn't succeed -- I think it's so fiercely defiant of the show's message and passionately steadfast about ROBOT NETWORKS (like, the Cylons' insurgency in the vid mirrors OURS). But I love this one!
