Well done. I very much enjoyed your careful work in blurring past and present as we all know must have been happening for Kirk after that wholly unexpected mindmeld.

Oh what. Did I just see what I think I saw? Because that was Awesome and I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS FANDOM (especially not the new one). What? This? Seriously? Is this for real? AWESOME BEYOND WORDS.

I'm not a fan of the ST reboot, being old skool and all, but I really like this k/s vid. The conceit of using the mind meld to open the door to TOS k/s footage works really well, as does having it break through at analogous moments in the reboot footage after the meld is finished. Initially it felt to me like young Kirk was getting little insights into the future as after effects of the meld, and then later that transfers from him to the audience. For me it was a fresh remixing of k/s, with some impactful scene matching, and it made me dislike the reboot just that little bit less! :)

I don't think that I've ever commented to say how much I love this video. The editing! The narrative! It's one of the videos that inspired me to watch the actual movie. <3

This is my very favorite NewTrek vid. The way you wove the two together amazes me every TIME.

Absolutely marvelous. I love how you intercut the original series and Kirk and Spock's scenes/reactions in with the reboot. Really nicely done.

Just came back to get the link so I could send to a friend and since it won't let me give more than one kudos I wanted to comment again because I love this vid SO MUCH. It just fills me with glee every single time I watch it.

Brilliant idea, pulled together perfectly, carried off without a hitch.
I haven't watched one of your vids in a long time, and not only do you definitely still have what made me adore your vids once upon a time in BtVS fandom, but you've most certainly evolved both technically and creatively, to my UTTER DELIGHT. <333

Stark and Loki meeting for the first time in canon.

This was REALLY well done! I absolutely love the part after "now I think I see the light" where Kirk so clearly GETS AOS Spock now, and Spock just...is out of his depth. The whole thing is great with the timing and the clips. Awesome XD

this blew me away. you are fantastic. thanks for making it. I could dance, with this rush of adrenaline and endorphines. Actually, I think I will go do some exercise while watching it again, once I finished this comment - I need to work out more, and my heartbeat is already elevated. This is fantastic.
(technical note: I've seen it on livejournal, but couldn't give feedback here, so I came here to search for it. Sadly, there are many things named "test", part of "test:fandom", as part of the AO3's infrastructure. :) Luckily you also have a searchable name.)

Rewatching, I think my favorite moment is the jump at 2:27. It reads like a leap of faith, because Kirk has Issues and a shaky past and wounds, but he is still brave as fuck and just risks it. Don't remember if that jump had anything to do with Spock in the movie itself, but here it reads as a powerful image of what's going on with the two of them.

Detail from The Angel of Death by Evelyn De Morgan

I'm so glad I found your AO3 account, because I've been watching this vid over and over and over since I first stumbled across it. I love everything about it: the mix of old and new, the way you used the "light" concept, the excellent melding of music and images, and the selection of clips. (I didn't realize till I saw your vid how many times Kirk and Spock got into each other's space.) The final part of the vid is simply awesome editing.
