Well, there's context and then there's context. :)
A clip used out of context of the scene it was in isn't necessarily out of context with the show if that makes any sense? If I'm building a narrative about the Doctor being lonely and I use a shot of him being sadface, then the specific context of the scene from which I ganked that shot is less important than tapping into expectation tied to the larger story I'm associating it with. One that might translate to someone who doesn't watch the show (because he looks SAD), but will have more reference to someone who knows the Doctor's backstory. The vidder can make them think of Gallifrey within the context of the vid even if the scene it was removed from really was about cheese.
