Notes: So many thanks to absolutedestiny both for having the perfect song for me and for a kickass beta. Also kudwora and sweetestdrain for adding notes and hand holding the hell out of me when I got terrified of making this vid.

Feedback of all kinds is most welcome, and will not be suspected of terrorism.

I don't know whether you made this vid with this in mind, but I can tell you that for me at least it functioned as a very effective recruiter vid! I've watched it numerous times, without being at all familiar with Homeland beforehand. My reaction boils down to: "I'm fascinated! WHAT IS GOING ON. Clearly I have to watch this show." (Fortunately, immediately after watching the vid, I discovered that my library has the DVD set of the first season, so I should be able to!)

I mean, I believe I can discern the basic premise of the show just from the vid (he's captive for a really long time before he comes back; she suspects he was turned while he was over there), but the vid is largely composed of all these little details that would obviously carry great meaning for me if I knew the show, but since I don't they are tantalizing and mysterious hints instead. (Those tapping fingers—coded communications?—the significance of the child—the details of the bombing plot—and, like, did she seriously just engineer a meeting with the person she's secretly surveilling by bumping into him? because that seems like a plan with which nothing could possibly go wrong—)

It's a great vid. So I wanted to tell you that, and to thank you for introducing me to the show. I will enjoy exploring it. :-)
