I think Mary van Deusen's vids came relatively late to YouTube (and thence to lj). I found them first on the ProsLib Fanvid dvd, and then a few were posted to the Circuit Archive, but iirc by the time Mary got them posted up, there'd been various faffs in fandom/livejournal/social media, and things were breaking up a bit, so there wasn't the big hurrah there might have been a few years before. Which I'm just saying might account for the relative lack of views. I think she posted them all up pretty much at once too, which was alot to look through at one time - I know I didn't manage it.
As for this vid... I like the way it started out as a Cowley-focused vid, and I like the idea of him as a gambler But then it seemed to be a B/C vid, which is not my jam. And then there were some Doyle clips too, and it even ended on Doyle clips, but I couldn't quite fit them into any story that the vid was trying to tell. I mean yes, they're all gamblers and Cowley gambles with them both, and it might just be that I'm looking for more where more doesn't exist, but I think I've got used to doing that with Pros vids, and so it's throwing me that I can't see it here. Or maybe I'm just missing something - what's the story of the vid?!
