What's a good way to avoid thinking about real life? To think about everything else!

I like crossovers. I like AUs. I don't like most crossovers and AUs because they usually suck, but when they're well-done, I might as well be in heaven. Therefore these two vids with constructed realities were real treats to run into.

House/Dead Poets Society, Wilson-centric. ( Wow, it's a well-done crossover! )

Heroes-gen, with focus on Claire, Niki and Monica. ( How to honor your show's female characters )

Now, a question: I use VCL media player to watch vids. Now, when I press "play", the vid starts playing as usual, but for some reason no matter what form it is, there is no sound for the first few seconds. There's no similar problem with Windows Media Player, for instance. How can I fix this? It's not a big problem, but it still pisses me off.

Despite some glaring flaws, this was the first episode in a while that made all anxious to see what happens next since S1. So I'm going to babble. Watch out for the spoiler train!

And now that the foaming is out of the way..

As far as non-Heroes things go, this Supernatural/Charlie the Unicorn-fusion breaks my brain. Apparently it broke Jared Padalecki's too, enough for him to rec it out in an interview. Also, while I doubt it was the video's intention, it made me miss Jo.

Halloween has passed, but I don't care. Here are two creepy Heroes-vids.

Goodnight Moon, by bradcpu

Ensemble. ( Possibly spoilery? )

Halloween, by sol_se

Sylar-centric. ( Slightly spoilery )

Silly ETA: So I did the obligatory "Which character are you test?", and for the first time in ever, I actually scored as my favorite character. ( Yay? )
