vid tricks

Is it just me, or does anyone else hate vids that trick you?


I was watching a Spuffy vid recently, and stopped halfway through in digust, because, mid-vid, Buffy told Spike she loved him.

Except this wasn't last-minute fiery-hands I-love-you - this was sitting at a table and looking up seriously to say I love you.
Because they'd stolen the Buffy-and-Angel "I love you" and pretended that Buffy was saying it to Spike instead!

I just can't stand it. Even if you can't, right then, see what the character's looking at, they were looking at something particular in the original clip, and changing it is just wrong.


So, is it just me?

To be fair, what are the odds that in the original clip the actor was looking at a stand-in, or empty space, or the back side of another set? What are the odds that the original words were spoken alone in a booth with headphones on the ears?
