    You should get the Oscar for this video. I MEAN IT!!!! The timing is impecable!!! On another note, oddly enough, I think a show like this could really work……seriously, I think it would be a great idea and would unit Magnum type fans with the science fiction fans…why not???

    Your choice of shots was absolutely spectacular. Especially the last one with Ford being “cute” the way Selleck is in the final shot of the Magnum opening sequence. Your matching music to video is 10 out of 10. As someone who has done a few of these himself, I tip my hat to you.

    Junglenril said it best; absolute genius!
