Awww thanks guys! Ali thanks for saying you enjoyed my beat use...I always struggle with that and feel like its son uncreative when I do use it. Thanks so much!

Wow, I really enjoyed that Nikki. Great use of voiceovers and lyric interpretation, as always. This was a very nice, simple sum up of that episode - it looks so professional too, like something they'd put on the DVD or something You always do great work and this is no exception. Hope you kick ass in the contest!!!

When I saw you 'd chosen 'Tabula Rasa', I was wondering how you were going to present it in an interesting way when it didn't feel like we got much new insight into Kate's past (not as much as in say 'Born To Run' or 'What Kate Did') but I really liked what you did with it. The song choice was perfect (I didn't even know it existed -- I was surprised that you'd never used it before! ) and so was your audio and I thought it was great that you stuck to a kind of character study based on what we did learn in the episode rather than just recapping the plot. It made it a lot more powerful and emotional. Oh and I know how much you hate beat use so I just wanted to say that even though it was simple, I thought it fit the song really well. Anything more would have been overkill. Good luck in the contest!

Wow, thanks so much Abby and Samara for such nice comments. Samara, the reason I've never used that song before is b/c most of it has really weird lyrics but it does make me think of Kate when I hear it and I've always wanted to use it but just didn't know how with some of those lyrics so this contest was perfect for it since I could cut it down. I just used the beginning and then the ending verse.
