Polarbear, I kiss your feet.

I had to watch this video twice in a row. It's THAT good.

There's no way to even begin counting up all of the Style Points (tm) you just earned. There's so, so, so many. But I'll give it a try because that's what I do. I don't babble like a stunned fool, although at this point I'm rather tempted to. Here's my attempt at a coherent review, even when I'd rather just kiss your feet.

Style Points (tm) for Polarbear!!

For the kick-ass music selection, that really rocked.

For the usage of all things recruitment video, from the action-packed opening montage to the slow, reassuring list of nouns: teacher, healer, etcetera.

For the awesomely awesome text!! I loved the list of things to learn in the B*A*L*D* program (knife throwing, building ancient machinery, mystical knowledge!!). And I loved the story of Jack (this man is lost... in time he will be shown the way...) and the way you even got in the old "priceless" joke. And then, like I already mentioned, the nouns for Locke, and "only Locke has the key."

For the superb storytelling. From Jack's need to be saved by Locke, to Locke being everyone's hero, it was all well placed and expertly pulled-off.

For the overall awesomeness of the video!! You kept up a strong pace and a firm control over the clips. You didn't let the tempo lag with any long, lingering shots, but on the other hand it didn't go so fast that I couldn't tell what I was seeing. Putting Locke in slow-motion at the end was a stroke of genius; the visual coupled with the music just radiated coolness.

For the brilliant recruitment tagline: Don't Tell Me What You Can't Do!

This whole video was just fantastic. I'm going to watch it again as soon as I'm done here, but in the meantime, I cannot stress to you what a good job you did. This truly shone, that is to say, it was shiny with genius.

I kiss your feet. *mwah, mwah, mwah*
