personalapocalypseSkipping Day 10 for now. I wrote something for it, but I think it could stand to be edited. Too many feelings.
Ahem.
There are a lot of pieces of canon that I look forward to, although a lot of them just don't make as much sense out of context as I'd like. I'll give it a shot, though.
I'm going to go with the Medical Pavilion from the first Bioshock. (Fort Frolic is another favorite, but honestly, that area's too long to show properly.)
Videos of the Medical Pavilion.
(Walkthrough by Tom Shouf: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6)
It is, for all intents and purposes, the introduction to what Rapture has actually become, and to the lengths of madness that some of its citizens have fallen thanks to the genetic playthings they've made themselves into, and it just gets me, every time. (I couldn't find a very good highlights-reel of this sequence, so the walkthrough is a bit long. I enjoy watching all of it, since I like all of the little atmospheric things that you can find, but if you want something shorter, I can tell you that my favorite part is in Part 5 early on - the confrontation with the "boss" of this level, which amps up the creepiness to eleven.)
Ahem.
Day 11
In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favourite interview, a book) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I really would've chosen that one, if only I could've found a highlights video of it! But then, a lot of the creepiness gets cut out of it when you shorten it, so it's probably just as well.
