I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Hmmm...Hi Due South folks! I have no idea what your show is about....

(I have never seen an episode of the show.)

So there's this Mountie, Benton Fraser, who came to Chicago on the trail of his father's killer. And he has a wolf. Who is, I believe, deaf. And he gets partnered with this guy named Ray Vecchio, and they run about for two years Fighting Crime. Then Fraser goes on some sort of a trip, and when he comes back there's a new Ray, except he's pretending to be the old Ray (despite being Polish and blond rather than Italian and dark-haired). They continue to Fight Crime, and have quite a bit of sex (according to fanfic), and then they ride off into the sunset together on a dogsled (I'm fairly sure that's actually canon).

Plus, magical realism! Ghosts! Chicago!

So, which Ray is CKR?

That last switcharoo sounds a bit like Dr. Who.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

RayK is CKR.

Thrive to spite them

The show itself combined humor, drama, and magical realism. It's a cop buddy show, a fish out of water show.

Fraser has to deal with not only being a Canadian for small town, but also seeing the ghost of his dead father, Bob Fraser.

Fraser has to deal with the city, which he's not used to. Being hit on by women, which makes him uncomfortable. Especially being hit on by Frannie, Ray Vecchio's sister.

Also his commanding officer Meg Thatcher has a thing for him to.

The actors are really good also good looking. And there's great chemistry.

And there were huge RayV vs RayK wars in the fandom, not unlike the Doggett Wars of XF seasons 8-9. I am right, yes?

Katie, you've never seen an episode, and managed to come up with all that? Damn, I'm impressed!

I've seen maybe three episodes of Due South. But I have many more sitting in my living room, waiting to be watched. When my friend got her Season 1 DVDs, she loaned me her tapes...and I had to loan her my Buffy Season 5-7 tapes. Hmm. Somehow, this doesn't feel like a fair trade...

I need to set my Tivo to watch for DueSouth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Heya, folks! I've, uh, never watched an ep of DS or Farscape. But I'm very much looking forward to SV this season, so here I am...
