Anyone want to guess what I've been watching? I know, I'm Canadian and this is the first time I'm actually watching Due South, which I think
apetslife has been trying to pimp me into for even longer than the Fast and Furious franchise. I'm about halfway into my second disc, in the middle of an episode where there is a baby and a baby faced Mark Ruffalo, and this episode is making me SAD. Because however it ends up, it's going to be sad in some way and I don't ever like adoption storylines because it just... something always feels sad about the whole thing, whichever way the adoption goes. Which I suppose is realistic. I just don't have to like it. SAD.
But. Still. I have questions. Questions which the Due South people will have to answer for me, as I am, of course, very late coming to this party.
- Why does Fraser sleep on the floor?
- Why do they yell at the deaf wolf, whilst it is running away from them? Is this just habit? Because the wolf is, as they say often, deaf.
- How long are they going to make him stand outside the building like he's one of those guys in England with the funny hats? Although, I suppose that England isn't the only country ever to do that. I have a picture of my sister in Prague with a guard who's trying much less successfully to keep a straight face. The cute eighteen year old girl in front of him might have something to do with this, to be fair.
- The shirts on the Ray person. Oh. My. God. The. Shirts. I know it was the nineties. I remember the nineties. I just... and I thought Paul WALKER was bad for his clothing choices, but this is just hurting me right in my very soul. This... isn't going to go away, is it? I'm going to have to keep watching those shirts on that guy for ever. I weep.
- Just how many episodes are there? I am so, so confused. I bought something that said it was all three seasons, sixty-eight episodes in all. But then I look around and it's like, oh, there's season one, and two, and then another season one and two, and I don't know if I have all the episodes or not, and I'm very confused.
- I had forgotten what the cell phones used to look like. Wow. Those are just... wow. Seriously, wow. Did anyone actually have one of those? Because those are STYLIN'. This is not a question, so much, but I really couldn't go any farther without mentioning the cell phones.
- Not even a dozen episodes in, and they had an episode with an undercover cop (I think?) in a fetish Mountie uniform. I... wow. I just don't know that I've got any more to say than that too. Except seriously. In 1994? Fetish mounties and a SAM who had me ready to beat his ass just to get him to shut up? Dude.
- They really do everything together, don't they? I mean everything. They have breakfast together. They have lunch together. They have dinner and spend their off hours together. They bring each other their clothes, even when they're busy doing something else, and they walk each other's wolves (okay, only one of them has a wolf), and they just... seriously. Most married couples don't spend that much time together.
I'm a little bit afraid of this fandom, not gonna lie. I heard that they had wars.
In unrelated to that news, the babies are both disgustingly sick. Frog's worse than Monkey right now, with the head cold to beat all head colds, combined with a truly disgusting cough. I'm still not even going to get into the colours of what's coming out of their noses, except gross. I've had a humidifier going in the nursery around the clock, to the point that I hear white noise every time I close my eyes. I've clearly watched too much SPN because it's freaking me out. Still. Poor wee ones.
So if you don't see me right now, it's because I'm packing around wee aliens who are doing their best to wipe every yucky thing coming out of their noses and mouths on every shirt I own. Pray for me.
