Episode Notes: due South "Free Willie"

[sara_merry99]

This episode is a *great* follow-on to the absolutely exquisite pilot. This episode has several scenes that absolutely make me laugh out loud! And we get introduced to Elaine Besbris, Huey and Gardino, Beau Starr as Welsh. All so awesome

Part the first

[spikedluv]

I was so good this week! I actually got the ep watched yesterday, and my notes typed up...I was going to be so ready when you posted your comments, lol! And then I saw them just before I was closing everything up to go to bed and I just didn’t have the brainpower left to comment, so I’m just getting here now. *g*

The theme music is to die for! This is the only show I can recall where, the first time I watched the DVDs, I actually sat through the opening just because I love the song. (There are soundtracks, and somewhere they were downloaded, if you want to ask around...or I could try to remember where I DL’d them from.)

The Riv!! See the difference? I had no idea what the other car was, but I knew it wasn’t this one. *g*

Fraser memorizing the names killed me, lol!! They’re all probably going, “Weirdo!” *g*

(And honestly, in the face of Disappointed!Fraser I'd have been handing over the purse and the gun with no further questions and a whole bunch of apologies.)Bwahahaha, yes! Oh, Fraser, he says so much with that pretty

Part the second

(I didn't realize I'd yapped so much!)

So why doesn't Ray want Fraser trying to rescue people around the city? I mean I get that Fraser can't save everyone.

Because he can’t, and my guess is that Ray’s not sure if Fraser’s taken into account the size of Chicago vs, say, Inuvik, where it might in fact be possible to save every widow and orphan to cross your path. I think it’s more that Ray doesn’t want Fraser to get hurt by trying to save everyone when it’s not possible to do so.

I'm not sure what hotlinking is but I gather it's bad, so maybe it'd be nicer if you didn't.

Bwahahaha! *wipes eyes*

Soundtrack Link

Someone lit a fire and I decided to do some updating of my website, and I started with due South (mainly because there's so little to add, lol, so I feel good and am not completely swamped *g*). When going through my bookmarks to update the links page I found the soundtrack thingy I mentioned above. I did not check the links, so I can only presume that they all still work.

Yay!! Thanks!!

I've already got the music from the first CD (bought it from iTunes) but it'll be awesome to get the other tracks that are available there.

Fair enough. I guess I remember getting this same little speech from my father when I was young and wanted to save the world.

And I'm really not sure he did me a favor at all...

Anyway, personal musings aside, I do like the idea that Ray's trying to protect Fraser. That's so cool!

I had mine ready before I went to bed on *Saturday* but I didn't want to jump the gun, so I held off on posting them. :)

I'll hold off less long in future. :)

The Riv!! See the difference?

You're absolutely right. This is a much spiffier car!

Honestly, though, we never see anyone else working in the consulate except for Thatcher, and eventually Turnbull, so maybe the consulate is easy pickin’s after Fraser goes off duty. *g*Presumably there are whole offices full of diplomats, and secretaries to the diplomats and people who handle visa requests and passport renewals and other strictly diplomatic/international relations matters. We only ever see the portion of the consulate's staff that is specifically RCMP

Would they know that *then* they were supposed to move? If they were wrong, would they get in trouble for breaking formation? And how would they recognize a smart marauder

LOL I wish I could answer that for you. *g*

Unrequited love is such a horrible thing.

Hee, yes it is! And you know you wanna!!

that red shirt was just so...mmmmm... But the blue is awesome too--does incredibly good things for his eyes. And the jeans, so nice!

Mrphgl! Um, what? *g*

*whispers* I might have written something about the sandwich guy this evening...right now it's longhand, but I'll type it up tonight. :) (Or maybe I'll read a Chris/Vin story first, then type it up.)
