Episode Notes: due South "Chicago Holiday, part 1"
This is the first set of notes I've done for episodes I haven't seen before. My husband and I skipped this episode when we were watching about a year ago. He has an extreme embarrassment squick and this seemed like it was just going to set that off, so we skipped past it
( Read more... )
I wanted desperately to write that into "Truth No. 2" (it was one of the first images I had for it), but I was just too afraid of being far too sappy so I skipped it in the end. Now I kind of wish I'd done it, because I still LOVE the image of them dancing together in Ray's living room.
Ok, as promised: I am totally with you on the Leather Mountie Suit and the idea that Fraser Should Be In It. Also, I will repeat for the general public that I adore the fact that Ray dressed his undercover guy like a MOUNTIE!! (Because, yeah, that would have been any cop's first choice, right? HA!)
--Fraser's reaction to it is funny, but messes up my fantasy of Fraser wearing it just a tad. But I'm still loving the idea!
Yeah but the expression on his face in your pic there reads "shocked, but tittilated" to me....he'll be panting before Ray lays a finger on him, I swear it.
I would just like to say for the record that I desperately adore that purse, and I WANT IT. It's just strangely satisfying to even look at, I can't imagine how much fun it would be to use!!
That's a really pretty pic of Ray watch Fraser get into the paddy wagon...*swoons*
Can you explain the McGuffin reference to me? I don't get that one.
Nrrrrgg... Ray looks REALLY good busting that chick and I ADORE the way he says, "Ackh, I hate when that happens."

I can handle the McGuffin thing pretty quickly so I'll do it first. A McGuffin (or MacGuffin) is a plot device, a Thing of Desire that people are pursuing. What precisely the thing is or does is not of importance to the plot, what's important is that people want it. The falcon in The Maltese Falcon is a very classic example of a McGuffin. The Wikipedia entry on MacGuffins even mentions this dS episode among their examples.
They got their name from some old story no one remembers anymore in which the Thing of Desire was a man named MacGuffin.

OMG You totally should have put it in there!! Who cares if it's sappy? It would have been so sweet! Now you just need to write another story with them dancing, because it would be so wonderful. (Though I want the leather Mountie story first. :) )

I love you!! ::squeal:: It's not just me!! And you went to the place I Dared Not Voice--that Ray sent in his undercover guy in a LEATHER Mountie uniform. OMG!! ::flails:: I'm surprised that Huey and Gardino weren't giving him infinite quantitites of shit about that!

Oh, God you've got to write this!! Serious, fluffy, PWP, plotty, dark, whatever, but please, please you need to give me Fraser in the Leather!Mountie uniform.!! ::begs::

That one is really cool (the composition is cool for one thing), but I *adore* the one of him busting Bad Wig Lady. That's going to be an icon before too long, I guarantee it. :)
