~The way Chris and Vin connected with just a look? *swoons* And the way they’re always in each other’s company? It’s like, the two of them standing together against whatever’s thrown at them. Sure, Nathan was the first one to say he’d accept the Seminole’s offer, but Chris and Vin were, like, a package deal. Chris wasn’t in without Vin, and I think Vin knew that Chris would follow his lead

Oh, oh, yes!! I *love* that! I feel like a sort of backwards slasher sometimes, because I just can't slash where I can't see the relationship on the screen. But this is like practically *canon*. It's so ... ::sighs and swoons::
Maybe I'll just move into the slashy happy place. :)

I do totally get from them the "It's the two of us against the world. When do we attack?" vibe. They clicked so quickly and so powerfully. ::mmmmmm::

Chris wasn’t in without Vin, and I think Vin knew that Chris would follow his lead.Which is interesting, because Chris followed Vin's lead into helping the Seminole, but after that he was *clearly* the leader of the whole group. So there's some sort of interesting relationship dynamics going on there,

~Hee, backward slasher! See, I don't see that as backward at all. I don't just slash two guys 'cause they're pretty, I need to see the chemistry (no matter how minute, lol), before I can slash them. And this? So canon. It always surprises that they don't just sleep in the same room.
~Which is interesting, because Chris followed Vin's lead into helping the Seminole, but after that he was *clearly* the leader of the whole group. So there's some sort of interesting relationship dynamics going on there, it seems.Not only between Chris and Vin, but between Chris and the rest of the group. Everyone defers to him. However, back to Chris and Vin *g*, Vin doesn't appear to be the type of person who needs to be in control. He's pretty mellow and laid back. Chris, otoh, appears to need control, possibly because the important part of his past (the death of his wife and child), were out of his control. Yet, Chris doesn't demand obedience, or doesn't appear to demand obedience. The only times I recall him taking a stand were with JD,

Well, I've seen a few things around LJ lately where people have been all anti-OTP (::snivel::) because a good writer can sell any pairing and it's not good to be closed-minded and etc. And that's true. But I am very OTPish in all of my fandoms (I just haven't settled on my OTP in due South because I haven't seen much of Kowalski yet) because I need to be able to see the guys in love with each other. Or I just can't slash them.
Dear friends of mine write CSI slash of a variety of pairings, and even when I can enjoy the stories some part of me feels like they're just making shit up. (And no, other stories don't seem like that even though it's all fiction. The highways and byways of my mind are dark and twisty places.)

*rolls eyes* It's been my experience that most people throw out the OTP argument when their favorite pairing isn't getting the same attention as another pairing. /snotty
Now to make a more legitimate argument. *g* While it might be true that a good writer can sell any pairing, what makes them think I (or any other writer) want to write another pairing? Grrr.
As with you, I'm an OTP'er. I fall in love with a pairing, not the idea of slash itself, or the idea of slashing one character with everyone.
~I agree that Chris is a natural leader, even if it's not something he'd choose for himself, being responsible for these six men, not to mention an entire village/town.
~I love the idea that Vin is so sure of himself, and sure of Chris, already.
Hey, you know what I just thought of, have you announced this at any of the Mag7 comms?

Maybe, maybe. It left me feeling a little wibbly and inadequate because I am such an OTPer. Though there was also a post to this effect in...erm...Oh...the new due South meta comm that I don't remember the name of. And really, unless someone's into F/V or Kowalski/Turnbull or something there's no way to claim that their OTP isn't getting enough play.

That's exactly how I am! I love the characters and their interactions and I want to explore and study that. Not just random folks I don't recognize.
~I love the idea that Vin is so sure of himself, and sure of Chris, already.
I love the idea too--though it's not what's in most fanfiction (at least not in ATF). But I love the idea that they're basically rock-solid from the start. ::hugs::

Hey!!
For some reason I'm not inclined to put the link direct to the screencap gallery on the main post, so I'm sort of hiding it back here in last episode's comments.
Anyway, Go here for the screencaps. The ones for this episode (since I have one big gallery for all Mag7 screencaps) start in about the middle of the page, with Buck. :D Enjoy!
