I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father...

[thankyoukindly]

I'm feeling nostalgic today. For anyone who's never seen Due South and enjoys a quirky show with a lot of heart, I highly recommend giving it a watch. There really is no way to accurately describe it - you have to experience it for yourself.  It's an older show but still has a strong fan base - in fact, there's a convention in Toronto this summer. So to anyone who has seen it - hopefully this will make you go re-watch your favourites and fall in love all over again. To anyone who hasn't - give it a chance. You might just find Mounties and deaf wolves are your thing after all.

Fraser: "Could you elucidate, sir?"
Welsh: "No, no. Not since the late sixties."
Ray: "That's Canadian for explain."

Fraser: "Tell me where my partner is...or I shall kick you in the head."
Crewman: "Really?"
(beat)
Fraser: "Ah, no."
