Wiseguy: Vinnie

[zebra363]

Maybe it's just the new fandom high talking, but I'm not sure I've ever fallen for any character quite as thoroughly as I have for Vinnie in Wiseguy. He is so, so smart and good at what he does, and the fact that he works undercover and only a handful of people know who he really is puts him on a whole different level in terms of the difficulty of

I told you'd like Wiseguy.
I told you you'd like Frank.
I win at pimping FOR LIFE.

Is season 4 when Vinnie disappeared and Frank is frantic, looking for him? And then he comes back at the end and they fall into each other's arms?

I win at pimping FOR LIFE.

You absolutely do. Please continue to do it for life!! I don't know what I'd do without you!

Vinnie disappears temporarily in late season 3, which I've ordered. The hug from that songvid is in the second-last episode of S3.

Then he disappears for good (except for a one-off movie) at the start of season 4. Frank speaks at a memorial service for him in the first episode. That's the scene I absolutely have to see. It's being released next month.

But..but..what is the point, without Vinnie? What is the point of ANYTHING?

Frank is the point. And specifically, Frank missing Vinnie and having hopes that he is still alive!

*GASP*

I just noticed your Vinnie icon.

There's a good summary of online Wiseguy stuff here and I got it from one of the icon posts listed.

The depressing thing is that I've now read all of the stories it mentions!

I read a good story from that zine today, in which Frank tells his son about his relationship with Vinnie. Thanks for lending it to me!

Yay for finding one good fic in a zine!!!

In the bad old days before the internet you tooks your chances and you bought zines. I used to buy multimedia zines and be FORCED to read in fandoms I'd never even heard of. Come to think of it, there were a few fandoms I'd never have discovered otherwise, so it wasn't all bad.

I haven't read it all yet, so it's possible that there's more than one good story in it!
