four directions on this map

Okay, first fannish project of the summer: rewatching due South! I want to do it in part because I know s3/4 a lot better than 1 & 2; I may find Kowalski freakishly easy to write, but I'd like to reacquaint myself with Vecchio -- and also Fraser, honestly, because dS may be nicely episodic but I still have suspicions of character arc. (At the very least, like with Doctor Who, I can do the fun thing the human brain does of making up patterns, and manufacture theories of character arc.)

I seriously hope my commentaries for the actual series are more concise (and have more than one episode to an entry, so as to keep down the clutter), but since this is the pilot, I'm continually getting ahead of myself, and even shamefully talking a lot about Kowalski despite the conspicuous absence of any Kowalski in said pilot.

( due South 1x00: In which Fraser goes to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father and meets a Detective Vecchio; talk of Bob, Fraser's character, women, being undercover, magical realism, Vecchio's character, the Inuit hunter, &c )

you're a really bad influence on me, bento

I should probably sleep now, but I did two more episodes, so here is more of the due South rewatch. (It occurs to me belatedly that this is a bigger project than the Doctor Who version was: that was two seasons of thirteen episodes each, and I believe all of dS is somewhere in the realm of 66 total. Well played, self.) It's a good thing I really like this show.

( Free Willie & Diefenbaker's Day Off: In which Fraser finds an apartment, procures a wolf license, and makes the world a better place for children; includes thoughts on due South's women, a Theory of Fraser's Sexuality, and lots of Vecchio love. )
