2 Reasons to Watch Season One of due South

[zukkokya]

1. This exchange:

Fraser: She shot my hat, Ray.
Vecchio: She shot you in the hat?
Fraser: I can feel air coming in through the hole.
Vecchio: She shot you in the hat.
Fraser: How does it look?
Vecchio: Doesn't look good.
Fraser: We'll have to go home and get my other one.
Vecchio: We can do that, Fraser.
Fraser: Thanks, Ray.

2. This exchange:

[Vecchio and a guy stare each other down at a horse auction.]

Vecchio: You got a problem with something?
Zaleb Carney: You oughta move your foot.
Vecchio: Maybe I don't want to move my foot.
Zaleb Carney: But if you don't move your foot, I can't get to that horse patty.
Vecchio: [looks down, back up, narrows eyes] Why would you want that horse patty?
Zaleb Carney: I'm not telling.
Vecchio: Tell me why you want that horse patty and maybe I'll move my foot.
Zaleb Carney: Never.
Vecchio: I'm a cop.
Zaleb Carney: So what?
Vecchio: Do you want to serve time over a piece of manure?
Zaleb Carney: [narrows eyes, lowers voice] I'd rather go to the chair than talk.
Vecchio: [using the same tone] You know what I just decided? I've just decided you are so nuts I'm gonna let you have that patty.


Conclusion: Oh my God I love Ray Vecchio.

I could not love this show more. Go ahead, show, just try and be more awesome. I dare you so hard.

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO RAY KOWALSKI

XD

I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH RAY KOWALSKI.

BUT YOU SEE, I AM BACKTRACKING. I SAW S3/4 TEN YEARS AGO, AND I AM ONLY NOW WATCHING S1/2.

OKAY AS LONG AS YOU KNOW. I mean, Vecchio's great, too, I just foolishly assumed you were watching it in order... should have known that's only for crowd-following sheep... XD ♥♥♥

Well, when I first heard about due South, I saw photos of CKR and thought, "NEED TO WATCH WHATEVER PART OF DUE SOUTH HE'S IN IMMEDIATELY." So I skipped s1/2.

(Rather like those who see photos of Misha Collins and think, "NEED TO WATCH WHATEVER PART OF SUPERNATURAL HE'S IN IMMEDIATELY," and skip s1-3.)

Essentially, I was a very shallow thirteen-year-old.

BUT I'VE CHANGED.

FOR EXAMPLE, I'D NEVER START WATCHING BATTLESTAR GALACTICA BASICALLY JUST TO SEE CALLUM KEITH RENNIE AGAIN.

omg, no one had told me he was in BSG and then Leoben appeared and I nearly had a conniption.

mer: OMG OMG LOOK. OMG. IT'S RAY. EEEEE.

normal sci-fi fan friend: .................you know this guy? I've never even heard of him.

Haha!

See, for years people said to me, "WATCH BSG IT'S SO GOOD."

And I said, "Have you seen Supernatural? Maybe House? Can I interest you in a little British Queer as Folk, perhaps?"

And then someone somewhere posted a photo of Leoben and I went, "WAIT A MINUTE. I KNOW THAT HOTNESS. THAT'S FRASER'S HOTNESS."

And...well. I am a very shallow twenty-three-year-old.

(My surprise was different. I've never seen CKR in anything except due South and that one episode of Supernatural in like, season one, so when he started talking in BSG I went, "Whoa, different accent.")
