Due South, and my very, very whinyness
I'm busy and so tired, and I'm way looking forward to spring break next week. I have nothing planned but getting in some hours at work and watching basketball. I need to start working out or something, I just have no energy at all these days. Boo.
Up next: "Recon" the second part of "Couples Night" my SG1/SGA nonsense. It's a lot of fun to write, again, if I only had the time.
Here's my next Due South rec if anyone is interested. It's all about Robert Fraser.
So, while this entry may flirt dangerously close to Friday’s character days, I’m just going to go with it. I figure that I get Fraser Sr. on my icon, I’m entitled to spew a little bit about why he’s such a neat character and his must-see episodes.
Robert Fraser first appeared in Gift of the Wheelman as a ghost or perhaps a figment of Fraser’s over-stressed imagination. Whatever floats your boat. And went on to be alternatively the bane of Fraser’s existence and a well of advice that led Fraser down the path he was searching for.
The first thing that attracted me to this character was the fact that he kept such extensive journals of his life experiences. It always seemed so romantic to me, especially the scenes where the actor does the voiceovers to let us hear Fraser Sr.’s story in his own voice. I wish that there had been more, but I suppose that the tone was all wrong for the third/fourth seasons.
Episodes with Journal entries:
Pilot, Manhunt, The Blue Line, The Deal
Other Season 1/2 episodes with Bob:
Pilot (alive and dead) Manhunt (voice) Gift of the Wheelman ghost) The Blue Line (voice) The Deal (voice) Victoria's Secret (ghost) Letting Go (ghost) North (ghost) Witness (ghost) Bird in the Hand (ghost) The Edge (ghost) All the Queen's Horses (ghost) Flashback (ghost)
Sage advice:
'Never chase a man over a cliff’ - Pilot
‘You’ll rarely find honor among thieves’ or alternatively ‘something about tying your wallet to your underwear.’ – Free Will
“I came to understand two things. One, at a certain point in life a man's hips spread and two, there's a very easy way to define friendship. A friend is someone who won't stop until he finds you and brings you home.” - Manhunt
“A man with no future will always run to his past.” – Eye for an Eye
“They say that every man has a price at which he'll do anything. I'd like to think it's the other way around. Every man has a line -- a line he won't cross over, no matter what the cost.” – The Blue Line
“In my 57 years of being alive and my 14 months of being dead, I only learned one thing about women and that's that I haven't learned one damned thing about women.” – Victoria’s Secret
“Partnership is like a marriage, son. Give and take, up and down, who left the empty butter dish in the fridge. . . It isn't easy.” – Mountie on the Bounty
“Sometimes ya have to do it yourself. That’s the moral.” – Good for the Soul
Eventually Bob Fraser found his wife and went into the light, but that’s a story for another time.
