due South vid: To a young child, Fraser-centric, pretty much gen

[lotesse]

I am trying to get back to being able to do things with words, but right now pretty pictures and music are easier. This vid is one part anti-violence fussing, two parts rampant overidentification with an overserious and solitary protagonist, and one part glee in a source canon that makes Gerard Manley Hopkins poems so delightfully relevant. Also, it's kind of weird that they cast Paul Gross' wife as Fraser's mother. Just sayin.

Oh, wow! This is beautiful. Fraaaaaser!

I need to watch it through a few more times, but I love how you've contextualised that first hunting trip with Quinn. Yes.

Thank you! I was pretty gone on the show by the time I got to "Easy Money," but still - it was so much more than I expected, the lingering elegance of the final devastating five minutes.

Oh, man. This is abolutely gorgeous. Oh, Fraser.

[lotesse]

thank you! I think I spent almost the whole spring in a state of "oh Fraser," so it makes sense that that came through.

Oh Fraser! *weeps and pets him*
