final note

[schmerica]

I remembered the other thing I wanted to mention about the due South episodes I watched last night -- which is basically that, without fail, every single time I watch seasons one or two I am completely taken aback by my love for Ray Vecchio. Seriously, I'm always aware that I dig him, but I always forget just how much until the next time I watch his episodes. I think this is connected to the fact that I like on the show about twenty times more than I tend to in fic.

Also, the list of TV shows and movie now permanently tainted by "Dude, you know, that chick was on due South!" by me now has expanded to include The Matrix, along with SportsNight, Ben Stiller movies, Providence, CSI:NY, and Angel: the Series.

Oddly enough, with male guest stars it's pretty much still limited to The Red Green Show (see: "North," "Asylum," "Pizza and Promises," and every single episode Bob Fraser is in, among others).

If you ever watch Stargate SG-1, both Stella (in a season 4 episode) and Maggie (in season seven) show up there.

And Jessica Steen - Maggie - is a recurring character on NCIS, which goes back to bethbethbeth's comment.

I have never seen NCIS, though. (I've never seen CSI:NY either, of course, but Victoria was in the commericials for that.)

Oh, yeah? I have never actually seen Stargate. Like, ever.

It has a really strong friendship between the two lead actors (as pictured in my icon -- Jack's on the left, Daniel on the right in glasses). Very reminiscent of Fraser/Kowalski, including sparky arguments. It's in the eighth season now, just got renewed for ninth. Wonderful and slashy. Not a particularly daring show, but loads of fun.

Did you ever see the movie? With Kurt Russell and James Spader? Daniel saves Jack from suicide and then they are bonded. Also, Daniel gets married, but he didn't mean to. Falls in love with her later, though.

Yeah, and the chickie who shot Fraser's hat was a member of the NID who later dies valiently on a planet she revisits in order to fix the planetary forcefield she and her cohorts broke the first time around... Henry Gibson played the dim-witted ruler of the planet.

Oh, God, you're right! I thought that she looked familiar -- she was in The Sentinel, Season Five, the episode between Menace and... *cough*

...you know. The Thing With Daniel and the glowy octopus lady.
