@DistressedxDamsel Issues or not, RayK still sucks! I can't excuse him or like him. He should be in anger management counseling!

I know the ballet scene was supposed to be funny, but I cringed through it because Fraser wasn't being Fraser. The Fraser I love would not be so rude that he talked through a ballet or any other theater performance. Did he forget to be courteous? And then interrupting the performance by going on ...

@Dasdfjkl That sounds much better than the ending that was filmed! :-)

LOL at Thatcher falling asleep!

Why didn't Fraser wear his hat when he was onstage? Maybe it would have made him less stiff.

@RasputinsPetChiwawa Yes, I know - but I do love it as it was in canon, and idiotic remarks like "RayV should be in jail" make me very angry! If you don't completely understand all of the characters - and the person who made that remark obviously doesn't know RayV - then don't make stupid comment...

I love Turnbull! Even though I like Fraser a lot, Turnbull seems much more approachable than Fraser; he's more of a normal guy who is awed by a star. And wow - RayK sounds sooo Canadian when he says "fan mail." I wish he would have at least tried an American accent, or gotten a voice coach to tea...

@mRSDiabolical Yes - both Rays, and both actors, are attractive. RayV is more my type, however.

It's just too bad that some dS fans are shallow and immature and so don't give RayV attention - just because he's not the Hollywood pretty boy that RayK is.

No wonder Ray didn't tell Fraser he was crazy because Fraser said his father was there - Ray sees his dead father too! And he's not surprised, so his dad must have been appearing to him for a while and criticizing him. Poor Ray!

@MrElliotpaige I personally think RayV would do anything for Benny if Benny asked him - including going on the quest. I really wish "COTW" could have shown both Rays going to Canada with Fraser to catch the bad guy, instead of RayV being left behind because he was shot, and both Rays going on the...

@EquuZombie I meant to say: "We are NOT stupid for not seeing anything other than friendship between Fraser and RayK." The subtext isn't always obvious to everyone!

This scene definitely wasn't cut. It's one that haunted many dS viewers when they first saw it, including me - so, so sad! I'm glad the season didn't end here, but had one more episode to wrap up the Victoria/Fraser story.

@Denigoddess2001 It's from "Some Like It Red" in Season 2. Fraser is undercover as a female teacher at a girls' school - to help out his dear friend RayV, of course. :-)

IMO, any dS video that isn't about a partnership with Fraser and one specific Ray (slash or friendship partnership) SHOULD include RayV as well as RayK. RayV was in more episodes than RayK, after all, and if he had not been on the show, there would have been no RayK! I get very tired of people i...

This is a beautiful song for a beautiful friendship that, IMO, is the heart and soul of Due South and what makes it stand out from other shows. I love the scenes of Benny and Ray that you chose - they're some of my favorities. I agree with RideForever139 about more RayV and Benny videos being nee...

Hi - Is it possible to go back and revise the heading to indicate that it's RayK in this video, and not RayV? I'm a RayV fan, and videos featuring him are hard to find :-(, so I had false hopes about this one from reading the heading - until I clicked on it and found out that it features the othe...

I love Fraser's look of disgust at the doctor after she shoots Ray. He's probably finally realizing that his friendship with Ray is far better than anything he could have had with Victoria, who, like this woman, tried to hurt Ray simply because he's Fraser's loyal friend.

I don't understand Hu...

@SiriusPunk Yes - 21 is the drinking age in the U.S., and I'm glad that it is, from what I see at the university where I work.

@celzmccelz I think the beating was done better in "The Deal" - if you can call a beating good. I wasn't as upset this time as I was when Zuko's men beat Fraser.

Didn't Fraser learn anything from dealing with mobster Frank Zuko two and three seasons earlier? Or did he - and the writers - conveniently forget about that?

It seems like the writers just rewrote the earlier scripts of "The Deal" and "Juliet is Bleeding," and left out Ray's personal connectio...

@vanillaorchid I think the writers were struggling to find something to do with Ray Vecchio that would give him a happy ending, since Paul Gross was determined to have Fraser and RayK go off without him :-(. So the solution was to pair RayV with Stella - but it was very awkward and not pleasant t...

@EVEGoddess The problem is - Due South is a slash fandom, like it or not, and comments like "Fraser asked RayK out on a date!" and "F/K is canon!" really irritate those of us who don't slash Fraser and RayK. But it's become almost the rule in this fandom that F/K is THE pairing, and no other pai...

@AimingForVegan The original ending is described on Fanlore.org - just type in "Call of the Wild" in the search engine. In this ending,. Fraser is in Canada with Thatcher, and the Rays are both in Chicago and working for the Chicago PD.

No Fraser-Kowalski going off together in Canada and leavi...

Who is the "Commander Murphy" that Welsh mentions? In the first two seasons, it was "Commander O'Neil," and she was an attractive woman. Welsh seemed a little distracted by her. Maybe that's why she was replaced...

@leapoffaith20 Yes, you're right. I think RayV was supposed to be posing as an accountant when Fraser first sees him, but then Fraser blows his cover by calling him "Detective Armani."

@Harmon1ca Yes - I've seen the episodes in which RayV returns (the series finale), but I don't want to watch them again because I was so disappointed. The Fraser/RayV friendship wasn't emphasized at all, and the two characters actually didn't seem to care about each other and so were very OOC, wh...

@spurnthemuse I'm not sure what you mean. It's true that the first two seasons of Due South had many episodes that emphasized drama (with comedic and adventure touches as well), but the last seasons (after the series was out of production for a year) were really more "comedic adventure" farce tha...

@tigerkity I understand. I'm just the opposite. I can't relate to Ray K at all, but Ray V is very much like me, my spouse and my friends at times, which is probably why I like him better.

I just don't want to see Ray V disregarded by the fandom because more people like Ray K better, and that is...

@KateinaKing Why only focus on Fraser? His friendship with Ray V, who is an awesome person, is the best thing about Due South, IMO. The more of them together, the better.

@crosscountrytc You definitely don't have to buy into the idea that Fraser was gay, and that he and RayK were a couple, or that Fraser and RayV were a couple (there are still fans out there that see much more homosexual subtext with them than with Fraser and RayK!). You can just enjoy Fraser's fr...

@jake546213 The "new Ray" wasn't a very good friend to Fraser, but he did have his positive moments. But I agree that the seasons without Ray Vecchio weren't as great as the ones with him. And too bad that the latter seasons became "all about Fraser," when Fraser became much more unlikeable.
