It's not enough - Fraser should have been shown going back to Chicago after capturing Muldoon to spend time with his dear friend RayV, who was still recovering from being injured. Instead, he blows off poor RayV, who did so much for him. Bad Fraser for being an awful friend!

Thank you kindly, DanPugh7, for uploading this. And I don't think Fraser "blows off" Ray V. This clip shows him connecting with both Rays; he loves them both. And in the ending voice-over (end of the episode, not end of this clip) where Fraser talks about what becomes of Ray V, that shows Fraser DID keep the connection with Ray V.

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

@NancyK97 I agree with you also. I think we should re-write the ending, :-) I think that Fraser would never be happy living in the wilderness any more. After seeing how he can help people with the skills he learned growing up, he graduated to a higher calling. He could still go on holiday to Canada. But I think he would have made his home in Chicago and got a job as a detective. And Ray V would probably be a special FBI agent and have Fraser help on special cases, with RayK too.

@Dasdfjkl I agree. I don't think Paul Gross had even the slightest grasp on the wonderful friendship that Fraser and RayV had, and would still have after RayV returns after being undercover. Fraser should have showed far more concern for RayV being shot. But I really think Paul was biased toward his fellow Canadian, and disliked David Marciano, so didn't both to write the friendship accurately. He was only concerned about the F/K slashgirls. :-(

Such an awesome series. To bad they cancelled and even worse that they put a "gay" slant to their partnership towards the end.

My other grievance is, why didn't Victoria ever call Fraser up, or be in disguised and visit, or just some how contact Fraser again? She was such a strong presence, and after all the only woman Fraser loved. I think Fraser was the only man that Victoria loved, as well. She should have at least tried to go to his funeral, and then found out that he was alive.

I was trying to get more substance out of the finally but it wasn't there. Frasier, summing up his friends lives, said that Francesca had 6 children? She should have become an ace detective, that was her dream. And why did he say that Constable Turnbull got hit by his campaign bus? That was silly. And Ray K would not be happy sledding around in the wilderness. And not much about Ray V, his partner and friend for so many good times. Still, the finality of it made me sad. Silly show and all.

I thought that when Fraser and Ray V bumped into each other that they should have shown more happiness at their meeting. After all that they had been through. And when Ray V was in the hospital Frasier should have stayed every day like Ray did for him after Frasier got shot in Victoria's Secret. Paul sort of wrote Ray V as not very significant.

@RideForever139 Yes - what I found was photos of the script. And, no, I didn't comment on a LiveJournal.

@NancyK97, TYK! The link took me to photos of the earlier draft, as shown on LiveJournal. Was that where you meant?

Speaking of LiveJournal, were those YOUR comments on Aria's "Why Aria Loves Due South" page? Sounded like it might have been you, but signed "anonymous".
