icepixieOkay, the second half of this was hilarious. The first half was so-so, but yeah, the second half more than made up for it.
Of all the ways I expected the plot to be resolved, a full-scale replica of the HMS Bounty (with working canons) crewed by a bunch of Mounties and their sword-bearing drill sargeant coming to the rescue was definitely not one of them. I...yeah. I have no words. I was on the floor as soon as that ship appeared before the camera. Actually, no; as soon as we ran into Sword-Bearing Drill Sargeant Lady I was cracking up.
Fraser going all GreenPeace on everyone was funny. The guy is like a hybrid of MacGyver, Emily Post, and Smoky the Bear.
This was my first RayK episode. I kind of know the backstory about him and RayV, but I think maybe I missed something significant? Or did it just take thirteen episodes to resolve the big plot point about him?
Yay for the ghost of dad! Poor PG. That's three characters now where he's been haunted by a dead father figure.
I really, really like the music for this show: the theme, the closing theme, and all the incidental stuff. Yay for shows that are unafraid to use guitars and fiddles in their soundtrack. Paul Gross has a nice voice, but ohgod, he likes to sing country music, and I can't listen for too long to that. The sea shanty was much better, though.
Thank you to everyone who recommended this episode!

castalianspring, I'm going assume this is probably one of your favorite episodes, yes? ;)
