One last S&A thought before bed

icepixieOkay, I feel really dense, but I was just watching the scene in 1x3 where Geoffrey and Terry are in the bar (research!), and...was Terry supposed to be attracted to Geoffrey? Because the, "Life cannot compete with that." / "I can't compete with that," exchange seriously makes me wonder.
For further, er, research, I ended up spending a few hours tonight watching S1 episodes of due South. Man, I'd forgotten how gorgeously that show was shot, and how even more gorgeously it was edited. I think car chases are pretty much the most boring thing in the world to watch, but the one from "Gift of the Wheelman," with the Sarah McLachlan song, "Steaming," in the background, is just riveting. It's so, so well put-together. (That whole episode is really a gem. Bob shows up! Fraser gets some excellent speeches! The plot is touching without being saccharine!)

Date: 2010-12-28 08:18 pm (UTC)Due to a re-watch of the series not long before I left home, I have spent the last year quite contentedly resisting the occasional "Man, I could go for some Due South right about now" urges, especially since my DVDs are back in Wisconsin anyway and thus inaccessible for the time being.
In one paragraph, you have totally shattered my resistance and my spoiled inner child is once again throwing a hissy fit, this time demanding a Due South rewatch "NOW, dammit, NOOOOOW!!" ::fist pounding and foot stomping::
Now I'll have a whiny voice in my head for the next two months (because, yeah, not going to make my parents ship it when they've already spent $30 or $40 bucks shipping me stuff these last two or three months) until I leave. Thanks a lot. :p~~~
Seriously, though, the visuals on due South are *amazing*, I agree with you on that 100%. I totally had that scene playing in my head all crystal clear once you mentioned it.
