Unfortunately, when I have things on while I work I tend to end up tuning them out and miss sizeable chunks. (This is great with horror movie, since I always end up looking up just as something freaky is flying at me. D: ) Oh well. At least on re-watch there's 'all new' material.
I'm not through yet, and I couldn't find a few episodes for S4, so I'm still at the same place atm. Trying to make it last!
I love your post about Mountie on the Bounty! You put into words why some of the scenes that made me heart-clutch had that effect even though on the surface they were just Ray being weird. (Like why thinking making things even means letting Fraser punch him back.)
I have to admit the jet-pack fire extinguishers almost tipped me over the edge. Just too physically impossible, especially considering the altitude they got. Up till them the crack had been kind of subtle's not the right word, but ghost dads and talking to Dief etc are kind of internal. A lot of Bounty edges into a different kind of physical comedy.
But then it had all these other moments, like you say in your post. About all the stuff Ray's given up.
He reminds me of Clint for the same reasons! He tries to be good even though he's not all that great at doing it all the time and is kind of weird about how he goes about it. (Like how Clint saves Lucky because "I'm an Avenger now. That's what I do, I think. Save dogs and stuff," like he's not really sure waht beign a good guy is supposed to entail, but he's gonna do it anyway.)
I was going to talk about all that, but then "The Ladies' Man" happened, and I just want to know how, in the space of five episodes, we've gone from this silly, goofy, spoofy place where you can use a fire extinguisher as a jet pack to escape from a sinking ship to a place where things are serious and dark and character-driven and grown men cry in their cars because they very nearly condemned an innocent to death with a stupid rookie mistake.
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL.
I also love that there's fic recs in the comment to your posts! Yus! Before I started watching dS, when I didn't think this was a show I would like, there was fic everywhere and now that I want it, I can't find nearly as much as I'm sure exists.
