ooc: Due South Essay

It's ABSOLUTELY fab, read it!

Excerpt:

(One of the things I'm watching for, since I'm watching the whole series for a second time--at a more reasonable rate than the whole thing in a week--is a hypothesis I have about the difference between the two Rays. Ray Vecchio complains and kvetches and talks a good fight, but he never argues with Fraser. When Fraser whistles, Ray comes running. He's second fiddle, and he knows it--their conflict in "Red, White, or Blue" isn't about Ray's place in their quasi-pack, it's about Ray not feeling appreciated for his place in their pack. Ray Kowalski, who does not start out wrong-footed by Fraser's conversational legerdemain, insists on being treated as an equal. Hence he argues and disagrees and demands that Fraser follow him at least some of the time. We'll see how my hypothesis stands up to a second time through.)
