After years of trying to find places to rent it, I finally broke down and bought Due South (the entire series) on DVD.   SQUEE!!!  Ahem.  Some observations:

-I don't know much about Fraser/Vecchio stories, but in Fraser/Kowalski stories, Vecchio is exclusively written as he was post undercover job.  That makes sense most of the time, but it's going to bother me in the case of AUs, because before Vegas Vecchio was an absolute mushball when it came to Fraser.  Heck, now that I'm rewatching with fanfic in mind (the show originally came out when I was still in high school, before I'd used the internet, much less encountered fanfiction), I can actually see a F/V pairing (and if anyone wanted to recommend a good story in that pairing, it would not go amiss:)

-Fraser was dumbed down became a lot more innocent after season one.  Heck, in the pilot, he's no more naive than I am!

-Dief *sucked* in the pilot.  I'm so glad they recast him.  And kudos to the new dog (Lincoln?) and his trainer, because I've never seen an animal with more personality.

-OMG, Paul Gross is *hot*!  Seriously, he's aging fairly well (though I don't think his looks are supposed to be all that incredible in Slings and Arrows), but he really was amazingly attractive back in his DS days.  For once, fanfic doesn't exaggerate someone's looks.


Okay, so what does all of this have to do with the price of tea in the Yukon?  Well, in celebration of my new-found lust for DS, I'm declaring this DS week here at Epic Recs!  All DS, all the time.  Well, except for...

I've decided to toss in a few more reader's recs posts, primarily because I have no place to sound off on new shows I'm watching and also because I'm desperately looking for new fandoms.  Hopefully greater variety will inspire ya'll to post a few more recs (hint, hint).

Off to rec!
