Episode Notes: "Gift of the Wheel Man"

[sara-merry99.livejournal.com]

I remember this ep from when I was watching before. And I remember loving it. I hope my memory is good. ;)

I should warn up-front that I hate Christmas and, generally, I hate Christmas episodes of anything. On the other hand, I do trust due South not to go treacly on me.

After-watching notes: My trust was well placed, this wasn't treacly. This is quite a good episode. The music is even more spectacular than in most episodes. Fraser's damned hot in jeans throughout most of it. There are reindeer in the 2-7 and bank-robbing Santa Clauses.

It lends itself to extremely interesting speculation on the nature of the relationships Fraser and Ray had with their fathers, which is more than excellent.

And it's got possibly the slashiest moment in the series so far. (You'll have to read the comments to know what I think that is.)

spikedluv has posted Quotes from The Gift of the Wheel Man over at her LJ. Be sure and go check them out. The dialogue in this episode is especially tasty.
