So this morning I watched Flashback, reaching the end of Season Two and thus the entire Vecchio Era. I think I am going to have to take a break before Season Three, if only I can *ahem* all the Doctor Who episodes I need for the vid I'm working on. I have long, complicated thoughts about Fraser and Ray and their bond that I may write down later, but for the moment, just dot points of PURE LOVE.

- Don't go, Vecchio! *clings to Ray*

- I enjoy the Fraser/Thatcher thing, not in the sense of thinking it's a good idea, but in the sense of finding it hilarious. 'Your car. It's on fire. All the other cars feel threatened.'

- I love how blase Ray has become about life-threatening situations since he met Fraser. He'd never have been so (relatively) relaxed about jumping onto a runaway train full of explosives while carrying a deaf wolf a couple of years ago.

- Fraser, sweetie, when you're trying to tell your boss why you're two hours late for work, 'I was in a closet with Detective Vecchio' does not cut it as an innocent explanation. Even if there was a perfectly good crime-related reason for you to be there.

- Between that and Ray's expense report for $120 worth of strip club cover charges, I'm surprised neither of them got fired *g*.

- 'It's like one of those problems in school with the trains.' I love The Duel to little bits and pieces, and this speech most of all, especially Fraser's reaction to it. Throughout the episode, he has total faith not only in Ray's integrity and loyalty but also in his intelligence. I <3 him even more than ever after this.

- But oh, god, can you imagine being the person trying to get Ray Vecchio to do logic problems? He must have driven his teachers up the wall. Picture the sheer frustration of knowing there was a perfectly good brain in there, if you could just get him to take an interest in something other than cars, girls and basketball.

- Oh noes! Someone kidnapped Ray's Mountie, and Ray's Mountie's wolf! By this point the bad guys have really noticed that they're a package deal. (And taking Fraser down by drugging something he would lick? Genius.)

- Boys, when you can have an argument without being in the same geographical location? It's time to just give up and set a wedding date. You really are joined at the hip.

- The scene with the heart monitors? Adorable. Especially Fraser's excited puppy reaction to Ray's good idea almost getting them blown up after all.

- Speaking of excited puppies OMGBABYDIEF! Knocking Fraser out three times. Which just goes to show that Fraser usually gets off to an awkward start with his bestest friends.

- The Fraser/Thatcher semaphore was cute too *g*. Especially Thatcher smacking the rude FBI agent.

- Loved that when, after an episode of harassing him to express his feelings, Ray's reaction to Fraser actually doing so is 'yeah, yeah, don't get all mushy on me.' Oh, Ray, you are so full of loveable contradictions.

- Am I the only person who thinks they should have had Vecchio and Thatcher interact more? There's this great moment in Flashback when he calls her 'Meg' and then rapidly switches to 'ma'am' when she gives him a Look.

- 'I live like this? Am I being punished?' Bwahaha. Someone had to ask.

- So, the only way to restore Fraser's memory is for Ray to declare his love? If Fraser wasn't, y'know, Fraser I'd suspect him of faking for attention *g*.

Bwahaha! It's fun to see someone reacting to all this for the first time. (Oops. I may have already *ahemed* you a bit of the next part. Let me know when you're ready for more. :))

Jesus. I need to see the Vecchio eps all over again, thanks to you. And I don't mind at all...

I really do wish that there'd been more Fraser/Thatcher, mostly because of that hot, steamy scene where he's digging the hairpin out from her cleavage.
