08/03/2002 Entry: ""

Spooky, spooky evening. Around 5:00 I abruptly decided to rewatch Victoria's Secret, with the goal of objectively noting some potential clips for vids. Of course, the minute it started, objective brain went out the window, and I was utterly sucked in, as I always am when watching this episode (which I actually haven't done all that many times, it's too damn painful), and every time I watch it I find some new things to ponder (in this case, all the conversations between Fraser and his father). Objectively, one could sit and pick at the plot holes in the episode, but when you're watching it, it's amazingly propulsive, with this marvellous gripping sense of inexorability.

Anyway, right around the time Victoria made her first appearance, the huge thunderstorms that had been hammering their way across the western prairies all day, big ominous red blobs on the radar, finally struck the city, and I paused the tape for a minute to go out on the back deck, to look at the black roiling sky and the lightning, the trees lashing around in the wind and the rain sheeting off the roof. Then I went back in, restarted the tape, and right in the middle of the scene where Fraser's tearing the Vecchio house apart looking for the key, an almighty bolt of lightning struck, the TV died, and the entire house went black, for a slow count of five. Then, inexplicably, the power came back on, and I restarted the tape, and watched it through to the end, and by the time Fraser lay twitching on the station platform with a bullet in his back, the storm had mostly passed on through. We're still under a tornado watch until midnight, so we could get hammered again, but I rather think the scariest part of the evening has passed.

I'm not going to sit here and make fatuous comments about how VS is one of the best two hours of television I've seen--I mean, it has its flaws, sure--but I will say this: it's what made me a fan of due South. Without that episode, I certainly would have enjoyed many aspects of the show, I would've dug the Rays and the humor and the general vibe. But VS is what really made me fall passionately and hopelessly for Fraser, and every time I see it again I come out a little shaky.

The thunder is still rumbling around in the distance, and I can hear sirens off to the north. I'm going to pour myself a couple of fingers of Lagavulin, and go sit on the back deck and have a smoke.

Heh, well, I can't get off my ass to email you, but this whole "comments" thing is nice and convenient.

Mostly I just wanted to say: damn. I wish *so much* that we could have watched Victoria's Secret together when I was there. It's so relevant and necessary for unravelling all the issues we were talking about, and I know I need to watch it again soon, too. But, yeah, I've only watched it 2 or maybe 3 times ever because it's so fucking painful. And I totally, totally know what you mean about it making you fall hard for Fraser. Yep.

Hm, well, no real point to be made here, I guess, just "wow, yeah, I know what you mean" and "me, too" and "I wish I could have been watching it with you!" :)

Erg, sorry, I accidentally clicked the "post comment" button twice. I am sheepish and apologetic. :)

That sounds like the *ideal* Victoria's Secret viewing experience. If I meet any newbies in future, I'm gonna tell them they must wait to view this critical two-parter until there's dramatic weather happening all around them. (:

Yes, it leaves me shaky every damned time too. And I notice new bits on every viewing. Last time, I was struck by the fact that, when Fraser's staring out the window early in the ep, the most prominent sign is from a pool hall across the street. The resonance of that, what with Fraser about to blow off Ray's pool night, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Regarding vidding: fear no sap. One of the great things about being a writer *and* a vidder is that the totally different medium allows you to tap into all sorts of creative impulses that don't make it into your writing. Sappy vids can be *good*, fer cryin' out loud, and they are a totally valid use of the form.

So let the sap run free. And write me about those vid ideas! (: I'd still love to work with you.
