Ray Vecchio Squee Party
From now through the weekend (or 'til all the guests go home) I'm hosting a RayV squee party, for Ray Vecchio from Due South! Come on in!
Rules:
1. No RayK or pairing bashing. Fans of all Rays are welcome, with the understanding that the emphasis is on RayV love this time around.
2. I've put up some top-level threads (linked below) but feel free to start your own thread at any time. Want to have a meta discussion about the ghosts in the show, talk in detail about a specific episode, or add a thread for a pairing I didn't mention? Go ahead and make your own! I'll update the list of top-level threads periodically as new ones are added.
3. Linking is fine -- encouraged, even! The more the merrier.
Also notice there is a newbie Q&A thread for people who aren't familiar with the show. If you'd like to ask questions without risking a bunch of spoilers, you can do so here! (DW version) This is also the place for general questions, if you have any.
That's it! Have fun!

No spoilers here, just answers to your questions, such as "which episodes should I watch first?" or "I like [x] in my shows, does Due South have [x]?"
Episode rewatch:
You can watch episodes at vidzi.tv, Youtube (Season 1 playlist; all seasons playlist), or buy it on Amazon (where it is currently only $9.99 for the whole thing!).
Episodes for rewatching:
(You can watch some, all, or none of these.)
1. The pilot
2. 1x17, "The Deal"
3. 1x20-22, "Victoria's Secret" parts 1 & 2, and "Letting Go" (3-parter)
4. 2x01, "North"
For first-time viewers, 1x10, "The Gift of the Wheelman", is also recommended before watching "North", as it sets up a few things that are important in the latter episode. "North" is basically an h/c episode extraordinaire, but it DOES rely on a certain amount of character context.
Guys, feel free to put up threads for some or all of these, if you get to it before I do!

Re: Recs
These are the RayV vids I know about. Does anyone have more?

(I recall sdwolfpup likes RayV and has several other vids including him; however, I can't find a comprehensive list of their vids. Their Due South tag also includes fic and reactions and so forth; worth going through if you want to find more RayV fan stuff!)

Re: Recs
There's an amazing Vecchio vid that premiered at Bitchin' Party last year, Big Man on Mulberry Street? I think? And I'm just blanking on who made it and where to find it, but it's hugely popular so I'm sure someone can provide a link!
Re: Recs
And thanks for the tip on the vid -- I'll look for it! :)
I imagine there's a ton of dS stuff from the '90s that isn't online at all, at least in any readily accessible format.

Re: Recs
It's all RayV - when he's in Vegas and trying to deal with that. It's angsty.
