katikatCall of the Wild I+II: It was bittersweet to watch this episode, knowing it's the series finale. The characters are all so endearing you just want to spend more time with them. It was a funny episode because the show - as usually - didn't bother to adhere to the laws of physics or even common sanity, still it was strangely sad.
I loved that the actors were allowed to choose how their characters should end. Most endings were really funny, like Francesca's or Thatcher's, but I loved Fraser and RayK's best, of course.
The most touching things about those two episodes? Well... RayV's delight in seeing Benny again. Fraser's homesickness. RayK's distress, his realization that without Fraser, he's not himself anymore, that Fraser completes him. Fraser's discovery that Muldoon killed his mother and his father never told him...
Of course, then there was the funny stuff. Buck Frobisher's farting. Fraser's school buddy. The sledge ride downhill. And Turnbull in general.
I wonder though, what the ending really meant. I mean, from various articles and interviews we know that Fraser and Kowalski got together, as in a slashy way, that was how Paul Gross and Callum Keith Rennie wanted their characters to end. But where did they end up together? I mean, it looked like Fraser stayed up north. Did Ray quit his job, now that Vecchio was back? Ray didn't have anything to go back to, after all... Did they stay together in Canada?
It always feels so... weird when a show ends. One feels strangely... hollow, as if one lost a friend. I felt that same way about many shows, most noticeably SGA and The Sentinel. It's really weird.
