Dogsled trails not taken

I'm a little hesitant about posting this, because I know there are two people likely to read this who are currently watching due South but haven't made it through to the end, and I really don't want them to read this before they've seen the finale.

Please, if I'm talking about you, resist temptation!

Thanks to the niftyness of wonkyinagoodway and lipstickcat and Tom Melissis we get to see a few pages of a draft script of "Call of the Wild" that are quite different from what was filmed. I think they are in fact quite interesting. *pets the Rays*

I also can't help but wonder if this is what Paul Gross wrote before he ate the mushrooms that must be responsible for the ending we got. Not that I don't have love for "Call of the Wild", but. Groovy, baby.

Me! Me! That'd be me! *bounces, waves*

However, I've read so much fic that I think I'm spoiled for pretty much all the important ending stuff.* "Post-COTW" is a huge genre in dS fic. So I went over to see what all the fuss is about. I'm all squeeful about the V/K undertones, and the lack of Stella/Vecchio, but the rest of it...I dunno. RayK seems pretty depressed, and the idea of Fraser all on his own and happy...well, then, what was the whole point of the series?

*I ignore the ending stuff as I see fit. Someone said that they personally thought it was a campfire tale that Fraser made up to amuse RayK once when they got snowed in somewhere. I can go with that. :D
