'Right! From TV Tropes, I understand that there's sort of a 'Darin switch' in the third season, even though it's technically a different character.' That's it. What happened was Due South was canceled after the second season, but then they picked up for a third season. By the time DS has been picked up David (the guy who played Ray) had already gotten another job. Ray Kowalski really is a different character from Ray Vecchio (right down to the way he interacts with Fraser); I don't like I would have liked RayK very much if he had been just a blond version of RayV.
At the moment, I'm trying to cut down on my fanfic reading (and writing) because I need to focus on the novel I'm writing so I probably won't be delving into the fic, but I'll keep the link should I have the craving. Opps. I gave you the wrong com name. It should be ds_noticeboard.
'Quirky shows are always fun. It's really a pity that Torchwood put so many people in an unfortunate position, because it should have been a fun quirky everybody screws everybody show, instead of a bastion of hard-core ship-warring.' I know. I pretty much left TW because the shipper wars got so bad. Fandom is supposed to be my happy place. Granted Due South did have it's share of shippers wars back in the day known as Ray Wars; apparently, if you liked RayV you couldn't like RayK (or vise versa) and Mounties help you if you were a Ray/Ray shipper. *rolls eyes* Happily the Ray Wars are little more than a distant, painful memory *knock on wood*
