Fraser's Wardrobe, Season 3/4
May. 2nd, 2004 01:55 amBecause apparently I do care that much. Mostly for future reference, contains various personal notes as to the meaning that I draw from the clothing choices. Also, continuity list from official dS site (when it was up) matches with clothing choices, which confirms the order that I use. And it does imply that it was a single year and/or there's a lot of time between some of the later episodes, which could be true. But I'm not here to try to work up a dates match, I'm just here for Fraser's clothes. My source is callumkeithrennie.ca (for some reason, I always use the Canadian version).
( Everything Fraser wears, Seasons 3/4, in order -- I may do Seasons 1/2 later this morning, depends on if I can get to sleep )
Analysis: Wow, he does wear the serge a lot. Then again, if he's decided to stop fighting on the brown uniform issue and refuses to wear the blue, the red is really his only choice (interesting story/essay idea: why would Fraser stop fighting on brown?).
We can account for 91 days (including the month from Eclipse to I Coulda Been a Defendant). We know that Good for the Soul takes place at Christmas. [edit: and CotW takes place in March... damnit. Thanks, PG. Okay, we can just assume that Ray was under or overestimating. A year and a half, maybe?]
RayK was undercover roughly a year (from what RayV says in Call of the Wild -- he says 'a full year' but one doubts as to his exactness, as he wouldn't care that much).
Presuming Burning Down the House to take place near the end of summer (seasonal/clothing cues plus fall being when new seasons generally start). I'm going to pick August because I like it. Plus, it gives Fraser and Ray a full five months to get all the way to Good for the Soul (and around seven to cover GftS to August again, but moving it further forward would make the time even more compressed and we need a full month between Eclipse and ICBaD). Maybe we could go with July even. Which would be six months both ways (though one still covers 20 episodes and the other covers only 4).
Still, I can see a big gap between GftS and DMDTR (enough for Ray to start to pick up Fraser's manner of speech), between DMDTR and Say Amen (enough for Ray, Fraser, Thatcher, and Turnbull to feel comfortable doing a movie-thing during a work day -- break? Definitely Ray-induced), Say Amen and Hunting Season (wherein Turnbull is even closer to Thatcher than he was in SA as a confidant), and definitely HS and CotW (though Maggie's recent visit may help prompt his homesickness, it's more likely that with family up north, things get to him, so I would suppose a gap between the episodes).
The earlier episodes, where Fraser and Ray's partnership gets forged, make more sense to be close together, date-wise, anyway.
