I had a really weird dream last night where I had watched an episode of Due South that was really different and I was trying to explain to my co-worker what was off about it for some reason. 

The episode itself was a little upsetting so I’ll put it under a cut. 

Remember the episode with the terrorist on the train? And he gasses the Mounties unconscious (like an idiot – I mean, he had the means, and clearly didn’t give a crap about killing people, so…why not just kill them? Obviously, I don’t want a trainful of singing Mounties to die, but there’s a reason you got your ass handed to you twice dude.) 

Well what if a different bad guy in a similar situation – minus the train – got a bunch of Mounties together and instead of gently gassing them, he decided to viciously slaughter them? Like got a dozen or two of them at his mercy and either gunned them all down or electrocuted them. (The specifics were not clear, but Dream-Me referenced the scene in Mystery Men when Casanova Frankenstein kills his own henchman by electrocuting them. I think though it was a firing line style thing.) 

Oh and what if he forced Fraser to watch as he did this? As in, he did specifically to hurt Fraser and forced him to watch just because he knew watching his fellow Mounties get killed and being powerless to stop it would devastate him. And it did. He was just broken afterward. Neither of the Rays – I think they were both there – could console him or do anything for him. 

I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’d be a great concept for an angsty fic, if that’s your thing, but I was feeling pretty off this morning. 

p.s. These were generic no-name Mounties. I don’t think Turnbull or Thatcher were there though I have no idea where they might have been.
