Summary: Pilot Confusion
Review: I was a DUE SOUTH fan from the show's beginning to its end. That it was on the air for such a short time is unfair. The last two episodes of the series were fantastic. However, I have a huge complaint. Why on earth doesn't someone recall the first season so they can add the pilot to the disc? Or, at least, put the pilot on its on disc. Whoever got the bright idea of adding the pilot to season 3 as a bonus should have realized that this wasn't such a brilliant idea after all. To have to buy season 3 just to watch the pilot is ridiculous. It's too confusing and doesn't make any sense. Someone please do something!

Summary: Basic, but sufficient
Review: The last episodes (and easily among the best) of Due South are presented here with no frills or extras, but with good quality sound and picture. (A bit like Fraser himself, if you think about it.) The two parter is presented exactly as it aired, complete with two sets of opening and closing credits and a "previously on Due South," at the beginning of the second episode (which covers the episode you have most likely just finished watching).Still, this episode represents all that is best about Due South, the humor (and slight absurdity, especially with the para-Mounties, parachuting in to save the day in their dress uniforms), the touching (the story of Fraser's mother's death is dealt with), and the wonderful wit of the writers. Add in the appearance of both Ray Vecchios, an especially good soundtrack (above even Due South's average high standards), and the glimpse into the future for the main characters, and you've got an episode that is well worth owning.

Summary: The best episode of the last season!
Review: This two-parter is probably the best episode of the last season. The original Ray returns as the show explains his disappearance.
Platinum Disc Corp has made an excellent DVD on this title, complete with surround sound. This is surprising as Platinum generally only does Public Domain titles (wich they do a very good job with).
I only gave it 4 stars because there are no extras, alternate languages, or subtitles.
As of the end of 2003, this episode in not on any of the Canadian DVD releases.
