Although I’m running the risk of starting with something that seems like a non sequitur, I loved Due South as a kid. It was such a wholesome show, and to this day, it holds a special place in my heart. Given that statement, a big reason as to who my favorite Cylon happens to be is because he was played by Callum Keith Rennie, who I first saw on Due South.
I love Rennie. He’s kind of like Christopher Walken, but with better acting chops (#sorrynotsorry): he will pretty much be in whatever movie or TV show and will steal the fucking show. And he did not disappoint me as Leoben Conoy.
Alright, I know I said that “The Eleventh Hour” is my favorite arc, and I stand by that firmly. It’s the most narratively satisfying, and I love the relationships the Tres Horny Boys develop with the various NPCs so much more than in a lot of the other arcs*. While the finale of that arc is definitely up there in my favorites**, I’m going with another one: the episode that made me realize this show was something I absolutely had to continue following.
Just as a little side note, I’m not including the musical episode, “Once More with Feeling,” on either part because the entire thing is awesome and you should go listen to it post haste.
I usually wait until the end of the month to do this, but dammit, I just got too excited. Plus, this is a super easy challenge day because all I have to do is post videos!
