My Thoughts:
I haven't watched this one in a while. I must admit... I enjoy the TV series more then the movie. But that is not to take away from the movie. I did enjoy it very much. Though some of the scenes did seem just a tad slow for my taste. It is still a movie well worth the time it takes to watch it. I found I enjoyed the first half of the movie just a little more then the second half. But over-all it is one I would recommend.

This two-parter picks up on the story of Fraser's ladyfriend whom he mentioned earlier in the season. This is a more dramatic episode. The only real comic relief here is Fraser's dad ("What happened to your hat?" )
