Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful post. As a CKR fan from way back, I really enjoyed sharing your journey. I first fell for Cal the first time he appeared on Due South. (And I was watching the ep the first time it aired in the U.S. - I had a Mountie fetish at the time and CKR just cranked up my obsession with that show.)
I was watching the Battlestar Galactica mini series as it first aired too and when CKR walked on screen I yelled at the television "RAY!!". To be honest, the only time I watch BSG anymore is when I know Callum is going to be in an ep. (even if he's only a wide-eyed corpse lying across a bunk.) Sorry if you're a BSG fan... but they lost me at the alien baby storyline. I'll always come back for Callum though. And I love watching Starbuck beat him up. He does wounded love so well doesn't he?
Last Night deserves a post all its own, because I really wasn't getting that movie. I was totally 'huh?' until a particular scene (and I won't spoil it by telling which one). But it was a CKR scene that suddenly brought the whole thing into focus for me. He is wonderful.
