Ice Road Truckers finale (not spoilery but maybe in comments?)

[kelliem]

Okay my fellow (few) IRT fans, just how cool was that scene with TJ feeding the Raven flying alongside his truck?

I have to admit, I think TJ was my favorite of all the guys, with Jay running a close second. Hugh's kind of a charismatic asshole (is it something about that name?), but Alex seemed like a nice guy.

I started watching IRT because of my longstanding infatuation with things Canadian (brought on, no doubt by my equal infatuation with due South) and this show was kind of enlightening in a lot of ways. Not the least of which is that... those guys are crazy.

Oh, and speaking of due South, truepenny has discovered the wonders thereof.

That scene with TJ and the raven was the best!! Wolfie and I both were sitting up cheering. :)

I liked Alex alot. He laughs and just seems to understand you can't take life too seriously. But my word, the number of kids he has!!!

Yes! Someone needs to clue him and his wife in on the Wonders of Birth Control! ;D

Do we know for sure that they're all birth children and not adopted?

At any rate, given his laidback efficiency and emotional control, he at least seems to be fit to be a parent-of-many.

My fantasy of what Ray K. finds to do in Canada now includes a stint as an Ice Road Trucker, definitely. It would certainly make up for having to garage his GTO for at least half a year. :-)

I encourage you to write this!

No, we don't... good point! And yeah, he does seem like he'd be a good dad. The response of his kids to his arrival home was a good clue to that. Heck, even the DOG seemed overjoyed.

And I would LOVE to see a story with Ray as an IRT.
