Hey guys it could be Margaret brackenreid. Thomas mentioned once in a fan interview when asked what next for Thomas and his response was....oh..i could perhaps become a widower??? Aw. That one certainly hadn't occurred to me. That could make the Freemason's link. Then again, I'm not sure this kind of hint would be allowed...?

I'm thinking that Chief Inspector Stockton dies, Brackenreid gets promoted to Chief Inspector, Murdoch will get promoted to Inspector and George gets to be detective in the station house 4 and Higgins will be George's proteache. This is starting to feel like Colonel Mustard did it with the wrench in the library!

In the US a "Local" can also be a labor union. Our labour unions are also organised into locals...........it could mean a whole host of things..... There was a picture earlier in this thread (p. 31) about an advert for the Junction Temperance League saying: "Alcohol is poison - Go Dry! Support the Local Option." So my guess is that episode 9.6 has to do with the temperance movement. P.S. Season 8 started in Finland yesterday and will be on every weekday at 5.10 pm. This means that on average half a million out of 5.5 million Finns are glued to the TV at that time.

I just came across this USA Today article from 2003, discussing "tech innovations" of 1903. William could be in for a fascinating year if they touch on that aspect of things in S9. It would be like the world was finally catching up to him and his various adaptions and modifications over the past seasons. As an aside, reading the article in 2015. I had to chuckle at the comments made in 2003 regarding WiFi. One Venture capitalist states "I don't yet know how to make money here," "But I know there's something here." USA Today 1903

I've been thinking...early William was a good man but he was often seemingly un-bending and narrow-minded in his personal viewpoints. We know how that came to be and we know that over the years, his relationships--primarily with Julia but also with the Inspector and his friendship with George have broken through all that and he has become more open-minded.
William has always seemed to be a bit of an enigma...on the exterior he could appear calm and methodical and "in control', but on the inside he was having daydreams of loving Julia or was harboring deep-seated, very conservative viewpoints on homosexuality, etc.
So is that all gone now? Has William Murdoch, after 8 seasons, fully transformed into a happily married, open-minded, liberal thinking content detective?
Is he an open book now or is there something he still struggles with, internally? Should there be?

I don't William was ever particularly conservative for his time period, more reflective of the prevailing attitudes......I think, too, there is still plenty of room for internal struggles, especially given changing social roles and his deeply held religious beliefs.....

I realize now that I should have voted for Angsty-William in snacky's poll last year.... I want him to be happy of course, but he's good at angst. Not that he won't start the season without it since he had to place George under arrest......

William has certainly come along way with how he views the world around him, but I hope everything isn't suddenly fine in his world. There should still be things that conflict with his beliefs and I hope we see some of that in season 9.

I seem to recall some talk that they might bring the priest from New Brunswick back for an episode (forgot his name ). Something involving William's past again might stir up some inner conflict. There's just not much story if William is happy and content

There's just not much story if William is happy and content Father Keegan......that was the episode shown by the CBC tonight and it is one I thoroughly enjoy, partly because a lot of it was filmed at St George's Church at Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe, which I know very well, and partly the insight into William's childhood and Father Keegan's influence on him.......
