It's good that W/J have come to a understanding and reunited. They need each other and children are not out of the question. Hello adoption, that thing they've already done once.
I'm glad George and Nina are finally over. They should've realised they weren't suited in season 10. MM should leave George single for a while in S12. I still think Edna is the one for him and that they should eventually reunite.
Violet can't realistically steal Julia's job, she isn't even a doctor. It's all a bit ridiculous and I hope Julia deals with her quickly.
The recurring characters are out of control. The finale revolved around them far too much and it became very annoying. Sorry to say, that was my least favourite finale of MM. The only highlight for me was the W/J reunion scene.

I AM SO HAPPY that my Science Dorks are moving forward together and that they (sort of) worked through their issues! I'm a bit disappointed that Julia's dropping the conception storyline so soon. But the lose of that one child nearly tore the two of them apart so I can see why she wouldn't want to go through that again. Anyway I'm still totally on board with adoption, with these two. But for right now I'm quite happy that they're together and talking and going on a vacation together.
Personally I'm all for Julia leaving the morgue. She should totally start teaching at the Medical College. *coughpleasepleasepleasecough*
"I don't even want to know" I don't blame you Brackenreid. I was trying to eat pie at the time and began to wonder why when I saw that body. I'm glad Watts is sort of taking Constable Brackenreid under his wing some! Though I couldn't help feeling a bit bittersweet because Watts and Jackson.
I don't think I've ever heard Brackenreid and Ogden call each other by their first names. ABOUT DAMN TIME
I didn't trust Murdoch's "I Lost My Wife" Buddy from the beginning. He irritated me and I just wanted to punch him in the face the entire time he was there. Needless to say I was very pleased when Murdoch did eventually knock him out.
George and Nina - well saw that one coming. I feel sorry for them but it is for the best. They both want different things. Though I did want to smack George up the head when he proposed. Like seriously? How many times have we heard Nina say she doesn't want marriage/family? I will miss her though.
Anyways ONTO Season 12 and all the adventures it shall be!
There was a tv eh? article around the interwebs somewhere that outlined a few possible storylines for S12 - I am so totally her for Julia and William writing a book together!

There was no requirement to have a medical degree to be a coroner........ However she wouldn't be just a coroner, she would be a pathologist and I believe you still needed to be a doctor for that even in Murdoch's time. Really the show seems to confuse the two, a coroner is a legal position and rules on whether the death was natural or unnatural and if unnatural whether it was due to a criminal act. Often coroners come from law enforcement, i.e. DaVinci's Inquest where DaVinci had been an RCMP officer.

While I agree that Violet Hart would be an unlikely candidate for Coroner, she would still not require a medical degree. The field of Pathology just started developing as a specific field of medicine in the late 19th/early 20th century.......For what it is worth, I think they are stretching it with Violet even thinking she could take Julia's job, given the attitudes towards both women and people of colour on Toronto of that time, but the mere fact that the series has already had 2 female coroners roughly 80 years before Ontario actually had one means we are already suspending historical belief. Even the fact that McWorthy is still a police officer, let alone one who just got promoted to Inspector is pushing it, given his association with former Chief Constable Davis.

Coroners don't perform autopsies, that's why I said the show confuses the two. Julia is a pathologist, she may act as coroner as well but the two are different positions as I know you know. Whilst you don't need to be a doctor to be a coroner, I thought I inferred that but perhaps not, a pathologist does. That is why Violet Hart could not take over Julia's position in the morgue even if she was considered qualified enough to be a coroner - which I don't think she is. It seems to me VH has delusions of grandeur.

I have not made my presence known over the past few weeks, but I shall do so now. I very much enjoyed the last few episodes. I found them entertaining and intriguing. I find myself enjoying Detective Watts more and more. He has that quirky, unconventional trait to him which I think is hilarious. It adds an element of humor to the show which I don't think other characters do. It's different from George's humor in the sense that it's more cereberal, if that makes any sense... But yes, enjoyed this episode very much, but also looking forward to S-12. The possibility of W&J solving mysteries elsewhere (perhaps England??) could be fun! Might run into an extended branch of the House of Brackenreid!

We already saw how underused she became while Emily was the coroner. They didn't know how to properly use Julie to her full potential in the storylines and she ended up being sidelined with things like the boring suffragette arc. There isn't enough storyline potential for her to be a teacher and still be involved in the plots every week. She needs to be in the morgue to be central to the show. I vote no to her getting replaced as coroner. Violet is bound to be readily dealt with in S12. She doesn't have the qualifications or the skill to take Julia's place. George never really accepted Nina for who she was. He was always subtly trying to change her to who he wanted her to be. That has always the reason I disliked their romance. Nina is fine as she is and she doesn't need to change. She'll do great in Paris and we'll have one less recurring character cluttering up the screen

I finally had time to watch the last episode, and I'm enjoying all the comments posted. I was happy to see W/J resolve their differences. It made me all warm and fuzzy hehe. I enjoyed Watts taking John under his wing. They made a great sleuth team. I hope Watts is back for S12. He's a great character, and so is John. I felt bad for George and Nina, but they both want different things.
As for William's mystery, I never saw it coming LOL. I really believed that scoundrel wanted to find his wife. I knew something was up when she died but she'd already been cremated, but I never suspected her husband was after her. It was a great twist. I sort of LOL'd at how William has to keep solving something, even when he's heartbroken. It's just so Murdoch of him. My fingers are crossed lil adorable Roland will make an appearance in S12. I'd like to see Julia and William handle parenthood, and Roland was too adorable when he made his first appearance.

I loved the finale. Watts and John Brackenreid are a breath of fresh air on the show. I didn't notice that Hodge was the waiter in the bar until I watched it the second time.
I'm really glad William and Julia reconciled and possibly gladder that George and Nina are done. She accepted that job in Paris without even talking to him! I'd love to see him either with Edna or the operator.
I'm also hoping for a Roland reunion, maybe SORAS'd (soap opera rapid aging syndrome) so we don't have to deal with the toddler age. Maybe make him 10 or so years old and with a nanny or shipped off to boarding school in another city or country and bring him back occasionally. I'd also like to see more of Ruth and Henry.
