I just realized last year's hiatus offered a lot more to keep us busy because of all the wedding planning and honeymoon possibilities. Perhaps that web game will be full of awesome, though. Also, the MM fandom universe is appallingly light on assets - but that also means there is plenty of room for creative contribution. There are only a hand full of fics out there right now. Filling this void with reading and writing could keep one busy for a summer.  Thank you all for your suggestions! I have to check out "The Infernal Machine". I somehow completely forgot that in my excitement over TAD. And rewatching old episodes is a must. I'm not so sure that writing fanfic is for me, though, but I really admire the people who can do it and appreciate their stories. I suggest checking it out on Chrome. I tried their last game - Nightmare on Queen Street - on Firefox, and it didn't work right for me. I still need to retry it on Chrome. |

Would never knock back a chance to organise a party but unfortunately Murdoch is only on a pay tv channel called Foxtel here and hotels/ pubs generally don't have the full Foxtel package, generally just the sports channels. I also think it's strange that there are hundreds of TV couples that simply don't rate on my radar but I've become invested in one couple as if they are family, I wonder if there has been any psychological study on why?? I wonder if the version you have on Foxtel is the "syndicated" version we get in the US? If so, it is totally butchered - about 10 minutes cut out: a lot of that is the Jilliam relationship, and the people you are recommending the show to won't understand what you are recommending based on what is being shown on regular TV. I'm also "TV show monogamous" and tend to get invested in one story at a time. Lucky MM!  The US also didn't have MM at all until just a few months ago (now it has the hideous syndicated version, and a renamed version "The Artful Detective" on a very obscure cable channel that few people have): I've also been on a mission to change that! |

Wow, this is an interesting theory to say the least! Found on FB.
My theory to date: Terrence Myers was involved in the death of Archibald Brooks and the sudden disappearance of Edna and Simon. Myers convinced Murdoch that neither his Canadian agent looking for the spy for the Germans, nor the spy for the Germans really existed. But we all know that Myers has his own "national security" agenda. Myers knew that one of those two spies really was out there and was Archibald Brooks. Brooks wasn't really in the Boer War at all, but was undercover as a spy. The letter to Edna saying Brooks was dead was fabricated by Myers to consolidate Brooks' cover, and Brooks' military tatoo was also part of his cover. But Brooks blew his cover when he got lonely for his wife and son and returned home and Constable Crabtree was there to witness it, Myers knew that it was only a matter of time before Crabtree and Murdoch would put 2 and 2 together and be onto Brooks' real work as a spy. The person spying on George and Edna as they said goodbye was a Terrance Myers' agent whom Myers then ordered to kill Brooks and detain Edna and Simon out of sight where they could not be questioned. Then Myers fabricated a military file for Brooks that made it look like he had been in the Boer war and planted that file so that Emily would access it to identify the body as Archibald Brooks, sergeant in the Boer War. Right now, George thinks it was Edna and/or Simon who killed Brooks and is covering for them, but Murdoch will hunt down the truth and be more p'd off than ever at Terrance Myers.

The writer's are probably wishing this is the episode they wrote  - OR - it is close to their version and they've now gone back to the whiteboard.  |

This is totally random, but speaking about letters, did we ever find out what Leslie wrote to Emily? I don't recall they ever explained that. I guess it was just a love letter or something... |

But I think too heavy for Terrence Meyers on his own. Could the person watching be the "opposite number" spy - perhaps a German? We are ramping up to WWI here. |

Not really ramping up to WWI yet....that started with the Entente Cordial in 1904, between Britain and France, causing Germany to start to feel encircled ( and feeding the Kaiser's paranoia), which would increase with the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1907. An arms race had stared, but Canada wasn't a centre for weapons manufacture, and the arms race became more of a factor with the launch of HMS Dreadnaught in 1906......we are getting close, though.....we can't forget that is the overall terms of the British Empire, Toronto would be regarded as a backwater......

Season 9 will presumably be 1903. So nowhere near WWI, which would still be over 10 years away. I agree with Lizmc. It's still a ways off, yet.

So, rewatching the final few minutes, when they open the drawer to look for the pistol, immediately underneath the weapon is a pathologist's report dated June 6th, 1899, signed by Julia. Is this at all germane to George's case-as why would he have an old autopsy report from Julia from more than three years previous so easily accessible? Or is this just another random prop shoved under the gun for a nice detail?  |

Talking of random things and WW1. Did anyone notice in Dinosaur Fever that William had on a wrist watch in the bit where he was dreaming of the future out on a dig somewhere. Wrist watches were not invented until WW1.

Wrist watches were not invented until WW1. Well, either it was close to that time in his dream (and really, the rate at which things happened with Julia, I wouldn't be surprised) or Murdoch/Pendrick invented it like ten years early. Or it's a simple goof. Edit: AND he's wearing a wedding ring! I guess he could get one later on, but 1896 Murdoch thought husbands were supposed to wear rings... Edit 2: But 1899 Murdoch doesn't think so as evidenced by his second future dream. Could be Yannick just forgot to take off his wristwatch and ring in the Badlands shoot.  |
