Inspector B thinks of himself as a lover not a fighter.  Is this the ep where William wears the "put out to pasture" robe? And what, exactly, is the "put out to pasture" robe? One of Yannick's tweets. |

Did anyone that saw the ep tonight notice that the flask they had in the morgue wasn't the one the guy had in his hand when he died? I totally saw that! The flask in the dying guy's hand was the same one from War on Terror, where William found the note signed by John A MacDonald. The flask seemed to have grown by several ounces and lost its seam between the street in front of SH4 and William's office. |

George goes on about a secret compartment...hmm, sounds familiar... But good eye you guys! Didn't catch that myself. |

I did a wee bit of research on Tom Thompson. This is another case of MM writers playing fast and loose with historical accuracy. From 1901 to 1903, Thompson was with his brother in Seattle, not painting signs in Toronto.

You are probably right about that...the Terrence Myers eps are not my favs so I mix them up. FYI, Peter Kellegan is doing a webseries based on Saving Hope where he plays a psychic, The Great Randall. The webseries is only ok but I like his Randall character much better than Myers, lol. |

Loved geekyscience! Julia and Emily working together! That was nicely done! That was way better than the weak suffragette plot! Love George's lockpicking skills, and also how he ultimately saved the day. He knew when to walk away and fight another day, and saved not only his life, but also William's. I also loved stud!George-even if he didn't care for it! I kinda wanted to smack William for being incredulous that someone wanted to seduce George-of course they did! Even if she was scary.William, you got shot! Know when to retreat and fight another day, okay? Besides, you get to convalesce with Julia now. You know she's going to take very good care of you. Was I the only person that had strains of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing going through my mind?
The important question is - was William wearing his hat when he got shot? It's a good thing George is the ultimate wingman! He deserves a raise! So Julia didn't scold William for getting in trouble? |

From 1901 to 1903, Thompson was with his brother in Seattle, not painting signs in Toronto. I know I'm being wildly optimistic, but if MM is still going to cover 1917, when Tom Thompson died, Murdoch would have a field day....Thompson died in Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park, officially accidently by drowning......however, there was immediate speculation that he was murdered, due to fishing line tied around his ankle, possibly an attempt to weigh his body down, a wound on his forehead, which the coroner thought could have been caused by the gunwale of the canoe hitting him as it capsized (others thought it could just as likely be from a paddle hitting him on its edge), and the spare paddle was tied to the centre thwart which heavy binders' twine, which an experienced canoeist like Thompson would never have done. Also, some of the people who carried his coffin and helped load it onto the train thought it was too light to actually have an adult body in it. He is supposed to be buried in the family plot in Leith, Ontario and the family has refused to have the grave opened.....not only would Murdoch have fun, but George would get to practice his digging skills.....again.....
Cheers

And what, exactly, is the "put out to pasture" robe? Yep, that's the one...but he was on his way back to bed with Julia (also in her robe but not the honeymoon one). He's got an injured wing but I'm sure she'll figure out a way to help him fly. |

I really enjoyed this ep. Loved backwoods!William, still never a hair out of place though. Nice to see George was the 'better' dressed with his collar and tie and William was dressed for the occasion. As always loved him on the horse, nothing better than William on a horse and backwoods!William was even better!! Glad they referred back to his lumberjack days. I figured it was Tom Thompson as CJ had talked about him at one of the panels. So Mr. B was his inspiration, who knew?? I was happy to see lots of the ladies this week though not much of the W/J interaction that was touted on Twitter, that's fine though. Loved Emily with her rats again! Just watching again for the third time, gotta love timeshifting which I had to get so I could see the classic eps, I'm making supper at the new, stupid, 5.30 timeslot. I finally got what George was saying about his aunt moving back to Newfoundland, hating the mainland because she was terrified of moose. For non Canadians, there are more moose/square mile in NL than the mainland and they're not even a native species of NL, they were introduced. Woot, lumbersexy!William! www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/12/lumbersexuality-and-its-discontents/383563/Yay, rats! 5:30 sounds wrong for a flagship primetime show.  |

There is a play called "Colours In The Storm" that chronicle Thompson's life in Algonquin Park up until his death. It was done as part of the Canadian Musical Theatre Project at Sheridan College in 2011 and 2012. I can only hope for it's wider distribution because it was amazing. |

New eps are still on at 8.00pm. It's the daily 'classic' eps that start at 6.30, forgot the time as I now PVR at 5.30 so I can still watch at 7.00pm, the original time, as there's nothing else on. For some reason CBC, in their infinite wisdom, changed Coronation St. from 6.30 to 7.30, between the two MM eps on Monday. The rest of the week it's on after MM. I got timeshifting just to avoid Corrie as I've always hated it. |

I liked this episode much much better than the one from last week. I enjoyed the cheeky references to Tom Thompson (which I learned about only last week, when people - mostly Canadians, actually - started mentioning that Brackenreid's paintings were clearly a reminder of this artist), so I figured the young guy was him. In terms of humor too, I loved how George was harassed by Mack….What a ladykiller this George is !!! I also liked that the writers tackled a storyline about the lands of the Indians being stolen for prospectors to go after silver, gold and all kinds of other resources, very well done. I very much enjoyed Emily & Julia working together to find the poison, it was nice to see how valuable their expertise is within an investigation; so now a little bit more of William & Julia together personally & professionally (in my opinion anyway) and I'll be fully enjoying this season again. This episode made me hopeful that we will see more story lines in future episodes where the whole team is involved together (let's hope anyway). |
