If this is the lite episode of the season then I'm pretty happy! I enjoyed it well enough. I was a little bored at first but my brain usually turns off at the mention of sports  Everyone's friends sure are shady this season. I think Concocting a Killer is the only one that didn't have some type of personal connection for the gang. Would agree about William & Julia. Obviously we don't have to make that a key element of every episode but half the time it feels like they don't even see one another outside of a 5 minute work conversation. |

This was a good episode. I always enjoy the sports ones. Great seeing Brackenreid again. I missed him. I wish they'd let Margaret sneak in now and then. I enjoy her character.

Ah here are my slightly delayed thoughts on this episode.
Probably my favourite one this season so far!
The only disappointment this episode was Murdoch not inventing soccer/football cleated shoes! (but the socket line at the end of the episode was adorably dorky!) I totally called it when my mother and I were watching and was sorely disappointed when it didn't happen.
Of course Murdoch brought a second ultraviolet light. of course he did. (did any one notice how portable they have become? That is compared to the hulking great big thing he hauled around in Season 3)
Enjoyed seeing John again, and was glad that John got up the courage to stand up to Brackenreid. I think sometimes Brackenried doesn't realize how intimidating he can be sometimes.
I knew once we heard that Nobby was Brax's oldest friend in CA and was kind of invoved in the investigation that he was muddled in it. I'm glad he wasn't arrested for the murder itself.

I need some help with all the soccer references. I know nothing about the game so I'm sure there were loads of references that went right over my head.

Actually I didn't really notice 'soccer' references. You do mean football don't you?  Still didn't particularly notice any, maybe I've been away from the game for too long or maybe I just need to watch it again looking for them. I did like Brackenreid once again 'inventing' something, in this case the free kick wall. I knew John would save the day by not being able to kick straight. The title actually didn't refer to the Inspector as we would automatically assume. |

Maybe something with Brackenreid's chalkboard strategy? |

Maybe something with Brackenreid's chalkboard strategy? Maybe something to do with the strategy but I don't watch football any more so I'm way behind on the technicalities of the game. |

Maybe something with Brackenreid's chalkboard strategy? I registered specifically to comment on this.  Without getting too historical, according to the chalk board, Brackenreid invents the 4-4-2 formation. I can't begin to tell you how influential this formation has been in modern football. (Historically, he's bypassed the 3-2-2-3 formation and gone right for the big one.  ) For those of us who follow the game, it's akin to Murdoch creating the fingermarks technique. When I saw the pyramid diagram, I laughed out loud. Jonathan Wilson's "Inverting the Pyramid" is a must-read for football historians and fans alike. |

Thank you for the football insights. One of the reasons I enjoy this forum so much is that everyone has something interesting to contribute. |
