Also part of his aversion to change, I believe. And perhaps some deep part of him held out hope for Julia to come back to him...probably a deeper part of him than even he was aware of.

This aversion to change could overcome the discomfort of being in the room with someone who had just dumped him! D: I loved Brackenreid's take on it all: "The cheek!" |

Murdoch was a little fussy during that time...I was getting tired of his antics for a while there. And of course, I felt sorry for the way he treated Dr. Francis. But luckily that phase ended pretty quickly.

But luckily that phase ended pretty quickly. I didn't feel sorry for Dr. Francis at all: he was refusing to do any more than the minimal description of his job and using his petty positional power to punish William. All this while William was down and depressed over Julia. I don't think William would have come across as fussy if people would have shown him a little kindness and understanding when he was hitting "rock bottom". Sometimes "tough love" is the wrong approach. If Station House 4 didn't need a coroner, I would have been cheering on the next carriage to run right over Dr. Francis! Emily is much better. |

Well, if you think about it, Dr. Francis was going through a similar time, having left his home and being subjected to William's harsh critiques...it would certainly put me in a bad mood! And while I'm sure a little loving-kindness will always go a long way, William's also an adult who has a job to do. He can't just go about letting his personal feelings affect his work habits.

I guess I just don't see the harsh critiques - just some begging for Dr. Francis to show up! XD In my view, it was Dr. Francis who was letting his personal life define his career, which is okay if those are the terms you sign up for. I'd definitely want a job that's strictly 9-5 rather than one that's "deadline-driven" all the time. But William's expectations weren't driven by his feelings by Julia - they were driven by the fact the job IS project driven: they are clearing cases under pressure. Brackenreid should have realized that Dr. Francis wasn't cut out for it during the interview and moved on to other prospects to replace Julia. |

True...poor Dr. Francis shouldn't have even made it to the position, but only because they should've seen that his and William's personalities would clash. And I think that Dr. Francis did his job well, but William never really gave him a chance. Like the time Dr. Francis went out to lunch and William broke in and took pictures. That kind of pouty behavior was very unattractive on William.

That kind of pouty behavior was very unattractive on William. On the other hand in Buffalo Shuffle when Dr. Francis claimed he said he wasn't going to make molds at that time, he was totally misrepresenting his demeanor: anyone would have heard him saying he had NEVER made a mould, and he wasn't about to start now. That man needed to take some responsibility for how he came across. |

Haha, true. But I guess regarding Dr. Francis, I would have to quote George, "We'll have to agree to disagree on that, sir."  |

No thanks! I'm lost to George alone! Besides, wasn't Dr. Francis married?  |
