Official Season 5 Discussion

[hannikan]

S5 will be the last season www.rogersmediatv.ca/pr_detail.php?id=425
But some of our ideas for topics will be done. The opera and hockey and the stuff in the Yukon/Klondike will be fun.

that's sad news but i can't say i'm surprised. it's amazing it's lasted as long as it did considering most canadian shows don't have a very long life span. this pretty much all but confirms my suspicions that the Anna arc will be mid season, not in the finale. if they're planning on giving us a fulfilling conclusion, it's not going to be with Anna and it's not going to end on a cliffhanger. that's my opinion anyways.

[hannikan]

That's true, it does mean it's more likely it will be in the middle now. Maybe originally they considered having it at the end, if there were to be a S6, but they moved it up when they found out the show will be ending. I do wonder now if Julia will not be staying in the morgue since she will be grooming a protege.

Jill Halfpenny talks a bit about her role on MM in S5:

Sounds like this is in part an effort to keep MM on the air:

I'm trying to find the article that talked about some more of the subjects covered in S5. I can't but it will be ending on New Year's Eve 1899/New Year's 1900.

And an article about PM Harper's role in the S5 finale. He may have suggested the premise actually. www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=e15170219

I wonder if that will only be the canadian version though like the last time he appeared in it?

[hannikan]

Oh, he's not appearing in another episode. He just thought the idea of doing an episode around a hockey match would make a good one for Murdoch. So they may list him in the credits for assisting the writers.

Oh I see ok.... Thanks for correcting me

I'd just like to say that it would be nice if we saw Mrs. Crabtree (George's mother) in another episode. She only appeared in "Big Murderer on Campus" and I think there's potential there for something interesting to happen.

Will you be adding a topic for season 6? Many of the ideas put forward by fans through various boards and facebook seemed to have been included in season 5; perhaps co-incidences, but who cares. Scripts are being written right now for season 6. It would be fun to start speculating again. It's diffificult, without having seen season 5 yet, but we can try. Thank You.
