Hello, I'm UrbanPeregrine, and the results of a practical or natural experiment seem to indicate that I'm a fan of Murdoch Mysteries. Back in April, a colleague gave me a television, and since then I've been trying to play catch-up on some viewing. I used a week of vacation, and this series was on my wish list and available at the library, so I borrowed Seasons 1 through 8 and settled in for some binge watching. The odd thing was, I quite literally couldn't seem to stop watching, despite the need to change discs and even go from one case to another. My brain and body didn't give me any of the cues of fatigue like yawning or feeling sleepy. For several days running, I'd keep going until 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning before "coming to" and shutting off the equipment for a while to catch a nap. I seem to have gotten a severe case of And Then What Happens. Worse yet, I wrote a couple of story ideas covering several pages on my tablet, which I understand could be embryonic fan fiction. I gather that fans communicate through websites like this, hence this message. <Cue blush> OK, so after that oddly Murdochian introduction, I suppose I should be a bit more forthcoming. I'm an American, and I live in Iowa, USA. I do have a B.A. in English and an interest in history. As for employment, I took a survival job in early 2008 when the recession was on and I'm still working there. The screen name isn't related to the show; it's a reference to some birds of prey that live in the area and nest atop some of the buildings, including a former abode of mine. I don't use much social media, and I don't have wifi at home, so please don't feel I'm ignoring you if I don't reply to any of you instantly. That said, I am not a complete Luddite; I have contributed to TV Tropes off and on for several years now (under a different handle). Presently, I am availing myself of the local public library's wifi in order to make contact with you lot. As for what I like about the show, I hardly know where to start. The stories, the production design and visuals, the acting--the whole package is first-rate. I can't even pick a favourite character, since there are aspects of all of them that I identify with and enjoy, though I suppose my own brain sometimes works like Murdoch's. Sorry there's no avatar, I haven't really taken much trouble to find one, and the library will soon close for the night. Anyway, I look forward to being here as often as I can. I shall try to watch the shows of Season 9 online when I get a chance, and I'll join the library queue when the staff orders the DVDs. I've also had a look at the TV Tropes pages on the show, and it seems they could use a bit of work (especially the recaps). Hopefully that will happen somehow. |

And that has been quite the binge you have been on.
You will be happy to know the Peregrine Falcon is indigenous to the Toronto area and would have been quite common in Murdoch's period.....they have been making a comeback the last few years and there are several pairs nesting on downtown office buildings. The Canadian Peregrine Association in based here and I've attended a few of their talks and presentations.
Cheers

Hello, I'm UrbanPeregrine, and the results of a practical or natural experiment seem to indicate that I'm a fan of Murdoch Mysteries. Welcome fellow American! I'm casting some magical dust your way so that you may end up in a place where free wifi is common in every cafe. |

Thanks for the welcome! I was just trying to watch season 9 online via the CBC site and got a refusal wall (no doubt because I'm in the U.S.). I can't afford streaming just now, so I may have to wait to get caught up. Have also just learned my mother likes the series, though she didn't know it was still being made. At least that solves my looming holiday gift problem in her case.
FWIW If I wanted to share those story ideas I mentioned with you lot, how would I do it? They aren't fully fledged scripts, but each of them is a few pages long, which seems a bit long for a post.

Yes, the CBC doesn't have the broadcast right outside of Canada, so they have to block the internet broadcasts from international access......apparently, episodes do pop up on YouTube on occasion.......

I almost didn't write down what I have. It felt a bit like trespassing. I only did take the notes and mentioned them here by telling myself somebody might want to hash over the hypotheticals. I've only recently been watching the show, so I'm not confident in my familiarity with it. I'm also a bit short on time for the next few months; we're getting into the busy season on my job. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.
Maybe I could post the notes and someone else here might want to turn them into fully-fledged fanfic tales?

Go ahead if you don't mind someone else using them. We have several writers on the board. |

OK then. I'll do that on my lunchtime. I'll have to split them up, since they're in one document on my tablet. Ta!
