I also feel the George and Emily romance does nor work. It's very forced, very contrived. I still find she does not belong in "Julia's morgue". I though Dr. Francis for those three episodes in S4 fitted better than Emily; and Emily has had a season and a half to develop!! Personally, I would not be bothered at all should they write her character out for next season and return to the dynamics that worked so well in the first four seasons. They could make her a guest character whom we would see in three or four episodes per season

Yeah, I doubt they'll do that though. I don't think they want to bring Julia back to the morgue at this point. I wish they would work her profiling in more. I think it doesn't work too well partly because William already did so much of that profiling work on his own. But they need to find a way to tie her into the murder investigations more. I don't think Emily works very well in the morgue either. I just don't find her to be that natural there. I do like when she is eager to learn from William though. That progression from being sort of defensive about her qualifications when he questioned her to being excited to learn new things from his experience has been a good thread. But there is something missing in her in the morgue as well as in terms of a spark with George. They do seem to just be friends to me. I don't just buy the idea that they're falling in love. They haven't convinced me of that.

I think you may very well be right, fan2Tvshows, mostly because this woman would be locked up for doing that to a police officer!  I've never believed the kiss was real or mutual. William would not kiss another woman when he won't sleep with Julia, who he's in love with, because she's still married and he doesn't want to commit adultery. So he wouldn't willingly kiss another woman thereby betraying Julia. It's most likely someones fantasy, but not William's unless he is imagining what the woman might do to him in a horrified way. I have another theory; this scene just shows the thought of the inspector BRACKENREID. Indeed he have said more than once that Detective MURDOCH is susceptible to feminine charm and when a pretty woman is involved in his investigations, he loses his objectivity. Then Murdoch would be upset because he doesn't want to admit that the inspector may be right and so his mind plays a bad trick on him. |

I haven't seen the latest two episodes but has anyone else noticed that Julia is wearing the same blue dress in pretty much every episode? Have there been budget cuts or something?
I haven't noticed Emily wearing the same dress all the time

I haven't noticed Emily wearing the same dress all the time She does wear it a lot but she's got several other ones. That just seems to be her favourite. |

I think the people are noticing that this year because she isn't taking off her jacket like she would have in the morgue. She did rewear the same outfits a lot in previous years, but they were not as recognizable and she would take the jackets off. So it looked like more outfits in the past than it was. She does wear the light blue outfit and the orange outfit several times in S6. She also wears a green skirt and white blouse with green details a few times, too.

Last nights episode was great! One of my favorites in season six. I liked the mystery, even if it was kind of predictable. But Darcy is annoying and I can't believe he is backing out of the divorce!! At least he won't be a problem in a months' time.

Wow, I wouldn't go that far, but it is frustrating to have him refuse to accept the divorce now after he agreed to it for months. And he may think he is fighting for Julia, but really he is just fighting against William. He knows Julia doesn't love him anymore, he just wants to punish William (and Julia). He's getting vindictive.

He's getting vindictive. No I mean it literally does serve him right. If he'd let Julia go then what happens to him wouldn't happen because it looks like it only does because of his connection to her. It's his own fault he's part of the situation to begin with is what I meant. |

Ah, it depends on what the "it" is, too. I thought you were referring to something else other than having Julia take up with William.

I would disagree with the George and Emily romance and also with the fact that she doesn't fit into the show. Both characthers are rather tentiitive in human dealings. George is awkward and shy and Emily has been burned in a relationship before (the hockey player from last season). So both tend to leave it to the other to make the move, which neither does unless shoved by a third party (Brackenreid in the poison gas episode) I like her as a characther and hope she develops more I do however have a feeling she i going to do something else.
In the last show(The Eaton Store) she makes a remark to Dr. Ogden in the morgue inquiring if she missed it. The inquiry was not an oft handed pleasantry but phrased as a information gathering device. In other words did she think what she was doing now was more importnat than what she did before and was she happier doing it. I think Dr, Grace is looking at another opportunity(remember the Clinic Dr. Ogden wanted to start that she and other female Drs. were invloved in, but it never got going). I think she's looking to make a move into patient medicine, maybe at Womens's College Hospital.
Just my guess.

I just don't think she's been fleshed out well. And the G/E romance is alternately non-existent or forced. I don't think that was the reason for the scene. I thought it was just the show establishing Julia's and Emily's roles. Making it clear that Julia won't ever come back as pathologist so Emily will be staying. I don't see Emily also taking on a new role, she's the pathologist. |

Yeah, I don't think Emily will leave the morgue. That would be too much upheaval in the morgue. I agree that that scene was to show that Julia won't be back and has no interest in returning. It seemed to me that Emily felt she should ask just to make sure that her job was secure and simply because she wanted to make sure that Julia was happy in her new position. I do wish they hadn't dropped the clinic storyline and maybe in the future (S7) Julia and Emily will team up again to make that happen. But I think they would have to do it clandestinely and in addition to their work as pathologist and psychiatrist.
