Bristol is in England, yes. That's true, he almost slept with Anna, too. Of course, he had severe memory loss then so some people think he isn't really himself when that happens. And people say the same about him almost sleeping with Julia when he was drunk. I don't know that I think he wouldn't have still have done so in both cases, maybe just not as quickly. He wasn't a completely different person, just had a somewhat altered state in both cases. I don't think either William or Julia would commit adultery though. They are far too ethical and have too much integrity. Even though Julia doesn't love Darcy with a passionate romantic ardor, she still cares for him. So I don't think she would do that to him.

First of all some of the first scenes that we saw of Murdoch in the Klondike, I couldn't help but comparing it to Nothing too good for a cowboy because of the clothes that he was wearing. I liked the character of Jack London. It was also very interesting to see the uniform of the mounted police from back then.
Back in Toronto with the rest of the characters, I enjoyed the addition of Dr. Grace to the cast. I also noticed that Julia seemed unhappy with her marriage to Darcy. Especially in the last scene with Dr. Grace and George in the morgue. BTW I agree with Dr. Grace's point of view about how marriage between two people can be honest and have passion as well. It felt like Julia was trying to defend her marriage, as a result convincing them and herself that she was happy with her marriage when she may not be as happy as all that. Thats the impression that I got in that scene.

I feel like Emily and George should have met much earlier than they did. Murdoch was gone for months, meaning George was acting detective all that time and surely there would have been a couple of other murders in that time frame? And since Emily was being groomed to take over Julia's role, you'd think she'd have been in the morgue as much as possible, not to mention going to an earlier crime scene with Julia.
Though if they had done it this way they wouldn't have had what I consider to be the best intro for a main character thus far.

I don't think William was gone for months, though the Yukon mood mood made it seem like it, I think he was gone a few weeks, roughly the time of his suspension, which is why Inspector B got away with covering for him. This is part of the joke. If William had been gone for months, George should have earned a lot more respect for his experience solving cases than he did. He should have been in line for a promotion at that point. I think we were looking at Emily's first days on the job at the start of the show. |

And I'm pretty sure they mention it's been months somewhere in the episode. Also, how could Emily have been trained properly in a couple of weeks? |

It would probably take a week to get to BC then he's got to get to the Klondike on the Chilkoot Trail. |

Couldn't he just take the train to the Yukon? The "city" he was at was supposed to be a main stop - it was just run down because the gold rush was over. Also, there's the magic homburg to consider. Maybe William was magically spirited from place to place.   |

He was away longer than his 3 week suspension, he took a leave of absence that's why Giles was asking when he'd be back. |

Murdoch left for the Klondike on November 27th-the date of Julia's 1st wedding, and did not return until July. As he was back in town for the "Orange Walk" which is held annually in Canada on July 12 since 1821. (Back and to the Left) |

How do we know Julia's first wedding was Nov. 27th? That's an odd day for a wedding.  If he was away for that many months, William was very lucky that Inspector B gave him his job back. And if George was Acting Detective during all that time, he must have solved a few cases. It's very interesting that nothing ever came of that experience for George.  |

We know he was in The Klondike in mid summer as it was light all the time, so he could not be back until at least end of June beginning of July. I am trying to remember if we every saw the invitation to Julia's wedding showing the date.

Yeah I believe the majority of the "Murdoch of the Klondike" episode happened in late May and June-with the end of the episode-with Murdoch back into Toronto at the beginning of July. It would Make sense that if he left the Klondike mid-Juneish that he would be back in the beginning of July. "Back and to the Left" is the first episode-and the first time (as Ogden introduces them) that he works with Dr. Grace and the last time that he works "offically" with Dr. Ogden. 'Back and to the Left" is also the first time that Murdoch sees Julia since returning from the Klondike (well it's not he pays her a visit in "Murdoch of the Klondike" but she isn't aware that he is back until "Back and to the Left" |

However, the outdoor scenes in 'Murdoch in Wonderland' looked rather fall-like - there were no leaves on the trees. |

The date is no odder than May 28th, or July 10th! Cause remember Canadian Thanksgiving is a different time than American. And the date (dispite it coming from the FB timeline) makes sense with the weather visible in the episode. Well remember he took a leave of absence-on top of his already existing three(two?)-week suspension. IKR? Well it seemed that George was pretty settled into his role as Acting Detective (there was a plant in Murdoch's office!) But I think that the Inspector was taking the cases and getting George up to snuff to Acting Detecitve level, up to the end of the year. In the new year Brackenreid gave Crabtree the acting detective position, as right in the beginning of the episode Giles & Brackenreid had the following conversation. And it appears that it was getting rather close to the point when Murdoch was going to actually lose his job. |
