I won't watch too many videos before this one but it sure seems to be a very amusing episode. I can't wait to see it  |

OMFG! This episode killed me! I think there was enough Jilliam stuff in here to silence all those people who were complaining before, and then some. Strip dominoes anyone? xD
There's almost no point in me saying what I liked about this episode, firstly because I LOVED it and secondly I'd just be retelling the entire thing!
The only criticism I can come up with is that possibly the case was a little weak. But that seems to be a recurring theme this season so I'm not going to single this episode out as being any worse in that department than the others.

I love love love no ADORE that episode. They are so many funny things in it that I can't seriously pinpoint my favorite moment. Julia & William relationship is progressing in a very mature way i think and I will never look at dominos the same way again!!!!! LOVE the season so far. I don't know if I'll be able to handle too much awesomeness but i'm willing to give it a try  |

This was a very entertaining episode. I agree the murder plot was a bit weak. It was good at the beginning but it weakened at the end. That hasn't been true I've thought this season at all. The other episodes have been really strong in the murders, I've thought. It was S5 that lacked in that dept, esp. many of the early episodes. There were lots of entertaining, funny parts in this one. George, of course, had to be drafted to go undercover while uncovered.  I am wondering what the ramifications of William and Julia's decision to openly commit adultery will be. This has to have some serious consequences for them aside from the social scandal they're prepared for. I'm worried that William will really regret it and beat himself up that he gave in to sin. I do wonder if the dominoes were to indicate they weren't actually going to have sex, but only give the appearance of it by checking into a hotel room together in order to obtain the divorce. Then William's conscience would still be clear. We'll see. I still think Darcy will change his mind about accepting things and retaliate against them. And there's still Gillies havoc to come... |

For Murdoch Air I agree with you, I had no clue what was really going on with that one but I thought the murderers were fairly obvious for the others. Maybe that's just me though.
Well, S5 was just bad all around with very few exceptions. I still haven't re-watched some eps cuz they're just that bad.
I really hope too that they don't actually have sex. I think Murdoch's gone as far as his character can go without it becoming completely unrealistic.

I think Murdoch's gone as far as his character can go without it becoming completely unrealistic. I am not sure what you mean in that last statement. Do you think it is unrealistic for Murdoch to HAVE sex with Julia? I think the dominoes were meant to tell us that they would not really be doing the horizontal mambo...just giving the illusion of it. However, I think we are seeing a new Murdoch now, a Murdoch who knows that his "stuffed shirt" approach to relationships has in the past cost him the love of his life and now he has a second chance,(which most people do not get) and he is smart enough to try and adapt to change in order to be with the love of his life. Given his intelligence, I think it is a very realistic portrayal of him now. He has in the past questioned his religion when the strict Catholic policy seemed unfair and callous. He accepted her abortion, so it seems reasonable that he could progress with the divorce to be with her. Jeez, five years was long enough for the cat and mouse game. |

I enjoyed this episode, and love that Crabtree is having more of a presence on screen. I also like the fact that Julia saved George's life. I can only imagine George's, Brackenreid's, and Murdoch's reaction to nude Julia. Of course, she did get busted for skinny dipping.

Hello everybody!
This episode was very interesting and I liked it even though that I'm not sure to have understood all the story in details. LOL.
I don't know if you have noticed but there is an allusion to the web serie "Nightmare of the Queen Street" when HIGGINS was searching informations in the TORONTO GAZETTE. We can see him reading the newspaper advertisement for the whereabouts of James DANBY. Can we suppose that is a clue or just a simple coincidence?

At the current point in the storyline, yes, that is what I think. But I could believe there would be some hanky panky, especially after such an eventful day. |

I don't think it's a clue or a coincidence. They just put it in there as a way to tie it all together, to make the web series seem more real. If you'll remember in the video, Murdoch gives you the case to solve because he's busy with a skeleton that was found in the Don Valley. I love how they're making everything so tight knit this season. It's awesome!

I actually think there was a lot more to this episode than meets the eye (LOL). I think this is one you have to watch a few times to get everything that's going on. I was laughing so hard the first time that I kept missing case details. But the second time I found the case really interesting. And I totally didn't guess the killer. I thought they did a great job of keeping it wide open until the very end. Loved it. It had everything the best Murdoch's do - inventions, W&J, Crabtree in a funny scenario, a really neat and unusual new world to explore, plenty of Victoriana, and all the characters involved in different ways.
Possibly my favourite ever, and one I'll watch over and over without ever getting tired of it. So in love with MM!!!!
