It's official! We will be having an Eighth season!! Yayy Discuss here what you think will happen I'm voting for wedding planning/obstacles to take the whole season, but I seem to be in a constituency of one. I hope the mysteries remain well-written, and that the whole cast gets juicy character development. I'm not into George/Emily yet, but I do think there's going to have to be another romance for shippers to follow. MM might need some new regular cast characters. I hope the actors continue to care about their performances, and I hope George gets in funny situations without reducing him to comic relief. Things like George having to do the digging all the time are funny enough: that kind of humor relies on knowledge of the characters, not cheap one-liners. I hope Julia gets a job that involves her in detective work on her own account, so she doesn't have to be invited by William all the time. But I also hope she continues to be a fashionista: that's half the fun of a period piece. Because I'm evil, I hope there's some stuff that makes William sad. Then it will mean more when he's happy. I hope MM continues to serve up generous helpings of actual historical events. In the interview article about season 8, someone said "nothing happened in 1902". Horsehockey. I put a thread in the General section about the stuff that happened in 1902. I'm hoping Julia will find some experimental infertility treatment. Maybe William should get a rival for the "great detective" title (and all the related political benefit) William should become the first Catholic something-or-the-rather, and he should have to choose between supporting Julia's activities or supporting tolerance for Catholics. William should finally make some money off of an invention. Emily should do more experimental science: she looks a bit like a mad scientist. Brackenreid should run for office again...against the toffs. |

Oww a S8 thread. I'm hoping William and Julia finally get married by the end of the season. I expect Brackenreid to make a recovery, and George/Emily to be the new rocky romance.

Great ideas all snacky, but couldn't help thinking more about 2 of them: if the wedding plans/obstacles take the whole of S8 PLUS Julia finds an experimental infertility treatment in S8......how will they know if the treatment works or not?  I mean, all experiments need to be tested, right  ? As for the "nothing happened in 1902", I figured Peter Mitchell was referring to things happening in the Toronto area in 1902. |

I bet I can find something interesting going on in Toronto in 1902. Google powers activate! loooooool about Julia and William's opportunity to engage in some scientific method. Perhaps Julia can investigate this season, but carry out the experiments next season? That's not to say anything is holding them back from premarital relations. Even if Julia weren't relatively unconcerned about the scandal of pregnancy out of wedlock, it seems like she knows all about "prophylactics" (lol). Anyway, they've probably been getting it on since Murdoch Ahoy. ("Oh William, you look so cold and wet...let me warm you up a little~") I wonder - if one were to go back through all the episodes with a magnifying glass and examine the books William has around, would we find a "how to" book on female sexuality? (If I remember correctly he had one, well-hidden, in the Jennings series). I can imagine him trying to experiment with that, and Julia laughing at some of the more ridiculous notions. |

If that's true now, things were probably more complicated then. I think automatically enlisting the children as Catholics would cause a big fight with Julia. |

(If I remember correctly he had one, well-hidden, in the Jennings series). I can imagine him trying to experiment with that, and Julia laughing at some of the more ridiculous notions. I was watching a S6 MM DVD last night, title escapes me right now ---the one where Darcy tore up the divorce papers. Julia was infuriated and suggested she and Wm. just live together. In the end, Wm. said he would not compromise her (ie: would not expose or disgrace her) and he felt that they could only truly be together when they were married. She said she loved him more for standing by his principles.......soooooo, I really don't think much has happened with those two up to this point. BUT----now that they are officially engaged, I think society's "mores" of the day would allow that things could heat up a bit even in puritan Toronto. In A Stroll on the Wild Side pt 1, Murdoch questioned the fiance of the murdered librarian about the tattoo on her leg. The man was upset with Wm. assuming that, because they were engaged, the man had seen the tattoo. So it seems even repressed Wm. accepts that engaged couples of the day had fewer restrictions put upon them. Wm.'s actions are always guided by - the church, - by society's expectations, and by the narrow expectations put upon him as a Catholic Detective in a very Protestant Toronto. It's really no wonder he seems so rigid and uptight much of the time.  Yeppers, if our (TV) Murdoch does have a book, he might as well throw it in the garbage when he marries Julia! (Why do I feel the need to change the last part of the sentence to " ....IF/when he marries Julia." ) It wouldn't surprise me if a wedding doesn't happen until the final or near to the final episode of S8. |

It's really no wonder he seems so rigid and uptight much of the time. I started watching MM with the assumption that everyone was adhering to strict courtship morality, and a guy would be lucky to see a bit of ankle before marriage. However, season 2 gave me a new perspective on it: before she even met William Julia had been arrested for skinny dipping and had an abortion. Moreover, she was prepared to discuss prophylactics on what amounted to a first date. While William doesn't look like he galavants around with the dollymops, his conversation with Ettie Weston makes me think he's willing to "experiment" under suitable discretion. At that point, I began to see "Victorian morality" as a facade that people use when interacting with well-mannered society. Passionate affairs are fine as long as they remain hidden. The lady always pretends to be shocked at dancers revealing too much leg, and a gentleman never tells. William's concern about "compromising" Julia had to do with the fact she was technically still married (making Julia an adulteress and a de facto divorcee) and that the relationship would be public if they lived together. But they probably took advantage of any opportunity before they were married. I wonder where Julia had been living. She never mentioned any nosy landlady. |

I remember in the books Amy the school teacher who William was seeing was not unlike Julia and they had to get married because of a child out of wedlock his faith wasn't a issue Victorian/Edwardian times more children was born out of wedlock then ever in any issues of church weddings between Catholic and non Catholic the priests can do a service if the Catholic is a widower if it's the non Catholic then permission must be sort from a higher level both can marry in a non Catholic church without any questions if it's granted in the Catholic church then the non Catholic must allow all children of the marriage be baptised catholic so it could be interesting in season8 cc

I only read a couple of them, and he was already sleeping with Enid Jones out of wedlock. She was a widow, so I gathered there was less moralizing over women who were no longer virgins. Morality was also class-driven: the same rules didn't apply to "high society" and "low society". Of course high society also got a lot more police protection to defend their morals! I'm not as sure about Jilliam Season 3 as I was yesterday, though. I rewatched Bloodlust and saw William astounded at the idea women want "uninhibited passion". It would be a shame if he missed his chance all those years, though. Julia certainly knows how to drop a hint. |

Things that will happen in S08:
- William & Julia will marry. A guest at the wedding-dinner (or other similar event) will be murdered. The church (or other venue) is put on lockdown.
- Insp. B. will return. Maybe with a limp and more use of his cane. Or possibly takes more of a desk-job.
- George will realise what a prick he's been and try and patch things up with Emily.

The lady he ends up with is very forward thinking , like Julia. |

The last book in the series is called A Journeyman to Grief. I had to go look it up as I am now reading MAureen Jennings latest series.

Season 8: William will be acting inspector and George will be acting detective during Brax's recovery. Emily will try to win George back but she will have competition from someone perhaps Ruby
William and Julia will start planning their wedding and run into a few bumpy spots. The wedding probably will not happen until the end of the season because of all the complications. (Yes Snacky I agree with you on that one ) things will get hot and heavy with W and J : I don't think they have done the deed yet.
The cases will feature issues like industrial accidents due to terrible working conditions in factories, road accidents due to congestion, and gang activity. Mrs. Brackenreid will want a job. Julia will venture once again into feminist issues like birth control, which will create conflict with the constabulary and with William. Maybe there will even be a musical episode : they talked about that at the Fan Expo last year. At the Canadian Television Festival Q and A session Lachlan Murdoch mentioned a wish for love interest for his character, Henry.
That's all I can think of for now.
