 There's pandemonium at Police Station Four. Something has gone terribly wrong at Barnett's Travelling Royal Circus. Lulu the white Siberian tiger went berserk and partially devoured its trainer before escaping into the streets. Lulu has since been shot and killed but rumours have started circulating that this wasn't simply a case of 'tiger gone bad'. |

Well, the fortune teller says that he will have to sacrifice something very important to him in order for the woman he loves to be in his future. Most people interpreted that to mean giving up having biological children after Julia reveals that she is sterile. Now I suppose it could refer to Anna and the Black Hand... I think it's about Julia though. I guess we will find out what the sacrifice will be still.

yeah, i posted my comment right after she first told him that the woman he loves won't be in his future (i forgot how it ended). But then when i got to the end, i of course realized the sacrifice would be not having bio kids. I really doubt the writers thought that far ahead in relation to all the Anna and Black Hand stuff. So as of this season, i don't think the sacrifice the fortune teller was talking about really comes into play any more.  |

Well, I think it's intentionally ambiguous. It could be anything that develops over the series really. But I'm sure the sterility/biological kids was meant to be a link.

Ok, so I just watched this episode for the first time last night, and I have to say...is no one talking about the fact that HENRY TACKLED A TIGER?!?! How cool is that? I mean, maybe not the smartest idea in the books, but pretty courageous nonetheless.  |

Unfortunately, they didn't show it...although that would have been awesome! They just mentioned it as he and George came running into the station to inform Murdoch of the chaos that had just happened. |

I too just watched it and i found An scientific historical inaccuracy if i am not mistaken. The series is allegedly taking place in 1890s. But Julia after performing the autopsy in the c**t she refers to "just a hair genetic mutation" but the facts is that before 1928 with Griffith people were not even sure of the genetic material.In fact they thought proteins were the genetic substances up to 1944 and 1952 when THE SCIENTISTS Avery,Mac-Leod and Mcarty in 1944 and Hershey and Chase in 1952 actually proven that DNA is the genetic material.And only at 1949 Mr Linus Pauling found the first illness that its cause is surely a genetic mutation is "sickle cell anemia" (i am not sure if the translation is complety correct im greek....) so julia should not have been able to know the reason for the disease so her reaction should have been a lot more ignorant and afraid of the condition as she in 1890 was not able to know the source of the disease.....  |

That's a really cool observation, and it drives me to look up the relationship between the emerging science of genetics and the state of medical practice. Thank you. |

Another ep a day! 1. I crack up every time when the Inspector walks in and doesn't notice all the circus people at first! 2. It's unfortunate they used the tiger as a cover up and it had to be shot  3. I love the fortune teller. William was so unimpressed with her. 4. I'm glad the monkey didn't have anything to do with it! I liked that the Inspector got on with her. 5. William always seems so inquisitive about people who give up things for love. He often wants to know if it's worth it or if they'd do it again. He really needs to stop trying to validate his feeling/wash away his doubts through everyone else! Oi, William. |
