I think you're just incapable of admitting any real fault with this show so you overanalyze the crap out of stupid bits.  Hey I can admit fault with the show! I hate it when Yannick lapses into automaton-speak in the first couple of seasons: still not sure what he was going for there. (Data?). I don't even like it in Bloodlust. Also I'm not a fan of anyone's tan in an era that's supposed to be about using hats and parasols to preserve ivory white skin as a class marker. Hmmm. There were too many "Bloody Hell's" in Season 7? I have my nitpicks. But I the things I love about MM vastly, vastly overshadow the things I could nitpick. And it's been a loooooooong time since I found a show I could love. Now this show isn't even an American one, so all I can do is pout and scheme a lot and hope I can help pull it across the border before it times out and gets cancelled.  At this time I prefer to be a booster rather than a grumbler!  Ps. Regarding the over-analyzing: I just enjoy doing that, and it's hard to avoid once you've seen every episode 5 times. Exactly! Nitpicks, not any REAL fault. But anyway, I was mostly just teasing you... |

Another power of the Magic Homburg spotted in Glory Days!
When William's hat gets knocked off as he tackles bad guy and they crash through the wall of the hayloft, it somehow returns magically to his head on the ground. Just as the hat returned magically to William in England and in the Yukon, hahaha.
Also, there was an argument that the hat gave William teleportation powers when he suddenly appeared to challenge Leslie Garland in On the Waterfront, but later people on this forum concluded there was a second door to Julia's office. But I would argue that the homburg contributes to William's "I mean business, and I will take off this badge and kick your ass" mode - note that the first thing he did was take off the hat after Leslie ran cowering away, and William needed to transform back into "At your service, ma'am" mode for Julia.

That homburg is powerful AND sexy. Wishes good hats for men would come back into fashion, along with suits. |

Dear Shaftesbury/CBC/Murdoch Mysteries production team-
Never apologize for strange, magical, or mysterious doings of Detective Murdoch's homburg. In the noir-charmant style surreal homburg events are a feature not a bug. Nitpickers who can only relate to the average pedestrian homburg know not what they say.

It is definitely the homburg. I wrote a little scene regarding the homburg in one of my fics to demonstrate its power. |

I said somewhere before that I liken William and his hat to Samson and his hair in the bible. I identified 3 different types of William in relation to his hat:
1. William with his hat on: William is empowered and feels he can do anything. It’s like he is propelled by mystic powers. He is confident and feels invincible.
2. William without his hat: (He has taken it off himself and knows where it is) - William is comfortable and can be an everyday man or any man he wants. He can blend in anywhere.
3. William without his hat: (He can’t find it and doesn’t know where to look for it) - William is in all sorts of bother. He freaks out.

Question: I know we have seen people hand William his hat, but have we EVER seen anyone other than William deliberately remove it?? Definitely an "all sorts of bother" scenario worthy of a fanfic. |
