FallenBelle saw it somewhere. I'm under the impression I saw it, too, but it may be a false memory implanted from discussing it with FallenBelle. It is believable, given Reda's general approach.  I've never seen anything about padding-just tailoring. I know Helene had padding for her wedding dress, but I don't know if they do that for other costumes or not. life.nationalpost.com/2013/01/06/forensics-furbelows-the-costumes-of-murdoch-mysteries/hmm I'm almost sure you were the one who mentioned Reda adding padding to make Brackenreid look more portly and "well fed".  |

That's the article where it talks about Mr. B's costuming. Sorry I was getting FallenBelle from this comment: murdochmysteriesfans.proboards.com/post/22353/threadBut I'm confusing it with an earlier, similar discussion about padding, which I'm still looking for. >.< I thought it was in conjunction with discussing Julia's fake "bum". |

I seem to recall in a making of that someone (maybe Tom) said Reda added padding to his stomach area... My question is: when the big tragedy hits - and it better hit unless the writers are really planning to turn MM into The Wonderful World of Walt Disney Murdoch Mysteries - will William's look change back to a little more gaunt, darker suits....and, gasp, shorter? The same might apply to Julia. I just realized she is so "well-heeled" because she has inherited her share of her father's fortune as well as her husband's estate. My my, she's very well off, indeed. Ever since she has had to look the part of a Society Wife, she has dressed like she belongs on the cover of a magazine. How might events change her look? Actually, I wouldn't want events to change Julia very much: I love it when characters on MM dress like Belle Epoque fashion plates!!!  |

Would've responded to this much sooner but RL got in the way and I had to do stuff that ensured I stayed alive.
Like. Eat. And stuff.
Anyway...
Interesting thing. Nice apartment the Murdochs have for themselves. Very cushy arrangement. The whole Murdoch and Mrs. Murdoch thing with the running for political office thing...that was kinda fun, but also, sadly, predictable.
The crime wasn't bad. But again, a bit predictable. Of course it's not going to be Edison.
The thing with the vibrating chair and Dr. Grace was funny. I liked that.
I'm guessing this Edna bird is George's new sweetheart.
Not sure what else tehre is to say. But there is one glaring mistake.
--- --- ---
I collect writing antiques.
That fountain pen in the hotel's registry book at the start of the episode is NOT from 1902. it's made of plastic. Pens of the era were made of rubber, not plastic. It also had a threaded cap, which also didn't exist. And a pocket-clip, which also didn't exist.
Yeah. It's a pain in the ass watching this stuff when you're a history buff. All the inconsistencies jump out at you.
All in all an entertaining episode, but not the best.

MM has a lot of money and support behind it. Sure the budget was restrained, but MM got by on a shoestring budget for years, and I don't get a sense that this is the problem. I'm getting a distinct "written by committee" vibe. Overlayered by a little bit of Disneyfication which is not a good thing. The whole enterprise needs to take a sharp swerve back to episodes like "What Lies Buried" (while including Julia, please). lol, about the pen! Please keep pointing anachronism out! *attack hugs Shangas for Shangas Appreciation Society picture* |

It wasn't happy or light like Glory Days, HMM, MTM, or MAS-there was some angst-it just wasn't solely in relation to the case. However, while the case paralleled the personal stories, it was the character development that really took center stage this episode, and I suspect the seeds for some serious angst were laid with this episode. |

It wasn't bad. It's just that there has been too much character development and light episodes this season, and I'm worried it will turn people off - especially non-shipper viewers like Shangas. I also suspect the seeds of angst are being laid, and I'm surprised the bomb hasn't been dropped already. I think this is also why MM is feeling a bit Disneyfied to me this season: I keep expecting William to pay the price for his happiness and hubris every week, but every week there seems to be me more merriment and hijinks. It's not bad, it just doesn't feel right... |

Being into the three piece suit look I've always taken notice of William's suits. Up until this season he's been wearing the same suits that he started with plus an odd new one along the way it seems. This season I haven't taken much notice for some reason but there is one suit in particular that I've noticed and it's dark with a pale stripe, he was wearing it in the Giles interview. I particularly like William in the darker suits. Not sure it's new as I think I saw it in a previous season but it's not from the beginning of the show. I have noticed the tailoring of the suits, the pants in particular. They seem to be tailored to show off Yannick's rear end to put it politely. The vests are also particularly well fitting, but not tight like Brackenreid's, and the jackets leave nothing to spare around the bottom, plus they don't have vents which seems to be correct for the type of jacket at the time. I think the different look is more Yannick's portrayal, William's now a confident married man and his stance seems to be showing that. I don't know what you mean... If I may add my two cents... Yannick Bisson is an avid cyclist. That sport tends to develop THOSE muscles to the point of being out of proportion, like hockey players. In other words, they have to work around his butt when fitting him with pants!! NOt that I mind. |

I still like the fit of the pants though....  |

Sometimes he wore suits as well. |

Sometimes he wore suits as well. Not sure if it's a Victorian stance but it's not his usual. He stands very much like Thomas Craig's Brackenreid. Not a fan but I do understand. However I watched an episode of Napkinman yesterday and he does have a rather well developed posterior. Unfortunately I don't have any good full length photos from the open house. Perhaps he's done more cycling since starting MM. |

Perhaps he's done more cycling since starting MM. I remember he created quite a sensation over some bank commercial he did, so I don't think this is a very a new "asset" for comment. I still think he's standing in a particular way that looks kind of mannered and, for me, "toy-like". I don't see this in his other shows, and it does add to the look-and-feel of Murdoch Mysteries. Not sure if the other actors do the same. Helene Joy does seem to try to put on a completely different person, though: even that high-strung voice is not even close to her normal one. |
