William and Julia are usually such braniacs with each other that it is wonderful to see them being playful, especially William. They can solve all the mysteries they want, but if they don't laugh together then it won't last. I love that William made it his mission to make her laugh. I don't mind when William laughs - I made a post in the William Murdoch section collecting William smiles long ago. But I guess there is an in character way for a nerdy, introverted person who doesn't smile often to do it. The idea that William has a "different personality at home" is another matter, and this is what doesn't work for me. You're making me think of even more columns to add to the spreadsheet...smiles/laughs/what makes William extemely happy...it's endless. |

This spreadsheet will be a doctoral thesis by the time you're done. AND the ultimate super geeky guide to all things Murdoch.

I'm interested to see how it will stack up against the companion book. Dissertations in cultural/media studies, including steampunk, are not unheard of by the way.  And I can't wait to see how it stacks up to the companion book, either. I almost feel bad for Michelle Ricci. Even though she may have been in the best position to take charge of this project, having started off as a fan herself, she's up against some superfan nitpicking pros, here. |

I'm expecting the companion book to share more background information on Toronto history, the constabulary, some cool info from Mike Filey, and character development. It will very likely have a comparison of Maureen's written Murdoch vs the movies vs the series. All the factoids they fed us at the 100th would be so much fun to have too. In the end though, we've got this...hands down! |

Not to sound too cranky, I hope, but I thought the portrayal of W.C. Fields in this episode was the most disappointing of all the celebrity walk-ons. I had been looking forward to that one, but I feel they really missed the mark.

I think it was a "private William" experience. One of the things MM can do to keep the fact William is married interesting is to distinguish that realm a lot from his working life. At work he's still the grim, morally earnest, hard-working detective. At home, he's opened up to his wife Julia within the safety of the private domestic sphere. We know Julia has a wacky sense of humor from her morgue days - she was eternally trying to convince William that lame jokes were funny. Now that they live together, William is also living with those lame jokes, and perhaps they've been making him laugh because these are Julia's lame jokes. I think what made William laugh in the last scene was not the whoopee cushion per say, but the effect it had on Julia. Laughter is contagious! Agreed-I don't know that William thought the whoopee cushion funny, but he loved her reaction to it. He likes doing things to catch her off balance, methinks! It was a very sweet moment, and a definite form of courting. |
