I agree, there is something weird about Enid's eyes. Perhaps it is just her petulant attitude being reflected on her face. In "Convalescence" Julia was taking care of William, (right after giving him a shot)and Enid came into the room. William introduced them to each other. Enid had a very territorial, hostile, and catty attitude in her response to Julia's very sincere greeting. Enid's weird eyes showed up there big time.
As far as Higgins being "henpecked"... I just enjoy the thought that he would end up being the "Yes, dear" type. And not be the one who wears the pants in a relationship. But led around by a beautiful woman who keeps him on a short leash. However, I would like him to enjoy the relationship.
I can see William becoming more certain of what he does want in life. Perhaps Julia will find herself miraculously pregnant (after all William did see a William Jr. when he traveled). By the way, I quite liked the elder Murdoch's grey moustache quite a bit. Does anyone else have an opinion on it?

No, some of the scenes were the same, some weren't. I think some of the eps that were in the fan expo promo weren't even filmed by the MME. So what was in the MME or Open House promos that required secrecy? They obviously didn’t think there was anything in the fanexpo promo to hush up. Is there something you are not telling us Talbo? Nothing much more than what's been seen up to now in a way but it was the timing, end of July, and they didn't want to let the cat out of the bag too soon. There were scenes from at least one other episode but can't remember much about them now. Wow, Talbo, seems strange. I'm talbotrail, or talbot is fine. It's actually Talbot Trail squished into one word, just sayin'..... |

Does anyone else have an opinion on it? I like Higgins, he has some really good observations and his character is developing nicely. I wouldn't mind if Emily had a dalliance with him in order to make George jealous. Not sure I want Emily back with George but I don't like Edna for him, just never liked the character although don't dislike her as much in the preview. Not sure if anyone outside Canada has seen the Republic of Doyle (Republic of Murdoch) crossover episode where Bill Murdoch, William's many times great grandson, shows up. This is now canon for William to have a biological child as Bill M. is the spitting image of William. It was nowhere near as good as the MM ep. I really don't like ROD but had to watch it, seen it twice or at least the important bits and won't watch it again. |

it was never going to be easy for William to forget Julia and move on with Julia in his face everyday. He needed a loooooong time and plenty of support and understanding and Enid didn’t give him any. I will say again that William has gone all the way with Anna and he will do it again given the chance. I think William knew what the ramifications would be if he confessed to thinking about Julia, even if he was surprised Enid broke things off on the spot. Convalescence showed he knew he was making a choice, too. I hope you aren't saying William will sneak off to sleep with Anna after he's married to Julia!  |

I'm also intrigued by thought that Julia could attempt to address her infertility - and that this could become a plot arc in itself. There were medical advances in that area at the time - including the first experiments in artificial insemination! |

Didn't go you go to the Open House, ziggy? I did. I just wondered what the secrecy was about. Nothing in these promos that gave too much away. I thought there might have been another one that did. |

The main reason I like her is that she's not Emily, lol. But I do think that she would let George court her in a way Emily would not, and George needs that in a woman. I saw the ROD ep. That "canon" raises some interesting questions. I don't like the "remarriage" answer to it, though.  |

William would never have made it to the alter with Enid anyway. She mothered him too much and her fear of pain didn't allow her to see the man in that suit. Noooo! William is not the type to be unfaithful to his wife. I said given the chance. Other variables will have to be in place. |

Most people know what the Talbotrail stands for but on here it's not obvious.  |

I don't like the "remarriage" answer to it, though. Dull, I guess that's a good description of Edna. I took an instant dislike to her in Power and have never got over it, not sure why. I wonder if they realized the can of worms they were opening up with the ROD ep. Remarriage definitely doesn't do it for me! |

I don’t watch ROD but tried to watch the crossover ep ‘cause of Bill Murdoch. Didn’t like that one either. Gave up before it was over. Well, they can’t have William’s biological son, and subsequently all his decendants, as illegitimate. Julia has always been clear that she can’t have children. She has not minced her words about that. As a woman and a doctor, you would think she would know the difference between can’t and may not be able to. I like Edna and don’t find her dull or weird at all. She was a smart young lady with a lot of spunk. I thought she was great with George ever since I saw them together in the very first episode. She made George look and feel like a man. He looked so cute, I was so happy for him. No other woman since then has suited him like she did and I think that’s why they’ve gone back to get her, lest George becomes like William. I always thought that George would settle down with wife and family before big bro William. William is yet to find the right formula for that (it’s not straightforward maths or science as he has discovered  . |

I think the secrecy at the time was because they didn't want people to know Brackenreid was back. The photos of him on set hadn't been seen then. Now it's fairly common knowledge. Note there are no scenes with him in the fan expo trailer. |

Until the MM/ROD crossover the most I'd seen were the trailers and it looked totally silly. The crossover confirmed exactly that. I did enjoy the MM ep but that was written by the MM team, I'm guessing the ROD ep was written by their team and lived up to my expectations. They could have them as illegitimate but it wouldn't ring true. There are many people that are told they can't have children and do, a friend's aunt had 13 after being told she'd never have any. Perhaps this could happen to Julia after all she hasn't actually tried to conceive since the abortion. |
