Talking about early years/Glory Days, I still believe that William got a significant bit of his looks and skills from his maternal side of the family. Yeah, now that mention it, I believe an uncle is involved. I am confused. William's bildungsroman involves: 1) schoolmarm aunt after mom's death 2) scientific uncle 3) jesuit school 4) a shipwreck(?) -- also his father seems to have been a sailor 5) a summer as a ranch hand in which he learned to lasso horses/cattle 6) a logging camp That kind of packs a lot into William's teenage years. Then he has time to rise through the ranks as a constable "the old fashioned way" since he doesn't have a college degree. It seems like quite a lot to cram into one episode but MM team are very creative. This is something they have had some time to plan and I trust they’ll do a good job of it. |

Checked this out, Glory Days is ep 803, 803 is directed by Yannick, Yannick directed the Bat Masterson ep. If this has anything about William's past it must be in flashbacks, I don't see any other way to do it but I'll not rule it out. hmm now that you say that's the Bat Masterson ep I'm not sure - unless Younger William met Bat Masterson during his more active period (in 1902 I think Bat Masterson was mostly a writer?). I'm really not sure - CC has been constantly making fun of my inability to do math here, too.  |

Religion might come into it but may not be all of it. From the preview, William is already trying to tell Julia to tone things down a bit. Julia seems to be in the thick of things this season and if she continues to be herself, she will be lighting up a few fires. We’ve already seen a clip of her in a skirt hiked up to her waist in an upcoming episode. Though William has shown he's got some pop, I am not entirely sure how much leg he can take at this point in time  . Whether before or after the wedding is yet to be seen. William was telling Julia to be careful with the suffragette activities for her own safety - that had nothing to do with his Catholic beliefs. Though he will have a cow since she ends up being thrown in jail. Thanks for reminding me of the racy picture!   But it's quite possible this could be part of the "dream" sequence stuff. I'm still thinking episode 100 could be all about stuff that could go wrong with the wedding or could take place while William and/or Julia are unconscious. Or could be just a He Said/She Said sort of thing. I imagine if that much leg was seen out in public somehow William would at last lose his legendary cool, lol.  ps. By the way, CC is saying that gold tie is the end of a dress tie, but that looks like the tip of a man's tie to me. Opinions? |

Are you sure Glory Days is the early years episode or are you just guessing? Checked this out, Glory Days is ep 803, 803 is directed by Yannick, Yannick directed the Bat Masterson ep. If this has anything about William's past it must be in flashbacks, I don't see any other way to do it but I'll not rule it out. I don't know what Glory Days is about exactly (that's snacky assuming) but I agree with the flashback type of presentation. It won’t cover everything in 803 but could make a good lead up to 804 which will be the 100th episode and a very special one for them – milestone, without making it a 2 parter. It’s 804 I suspect will be about making of Murdoch (William as a 9 year old +). If that episode is not focused on the wedding, then I doubt it's THE wedding episode. (Or am I confused about the numbers again?). But that leads back to the question: why film multiple wedding scenes for an episode about William's childhood...? I think that episode has to be earlier. |

Could you point out a tie, dress or men's? I don't see a tie anywhere. |

Turn it upside down. ...ooh wait, now that I did that, I can see it's an optical illusion, and that's just the floor peeking through. Gosh darn it, I hoped there were games with mens ties going on... |

As much as I would loooove to say that it's William's a man's hand in the picture, I think it's Helene holding up her skirts for the leg shot. The fan girl in me thinks it's part of her wedding ensemble, but I bet it's just a random pic she through up onto twitter to troll the masses. |

But I think it's just a part of her skirt. |

The "early years" episode is Glory Days I think Glory Days may well be the clip with the bromobile and other good stuff the guys will get excited about. Not sure how it is all about William’s past or you are just guessing, snacky. Did anyone confirm that they will be showing anything on his logging days or his teenage years for that matter? |

Hmmm. In watching the trailer again, I have to wonder why the O'Sheas weren't under arrest yet. Couldn't the Inspector identify who had attacked him? Yet it seemed the O'Shea's were walking around free for some time and continuing to challenge the constables. Also noted that the Bromobile is an REO. Had to look that up since that might have made it an "REO Speedwagon"  - but I discovered an anachronism instead. REO was founded in 1904. And it was an American company - boooo! |

So I looked this up as well, and REO Speedwagon did take their name from the car company. There's your random fact for the day. |

It's probably not the easiest thing to get classic cars of that stature (nor cheap for that matter either. If a 1907 REO was what was available, then close enough-I won't beat them up for that. If they had attempted a '57 Chevy however...  |

I hope you're wrong (sorry!  ) about George/Emily-I want to see George with someone else. Yes, the show made a mistake dropping her, but maybe now they're fixing it by bringing her back? You know, now that they've both mellowed out with experience and age, they're even better now? I was always hoping for a Ruby/George relationship. I always liked their chemistry. Ruby is just so fun. |

I wondered why they were still at large. The Inspector was probably in a coma for a long time, leaving William and the boys to put the evidence together that eventually led them to the docks. I guess it will make more sense once we see the full episode. The MM tour guide did mention something about their difficulty in getting the exact cars for the times that they wanted so they had to make do. I fully understand that and won’t beat them up for it. |
