BTW, all this CC talk is confusing the hell out of me!  Where CC? You mean when we abbreviate your name? CosmicCalvalcade is really long to type.  btw, I caught a whiff of William hypocrisy last night. In Blood and Circuses William dismisses Tarot out of hand even though he believes in the miracles of the Bible. The fortune teller calls him on that. William ends up going to her for his fortune even though he spends the whole episode dissing her tricks. Sounds exactly like the whole seance thing. George is gonna break out a ouija board this season and Murdoch will be all over it by the end of the episode.  |

He can't read the signals.  Haha, that's reminding me of his overkill look in Dead End Street.   I always note William's look of discomfort after asking how the author of the 'titillating literature' would know which women would be willing and Anna say that women send out signals and men that know how to read them will find them. |

Wow snacky, that was pretty slow of you, unless it's the first time you've seen it.... No worries. I'm easily confused. |

Hmm I have to take another look at that scene. I remember George asking about the signals and William sort of snapping at him. At the time I couldn't read that as William already having a command of said signals and wanting George to get on with his job, or William having no clue about said signals but wanting to cover that up fast in public. I was kind of hoping to see him sneaking peeks at the "titillating literature" later, but no such luck. From that I derived he was either confident in his level fo knowledge, or he had his own stock of titillating literature under his mattress at the boarding house. |

haha, I've had a very busy few weeks and am tired. I always call CosmicCalvalcade CC, but I didn't today, so I was confused by the complaint. I have to confess to skimming throught the large debate about Stockton because I already agree Giles replaced him. Thank you! I really don't understand where any confusion lies about this. The Chief Constable is the head of the police otherwise he wouldn't be called the CHIEF Constable. It's still the same now. Well I think the confusion lies in the fact that there would have to be a chief constable for every major city. One man can't oversee the entire country's police force. So Brax could have been the CC in Ottawa at the same time Giles is the CC in Toronto. Not sure why Giles gets to call the shots though. You'd think there'd be a government/police committee to oversee this sort of thing. Perhaps there is. |

Perhaps the powers that be decided he would be happier in Winnipeg, wahahahaha.  I'm hoping Brackenreid comes back as Inspector of Station House 4. |

I was giving a BRIEF summation of the conversation between CC Giles and Brackenreid. Brackenreid and Giles were very far from mates. Brackenreid considered him like William, once he set his sights on a suspect that was usually the end of them, he didn't want that for William. In the end he can't stand Giles. Brackenreid was referring to CC Stockton as their superior, who agreed with the version Brackenreid had portayed, however he is NO LONGER their superior. Giles has taken his place and he reminds Brackenreid that he's his superior now. The only police commissioners in Toronto are a board of civilians as an oversight body. They didn't have civilian oversight in 1902. Here's a link to H. J. Grasett the Chief Constable at the time of MM, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._J._Grasett. I think if you read it you'll figure out that he's the head of the police and there's only him, i.e. ONE Chief Constable. Btw, in the movies the CC is Grasett. I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I meant Giles and Brackenreid were mates as in rank/equals (both were Inspectors) not as in bff. Brackenreid does not talk to Stockton the way he talks to Giles. Not sure what is in the books or in the movies. I just observe what I see in the TV show. We once had the Prime Minister visit SH4 but I am sure that never happened in history. The TV show will take liberties and flex things a bit sometimes and I am okay with that. History may have only ONE CC on record but the show didn’t even call the one they had Grasett. If they couldn’t have multiple CCs on the show they wouldn’t be promoting two Inspectors into one CC position especially as they actually had a CC already. I agree to disagree on this one. |

No, I took the manacles to mean that. BTW, all this CC talk is confusing the hell out of me! Sorry CosmicCalvacade . I don’t blame you for feeling like that. Don’t worry, we’ve agreed to disagree so the issue is over. |

I suppose I should have actually read the debate properly but I was getting too confused by the CC's. I see what YOU did there.  Well if Slorach is only slated for 2 eps then unless they bring in a random new guy or promote William, there isn't anyone else. Unless Giles himself takes over until Brax agrees to come back?  I figure it'll be all more or less back to normal by episode 3. |

And I've got a link to my blog in every post so it seems like unnecessary effort.  And I believe anyone can leave feedback through the comments/disqus section of each post. Maybe I'm just overtired but the 'disable smiles' feature is exceedingly funny to me, especially cuz I don't recall ever noticing it before!  |
