We just saw this episode on Monday!!! OMG are they actually married?! It felt so unreal, almost like a dream... Was it real??  Congratulations, I know you've waited a long time, Lucy! *toasts with virtual absinthe in flute glass* Now you have almost 100 pages of forum comments on the topic to read through! Enjoy! Bwahahaha...  |

1. I'm obviously a big shipper. But I don't like the wedding episode all that much. Oops. I've watched it many times trying to appreciate it more than I do, but I don't. It's definitely a Murdoch Mysteries Lite episode (again, thanks to whomever coined that term). I'd throw it in the alternate universe but I don't want them to not be married so.... I'm stuck with it. 2. I would have much rather seen the finding of the body, William turning up to the scene, and all the other regular investigating than the court scene. The whole "mystery" in this one is pretty lame. 3. I'm surprised William believes in those superstitions and luck! He's so worried about the bad luck of Julia seeing him. I suppose he's not gonna take any chances though after finally getting to a wedding with her. Something I find funny in this scene is when William replies to Julia mentioning she should marry him more often with "I think once in a lifetime is quite sufficient, thank you." Sounds like William is insulting his bride to be there. I'm surprised she had no reaction to that.  4. Julia looked prettier (much better dress and hair) and happier when she married Darcy. Good thing William wasn't there to have a point of comparison. 5. The conversation between William and the Inspector is too good. It's one of the things in this episode that I do really like. I do think his reactions to what is being said is that of experience. William seemed like he was politely going to tell the Inspector that he didn't need the advice, but got interrupted. Not to mention there didn't seem to be any nervousness after the wedding, in fact William seemed uber confident just before he shut the door. |

Not to mention there didn't seem to be any nervousness after the wedding, in fact William seemed uber confident just before he shut the door. 3.) Hmmm, interesting take. I always took that comment about once being enough as a combination of worry/eagerness to just have the wedding done ( and finally get laid) and not having an on/off situation in the marriage as they had had in their relationship. As I said a couple of days ago in Death of Dr. Ogden, I think William is tired of the game and just ready to seal the deal. 4.) I don't know about the happier part, but I did like Julia's wedding look better with Darcy than I did with William. I think the main reason for me is that it's a Victorian burqa, and not at all Julia's normal look. It also was a common look for widows of the day-who usually married in a lilac or gray and weren't quite as demure as a first time bride, and Julia's bridal look here was even more virginal here than it was with Darcy. However, I've come to see the überconservative look as a concession to marrying in a Catholic church. Which we don't really see as a big deal today, but in that time was a massive undertaking for a toff. Upper-crust, Protestant Julia didn't just marry a Catholic, she quasi became one by having the wedding in a Catholic church. That said, after I saw the dress at the expo this past summer, it grew on me-there is some exquisite detail that just doesn't pick up on camera-which is a shame.  5.) PM has said somewhere that the writer's couldn't even decide whether or not William was a virgin. Apparently, most of the staff thought he was, while he (PM) thought he wasn't. Which is why we got that scene in Walk on the Wild Side in which PM has stated that he thinks William slept with Anna, while in other scenes he has appeared virginal. But by season 8, I think the writers were deliberately trolling us, and throwing us bits where William definitely seemed inexperienced (literally as nervous as a virgin in a whorehouse) while making faces and seeming insulted that the Inspector thought him a virgin in the carriage scene to smooth William in the final scene, confident and assured. In the end, who knows? The conjecture is probably more fun anyway, and I get to have duality theory, in which William was a virgin and experienced at the same time.  |

Yeah I think that's what William meant with his comment but I just thought it was somewhat of a funny thing to say to Julia considering her past marriage I definitely like that it could go either way on the virgin theory. It changes day by day on which I'd rather have |
